So I do love me some hockey romances and usually not matter what the trope is I will read them because you know we love hockey. Second chance romance although not my favourite this author did it extremely well. Glory's story was sad and heartbreaking the fact she was struggling with addiction just to numb the pain. I love that Kace stood by her when he get a second chance. You can feel how much they want to be with each other and can't walk away. I really enjoyed this book, it was a good read!

A delightful surprise
I started the series with this book. I am going to have to backtrack and catch up on the others. Glory and Kace...My heart. Their story is tragic and magical. What the two of them have to work through to make it to the other side is inspiring. I loved seeing the path they took. This book was a delightful surprise.

Bad Man on Campus, the third book in the Big Men on Campus series by Stephanie Queen is a second chance romance you don’t want to miss. Kace and Glory were high school sweethearts before a tragic event made them lose touch. Years later, they meet back up in college and let the emotional rollercoaster begin. Trust me you will feel every emotion and your heart will break for these two. I’m not a huge new adult/college romance reader, but this story left an impression on me.

This book sucked me in from the beginning. The storyline was absolutely amazing. Heartbreaking tragedy that rips at your heart from the start. Your emotions start with some definite feelers. As they get back together, there are just so many little issues to work through that threaten to tear them apart. I did have to wonder how a grown man couldn't stand up to his family for the love of his life. Could the love of his life remain the love of his life? Tears of sadness, joy and feelings of anger for Mad. The characters were very well written. I will need to find more on Dooley as he actually turned into my favorite because he turned into a side character that played an integral role. The ending surprised me. I thought it would turn out different but I am glad that they both seemed to mature from that situation. Definitely a must read.

Bad Man on Campus (Big Men on Campus Book 3) by Stephanie Queen
4 out of 5
Kace Jennings is headed to the NHL, is president at the BMOC house, and is on his way to graduating with a degree. It has been three years since he was home, but his father’s wedding brought him back to his hometown and the place his life changed forever. He knows he should go see her but he can’t bring himself to do it. When she shows up, will he have the courage to tell her how much he has missed her?
Glory Rose’s life stopped 3 years ago. The accident changed everything. She is back on track and is trying to move forward. Glory heard that Kace was going to be in town. Glory decides to take this opportunity to...she isn’t sure. Is she going to tell him off? Can she tell him that she misses him? She has to let him know that she will be on campus with him starting in the fall. Glory owes him that much.
Kace looks forward to having Glory on campus away with him, away from the judgments of everyone that knows what happened. When Glory makes a bad choice, Kace covers for her. Kace’s world starts shifting as he appears as the bad guy. Is this what Glory felt? How do they move forward? Can they do it together?
Stephanie Queen brings this story of redemption and second chances to life with every word. You feel Kace’s struggle with his emotions and choices. You forgive Glory for choices outside of her control. You hear the screams and the metal crunching during the last crash. Stephanie draws you into their world quickly and easily. The characters are relatable and real. Stephanie is definitely on my list for future reads!!

Confronting and real
This is a second chance romance novel and the third in a series. It does not run along the same lines as other second chance novels I have read. It has a raw edge to it as Glory faces the demons of her past and Kace tries to stand by her side. The author has interwoven a very confronting issue throughout the story extremely well and I was vested from start to finish. A brilliant addition to the series.

This is not my first book by this author but it is certainly one of my favorites by her. I enjoyed being pulled in from the beginning. This author’s use of attention to details made the story feel realistic. The characters are connectable and bring the story to life. I enjoyed this romance story about these highschool sweethearts. Who knew that one night and one crash could change fate for both of these characters. What will fate have in store for these two? I enjoyed watching their growth and their chemistry together. They truly made the story fun and entertaining to read for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Bad Man on Campus is the third book in the Big Men on Campus series by Stephanie Queen. Even though I have read a lot of Ms. Queen’s books now, this is the first book in this series that I have read, so I am coming into this series a bit backwards by starting here with book #3. Having said that though, this could definitely be read as a standalone- but my interest is piqued now and I will definitely be going back to read the other two books to discover what happened there and to see if there are any interconnected details that might follow through to this book.
As expected from Ms. Queen- this is a well woven story, with interesting, complex, and fully developed characters who pull you into their story right from the beginning. It is a second chance sports romance, with plenty of emotion, heart-wrenching details of tragedy + grief, baggage, struggles, drama, romance, steam, chemistry, hockey, and more.
Glory and Kace have a past history of being high school sweethearts- until tragedy struck. Fate has intervened by giving them a second chance- but Ms. Queen isn’t going to make things too easy for them. Get set for an angsty and emotional read about overcoming tragedy and taking a chance on love, again.
Thank you, Stephanie Queen!

Bad Man On Campus is the 3rd book in the Big Men On Campus series by Stephanie Queen. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone. I had not read the previous two books in this series and did not feel as if I was missing any vital information to help me m enjoy this book. I have read this author’s work before and thoroughly enjoyed the Playing Series so was looking forward to reading more of her work. This book was a great choice as I really enjoyed it. I do like reading a book set in college/university and this is a great example of that.
This is a great second chance romance that got my emotions going. Glory has been through a very hard few years having lost her best friend in a car crash and she’s still struggling. She’s now about to start college where her ex boyfriend, Kace, the brother of her best friend also attends.
As much as my heart broke so much for Glory many times, she also exasperated me. I wanted to shake some sense into her and make her realise the damage she was doing to herself and how this was affecting Kace. I adored Kace and loved how he would do anything for Glory and was willing to risk all to keep her safe.
This is a great book and I’d definitely recommend it to other readers.

Bad Man on Campus: a Second Chance College Romance (Big Men on Campus Book 3) by Stephanie Queen is a new adult second chance romance. BUT it is not a happy tale. It is one story that will definitely make your heartache. I really like Stephanie’s work, the characters. I so wanted karma to get the male MC and kick his behind and then some and then I wanted to shake the female MC. But I still enjoyed it.
