2024 the best hockey review

Price: $0.00
(as of Dec 15, 2024 02:18:06 UTC - Details)

Pretending to be married to my brother's best friend and my biggest enemy is the last thing I imagined I'd be doing.

But there was a thin line between lust and hate, and when I fell into bed with the NHL's rookie playboy, I found out just how easy that line got blurred.

We were enemies with benefits, but then two pink lines changed it all.

Now he was bringing me back home to his family's farm and faking it became real . . . in more ways than one.

He was meant to be the enemy but falling for him meant letting him win.

The Scorecard: Graham: 1; Me: 0

Contains mature themes.

Title: Graham is a damn cinnamon roll💜
Review: I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this one! I had fallen in love with Graham as a side character previously in this series, but I still was unprepared for how damn wonderful he was in this book.Graham is just everything you want in a book boyfriend. Throw in his love for his family, closeness with his teammates, and need to prove to Emery he is the real deal? Swoon.They may have started out as, almost, bitter enemies…turned situationship…turned to a hell of a lot more, fake or let’s face it nothing could have been fake about these two.The ending left me shook. I can’t recommend falling in love with Graham and Emery more. Their story is wonderfully told and I’m so excited for what is to come.

Title: Mistakes Can Lead to Something Good
Review: I made a mistake when I purchased this book. I thought I was scrolling down, but I actually hit the buy button. I have to much respect for authors that I refuse to return the book even if I had not planned on buying it. As soon as I finished reading the book I was reading, I dove into Maren's book, and I am glad I did. Reading Graham and Emery's story has been fun for me. This is the first book of Maren's that I have read.She spins a great story with well defined leads and a supporting cast of characters that make you want to go further into this world. Her writing is straight to the point in moving the couple's relationship along, and she does it with great with and sincere conversations. There is no hitting you over the head, or hiding what is going on, or disguising what is happening in this romance. This is a sport's romance, brother's best friend and a push-me-pull-me romance. While they are fighting their attraction, they have no choice but to be their for each other. This story pulls you based on their relationship alone. It really isn't about the spice, and there is some.There are a few surprises along the way, but the one I did not see is the cliffhanger. I love this story, and I guess I'll be reading the next book to see how it ends.

Title: LOVED this one!
Review: I don't know what I expected going into this one, but this book left me absolutely weeping. (The scene that tipped me over the edge was his soliloquy to her pregnant belly). *Sobs*Graham, I love you. An absolute cinnamon roll of a MMC. A devoted and loving family man that wanted nothing more than to be there and commit to Emery. But do not be mistaken, this man is also the king of dirty talk! Emery is our FMC who is a hardworking, feisty lawyer. She has been conditioned to be strong and resilient, and doesn't think she needs a partner to feel fulfilled. Graham is there to prove her wrong, along with the best surprise.If you are bothered by cliffhangers, it's worth mentioning that this particular story does end on one. Personally, they don't bother me, and I am looking forward to reading the next installment.

Title: I don’t know how I feel.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book but I had a few issues with it. One main issue for me is that it felt a like it had some plot holes. SPOILERS INCOMING!!!! Graham dad died when he was a child but some moments when he was reflecting it was like his fathers death happened when he was older but it was stated that it happened when he was 8. I also really hated the end of this book. Yes it goes into the second one but still I wanted a better ending with either emotion confessions or even if it just ended after the babies were born and there was still a second book I wouldn’t have minded but this ending kind of irks me. Anyway I’m still going to read the second book because now I need answers.

Title: Sexy hockey player who falls first? Yes please!
Review: 🌶🌶🌶🌶Enemies to LoversAccidental PregnacyFake EngagementHockeySportsHe Falls FirstI knew with Grahams reputation from earlier books that he'd be super sexy. And the way he doted on Olive, I knew he'd be baby crazy.Seeing the non-playboy side of Graham was an eye opener, and the way he felt about Emery was every girl's dream. The way he reacted to the scorecard was hilarious.Emery is such a great representation of the planner, career driven, independent woman. I loved seeing how Graham changed her world and made her realize that what she had "planned" may not be what was best for her.The chemistry these two had from the fighting to the bedroom was off the charts. They really did compliment each other beautifully. But way to leave us hanging with that twist!!

Review: This is the book I’ve been looking for! This is the original BookTok video that hooked me in, and it did not disappoint. This one was great. Brother’s best friend, enemies to lovers in a way, and surprise pregnancy. I was hooked with the banter in the beginning, loved the sneaking around, ooopsie now we have forced proximity since a pregnancy is involved… Oh let’s throw in a fake engagement too on top of that to appease family members. The twists and turns in this book kept me on my toes! It had all the best tropes. I do recommend reading this book, and for once I say you really don’t have to waste time with the others in the series.

Review: I was so so excited for this book and Maren did not disappoint. The little glimpses that I got were not often so you can imagine my excitement when it was announced as a duet!Urg Graham, that man. I love how much you find out about him and how he just cares for the people around him. I lived for the sweet moments that he had with Emery and that mouth of his!He really sheds that playboy rep and jumps right into his baby Daddy status. Emery is one of my favourite female characters. She is just so confident, strong and not afraid to go toe to toe with Graham.That cliffhanger though, can’t wait to see what comes next.This was a 4.5/5 for me!
