Publisher Description
Jacob
The Bayard College hockey team isn’t where I thought I’d be a season ago. I was a rising star in the Canadian major junior league, cruising toward a spot on an NHL roster—until a single disastrous night on the town brought it all crashing down. Now I’m out of options, except for playing well, studying hard, and staying away from girls. I shouldn’t be flirting with the hottest, sweetest chick I’ve ever met. But maybe she can actually help me out…
Skylar
I know Jacob is out of my league. I’m just trying to go with the flow, which isn’t easy when six feet and four inches of total hockey hotness is making a play for me one moment, then giving me the cold shoulder the next. Then he suggests a ridiculous plan that could help both of us. My head tells me this rugged athlete isn’t worth my time, but my body says something altogether different. Risking my heart for Jacob may be the craziest thing I’ve ever done . . . but I won’t let him shut me out.
Customer Reviews
Sexy & Thought Provoking!
This is a hockey series that is sweet, sexy, and fun, entwined with a serious side that dealt with rape culture and bystander intervention. I admire that the author took on this difficult subject but this young adult sport/fake romance trope has so much more in it. I loved how realistically the main characters dealt with this subject.
Jacob Flass finds himself at Bayard College playing ice hockey and getting a second chance at his dream to get into the NHL. Now with a new team, and a new coach he must stick to the straight and narrow as well as go through a Sexual Assault Prevention Awareness Program (SAPAP).
Skylar Lynwood was starting her Sophomore year at Bayard College with some serious goals, after suffering a terrible first year, that ended in one of her best friends taking his own life. But after going through counseling and getting involved herself in the new SAPAP team she is ready to try to make her parents happy.
These two meet and there is an immediate attraction and chemistry. Leaving a lasting impression upon one another, but they both have serious goals getting in the way. Time and time again these two keep running into each other and just can’t get the other out of their head. Finally Jacob suggests a fake relationship that quickly turns into a real one. These two have so much in their young lives that they are keeping from others and each other. When all is revealed will these two survive the aftermath? You will need to read to get all the juicy details.
I received an early copy and this is my honest review.
