Briar comes back to her apartment after being away on business for a week to finding her stuff put in garage bags and kicked out by her boyfriend. Her boyfriend dumps her and says he found someone else while she was away and is getting ready to move her in. Plus he keeps Briar’s cat. Her ex leaves to pick up his new girlfriend and Briar comes up with a plan to get her cat back by trying to jump/climb to the balcony. While she is attempting to do so Reese, Gavin and Hollis are walking by and decide to help because they know her from doing yoga for their hockey team.

Briar goes on a week long vacation to this fair, where she has a booth doing yoga. She gets a cottage vacation rental. She then finds out she is double booked with the three hockey studs. Hollis finds out that she hasn’t had an O with someone before. Plus Briar’s ex posts about a competition, what makes a great boyfriend? Briar and the three hockey players make a deal for one week only to help her out with the O problem and show her what a great boyfriend should do for his girlfriend. The three guys are perfection.

When Bria’s boyfriend comes back into town to break up with her and has the audacity to try to keep her cat, three players from the rival hockey team work with her to break in and get her pet back. And as she heads to a festival, coincidentally enough her Airbnb just so happens to get double booked with the three said guys. Through revenge on her ex, she joins a contest to come up with the best boyfriend, which the guys are more than happy to help her with. As well as having her first org@sm with a partner.

Rating: 2.5/5
Spice: 4/5
Narration: 3.5/5

Tropes:
Why Choose
Hockey Romance
S3xual Awakening

Triggers:
Infidelity (not MCs)

My thoughts:
This book started on such a high note with some laugh out loud moments as the FMC works to rescue her cat. Unfortunately, after that point in the book the pacing slows down considerably and the plot gets convoluted with too many tropes – why choose, sports, she needs an org@sm, recent breakup, cinnamon roll hockey players, revenge plot against boyfriend, etc. I would have loved to see the author take that humor and write something fresh in this genre.

The audiobook narrated by Samantha Brentmoore, Jason Clarke, Connor Crais and Teddy Hamilton, is amazing!
I laughed so many times.
This Full cast narration is pure joy 😍

Thank you Lauren for writing the best lovable characters (for each book).
The banter between the guys is perfect.
I will never hear “May I?” In the same way. Ever.
It’s a sweet hockey romance.

Trope:
- RH (FMMM)
- found family
- they fall first
- independent FMC
- cat rescue ❤️

I was really surprised and I had a blast while listening to the bonus audio with all the cast laughing 😂
