Changed by Elise Faber

4 Stars

Maddy is trying to make up for her past mistakes and Lucas just doesn’t believe she’s going to stay clean and not break her brother’s heart. He’s going to make sure she’s being truthful and staying clean. Will he ever believe she’s trying to make up for her past errors?

Maddy and Lucas getting their HEA. They have trauma they’re working through that has to deal with addiction. Lucas is an asshole through most of this book. Once he gets his head out of his ass, I was happy to see him getting his HEA. My biggest issue was the last chapter (NO SPOILERS) where I may have screamed when I read it and immediately went to see when it comes out to see when a resolution happens. Definitely happy with this one.

Wet by Cambria Hebert

4 Stars

Rory is determined to prove an elite swimmer attempted to sexually assault her. What she doesn’t plan on is being thrown into a pool when she can’t swim. Another swimmer elite saves her. Ryan is enthralled with her from the moment they meet. She’s not sure if he will believe her since no one else has but he does. He also wants to help her prove what his teammate has been up too. He will do anything to keep her safe and help her get her story out. Will she be able to get her story out and convince her she’s everything to him?

I enjoyed this book a lot. Rory is so strong. She has so much thrown at her, and she just keeps moving. She wants to prove the guy was a bad guy and was willing to do just about anything to get the proof. It is an insta-love story, and it amused me. I loved most of the swim team and I want to see those I liked them getting to their HEA. It was a really fast read and was a good college romance.

Wylde by Sawyer Bennett

 

3 Star

Wylde is one of the newest member of the Arizona Vengeance team. He thrives on the attention he gets from fans and Puck bunnies. When he stops into a bookstore because of the gorgeous redhead behind the counter he is surprised how not into him Clarke is. He is determined to woo her. When he finds out her story and why she's not interested in the spotlight will he be able to win her over?

I have been reading a lot of hockey books lately and this one just didn’t hit the mark as well as some of the other ones. I liked the writing and a lot of the secondary characters, but Clarke just missed for me. She was a downer about everything and didn't want to do anything that might put her in the spotlight. On the flipside Wylde was the opposite. He was super up and chipper all the time. They just felt too different to me. Will try other books by this author since I did like her style.

My Lucky #13 by Piper Rayne

 

4 Star

Hockey players are incredibly superstitious. Aiden has never been. He wears number 13 jersey because it's just a number. He's been in a slump for awhile that breaks after he got a glass of white wine thrown at him at a New Year's Eve party. He begs Saige to continue this routine to help the Florida Fury win. The more time they spend together, the more they want to be more for each other. What will happen when she becomes a liability?

She forgave him too quickly. That was my first thought when I finished the story. I love a good hockey story. This one hit all the marks of a good one. I liked Aiden and Saige. It was an interesting premise. Overall, it was a cute hockey book.
