If you are looking for a good rom-com/sports romance, then you should read this book. I loved the description of this book. Brother's best friend in love with the girl, they have a one night stand, she ends of pregnant, brother is pissed. I loved how awkward Penny was around Eli in the beginning. I loved how attracted Eli was to Penny, even when she rambled and said crazy things. They were so perfect for each other and it kept me completely invested in their story and them getting a happy ending. This is definitely a slow burn, it felt like it really took Eli and Penny forever to find their happy ending but I was so glad when they did! I really enjoyed this book, 4 stars!
Favorite Excerpt:
I was entranced. I was hooked. I was stolen for the rest of the night. My mind wanted one thing. Her.
She had my attention, and no one would steal me away.
No one would stop me.
Because in all honesty, I’ve had my eye on her for a while, ever since I met her two years before.
And that night . . . it was my chance. All excuses, all restrictions, they were tossed to the curb as I laid down the best tool at my disposal to get her to talk to me: it was my birthday.
And fuck, did we have a night. I can still remember the way her dress slid off her body as I held her in my arms. I can still vividly recollect that her lips tasted of lime and danger. And I can still smell her intoxicating perfume floating around me as I drove into her, one pulse after the other until we both came at the same time. Multiple times.
It was one of the best nights of my entire life.
But it had to end because we agreed it would be a one-night thing. So that morning, she slipped away undetected, and we both went back to our daily routine. Eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.
Was it the best birthday present I could ask for?
Absolutely.
★★★★☆
