Story
What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate...no matter how hard that makes things.

Story
College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can’t say no. The dare: Seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class. Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties...and in Greek Row sorority beds. Mr. Popular throws me for a loop and does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy.

Story
Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Story
College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di-Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.

Publisher's Summary
A sexy stand-alone novel from New York Times and international best-selling author Elle Kennedy.
Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right - I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team.
And that’s who Jake Connelly is. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruel - I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn’t making it easy for me.
I need Connelly to be my fake boyfriend.
For every fake date…he wants a real one.
Which means this bad girl is in big trouble. Nothing good can come from sneaking around with Jake Connelly. My father would kill me, my friends will revolt, and my post-college career is on the line. But while it’s getting harder and harder to resist Jake’s oozing sex appeal and cocky grin, I refuse to fall for him.
That’s the one risk I’m not willing to take.

The Risk
Brenna & Jake I totally loved that she was the coach’s daughter from a rival school. It really made for great listening. The chemistry Jake and Brenna have, and that you know what some things are worth the risk. You can’t always protect yourself from yourself. I love that this is kind of centered around hockey but not at the same time. It more about the people than the sport or even the universities. I can’t wait to dive into the next book if it is anything like the last two I know I will enjoy it. The narration was awesome, then again its Teddy and he could narrate the phonebook and I would be in heaven.

Not for me
I usually love Elle Kennedy and her Brian U books are some of my all time favorites, but not this time. I found Brenna to be completely unlikeable. I didn't like the way she treated the people around her, or the way some of them treated her. The kicker for me was when she went to visit her cousin and had some time to kill alone in a quiet dorm room. She is supposed to be at a prestigious university and presumably has some actual work to do. Homework maybe? Instead Brenna chose to spend several hours scrolling through Tinder, just so guys could tell her how hot she is, even though she had no interest in meeting anyone. Her internal dialog was more about her hair, clothes and general hotness than any real substance. Even the heavenly voice of Teddy Hamilton couldn't save this one for me. Sorry. Done. Returning.

Adorable
I absolutely loved this story. It may have taken a while for this couple to get together but when they finally did.. their chemistry was palpable. Their banter was cute, she was sassy, he was simply adorable. Let’s not forget the sexy voice of Teddy Hamilton and sweet Ms. Virginia Rose, they did an amazing job.

Another winner
After listening to the first book in this series I knew that I wanted more of these characters. And this second book definitely hits the mark. It’s not so much an enemies to lovers storyline as it is rivals to lovers. As always, Teddy Hamilton does a wonderful job with the narration and I’m always a fan of Virginia Rose.

The chemistry!
I LOVED Brenna and Jake's flirty banter so much!! I LOVED their blunt honesty every time they couldn't help themselves and told each other that they were hot. They both knew it and that confidence carried over to the reader. I could feel it and that honesty was so freaking attractive to me. I LOVED that Jake was so touchy-feely all the time. I LOVE Jake and omg I think I LOVE Brenna, the female main character even more than the male one, which basically never ever happens. They are officially my new favorite couple out of all the Elle Kennedy's books (that I've read), trumping Hannah and Garrett from The Deal. Why I couldn't give the full 5 stars: The ending was a huge let down to me. I wanted a cute or flirty banter scene with the main couple. This one felt rushed - they made up and that was their last scene together. It left me so disappointed like, "that's it?". Their relationship reminded me somewhat of Connor and Rose's in Kiss the Sky, but all the drama at the end made me somehow forget their banter at the beginning which made the book so good. The narration was great! The best yet but I'm only a newbie and listened to 3 audiobooks so far, so I don't have that many narrators to compare Teddy Hamilton and Virginia Rose to. Still, they were really good and I will listen to more works of them in the future!

Great new adult sports romance
This is the first book I have read by Elle Kennedy although I have loved her collaborations with Sarina Bowen, a favorite author of mine. I listened to the audiobook through audible escape because of Teddy Hamilton and I was happy I did. I admit that I wish I read in order because there were characters mentioned that I felt had a backstory to and I wasn’t aware of them. And I was a bit confused sometimes since the story went back and forth between last names and first names. Beyond that, I loved the interaction between Breanna and Jake. There was an enemies vibe but a friendly kind of vibe because their schools were competing for the school championship. I really enjoyed that, although these were young adults in college, it didn’t feel like they were insanely immature- I have read a few recently that really have the college kids behave immaturely. The narration is totally on point. Of course I love Teddy Hamilton. Virginia Rose was also great and I enjoyed the experience they imparted as narrators of this book.
