Playing for Keeps by Kendall Ryan -> Starting October 27th, 2022

A sexy, brother's best friend hockey romance from New York Times bestseller Kendall Ryan, kicks off a series you'll devour!

I've never been so stupid in my entire life.

My teammate's incredibly sweet and gorgeous younger sister should have been off-limits, but my hockey stick didn't get that memo.

After our team won the championship, and plenty of alcohol, our flirting turned physical and I took her to bed.

Shame sent her running the next morning from our catastrophic mistake. She thinks I don't remember that night—but every detail is burned into my brain so deeply, I’ll never forget. The feel of her in my arms, the soft whimpers of pleasure I coaxed from her perfect lips…

And now I’ve spent three months trying to get her out of my head. Which has been futile, because I’m starting to understand she’s the only girl I’ll ever want.

I have one shot to show her I can be exactly what she needs, but Elise won’t be easily convinced.

That’s okay, because I’m good under pressure, and this time, I’m playing for keeps.

(view spoiler)[It really sucks that Justin just faked not remembering their night together. That feels like the coward’s way out. It sucks that they let the taboo nature of their relationship stop them from being together. So what if he is her brother’s best friend and that he was practically a brother to her growing up. They both have feelings and they should just go for it.

That really sucks what that woman did to Justin. Faking a pregnancy for money? That’s the worst kind of person.

Justin is so down in the dumps. I think that he should have just told Owen what happened with Elise. It’s weighing on him too much. And while he’s at it he should tell Elise that he remembers and just be honest about how he feels about her. Sheesh. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Oh, these fools. They admit that they like each other and then they go and agree that they can’t tell anyone. Why?

The feels are there. They are just suppressing them. Argh. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[OMG, Justin showing up on career day to her classroom was the sweetest! I don’t think that that is proper protocol for just a hookup or a friend with benefits.

Sex emergency? What did Owen get up to?

The virginity re-do night was sweet of Justin. And he even said that he has never done anything like that for a woman before. If that isn’t a clue that they are in way over their heads then I don’t know what is. (hide spoiler)]

Finished!

(view spoiler)[Okay, yeah, hookups don’t get tampons for you at the store.

Whoa, Justin’s tentative talk with Owen didn’t go well. I guess I can’t blame Owen since Justin’s never really been serious about anyone and has pretty much been a fuck boy for years. But it kind of sucks that he didn’t give him the benefit of the doubt.

I am glad that Owen finally came around and that they cleared the air. And their families accepting their relationship was great. (hide spoiler)]
