After reading the Risk and the Dare, I would LOVE a romance book about Coach Jensen and his new girlfriend.

I already know E. Kennedy had thoughts about them (for those who remember this part of the Legacy)

I’m officially his groupie. But that’s okay. Because he’s my groupie. We root for each other.

[Book Two of Four]

Story: 5 out of 5 Smut: 2.5 out 5

So, I was nervous I wasn’t going to like this book because of Brenna’s personality, but damn if I didn’t end up loving this book!

The risk of dating the enemy really paid off for her, haha.

As usual, you have the fun banter and equally fun interactions between these college students, but I was surprised most with Brenna’s interaction with her dad. That conversation between them towards the end had me in tears. Oh my god.

This book starts off going up and up and up, and then that downfall at the end keeps you in a chokehold to see how it will play out. Definitely worth the read.

* Dear lord. The tension between these two is amazing 🥵

* Dude, McCarthy is head over heels in love with Brenna and all she wants is a casual hook-up. How is he gonna handle it when his captain ends up dicking her down?

* So that was her hook-up with Mike!? A sloppy makeout session and a handjob she didn’t even finish because she fell asleep 😂

* Ew. That internship interview was tanked the moment that sexist asshole opened his mouth. Poor Brenna.

* Tansy is the worse cousin ever. I’d have ditched her too.

* His hand was RIGHT THERE! And they let their phones distract them? I’m so disappointed lol.

* Lol she told that sleazebag interviewer that Jake was her boyfriend 🤦🏻‍♀️ And now he wants one real date for every fake date he has to go on. Yes!

* Goddamn. As if her junkie ex asking for cash wasn’t frustrating enough, her basement apartment flooded. Girl can’t catch a break.

* That was a dinner from hell. I would have made Jake grovel. Fuck that.

* Awww. She had fun on their date 🥹 but that phone call ruined the mood. It was totally her junkie ex, wasn’t it?

* I like that Jake’s best friend is looking out for him, but I feel like she’s jealous. Like she expects them to get together after graduation and him suddenly liking a girl enough to date is throwing her off.

* Oh fuck. Hockey Net is gonna air the Briar/Harvard game? Why do I get the sick feeling Mulder is gonna be on it and out Jake and Brenna’s “relationship”.. 😬

* Oh no… the enemy coach caught them 😅 Fucckkkk.

* Goddamn. They had to go rescue her junkie ex and he had the audacity to ask for fifty bucks..!? What a moron.

* Oh fuck. That fight on the ice was brutal. And totally not the characters I expected it from.

* The fucking Harvard coach outed them?!

* I fucking hate Brenna’s dad right now. Fuck this guy.

* And now I fucking hate Hazel, the best friend, for getting in Jake’s head. wtf, dude!

* Goddamn. And now I’m crying 😭

* I swear to god, Hazel better give Jake that bracelet. I’m gonna be pissed if she hides it from him.

* Wowwwww. She didn’t give him the bracelet. What a bitch.

* Now she did. Still a bitch love because she was in love with her best friend. Thankfully Jake doesn’t return her feelings.

* Awww. They’re together. And I’m glad she got that last minute jab at Harvard’s coach. Dick deserved it.

Emily Wilde's Encylopedia of Fearies by Heather Fawcett - 3/5

*marked for rereads

I dived back into elle kennedy's college hockey world and damn did I miss these dumbasses haha. I'm not always a second-generation fan but I'm cautiously optimistic going into The Graham Effect especially when the main character has my name HAHA. Emily Wilde's was an interesting book but I found it a little too slow for me. I'm excited to read The Graham Effect next but I'm currently diving into King of Greed!

[killianglyndon]

order my crescent city series copy today, even tho i haven’t finished acotar series lmao but i’m sure that i’ll want to read crescent city after i finish.

unfortunately it’s that the bookstore here only can order book 1 in paperback and book 2 in hardcover 🫠🫠 but the hardcover is actually a lot cheaper, it’s only a few dollars more than paperback (which they don’t have idk why) i was going to see if i can get new cover editions but i think that’s uk only thing? idk

[cuttergauthier]

I am not one that will actually read an actual book, but i bought the Chase 2 weeks ago i finished that series in no time and I bought The Deal by Elle Kennedy Yesterday and I only have 6 Chapter left to read... I can’t stop, her books are amazing!

My work chat is talking about hockey teams and I only realized they were talking about hockey because they brought up the Edmonton Oilers and Jake Connelly in Elle Kennedy's The Risk plays for that team 💀💀💀

[theemporium]

Can I ask what hockey books u read 👀👀 I've also read some pretty terrible ones myself and I'm losing hope 😭 sticking to hannah Grace for now cause I actually enjoyed icebreaker and wildfire 🤠

they are trashy but i do adore the elle kennedy books! i recommend the off campus series and the briar u series, but stay away from 'the legacy' and the new second generation series because they are quite shit and just ruin the world tbh😭my personal favourites were 'the deal', 'the score' and 'the risk'!!

as for books to avoid? a lot of people recommended avery keelan, becka mack and hannah cowan. maybe it's partially my fault for reading them all so close together but they were shit😭like the characters and plots and the whole vibe in general was off for all three of them. not personal fans of their works

i did read "behind the net" by stephanie archer and "rule number five" by j wilder and, i won't lie, i don't remember much from the reads but i remember liking them a little better. they didn't necessarily scratch the itch i wanted for a hockey romance but they were more tolerable than the previous three authors i mentioned

but i fucking ADORE the maple hill series and i cannot wait for henry's book!! although to be fair, they don't really focus on the hockey aspect as much as other books do which i honestly don't mind. they are still great books (wildfire is my fav) but i wouldn't go into them expecting a shit load of hockey!! even icebreaker was more ice skating based than hockey
