A British Boyfriend NHL Player
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️ You know, I read this on a whim when I saw that our hero Jack would be British, playing pro in the NHL. As it turns out, why did I suddenly forget he was British while reading this, and it was only when he reminded us that I went, oh yeah he is. As for Kendra, I just felt unsatisfied with her, I love Jack and I saw how much he loved her, but I felt Kendra didn’t give him the same love that he projected for her. The chemistry felt really one-sided on Jack’s part and I felt that, despite all the spice, he gave more than he took. How can this girl really say she was upset over bro group chats from college when they barely spoke at all, yet she remained faithful to her obviously cheating ex-boyfriend who was seen with other girls during their four years together? Girlie forgot her pride and she also has a lot of anxiety to work through. We also never get to see or hear her play, unlike Jack, and we barely catch a glimpse of it during her practices, so how can you convince me she was the best or that she deserved all these promotions? I wasn’t convinced about her talent at all, and I’ve read many sports romances where the female heroines absolutely dominate in their sport. All in all, what I am convinced of is that most of the people rating this five stars did it for Jack, the multiple spice scenes, and the abundance of romance tropes: mature hockey romance, friends to lovers, forced proximity, fake dating, he falls first and harder, hockey player x soccer player, third act conflict/breakup, misunderstanding/ miscommunication, the aggressive ex boyfriend, and unrequited love. After reading this, I’m not inclined to read the series before this one. I’ll try again in the next book, it seems to be more interesting with Sawyer and Collins.
