Absolutely Not in Love: A Sweet Hockey Romcom

Written by Jenny Proctor

Narrated by Amanda Stribling and Steven Molony

My requirements for a man are simple. Must love books. Must NOT love hockey.

Which is why I will never be interested in my neighbor, the aloof and mysterious Felix Jamison, no matter how many books I see him hauling into his apartment. Unless he loses his pro hockey skates, I’m out.

But then he shows up at my symphony concert.

And I catch the sweet strains of Beethoven floating across the hall.

Have I mentioned how incredible he looks in his game day suit?

Still, my history with hockey is complicated. My older brother played, and let’s just say he stole enough limelight to land a plane at midnight. I was forced to be a part of that world for so long, now that I have a choice, it’s the last thing I want.

But something tells me Felix is about to change my mind…

Absolutely Not in Love is a closed-door hockey romcom with neighbor vibes between a bookish hockey goalie and a classical cellist, some forced proximity, and all the swoony chemistry! It's the seventh book in the Sweater Weather Sweet Romcom series, but all books in the series stand alone and can be read in any order.

Reviews for Absolutely Not in Love

[Berly · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

(edited to add audiobook thoughts at the end.)

This is the final book in the Sweater Weather series. This is a series of 7 books by 7 different authors. They are standalone stories that take place in the same town at the same time of year. They can really be read in any order, although Felix and Grace are introduced in the first book of the series, Just Don't Fall by Emma St Clair.

This story features Felix, a goalie for the minor league hockey team and his neighbor, Grace, a professional cello player.

It is a tender tale of overcoming challenges and stereotypes can lead to happiness. Jenny Proctor delivers a wonderful romcom with plenty of Rom to go with the Com! What a great way to wrap up a wonderful collection of stories! I can't wait to see what is coming next!

I was gifted a complimentary copy of the book by the author through Netgalley. I am happily leaving an honest review.


Edited to add that I have now listened to the audiobook. It was fabulous. I was reminded of how much I enjoyed Felix and Gracie together. The narrators both did a great job.
