Off the Ice (Juniper Falls #1) by Julie Cross - Restarting March 7th 2018

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The NY Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Whatever Life Throws at You kicks off a brand-new series perfect for fans of Miranda Kennealy and Abbi Glines.

All is fair in love and hockey…

Claire O’Connor is back in Juniper Falls, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be. One semester off, that’s what she promised herself. Just long enough to take care of her father and keep the family business—a hockey bar beside the ice rink—afloat. After that, she’s getting the hell out. Again.

Enter Tate Tanley. What happened between them the night before she left town resurfaces the second they lay eyes on each other. But the guy she remembers has been replaced by a total hottie. When Tate is unexpectedly called in to take over for the hockey team’s star goalie, suddenly he’s in the spotlight and on his way to becoming just another egotistical varsity hockey player. And Claire’s sworn off Juniper Falls hockey players for good.

It’s the absolute worst time to fall in love.

For Tate and Claire, hockey isn’t just a game. And they both might not survive a body check to the heart.

I liked her series, but this is pretty dull.

10% (view spoiler)[ So far this book isn't bad, but also isn't that great either. I think it's going to be one of those book that while you read them they are enjoyable, but afterwords you don't remember too much about them (hide spoiler)]
30% (view spoiler)[ I don't really like his ex girlfriend Haley, she seems to want him just to win some competition (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ Not that I ship them that much, but I hope that they work things out (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

60% (view spoiler)[ He should really tell someone about his father, most of all his mother (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

80% (view spoiler)[ This is getting a bit over dramatic. I'm not saying that the characters don't have real problems, but the way they are handling everything is really annoying (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Ending (view spoiler)[ I'm totally not satisfied with this ending. It had some cute moments, but nothing really got resolved. Yes his friends found out about his father, but apart from that he didn't resolve the problems with his father. (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

Starting it now

Honestly... (view spoiler)[ Haley and the players are the only characters that I like so far. Tate and Claire are kind of annoying. Especially Tate, blaming Haley for not knowing him, while he kept silent all the time, and used her to forget Claire. That's such an assholeish movie smh (hide spoiler)]

[Edit~A]

I'm at 10% and I have the same sensation but I feel that (view spoiler)[ Claire and Tate's romance wil be very sweet. They have known each other since childhood. I like that she is a bit older but her father health worried me...Brain tumor didn't sound good for him. (hide spoiler)]

I feel like Tate: I really hate his father. (view spoiler)[ I think both of them are losing their fathers, Claire because he is ill, and Tate because his father is each time less a father... (hide spoiler)]

[María]

80% Soooo, Claire and Tate are so invested in their problems that (view spoiler)[ Claire forgot about Tate's dad ploting to get the players in his team!!! WTF! (hide spoiler)]

So, It was not great but I have read worst book. (view spoiler)[ I think Tate's mother knowing what his father did to him was the closing for the character and is fine... (hide spoiler)]
