Until I Get You by Claire Contreras is a hockey second chance romance. The book is broken up into two parts, part one takes place in college and part two takes place three years later. The story is a little dark at times and has trigger warnings. I really loved the description of this book and I was pretty sucked in from the start of the book. I love when a player falls first and falls hard. It doesn't hurt when Lachlan becomes a little obsessed and even a little stalkerish at times. Layla has a pretty heart-breaking story but I loved how hard Lachlan falls for Layla and how he doesn't give up on her.
Tropes:
*Hockey Romance*
*College Romance*
*Obsessed/Possessive Hero*
*Boy Falls First*
*Second Chance*
*Trigger Warnings*
Favorite Excerpts:
“She’s off the table,” I said, forcing myself to turn around.
“Aw, come on, Lach. Can’t you be satisfied with the thousands of women who want a piece of you and let me have this one?” Nash asked.
“Why is she off the table?” That was Mason, who was sitting on the other side of the table and had no business in this conversation.
I leveled him with a stare. “Because I said so.”
“That’s fucking bullshit,” Drew said.
“Marissa is more your style, Drew, trust me.” I turned to Nash. “Lyla is off the table unless you want to lose your fingers. I’m not fucking around.”
_____________
“You’re having sex with my friend.” She turned her attention to the marina again.
“I’m not.”
“Oh.” Her gaze flashed to mine, a small frown between her eyes.
“Now that we cleared that up, are you down for some porn sex?”
“Still no.”
“Is it because of that guy you’re dating?”
“Lachlan Duke,” she said, keeping her face forward, but I could hear the smile in her voice. “Are you stalking me?”
Was she smiling at the thought of me stalking her? She had no fucking idea how much stalking I’d already done and would continue to do. Was she smiling because she was thinking about him? I didn’t like that option.
“Would you like it if I was?”
She peered up at me and searched my eyes. “No.”
