SHUTOUT, the second installment in Avery Keelan's hockey series, Rules of the Game, delivers a scorching hot romance that will leave readers breathless. With an enticing blend of the brother's best friend and roommate trope, Tyler and Seraphina's story takes off with an unforgettable one-night stand that evolves into something much deeper.
From the moment Tyler and Sera reconnect, the chemistry between them crackles with intensity. Keelan has a real talent for crafting natural interactions that make the connection between the characters feel genuine and effortless. Their banter and electric exchanges create a tension that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The steamy scenes are expertly written and leave you fanning yourself, as Tyler and Sera's desire for each other jumps off the pages. The author excels at delivering top-tier heat that will leave readers fully satisfied (and the FMCs for that matter).
While the romance and passion are undeniably captivating, there were moments when it felt like certain conflicts were wrapped up a little too quickly. Given the depth of the characters and the intricate dynamics at play (i.e.: friendships tested and lost, medical diagnosis, teammate drama) an additional 50 pages would have allowed for more in-depth resolutions. Nevertheless, the overall story remains engaging and enjoyable.
SHUTOUT beautifully showcases Keelan's ability to create multifaceted characters that you can't help but root for. Tyler's reformed player background, although not explored extensively, adds an intriguing layer to his character. Sera's arrival as Tyler's new housemate, and the sister of his teammate, Chase from book one, sets the stage for a captivating dynamic filled with both passion and complications.
With its steamy romance and a touch of forbidden love, SHUTOUT delivers on its promise of an enticing hockey romance. Avery Keelan's writing keeps you engaged and invested in the characters' journey, leaving you eager for more. While a slightly more in-depth resolution would have been ideal, the book still satisfies with its sizzling chemistry and a story that will keep you turning the pages.

it was a good read. some parts where boring, but had a few things that were never explained.
It is pretty refreshing to have a female main character represent the actual struggles people with ADHD have. It was nice to feel seen in a cute little lovey novel.
This book was an ooey gooey love fest. Minimal drama. No third act breakup. With delicious spice. This book did seem shorter than the first. But I don't think it worked in its favor.
The characters were cute. Our FMC is an ADHD fueled flirt. And our MMC is a broody quiet, keep to himself, goalie. Character development was mild and quick. But I still loved the characters.
All the plot points were interesting and entertaining. But the book keeps things very surface level. Nothing really dove super deep or was fleshed out a ton. Very reminiscent of a hallmark movie. But, that being said, I still enjoyed it and devoured the book.
The spice was excellent though. Really
