I am SO happy I decided to continue this series. This book was better than the first. I absolutely loved it. I was laughing, crying, screaming, and crying even more. Praying Reid’s story is next
Avery Keelan is a new-to-me author and WOW I am obsessed! I love a good sports romance (hockey, MMA, football, etc). I found the Rules of the Game series through some other booksta peeps and it did not disappoint!
Her character development, spice, and dialogue are all top tier. I love how she always works in the text conversations.

I didn’t love offside but wanted to give this one a chance! It’s a brother’s teammate and friends with benefits romance set in college. I might be nudging out of the NA romances but I just didn’t feel like much happened. Seraphina (chase’s sister from book 1) moves in with the hockey guys while her mom battles breast cancer. She is also dealing with the potential of having th BRCA 1 gene.
Tyler is a goalie that is destined for the NHL and doesn’t have time for relationships. He recognizes Sera (Tink) from when they hooked up at a party where things were kept anonymous. They start to become friends, then friends with benefits to more.
I just didn’t feel like much happened. Sera had a bad friend and this friend’s brother kept hitting on her. She had to deal with school, her mom, and her own health.
I don’t know if my opinion will change with time, but the writing was good and the author made this one shorter than offside (thankfully).

Second of a hockey romance series. I liked this one better than the first. It is about half the size, moved faster, and was a simpler plot. This is a best friends sister / one night stand trope romance. It’s cute and ties into the first book in a natural way. Recommend! Smut 3/5

After I had read the first book "Offside" from the series, I wasn't sure how I much I would like "Shutout". Wasn't too thrilled on the first. But, "Shutout" ended up surprising me in a good way.
Necesito encontrar un libro de por lo menos 4 estrellas desesperadamente AHHH
Creo que Avery Keelan no es para mí, este libro no es que lo haya odiado (como lo hice con The Enforcer) o lo haya abandonado (The Offside) pero me aburrió un poco y sentí que estaba incompleto de alguna forma ¿la autora recortó escenas? no lo sé, tal vez sea cosa mía, me hubiera gustado que se desarrollara más su relación fuera de puro sexo (al final ya me andaba saltando esas escenas) y todo lo qué pasó al final ¿cómo lidiaron con ESO en sus vidas? ¿Y la reacción de Chase? ¿Le metieron a Rob una denuncia por meterse con una niña de 16 años cuando él tenía 23?

I loved it! It was adorable and cute and exactly what I’d want from a college romance. Tyler is so sweet and I love a no break up book!
