My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lauren Blakely lights the lamps with THE BOYFRIEND GOAL (Love and Hockey #1). In this story, Josie Winters moves to San Francisco to start a temporarily three-month job as a librarian and to be closer to her brother, Christian, the captain of the Seadogs NHL team. Upon her arrival, she has a series of mishaps and is rescued by a gorgeous man named Wes. They have a one-night stand. She could not stop thinking about him but never got his last name. When her housing falls through she goes to her brother for help. One of his teammates has a spare room and offered her to live with him. What she was not expecting was her new roommate to be Wesley (Wes) Bryant, her one-night stand.
I loved this story. Lauren Blakely does an amazing job with this novel. Wes and Josie have fantastic chemistry. Wes is a good guy. He opens to Josie about having dyslexia. Josie is working at a library financed by a grant to update the branch’s digital initiative.
Josie has a bucket list that was given to her by her deceased Aunt Greta. Wes offers to do it with her. There are some interesting things on the list that help Josie (and Wes) grow. The couple face compelling situations and obstacles.
THE BOYFRIEND GOAL is an excellent foundation for the Love and Hockey series. I am looking forward to Max and Everly’s story, THE ROMANCE LINE. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
