Meh. "Guy makes a bet that he can get the girl"... Predictable story, I was hoping for more depth from Jordie. Not the best book in this series.

Happy Sad
If it could be possible to be happy sad. That is what I am. I am happy to finally get Jordie’s story but sad this is the last book in this awesome hockey series. The Seattle Hawks are more than just a team, they are family. This is what I loved most about this series.
Jordie is a rookie on the team. Cocky and self-assured in his talents on and off the ice. His one challenge to get Harper to go on a date with him. How do you get a woman who has vowed not to date a hockey player to date one? This is the journey that kept me reading and once he got her. How does he keep her? The story was more than sigh worthy. It was swoon worthy with a bit of cringe worthy moments. I was her for all of it.
Although I’m sad to see this series end I am glad I was in for the whole thing.

I really liked this one. Jordie was sweet and so lost. Finding love and losing it is difficult and causes you to grow. Glad they did it together.
It's a bit bittersweet writing this review for the final book in the Hot Jocks series.
This is the story of the Ice Hawks rookie Jordie and the daughter of the head coach Harper.
Harper has grown up around the world of hockey. She has a very hard set of rules for herself about her interactions with hockey players. I had a bit of admiration for that. She tries hard to stick to her rules, even after she meets the winner of an auction that she was recruited to be a part of.
Jordie, the ultimate player. He has some unresolved issues that have made him the man he is. When he bids and wins a date with Harper, well he starts feeling things that he hasn't felt before. He wants more and the fight that Harper puts up just makes him want her more.
This was a lovely conclusion to the series. It was fun to see all the past characters make appearances and to be able to read what has been going on with them.
Such a fun, swoony and smexy series! Well done Ms. Ryan!

“You learn as much about who you are and what you’re made of from failing as you do from success.“
Never dating hockey players. This was Harper’s #1 rule, until she met Jordan ‘Jordie’ Prescott. He maybe young, he may be the Teams rookie, but when he sets his eyes on Harper, and the fact that she’s just not into it, it gives him the drive to pursue her.
She is not the easy type, not one of those girl whom fall for just sweets talks and good looks. She is fearless, independent and has just this rule when it comes to her love life. Her banter with Jordie from the day they meet is something that keeps going on through the book and one of the best parts.
Jordie is our good looking hockey player, but what we do not know at first is that, when we remove the playboy, hot player layers, we get one of the most honest and caring persons out there. He may start pursuing Harper out of fun, but we get to discover that by paying attention to the simplest of things he cares more about her than he lets on. Also, their chemistry is up the roof and the fact the Jordie does not accept a no for an answer give their relationship building that brewing fire that we know will end up consuming both of them.
Kendall finished this series in the best way possible and with a couple that easily became one of my favourites (sorry Justin

Can I just first say that I am so freaking sad that we are leaving this group? I have adored this series so much and the story of Jordie and Harper was the best icing on the cake to end the series. I loved the quick wit and banter of these two. How he pursues Harper to get her to agree to that date. But I adored the connection these two had the most. It was deep. Even if Harper wouldn’t admit it, they had this beautiful connection that ran so deep. Even when things implode for these two, they never stopped their feelings for each other.
As a whole, their romance was a stunning tale of getting to know one another and finding that love when you least expect it. I adored the build up. I loved the chemistry. It was an amazing story all round.

Taking His Shot is the 7th and final book in the Hot Jocks Series and it follows the story of Jordie and Harper. Harper has been burned by hockey players in the past and has made it her number one rule to never date a hockey player again. But, as the saying goes, rules are made to be broken. Harper’s father is in a bind and needs her help, and that is how Harper finds herself at a charity auction; the prize-one date with her….Team rookie Jordie is living the life and is on top of the world and when he ends up winning a date with Harper, his world is about to be turned upside down…..
Overall, I thought this book was a really cute read. I thought the story line was fun and entertaining. I loved the way that Jordie and Harper started out. Harper really knocked Jordie off of his game. Not only did he meet a woman that challenged him and actually said no to a date with him, but just being around Harper made his mind go to mush and the stupidest things would come out. Now, Jordie was in no way perfect and sometimes, I really wanted to knock some sense into him, but I loved his persistence and determination to win Harper over. And Harper…well, I loved how she didn’t make things easy for Jordie. She had her reservations about dating a hockey player and she stuck to her guns. That being said, at the end of the day the chemistry between Jordie and Harper was so burning hot that there was no way these two could stay away from one another. I really enjoyed watching their story unfold and looked forward to seeing how it would all come together in the end.
Taking His Shot was a fun and entertaining read. I devoured it easily in just a single setting. I had a great time getting to know Jordie and Harper. I thought their story was fun, filled with excellent chemistry and had just the right amount of drama added to it. As always, it was fun catching up with old friends and seeing how their stories intertwined with Jordie and Harper’s.
Taking His Shot was a terrific read from beginning to end. I’m sad that this is the last book in the Hot Jocks Series, but at the same time, I’m excited to see what this author has in store for us readers next.
