Girlfriend…without benefits?

Hometown hockey hero, Blake has life completely figured out. He’s footloose and fancy free with the world’s coolest job and an endless parade of puck bunnies ready to help him celebrate his victories. The status quo is working for him, so why does he agree to co-parent a stray puppy with his too-serious, workaholic neighbor, Erika? And why is he so annoyed when she suddenly starts dating some tool named Doug? And why can’t he stop finding excuses to see her and touch her and kiss her and… She’s not his girlfriend, right?

Erika has enough on her plate as an ER doctor without adding any more stress to her life. So adopting a dog with Blake, the fun-loving, never-take-anything-serious, commitment-phobe across the hall is a stupid idea, right? Of course, she also probably shouldn’t be his plus-one for charity galas either. Or seeking comfort from him during a thunderstorm. Or kissing his five-for-fighting boo-boos better. Or letting him teach her how to “reduce stress” with her personal toy collection. After all, he’s not her boyfriend. Is he?

So what happens when two people reluctant to commit find love where they least expect it… Right across the hall.

🏒Review🏒
Blake is successful both when it comes to his performance on the ice and his charm when it comes to women. When he meets Erika, he was attracted to her but their views on relationships couldn’t be more different, so they remain friends and neighbors instead. That was working well until they find themselves sharing a puppy and now everything feels very different.

Erika is focused on her career as a doctor and is looking for love not a casual relationship which is what Blake wanted. Despite that a friendship develops between the two of them but when you throw in a puppy and a dating ride nothing will ever be the same.

I enjoyed seeing Blake realize that what he wanted from Erika was more than friends and how he was willing to show her that he could be the man she needed, and he wanted forever and not a fling.
