Blurb

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…

Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.

Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me.

But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start.

In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.

I’m a good student turned good librarian. A rule-follower. I’m not the kind of girl who does complicated flings. So we agree to another rule: friends-only.

It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous.

He gives me rides to work.

Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser.

Takes care of me when I get hurt.

And looks at me like I’m the only one.

Soon, I’m falling hard for my brother’s teammate.

Especially when Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules.

Every single one.

Review

4.5 “let’s break that roomie rule” stars!

The Boyfriend Goal is so much fun! It’s the first book in the Love and Hockey series and I am hooked! This entertaining forbidden, sports rom com is hilarious, sweet, heartwarming, and hot, and I couldn’t put it down!

Josie comes to San Francisco for a short term job. She has everything set and can’t wait to start. However, right from the start things don’t go as planned. First, she is locked out of her friend’s apartment wearing her “getting-ready” outfit, then after spending a smoking hot one-night stand with the guy who rescued her, even though she wants to, she can’t contact him because she doesn’t have his number or last name. Then, she loses the place she’s supposed to rent leaving her with nowhere to go. Thanks to her brother, he sets her up with a teammate who happens to be the guy she slept with. Now, she’s off limits and they have to figure out how to ignore their scorching connection.

Spoiler Alert – they can’t because these two light the pages on fire! I love their chemistry. They try so hard to be just roommates but as they spend more time together, they grow closer and form a wonderful friendship. I loved the role the list had in bringing these two together. They have so much fun together and I enjoyed watching Josie step out of her comfort zone. And Wes pushed her will being supportive and a true friend.

After their one-night stand both wanted to see the other again so when they are thrown together, there was no denying the fact that these two were going to get together. I love that there was very little drama when it came to wanting to be together. They did face a couple of challenges that they had to work through and I loved how things played out.

Overall, The Boyfriend Goal is a great start to a new series and I cannot wait for more. I loved the secondary characters and I am excited for the next book!

Excerpt

Josie: Nice turnaround.

I smile stupidly against the dark window, so no one can see how I look right now. The glass is cool, but I’m warm everywhere. I don’t want to talk about me with Josie. Not with my teammates around. And honestly, not that much in general. I want to talk about her.

Wesley: It was. But what are you up to? Also, it’s late. Go to bed.

Josie: That’s where I am.

Josie: Here’s your proof of bed.

She sends a picture of the lower half of the bed. Her legs are clearly under the covers. A paperback sits on the white cover. Zooming in, I read the title. Someone Else’s Ring.

Wesley: New book. Does this mean you finished the thriller? The Woman In The Hotel?

Josie: I did and the thrill was thrilling.

Wesley: How’s this one?

Josie: It reads like you f*&k.

Forget warm. I’m red hot under the collar of my dress shirt, remembering the words she wrote on hotel stationery more than a month ago. He f*&ked like a page turner that you didn’t want to put down.

Is it just me or is Josie getting…naughtier? Bolder? More brazen? Pretty sure it’s not just me – it’s her, turning up the heat.

I’m feeling the burn in the dark of the quiet jet, streaking across the sky. Here, it’s like no man’s land, free of consequences, devoid of risks. A place where we can flirt because of the miles between us. So I tap out a reply

Wesley: Bet I still “read” like that.

Josie: You’d keep me up all night?

Wesley: Like a page turner, Josie. Like a f*&king page turner.
