The Love Comeback by Kristine W. Joy: Book Review

The Book

She was my first love. I was her first heartbreak. Now she’s back—with a kid who might steal my heart before I earn a second chance at hers.

Running into my high school sweetheart at an NHL meet-and-greet wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was teaching skating lessons to the nephew she’s raising on her own.

The moment I see her, it all comes rushing back—the way she used to smile at me like I was her whole world, the future we almost had.

I let her go once to chase my hockey dreams.

Biggest mistake of my life.

She’s tougher now. Guarded. Fiercely independent.

But there’s still a spark when our eyes meet—something unfinished, undeniable, electric.

I’m not the same guy who walked away.

Now, I just have to prove it.

The only question is… will she let me back in?

The Love Comeback is a no-spice, second chance, single guardian hockey romance. It's the third standalone novel in Kristine W. Joy's Glaciers Hockey Series.

Book Review

This was such a sweet story! First of all, I love both a hockey romance and a second chance romance, so a story that is both? Even better! Kade and Ella were both such great characters-- and impossible not to root for. Their chemistry was fantastic, of course... it didn't take long for all their old feelings to come back after being reunited once again. Theirs is a perfect example as to why I love second chance so much. Sometimes it's not a matter of it being the wrong person, but more that they needed to grow up some more before getting that second chance, and I did love seeing that growth and the glimpses of their history as well. As much as I loved the relationship between these two, Colton's character definitely made this story even better. The way that Kade wanted to take care of not just Ella, but Colton as well? Well, it was just the sweetest. I loved the bond between these two so much. Kade truly was just what both Ella and Colton needed. While their story had many moments that had me laughing out loud, it was also tender and emotional (touching on topics of grief and dementia), and I loved it all. 

The Love Comeback is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is the third book in the Glaciers Hockey series but could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
