Western Wildcats Hockey Book 1 read in 2024
Ryder McAdams is one of the Hockey teams star players he is hopeful to sign with a NHL team after college but while he's in college he doesn't see why he can't play the field being on the hockey team is huge and it doesn't hurt that they have their own groupies (Puck Bunnies). What he has kept to himself though is the fact that he has a crush on his best friends sister Juliette but knows that he needs to keep his distance because she is off limits to him.
Juliette is also focused... on school but she has been a bit of the opposite she hasn't been living her best college life which becomes apparent when she finds a "bucket list" of sorts that she made around freshman year of the things she wanted to accomplish while in college... some of these things are on the spicy side and now that she's going to be graduating soon she sees that she has checked off nothing from her list she was so focused on school that she forgot the socialization and the fun side of things.
Juliette thinks that Ryder doesn't see her as anything more than his friends sister but that's because he's been good at pushing her away, that is until he takes her home one night (on the one night she decides to let loose at a hockey party) he keeps her safe and make sure she gets home ok after drinking a bit too much... unfortunately for Juliette he also finds out about this bucket list and as a surprise to her he wants to help her check off the items on the list... all of them he isn't letting anyone else help her with this list!
Some drama thrown in since they end up in a "secret" situationship and the brother doesn't know, also Ryder is having some issues getting along with his new hockey coach the coach is just trying to prepare him for the next step because he knows that the NHL will be a lot tougher on him in every way.
I thought the book was ok and I went on to read more of the series (I can't remember if I have finished the series or not at this point).
some negatives for the book:
- some awkward/cringeworthy writing during spicy times (her "honey" 😬)
- Juliette and Ryder are both supposed to be close to her brother Maverick but he isn't in the story much
- When the brother did come into the book he was a bit too over protective over his sisters love life... she's a grown woman who can make her own choices, or at least she should be able to
- some misogynistic type vibes in the book at times
- repetitive words/phrases throughout the book
- The characters are very horny all the time and get turned on very quickly, I don't mind spice in a book but sometimes find myself skipping those scenes if it becomes too much
