This is the beginning of the series in which Violet Hall is just in a terrible situation. She has to decide whether the relation which she has formed with a hockey player is real or it is just a game from his side. Violet for the record had no interest in the hockey players because her stepbrother was one of them and she knew how they are from the inside.
Alex who happens to be the captain of the team was not very different according to the news in the media. So Violet thought that it was not a big deal if Alex had a perfect body and killings abs. However, author Helena Hunting has painted Alex as a gentle character here who has pleasant manners and a killing personality. When he starts coming closer to Violet, she starts realizing that he is not such a bad option after all.
Then like in Pucked Over or Pucked Up the magical night between Alex and Violet approached. Violet really enjoyed all of it that happened between her and Alex but she thought that it would be limited to one night only. She was wrong in her expectations as Alex kept on contacting her through messages and emails. He finally found out that Alex was the perfect boyfriend material which she was looking for.
Now the only problem which remains between the two is the media has another way of describing Alex and Violet does not want to be part of all that gossip. Violet wants her relationship with Alex to be a special secret between them which does not get alerted by news in the media.
