For all the hoopla and hype, this is just an average story that emphasized certain points ad nauseam while excessively glossing over others. The MCs were enjoyable but their relationship growth was uneven. The tenor of most relationships and encounters here was rather sexist.

P.S.
WHO even calls women “chicks” anymore? Seriously considering dropping the review down to 2 stars for that grievous sin.
You know what? 2 stars it is. ( )

Oh man, I DEVOURED this book. To say it was good was an understatement, when an author knows how to captivate a reader with quirky comments, spicy scenes, and overall great writing. It really just makes my heart happy. I read 5-10 books a week and when I tell you I read this book in just a few hours, I wish I took more time to read it. It was so fun and had me smiling the whole time.

I probably should have read her other series first, but I'm sold on Elle as an author after this book and I'm immediatly going back and reading the rest of her books! ( )

I loved this book! Garrett Graham was a stand-out character for me in the Off-Campus series so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a book featuring his daughter, Gigi. While this book kicks off the new Campus Diaries series, I had a lot of fun seeing my favorite characters from the Off-Campus series make an appearance in this book. This book would work well as a stand-alone but I think that readers of the other books set in this world may get just a bit more out of the novel.

Gigi and Ryder were fantastic together and I loved the fact that they had hockey in common. Gigi and Ryder were both excellent in the sport and understood each other’s dedication and were able to help one another. I thought that they had wonderful chemistry together and there was enough spice to keep things very interesting. I loved the humor that was worked into the story and found myself laughing out loud more than once while listening to this story which rarely happens.

CJ Bloom and Teddy Hamilton did an amazing job of bringing this story to life. I thought that both of the narrators were able to add just the right amount of emotion to their reading to take the book to the next level. The humor of the story really shined during the performance which added a lot to the experience for me. I loved every moment of this audiobook and found it very hard to set aside. I am certain that the narration added to my overall enjoyment of this delightful novel.

I would highly recommend this book to others. I have realized that I have a soft spot for hockey romances and the humor in this story took my enjoyment to the next level. I cannot wait to read more of this entertaining series! ( )
