Elle Kennedy proves once again that she is the Queen of writing college hockey romances because if I thought I loved ‘The Deal’ then I was not ready to how much I was gonna love ‘The Graham Effect’.

I absolutely loved Ryder and Gigi together. And when he calls her ‘my wife’ I just about died. I don’t make the rules but this book will make you blush. The banter is superior, I was laughing throughout most of the book, either between Ryder or Gigi or just Ryder with anyone really. There is such good development character and I am so happy to see cameo from other favourite couples from Elle Kennedy’s series.

This is by no means a slow burn which means we get to see the main characters get together quite early on. While I am all for the buildup, it means we get to see them together for longer so that is a plus. My heart absolutely broke for Ryder’s back story so now I think ‘found family’ is slowly becoming my favourite trope.

Overall a fun, fast paced, banter 10/10, spicy hockey rom com must-read if you love Elle Kennedy’s books.

Tropes:
-grumpy x sunshine
-found family
-forced proximity 
-sports romance
-2.5 🌶️

If you enjoy these tropes, be sure to check out the book! I am so happy that Elle decided to do a ‘next generation’ series and can’t wait for ‘The Dixon rule’ coming out 14/05!

This book is almost one of my faves but i can't remember much because i read this 2023.
The only thing i remember is that Ryder's dad shot his mom when he was 6, Ryder might have been in the room i might be talking about another book, i dont remember. I remember the trauma only.
