Oh, I just love The Graham Effect. It is truly Elle Kennedy’s best work. The first time I read it, I hadn’t read any other Elle Kennedy book so coming back for a re-read now that I know Hannah and Garrett was truly delightful.

Gigi is a ray of sunlight on a gloomy day. She is kind, hard-working and knows herself so well. She is everything I hope my future daughter will be.

I would love to wrap Ryder in cotton wool. Witnessing his journey from closed off recluse to a committed and loving partner was so beautiful. His heart is so full of love and it’s wonderful to see him share it, not just with Gigi, but with his teammates. 

My heart yearns for more intel on the rest of Hannah and Garrett’s friends and their families, but the glimpses I did get were gorgeous.

Now to The Dixon Rule!

This is my first hockey romance book, and I now see what all the hype is about. I love the characters so much, the author has really set herself up to be able to write a ton of books with this group. Even characters that were “the bad guys” in the beginning are able to show us they are good people. I just love all the bromance. GiGi and Ryder are just delicious together, I think enemies to lovers may be my favorite trope.
