Plays by the Book by Carolyn Miller

Plays By The Book by Carolyn Miller is book number five in the Northwest Ice series, but is also a standalone novel. Britta Johnson, the librarian, considers herself very ordinary, but is comfortable in her own shoes. Mitchell Reilly is an intimidating hockey player who is a little bit sacred of Britta Johnson when she gives out her best librarian looks. Mitch is hopeful she can help him with choosing romance books so he can impress his girlfriend.

Britta Johnson is the librarian that you want to be when you grow up. Mitch is a great hero who is so loveable and the real deal. Both charming characters had wonderful banter, chemistry, and a solid believable love story. I LOVED Britta’s sisters and family and it was fun to visit with past friends from the hockey Bible study. The faith narrative was seamlessly integrated into the story, and brought depth to the characters.

It was wonderful to visit St. Paul, Minnesota and hang out with the Minnesota Wild hockey team. I loved the humor, wonderful characters, faith, and sweet romance in Plays by the Book by Carolyn Miller. The story had all the feels and was such an engaging read! I highly recommend Plays by the Book and this will be a 2025 favorite for me. #britt&mitchforever
