Publisher Description
A brand-new standalone in the New York Times bestselling Briar U series!
What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate…no matter how hard that makes things.
But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie—my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.
Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.
And she’s making a play for me.
Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.
Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body—and my heart.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
Loved the book as I’ve loved the two first of this series and the four books of the off campus series. It’s hilarious, the characters are endearing and can be so infuriating at times (cuz judgy parents). I enjoyed that there was more representation in this book but I’m a tiny bit disappointed because Demi is half-black and half-cuban but we don’t learn about her black background until like 1/3 of the book and it’s not really mentioned again afterward.
Amazing, then sucky, then good I guess
I liked it in the begging, b it then they kinda took her and her ex b relationship was sucky he cheated and her dad was like but give him another chance :| Hunter was great, the smut was bad honestly. Meh honestly the more I think about it the more I hate it :/ I finished it though.
Hunter & Demi
Loved this storyline! After getting glimpses of Hunter throughout some of the other books, knowing how much of a player he was, it was great to see this different side of him that was not only a great captain, but also a very loyal friend. Even though he knew it would more than likely cause trouble in their friendship, he did the right thing and told Demi about her cheating boyfriend. The fact that afterwards he also helped try to get her back into the dating world, before they both came to their senses and gave their own relationship a shot, was also admirable. I loved the chemistry between them but I really wish these books had more in depth epilogues!!! I feel like so much gets left in the unknown and the end and it drives me nuts!!
