Synopsis:
Can a spirited, down-to-earth influencer get an uptight hockey player out of his shell?
Josh
I am a warrior. That’s been my motto since I recovered from a near-death accident when I was younger. Now I enjoy my nice, settled life in Dallas playing pro hockey—a boring life is better than being dead. I’m not a party guy or an adventurer; I like my routine and peace and quiet. So being traded to New York is the worst possible change that could happen. And meeting unfiltered and fascinating Sara Carrington throws my life into even more chaos.
Sara
I’ve been considered weird my whole life, which is why I’m still a virgin, but I’ve turned it into a career with my YouTube videos. Who knew people would love watching me talk about my zits, taste test meatless burgers, and try to learn TikTok dances! Now I’m launching a podcast. Getting hockey star Josh Heller as a guest will help gain listeners for sure. I expect a bearded jock with no teeth and nothing to say, but I get a hot as H-E-double-hockey-sticks grouch with a surprisingly dirty mind. My mission to make him laugh is successful, but I want to know why he’s so uptight underneath that panty-dropping smile. Maybe I can teach Josh to have some fun . . . and maybe he can teach me a thing or two along the way. . . .
I loved You Had Me at Hockey. The entire thing was adorable. Sara was this funny, impulsive, down to Earth chick that made me laugh so hard. She brought out the best in Josh. Josh (of the Heller family for those who have read that series) was this slightly grumpy, uptight hockey player. He lived by his plans and it was fun to see him unravel with Sara by his side. These two had serious chemistry and their banter was hilarious. They played so well off each other. I also liked the realities the two faced pertaining to their pasts. It was easy to identify with both of them.
You Had Me at Hockey was truly a great, heartfelt romance. Most of all, it made me laugh and smile. It’s going down as one of my favorite sports romances from Kelly Jamieson. I want more like it.
Sara was funny, and I liked the idea of wanting someone to love you just as you are. I did want more emotion when Josh and Easton were reunited, but I still really liked this book. The series has been solid so far
I agree. I can’t wait for the next book!

Thanks, Corina! I’ll try to get up a post soon. That’s sweet of you! 🙂
You’re welcome 😊
Five stars! You Had Me at Five Stars!! And here I was trying so hard not to add anything more to my TBR. Great review 🙂
Thanks! Yes, I love this series. It’s just so cute and fun!
This sounds so incredibly cute!! Added it to the TBR.
Yay! I think you would like it. It might still be on NetGalley,
There is something about a hockey romance which always catches my attention and I don’t even know anything about hockey! This sounds like a good one which I’ll quickly get caught up in so this is going straight on the TBR.
Same! I hope you like it!
Well this definitely sounds like one I need to read. I’ve been meaning to try Kelly Jamieson for ages and this is just a further nudge in that direction. I love the sound of Sara and Josh. And I love a good grumpy hero. 🙂
I think you would probably like this series and her Aces hockey ones.
