This is a sweet little story. It's a nice, quick read, perfect for when you need something to read but you don't have a lot of time.

Nikki and Chase meet by accident, but end up falling in love over 2 weeks where they spend every possible second with each other. They are both super cute, and I loved watching them fall in love. ( )

Short, sexy, sweet, love at first sight, and PERFECT! Yes, this is the perfect Sunday afternoon read! The NY Otters are back, rookie Chase Harding is working hard to prove his spot on the team. Nikki Jennings is enjoying her first day in NY before she starts her dream job at the NYC Ballet.

When they both end up at the same place, and their eyes meet, instant love at first sight! This is a great story of first as a couple, and as a girl from a small town who is out on her own for the first time. Loved Every word!

I was excited to kick off this new Kindle World series with Cherry Picked by Kristen Hope Mazzola. Cherry Picked is a tie into Kristen's Shots on the Goal series and Fiona Davenport's Yeah, Baby novella series. I am no stranger to these author's, so I knew it would be a great, easy read.
I was pleasantly pleased that this could be read as a standalone novella, so a reader does not feel "in the dark."
Nikki and Chase - their adorable, yet heated insta-love was swoon worthy for sure. It was a hands down, incredible romance. This author made this short read flow with ease and was beautifully written. I highly recommend reading Cherry Picked! ( )

Kristen Hope Mazzola’s CHERRY PICKED is sweet addition to the Shots on Goal Series. NHL Rookie, Chase Harding, gets a spot on his favorite team, relocating to New York. Nikki Jennings moves from her small town to chase her dream of becoming a ballerina. The two meet as they both set out to start their news lives in a new city. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for New Adult and Adult audiences.

I loved this story. Chase and Nikki are adorable. They both leave their small towns to pursue their dream careers. They are both talented and grateful for a shot at their revered profession. They are likeable characters with great values. I love how they meet. The couple has a lot in common and seems destined for one another.

I appreciated that Gavin Hayes and Brayden Cox from the first two books from the series were in this story. I loved that Chase was a fanboy of the two and that Cox was his favorite player. I loved hearing the perspective of a rookie first experiencing the NHL. It was insightful and thought-provoking.

Every book that I have read by Kristen Hope Mazzola keeps getting better. The story flowed well. The characters were skillfully developed. I enjoyed the plot. CHERRY PICKED is a heartwarming and captivating story that I truly enjoyed. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
