Consider Me (Playing For Keeps Book 1)

Product Information

Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. I’m looking forward to (finally) diving into the followup when it releases in audio next month, and here’s hoping that it’s even half as good as this one.

Also, I think the viewers and fans of hockey are on average young relative to those of baseball, which is also a very white sport. I can’t find articles on diversity among the athletes in national leagues that cover the MLS (soccer), but the NHL is less diverse than the NBA, NFL and even the MLB. Ollie’s bestie, Cara, was *a lot* and I felt her character was slightly exaggerated at times, but she was a true ride-or-die bestie and I loved how you could feel that through the writing. In the midst of fame, heartache, and personal uncertainty, the novel follows the journey of Adam Lockwood, a renowned NHL player, as he navigates the complexities of romance and self-discovery. A perfect day for a barbecue, though if we hadn’t already planned this weeks ago, we definitely wouldn’t be having it.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. A. who's finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next, you're flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend’s older brother. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist.

Sure, he may be pretty, but he's also a walking, talking reminder for you to wrap it before you tap it. The intimidating length is actually perfect in this instance, because this hero is working so hard to prove himself, persisting through stumbles and obstacles along the way. Olivia Parker is no different, because I've never had to work so hard in my life to obtain anything, especially a woman. Jennie would rather avoid her brother’s teammate, especially after several embarrassing run-ins, but suddenly they’re neighbors.With his chin resting in his hand, his eyes set on nothing in particular, both knees bouncing a mile a minute, this man is a hot fucking mess. 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. The only exceptions to this are when he’s on ice, or when his back is against the wall, when he feels threatened, or when he feels that someone he loves has been threatened.

His thoughts about Ollie would also sometimes start out very sweet but end very weirdly sexual—like, it was too much and it felt weird to read it. The article in the Atlantic listed it as having the second whitest fan base of the other popular team sports I listed (I don’t count NASCAR as a team sport, but it was the only whiter one than hockey; I was shocked that even the fandom of golf is more diverse). There’s just one rule he’s finding difficult to follow: stay away from his captain’s younger sister. When my kids were little, the questions I got from other parents were, Are you putting your son in hockey? Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants.Recently divorced from her “roommate” with passionless benefits, she was ready to start over on her own. 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. I get his face stuffed in my neck while he holds me close in bed, his warm lips murmuring my favorite three words on repeat: I love you. I don’t normally read books like this but I decided why not and I definitely recommend this book for anyone. With its relatable characters, heartfelt emotions, and a touch of humor, Unravel Me promises a captivating and emotionally resonant reading experience.
