So Gallantly Streaming by Dulcie Dameron: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

DiFranco's Priorities:

Family. Hockey. Gaming. And in that order.

But Love?

Love's been benched indefinitely...

Dash

Pro hockey player, Dash DiFranco, is quickly skating toward the final buzzer of his career. But not before he hits the highlight—getting invited to play for the Stars: an all-American team representing the West.

To celebrate his last hoorah, he offers his online gaming fan base a chance to win tickets to the first hockey game in the series. And once that’s done, the door to playing professional hockey closes on him—for good. He’ll then need to rely on his live-stream gaming success to carry him through to retirement. At least, that’s the plan.

But the last thing Dash expects at the capstone of his career is to meet a girl who makes him want to chase more than just internet fame.

Ruby

Ruby Pinkerington’s dream of owning a boutique salon has finally come true. But after an unexpected family crisis where she becomes the main caregiver to her younger brother, her dream slows to a near halt.

When he wins tickets to a once-in-a-lifetime hockey game to meet his online gaming icon, Ruby’s happy for a small reprieve for them both. Until said icon waltzes into her salon and ASKS HER OUT days before the actual game.

Now things will be awkward. And Ruby doesn’t do awkward. Not willingly, anyway.

But the meet-and-greet at the game takes an unexpected turn, and Dash makes it his mission to bring Ruby out of her shell. Along the way, sparks ignite, stars align, and a unique connection offers them both a second chance at romance. Even if all they can ever have is two fun, flirty weeks in DC.

**So Gallantly Streaming is a part of the multi-author collaboration, Stars, Stripes, and Hockey Nights: a sweet hockey romcom series. If you love when the shy girl falls for the golden retriever guy in a whirlwind romance that has all the feels (but none of the spice), this book is for you.**

Book Review

If Dulcie Dameron writes it, I'm going to love it... and this one was no different. Right from their first somewhat awkward meeting, I adored these two. As an introvert who can be a little awkward around people myself, I definitely related to Ruby on that front. Dash was the perfect balance to her. Despite their awkward start, these two really had such a sweet dynamic between them that I couldn't get enough of. I also loved the importance of family in this story. The relationships that both of these characters had with their respective families were great and added so much to the story... including some laugh out loud moments! This might have been a whirlwind romance with both of these two falling hard and fast, but it worked for them! Simply put, I loved it. 

So Gallantly Streaming is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of the Stars, Stripes and Hockey Nights series. This is a multi-author series, and all books can be enjoyed as standalones with no issues.
