Consider Me (Playing For Keeps Book 1)

Product Information

He is both on and off ice the top Player and quite possibly the sexiest man ever to grace the field of Olivia’s vision. JenReads: 600 pages seems very long for a basic romance, but so many books seem to end at around the 85%-90% mark and the remaining pages are “bonus peeks” at other books. I loved it so much that I haven’t even started the next interconnected standalone in the series, because I wanted to bask in my love a little longer. I throw my hands in the air and scream, accidentally shoving her off my lap and to the ground when I rocket to my feet and yell out, “ I have a girlfriend!

in Ontario, Canada, and mom-ing with her incredibly sweet and beautiful little boy (he takes after his mama) and her animals. The page count was required to truly see their progression from strangers to lovers to soul mates with the strongest of bonds.But one look at Cade Hill, the sexy new sports director, and uptight reporter Rebecca Fieldstone is daydreaming about other things. My standards for men and relationships are so high after all these romance books but Hockey Players are untouchable. But when his dog runs into Rosie Wells, a beautiful woman with a blush as pink as her hair, she doesn't seem to have a clue who he is, and Adam seizes the opportunity as a chance to finally be himself.

There were portions of the ending that didn’t quite gel and felt to me they were there for plot purposes rather than being representative of, by then, well-established characters. Regarding popularity of sport and the representation of hockey in romance, the author of this book is Canadian so I expect that played into it as well. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now.I listened to about 4 hours of this book, which, I think, is a fair amount to get a good read on the contents and characters. Becka enjoys writing swoon-worthy romances with lovable and relatable characters, loads of humor, and a healthy dose of drama on the way to a happily ever after. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this new-to-me author, but I’ll admit that I’m a softie for a manhoe who is smacked upside the head the moment he meets the right girl – and that is exactly what this story is all about.

He has a close relationship with an elderly blind man, Hank, who he met the night of his father’s funeral seven years earlier. There have been some books about figure skaters, Kathleen Gilles Seidel wrote about snowboarders, and of course there are boxing books, and some about soccer. The one thing I didn’t like was that the timeline of the entire book was less than a year, so some of the “life events that happened” seemed a bit unrealistic, but I didn’t even care because all of the other parts were great. This was a pretty angsty romance filled with plenty of drama (including OW drama) and it honestly could’ve been shorter but I had a lot of fun reading it!If an author makes mistakes regarding any aspect of the game, it’s not likely that too many American readers will realize that. He’s so afraid that he’s no longer communicating, and that’s a version of him I’ve only seen once before. I should have framed my first comment on this topic more clearly; I was responding to Kaetrin’s comment about the earnings of the highest-paid NHL player versus players in other sports, so I was thinking in terms of the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, and NHL.

After one night of unbridled passion, Kaylee slips away to live her quiet life, but the paparazzi has other ideas. I found Olivia to be very relatable and honestly a lot of how she was and what she believed in really resonated with me. Olivia was the kind of character that I felt a kinship with, and it’s rare that I find a character that I agree with a lot of what they think about. This is my first ever book by this author and I knew nothing about her or her books before this one and I can honestly tell y’all that I LOVED the author’s writing because it was sarcastic and there was non-stop banter between the characters AND I LOVED the overall plot/storyline/amount of spice, so what I’m trying to say is that I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YALL! Like 600 pages long and after reading 200 pages, I feel like I should be somewhere past the second half of the story but no.

There’s also something of that excitement experienced by those who fell down the Kristen Ashley rabbit hole back when Motorcycle Man first came out – more the feel of the read rather than anything in the style or characters really – I wouldn’t draw a direct line between Ashley and yourself in terms of style. The first part of the book is him chasing her, her rebuffing him, them being thrown together by friends who, for reasons, suddenly think it’s a great idea they get together and him realising just who she is to him.
