Another fantastic read in this series. I enjoyed seeing Tucker being his nurturing self and I loved how protective he is of Sabrina and their kid. I can't decide whether I like Garrett or Tucker more. But I can say the first book is still my favorite so far. I also loved seeing Sabrina and Dean make amends. I've already started the last book, but I'm excited to continue it and finish up this series.

“Because love is the ultimate goal. It’s not the one I had strived for, but I was lucky enough, so damn lucky, to achieve it.”
- The Goal

Tropes: Sports (Hockey), College, One-Night Stand, Surprise Pregnancy, Slow Burn
Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶🌶
CW: Pregnancy, Death, Grief, Sexual Harassment

The Goal was the slowest burn of the series, which I really loved. It was well paced and allowed for some amazing character development. It also gave a different perspective on the events from The Score, which was interesting to read.
Sabrina was independent and stubborn which contrasted against Tucker’s easygoing and friendly manner well. I loved how much of a gentleman cinnamon roll Tucker was while also being surprisingly dirty.
Surprise pregnancy gets a bad rap, but The Goal handled the trope so well. So if you’re looking for a book to change your mind on the trope, this one might just be it.

I had originally DNF’d this book twice before which was honestly so sad since I loved the three books in the series prior to this. Once I finally sat down and made myself read it, I was a lot more open to it. It definitely helped going into this knowing it was an accidental pregnancy trope otherwise I would have HATED this book.

ALSO MY SOULD WAS RIPPED OUT BECAUSE I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT BEAU DIED

I found Sabrina to be a little annoying at times with her unwillingness to try a relationship. Tucker is amazing. I also wish some of the antagonists would be put in their place. I would like to have some of the plot lines to be expanded on.

Great message and lovely book overall.
