Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Friends-only is an impossible rule to follow in this forbidden-love, ice-hockey romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely. The first book in the Love and Hockey series.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…

Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.

Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me.

In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.

A Friends-only rule seems like a good idea, but it turns out to be far from easy. Wes is flirty, generous and looks at me like I’m the only one.

How can I avoid falling for my brother’s teammate when he comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules?

Every single one.

Tropes:

  • ice hockey romance
  • roommates-to-lovers
  • forbidden love
  • brother's teammate
  • lovers-to-friends-to-lovers
  • one night stand

Soo good! Josie and Wesley were fantastic. How they bring each other out of their shell and try new, different things was so cute.
Erin Mallon and Connor Crais were amazing as Josie and Wesley.

I honestly really loved this! I’ve read ALOT of romances and a lot of hockey romances and this is easily top three. Both characters were great and how refreshing to have not just the main characters but ALL characters act like grown ups and speak their minds and own up to mistakes! Not once did I roll my eyes as a result of a stupid decision! It’s funny, heart warming and sexy as hell! Their connection felt so genuine, a true love story. ALSO I listened on Audible and both narrators were brilliant but Connor Crais really has is going ON! Highly recommend

Loved everything about this!

What a sweet, spicy & emotional story!
I absolutely adore Wes & Josie, they are so freaking sweet together. I love how supportive they both are.
Working on Josie’s list together is full of adventures, shenanigans, & love. They have insane chemistry together, their banter is amazing & their friendship is sweet.
They both have to get outside of their comfort zones, and they both have to lean on their friends.
This was such a sweet & swoony Romance with fantastic narration by Erin Mallon & Connor Crais.
