This is a hard book to review. The reading experience itself was pretty enjoyable, but I had a lot of problems with the story, so it gets a mixed review. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Why? Because I had SUPER low expectations for it. But, it’s an offshoot of the stories about my #1 favorite romance couple (from Him and Us), and it includes the scene of their wedding, so it was a given that I would have to read it. Yes, there […]
He’ll want glitter and zoo animals at your wedding
This is a fast, reasonably fun read that you really shouldn’t think about too hard. I do want to reassure you that the romance is between a man and a woman, not a man and a dog. Good Boy is a spin off of Him and Us, and is apparently the first in a new series about the Toronto Maple Leafs. I think one other thing we should all acknowledge, this clearly takes place in an alternate universe where the Toronto Maple Leafs are a […]
Tuck’s Perfection Everlasting
The Goal by Elle Kennedy
In the fourth, but hopefully not final, book in Elle Kennedy’s enjoyable Off Campus contemporary new adult romance series, another university student hockey player and lovely young woman find a future in each other as they move inexorably towards adult lives. Sabrina James has been surviving on ambition, overwork, and very little sleep as she drives herself through her final undergrad year. Determined to make a better life for herself and gain distance from her grinding family life, she is going to go to law […]
Hockey boys fallin’ in love
So I’ve read a lot of Sarina Bowen and highly recommend (minus The Fifteenth Minute, because NO. Just NO.) most of her books. I’ve also read one by Elle Kennedy, and it was okay. Last year they wrote Him, a M/M romance, and beloved sista Ellepkay LOVED it. Like has been on my case since to read it. This year they put out Us, a sequel and continuation of Wes and Jamie’s love story. There’s very rarely sequels in romances (the whole point is the […]
How are all these sports romances so hot when I don’t care even a little bit about sports?
4.5 stars Summary from Goodreads: They don’t play for the same team? Or do they? Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died. Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a […]
Hot hockey dudes and stuff.
New adult is not my genre. I mostly prefer historicals when I read romance. But occasionally, a book catches my eye and gets such good reviews that the curiosity monster who lives in my head and makes all my decisions just can’t be denied. This was one of those books. I’ve also read m/m romances before, but they are by no means something I’ve read a lot of. This seems to be a very well done one. There’s no doubt it’s new adult, because holy […]
