 A Hockey fake dating romance but with so much more!


My review of  Deking by Cala Riley


My thanks firstly to Cala Riley for my ARC of this book via BookFunnel. This 5 star book was a delight to read from the first word to the very last word. Besides being a college hockey romance, there were many other subjects that were touched and obviously researched well. We had dementia and being a caregiver for a family member suffering from the disease. We had loss of family members. One of the toughest parts of the book to read but also most meaningful was the loss of Jerry. We saw how ugly jealousy and bullying can be. I loved how the story evolved and I truly enjoyed the main couple Wyatt and Lyla. Their journey from the start of the book to the very end was beautiful to read and I was happy to go on it with them. Cala Riley made me believe that I was part of the "family" with the way the scenes were described and the conversations and sometimes banter were so well written I felt myself wanting to have my say. LOL. So many chuckle at moments, wtg moments and some where I felt myself grabbing for a tissue to wipe my tears. There was nothing in my mind, to dislike about this book and even though it was book 5 of the series I truly believe that it could be read as a stand alone and would be perfectly understandable if the other 4 books had not previously been read. Cala Riley fans will know what I am saying when I say this is a must not miss read and for those not familiar with the author, I truly believe that once you read this book you will go back for more. I am excited to see where this author takes us next and who is featured as our main couple.
