Discover another binge-worthy romance from New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation Elle Kennedy!

She's good at achieving her goals...

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated...

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

I liked the perspective of Sabrina and how her thought process was smart and anxious like a real person!

This is how you do the unplanned pregnancy trope! I thoroughly enjoyed the development of characters in this one and although some parts of it were uncomfortable to read/listen to, a gratifying resolution is included, thankfully. I'm so happy these two got a HEA and can't wait to find out what happens in the last book of the series.

Tucker is everyone's dream man. He's thoughtful, courteous, ripped, and driven. He's got plans and knows how to make them happen.
Sabrina is beautiful, hot, kinda bitchy, guarded, and also driven.
They hit a speed bump when she comes up pregnant. Actually, Sabrina hits the speed bump, Tuck just adjusts his dreams to include the love of his life (he definitely falls first and hard) and their new baby.
Its a great story.
Not super spicy but enough sexy scenes to keep it interesting.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrators are awesome. Duel narration, 2 narrators, 2 POVs, first person.

By far the worst book of the series. Don’t get me wrong I love Tucker and I love Sabrina. But I HATE what the writer did to their story. First of all they portray Sabrina in the first few chapters as this super dedicated, focused and determined woman. She’s strong, she doesn’t let anyone dictate her future and she fights for what she wants. Only to get pregnant by a guy - Tucker, who’s amazing - after seeing him for just a couple of months. And mind you, she gets pregnant after the first time they have sex, because it was unprotected but it was JUST THE TIP that was inside her. Nothing else. Not only is it unrealistic, I hate that she kept the baby lol. It has nothing to do with how they painted her in the beginning of the book. I will say, Tucker is truly great. I love the spicy scenes in this too.
