After much searching, Hannah Wells finally meets someone who excites her. Her confidence in other parts of her life carries a heavy load of emotional baggage when it comes to s@x and seduction. She gets out of her comfort zone to grab her crush’s attention and creates a lasting image. Even if it means tutoring the arrogant, immature captain of the hockey team in exchange for a fake date, it will be incredibly satisfying.
Garrett’s highest goal is to become a skilled hockey player, but his falling grades are risking his dreams. If helping a caustic brunette make another guy jealous will confirm his spot on the team, he’s willing to do it.

The Goal:
A college senior, Sabrina James sees nothing but good luck in her future. She will graduate from college, take up law, and land a high-paying law firm.

One night of passion and unspoken tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but occasionally, one night is all it takes to change your whole life. Tucker holds the view that being a team player holds stars. He has no problem staying out of the spotlight when it comes to business on the ice. As far as being only 22 and deciding to be a father, he sees no place for callow age.

The good part is that the mother-to-be is pretty and intelligent and can keep him on his toes. The rub is that Sabrina’s heart is shut indissolubly out, and this fiery brunette will not listen to him no matter what he says. Who could start a life with a woman like that? Then he must tell her those goals can only be reached in team play, not a one-person show.

My Review:
Series a little bit ago, so I will revisit my favorite scenes and little bits and pieces that I love. So, starting with the first book, The Deal, Garrett and Hannah. I love them both so much.
Garrett is just like that perfect, wholesome book boyfriend who seems like a player from the outside, but he is super sweet and has always been super sweet. There’s no hardness to him. But I loved their relationship so much, the progression of it, the way that he was so soft with her and just wanted to help her, especially finding out about her past. And it was so unique and unexpected for a series like this, which is why it grabbed me. And I didn’t expect Elle Kennedy to go into the series and discuss serious issues.
And then I got to the second book, and I was like, oh my God, but Logan, I think I like Logan more than I like Garrett. And then I read the third book, and I was like, Dean, like,
I love Dean so much more than everybody else. So it was like, they got better and better. I know everybody has their picks when it comes to the boys, but personally, Dean is my favorite. Um, but going back to book two, I love book two. It’s my second favorite in the series. Logan is special to me because he’s like that goofy guy. I always love funny, like friend sidekick characters. And that’s precisely what he was like. And I also loved Grace so much more than I had anticipated.
I love Hannah, but she doesn’t have any qualities that set her apart or make her super interesting. I hope that’s not offensive. I do love her, and she’s very cute. But there’s something about Grace, her little finicky, like character traits and like quirkiness, the way she just goes on little rants. It was just really funny and relatable to me. And I really appreciate that. And I love her as a character. I love her as a character. And I really liked their story. The whole thing, like him showing up at her room thing, just really grabbed me from the beginning of the series. And then the relationship progressed from there. Obviously, they have that super long break because she’s questioning their relationship.
I definitely would recommend you do so. As I said, this video was basically just me trying to convince you to read it because it’s so good. I love the hockey vibes. I love the northern setting. I love all of the characters. They all bring something new to the table, new and different. You definitely get emotionally attached to these characters and feel frustrated when they’re frustrated. You feel happy when they’re happy. And you just feel at home. So that’s part of why I enjoyed it so much. I felt like they were not necessarily relatable, and I don’t feel like I related to any of these characters well.
Conclusion:
Although the book was terrific, the author’s writing style was great. All couples do very well in attaining each other in any case. All books have unique characters with their amazing love stories. Many ups and downs come in their lives, but they do not give up and keep on loving each other. If you are a fan of romantic novels just like Colleen Hoover, this series is one step forward. If you are looking for romantic and horny novels, you should go with this series. You will be happy. So, grab it as soon as you can, or follow the link on the page to buy.
