She’s about to make a deal with the college bad boy…

Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she’s carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush’s attention, she’ll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

...and it’s going to be oh so good

All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he’s worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he’s all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn’t take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn’t going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

I started without knowing the plot except that is a sports romance and the first chapter was a bit cringe, but keeping in mind it was written in 2015 I went on. I think some topics should have been addressed better but overall I enjoyed it; I can understand why it was such a hit back then.

Okay dude, I had fun reading it!

Kennedy is so good at describing trauma i had to put the book down a couple times, but i still think the prose was a little stilted at places. despite that, this book is a perfect read for a lazy weekend.

Fell victim to the one and only Garrett Graham.. I‘m also just a girl

okay, so this book literally had me kicking my feet and rolling around in bed, giggling like a total weirdo. it genuinely brought back that ‘kilig’ feeling i got when i read better than the movies. the witty bickering, the banter, and all the teasing made it such a fun and easy read— it's written so light. HOWEVER, and this is a big however for me, i did hit some points that gave me the ick. there were quite a few problematic takes from the male characters that really stood out. the way the author seemed to use abuse as a joke, portraying these guys as straight up ASSHOLES, and then the fact that this abuse and misogyny felt romanticized? that’s what stopped this from being a five-star read for me, no doubt. overall, if it weren't for that problematic stuff, i really enjoyed the romantic and funny scenes. it’s a shame because those parts were so good.

Ehm kdo právě strávil místo nutného učení se na maturitu několik hodin čtením?
Rozhodně to není perfektní kniha, kterou bych doporučila každému, ale zrovna teď, dnes, se mi hodila do noty, sedla mi do nálady a já ji okamžitě - OKAMŽITĚ - potřebovala mít přečtenou (resp. jsem ji rozečetla včera večer a četla až do půl jedné do rána a dneska jsem ji potřebovala už jen dočíst).
Sice můžu s jistotou říct, že mě to fakt neskutečně bavilo, ale když o srovnám s činností, kterou jsem měla místo čtení dělat (aka učit se Ludvíky, popravit krále, zavést republiku a pak znovu restaurovat momnarchii...), bavilo by mě asi všechno.
Ale ne, vážně mě to bavilo, bylo hodně osvěžující, že se vztah vyvíjel bez větších obtíží, které většinou tyhle univerzitní vztahy doprovází, jen ta poslední zápletka, kterou mezi sebou hlavní postavy řešily, byla hodně předvídatelná, i když se mi zase líbilo, že s tím jak on i ona naložili po svém a netradičně.
Hodně mě pobavilo, jak moc se snažila autorka ukázat, že to nejsou blbci, kteří myslí jen na sex, hokej a zpěv - ale že umí i přemýšlet o nacizmu. Na jednu stranu to bylo úsměvné, na druhou stranu mi vážně přišlo (znovu to slovo) osvěžující, že postavy řešili doopravdy něco jiného než sex, hobby mužské a hobby ženské protagonistky.
A tahle recenze je tak dlouhá jen proto, že se místo ní mám učit ty Ludviky.
Long story short: užila jsem si to. Až budu mít náladu, sáhnu po dalších dílech (teď by ta nálada byla, ale fakt se potřebuju učit a ne binge-read celou sérii... škoda no).

Sometimes people sneak up on you and suddenly you don’t know how you ever lived without them. I gotta admit that I didn’t even want to read this, but seeing the trailer for the show piqued my interest and I had to. Sports romance is NOT my thing, like at all. The MMC’s are always written like complete morons and are too possessive, and that happens a little bit in this book, but not to the point where I’m put off by it. It’s actually pretty justified given what happened to Hannah, so Garrett gets a pass. Obviously, y’all should know by now that I adore that fake dating/friends to lovers tropes (or whatever this can be classified as?) so I devoured this book. If the rest of the books have this same fun banter and cute scenes, I might just have to read those too.

Tengo que admitir que leí este libro porque va a salir la adaptación en serie y me dió fomo. Realmente estuvo nice. Es un buen libro para pasar el rato, pero no es algo del otro mundo, me recordó mucho a el libro de "Icebreaker". Sí me gustó la dinámica de los personajes, fue muy graciosa y me encanta como estaban "bickering" todo el tiempo. Garrett es muy funny, me encanta lo terco que es y como nunca se rinde el chamaco cuando es algo que tiene que ver con Hannah. Eso si, se nota que es un hombre, especialmente en los primeros capítulos. Me leí el libro bastante rápido y fue sencillo de procesar. El papá de Garrett es un cabrón. Hay varias escenas que son sorpendentemente profundas. Estuvo muy linda la confianza y el "bond" que crearon los protagonistas. Me gustó y me dió mucha risa la manera en la que se "resolvió" el "third act break up", lit el Garrett le dijo en la cara a la pobre Hannah que fue una boba jajajaja. 

Psd. Dean dejó tremenda impresión en este libro memeo, so me da mucha curiosidad como ese personaje va a terminar en una relación, pq la real es medio putito jajaja.

This book is your classic hockey romance, and I absolutely devoured it from start to finish. The timelines in these stories always make me laugh—declaring “I love you” a month into a relationship feels so fast, but honestly, I get it. I’m a hopeless romantic through and through. I can’t wait to watch the series this month!

Just another cute romance novel. Easy to get through.

Vanessa

Cute little book. I really thought we were going to get a romance novel without a miscommunication trope but Ellie Kennedy ruined a good thing but Addison one in, in the last 100 pages. Honestly about 150 pages of this novel were not needed. I feel like all the good parts were in the middle buried by random information that didn’t need to be there. Also most conflict was resolved too quickly.

Baby I could watch you watch paint dry and not get bored…

Roisin Ramdhayan 

Was a fun real life college romance. Little bit of a slow start but ended happy. There were some sad parts but it just made the book seem more real.

Sierra Bennett

I enjoyed this one. An easy read. The story of college student romance with some a bit of drama but oddly not so much between Hannah and Garrett.  They have a solid relationship which was nice to read. They help each other overcome adversity. 

Jeannie Gallagher

I don't really have too many thoughts about this one😭 a good palate cleanser between my other reads 

Paige Leitner

The first book in an all new series featuring college hockey stars and the women they fall for, by New York Times bestseller Elle Kennedy.

Jennifer Gosnell

Spicy. I liked the characters a lot. They felt like real people with real personalities. Lots of chemistry and tension — loved it! Will definitely be reading the rest of the series!
