My goodness this book was so HOT 🔥🔥

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

After kissing a stranger (Silas) at a bar to show her ex she’s *fine,* Ollie + Silas realize they can help each other in more ways than one.

She needs help with her internship (writing about hockey), and he needs a buffer to keep his ex (now working with the team) away from trying to get back together.

But what happens when feelings get in the way?

💭 overall thoughts:
I’m pretty obsessed with this whole series, and I feel like the books get better and better!

MCs:
Silas – I love how he’s totally a relationship guy, and definitely did not deserve how his ex treated him! He’s a sweet broken boy, who struggles to trust again.

Ollie – little spitfire! 10 years younger than Silas & a college student. I love how she goes after what she wants.

📖 story:
I love fake dating, I don’t think this was particularly unique there but 🤷🏻‍♀️ doesn’t bother me!

I feel like this book brought some good old MQ ridiculousness I was missing from the other books!
This one had me in stitches, especially whenever Ollie would tell the story of “how they met” 🤣

tropes + topics:
🩷 age gap
🥸 fake dating
🏒 pro hockey player
🗞️ college student – journalism
🫶🏼 found family
❤️‍🩹 broken mmc
💞 dual 1st person pov

The Graham Effect

The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy - Romance Book Review by Reading in PJs

BLURB:

Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women’s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father’s shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine–a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.

Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude…and sexy as hell. But he’s still the enemy.

Briar’s new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men’s team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another’s guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he’s angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word
with her dad.

The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they’re trying to ignore. It’s a dangerous game they’re playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

this is definitely a phenomenal start to a series we didn’t know we needed! 😍 (or did we?)

So much fun to return to Briar & the newest generation!

Gigi Graham is such a fun spitfire, with a heart of gold. Luke Ryder is the sweetest broken boy, who just needs someone in his corner to stay.

Their relationship developed so perfectly. I LOVED their communication – they were both totally no BS people and completely honest with each other along the way.

My only teeny tiny *me* issue was when I was reminded I’m far closer to Garrett & Hannah’s ages than Gigi 🤭
We don’t often see much of the parents in college romance, so I can forget that 🙃 but we NEEDED them in this one – and of course all her hot uncles (I’m looking at you, Dean Dilaurentis).

Tropes + topics:
🏒 Grumpy sunshine
🏒 Hockey players (both MCs)
🏒 Friends with benefits
🏒 Secret dating/forbidden
🏒 College/new adult
🏒 No third act breakup
🏒 Dual POV/first person

Thank you so much to NetGalley & Little Brown Book Group UK for an advanced copy to review. All opinions are my own!

Tempting the Player by Rebecca Jenshak - Romance Book Review

After Jane’s true identity comes out – as former child star Ivy Greene – her safety is compromised. Worried about her, Jane’s parents hire Hendrick Holland, former pro-football player, to be her bodyguard.

The problem? They haven’t told Jane about it.

Hendrick is happy to be back in his hometown, needing a break from LA and the life he’s not sure he wants anymore. He moves back in with his brothers, and helps take care of them, while also looking out for Jane.

Jane starts to fall hard and fast for this mysterious stranger who seems to always be at the right place at the right time, coming to her rescue.

Hendrick is falling too, but has to hold back due to his job.

I really loved this series, and I think this book may be my fav!

I loved the way things built between these two, their push and pull dynamic between what they want and what they should do.

Jane *temporarily* moving in with Hendrick & his brothers for protection made this book even better! I loved forced proximity of living together, and the awesomeness that is the Holland family.

Of course, loved seeing all the gals from the previous books & their beaus.

What you’ll find in Tempting the Player:
🌱 Bodyguard + Famous person
🌱 Hidden identity
🌱 Former pro football player
🌱 College
🌱 Grumpy sunshine
🌱 Roommates/Forced proximity
🌱 Book 4 in Campus Wallflowers
🌱 Dual POV/first person

REBECCA JENSHAK – I NEED you to write a spin-off series with the Holland brothers!! Please & Thank You 🥰🥰

Tutoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak - Romance Book Review

Daisy is a “good girl” – quiet, studies hard, and enjoys time with her friends.

After being ditched by her lab partners, she’s paired up with hockey players Liam (her “good guy” super crush) and his best friend Jordan, who is the exact opposite of everything she’s ever wanted. Jordan is fun, loud, and has a reputation for being a playboy.

As they get to know each other, Jordan realizes Daisy is not all he assumed her to be. Wanting to get closer to her, he asks her to tutor him. With time, Daisy begins to see Jordan’s not all she thought either.

“Those sparks and flutters I was waiting for finally arrived. Oh sh*t. I went and fell for the wrong guy.”

Tutoring the Player is the first book in the Campus Wallflower series. I previously read the 3rd and loved it so much I’m back for the rest!
I love the premise of this series – hot athletes falling for the shy, wallflower girls.

This was simply adorable! What started with flirtatious emails (I LOVE when a connection is formed by text), soon became so much more than either of them expected.

I listened to the audiobook for this one – both narrators were awesome!

What you’ll find in Tutoring the Player:
⭐️ Opposites attract
⭐️ Hockey player
⭐️ College
⭐️ Good Girl/Bad Boy
⭐️ Tattooed Hero
⭐️ He falls first
⭐️ Reformed playboy
⭐️ LGBQT+ rep
⭐️ Slow burn
⭐️ Dual POV/first person
