Hockey captain Parker Gagner is straight. Isn’t he? He’s always thought so, but there's something so compelling about Eli Martin's pleading eyes that it makes him step into an argument between Eli and Eli's asshole ex-boyfriend without thinking.

Fake boyfriend, psycho bitch of an ex, longtime crush, bisexual, friends to lovers, hey..you get the gist. I think I read this somewhere before. But somehow there's something in the writing that drew me in. I have a soft spot for a gentle giant who got a protective streak in him. I liked how Parker so smitten with Eli. I'm glad it's still f*cking works with me.

4 stars – I’m normally not a big fan of short novellas, though I have had some good luck with them recently, so when Junior Jolt, by Elaine Ashford, showed up in a weekly mailing for on-sale new releases a few weeks back, I picked it up. I may not usually go for books this short, but I am a sucker for M/M romances with a hockey player.

Missed the first two in this series somehow so will go back to them.
Nothing new in this one, guy who finds h I myself falling for a guy, a crazy ex, a fake boyfriend plot, doubts about the true feelings etc, but in spite of that, it's actually a sweet little read with a couple of cute guys.
I'm guessing they're early 20s so it's a little bit juvenile at times but there's a couple of smexy times which are passionate and a HFN which makes sense. ...more

I was really enjoying this story until the 76% mark. Then it just went to hell because of contrived angst that drug on much longer than necessary because of the flimsiest of excuses. I'd rather read an uneventful romance than one with a miscommunication plot device that makes no sense at all.

This was a quick fun read and even though after a few pages I realized it is the third in a series I had no problem getting into it.
It's one of those wishful thinking books but at this time of year I'm feeling more inclined to look at goodness or at least hope for it. Hope that there are Parker's out there for the Elis of the world.
There is a little nonsense from Eli, wondering if Parker is just being curious in spite of all his outward demonstrations to the contrary but it doesn't go on for l ...more

☆ 2.5/5 ☆
Je cherchais une lecture courte, mignonne et sans prise de tête, aussi le combi hockey + GFY promis par cette petite nouvelle était parfait pour moi. Une romance mignonne et légère, sans drames, avec de la tendresse et de l'affection, mais aucune psychologie des personnages et une scène de sexe finale nettement trop précipitée à mon goût. En résumé, une lecture version paquet de Haribo, une douceur sucrée mais rien de consistant, une histoire que j'aurai oublié dans quelques heures. ^^ ...more

Eli and Parker are perfect for each other. While Parker keeps his feelings for Eli hidden, he has to step in with Eli's ex decides to get handsy, and their relationship develops from there. I love this book from beginning to end, and while it's another straight man falling in love with another man, Parker's genuine feelings for Eli from the beginning and you feel that as your get to know both of them. It's a sweet and sexy book that I loved!!

Lately, I haven't enjoyed this author's books so much, but I really enjoyed this one. I loved both Parker and Eli. I love how Parker knew what he wanted and went for it, not agonizing over the fact he wasn't "gay." He just went with his feelings, and it made me smile. It was very refreshing compared to the usual drama in most books. Read it twice, it was so cute!!! ...more
