This was amazing! I was so enthralled by Carter! He is the perfect book boyfriend!
His actions and thoughts actually carried the overall story! There were times that I just couldn’t wait for his POV to come up.
Olivia, to me, seemed like a sidekick to the story. Which is crazy to say about our actual h. It’s just that, after awhile I really didn’t care about her thoughts unless it had to do with Carter.
That’s the main reason it didn’t get a full 5 star from me, but will definitely be in my favourites.
Loved the drama and I was on point on most of the foreshadowing! 😜
But overall loved it & will reread again!

"She’s like…waking up on Christmas morning when you’re three years old and you finally understand what it’s all about. She’s the moment the rain stops and the sun comes out, lighting up the sky with color, and everything smells new and fresh. She’s the first skate on a frozen lake, surrounded by snowy mountains and pine trees and the freshest breath of air. She’s rolling over in the middle of the night, pulling that warm body into yours and curling around it, and everything’s just right."
It's easy to fall into the charms of one of the biggest hockey players there is, especially ones that look like Carter Beckett. On the outside, he's everything you assume about your stereotypical jock... Gorgeous obviously, arrogant, self absorbed, and the biggest playboy. Everything he wants he gets... except for Olivia Parker.
Olivia doesn't have time for Carter's playboy antics and flirting. As pretty as he is to look at, there's no point, because he doesn't do relationships. Ollie is hanging on by a thread, trying to resist him... but his charms and big heart are making her consider him...
__________________________________________
THIS BOOK WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EXPECTED. Kudos to Becka Mackfor being the first author to make me cryyyy while reading a hockey romance.
I loved these characters. ALL OF THEM. Carter is your classic reformed playboy and I loved it. I have never read a more lovesick, sappy, swoony, golden retriever man in a book. He is ostentatious (which he proudly owns), gooey, hotter than sin, and so in love with Olive it's insane. I adored Olive.. She is fierce and takes no bullshit.. especially from Carter. Her constantly putting him in his place is hilarious. I wish the fact that she is short is talked about less.. it gets a bit old after a while, but either way I was able to get over it. I really appreciate that a good majority of this book is focused on them trying to build a relationship, and the chase didn't drag on for too long at all. It was genuinely just a great story about them falling for each other.
One of my favorite parts about this book, is the dynamics with all the characters. The boys are the team are IDIOTS. And I mean that in the most endearing way possible. Their antics are so funny, more than often juvenile, but they really do love and support each other. I am just waaaaiting for Adam's book. Cara is literally the ideal best friend, she is badass. But my absolute favorite side character is easily Hank. Carter's 80ish year old best friend. Their relationship will bring tears to your eyes and fill you with so much love.
This a fantastic sports romance>, it has everything you could ever want great side characters, a big found family, golden retriever MMC, and so much spice. I love this and I cannot wait for the rest of the boys stories.
4.90 stars

Captain of the Vancouver Vipers, Carter Beckett, has a reputation for being the NHL’s biggest f*ckboy. Until a petite brunette catches his eye. Olivia Parker, a high school fitness teacher, girl's hockey coach, and the most beautiful woman Carter has ever set eyes on, knows about Carter & his reputation. After a bit of a chase, Olivia gives in to Carter, risking her entire heart.
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
There are a lot of mixed reviews for this book. I absolutely loved this book. Carter Beckett is literally a dream, he’s captain of the hockey team and romantic and cocky AF. He knows he’s good and lets everyone else know as well. His outside persona is a hard manwhore, but on the inside, he’s absolutely adorable. I loved how corny this book was, his silly little comments, his obsession with food, and the obsession he has with Olivia.
This book could have been 100 pages shorter if the size of Olivia hadn’t been addressed so many times. We get it, she’s short(5’1”) and he’s big. Did we really need to address it 50 times? There was a lot of repeated information that wasn’t necessary as well, like how Olivia smells like Banana Bread, and Carter smells like lime and musky cedarwood.
My overall rating of Consider Me is 5/5 - without a doubt, I loved this book. Carter is my ultimate book boyfriend. The side characters were an added bonus, I love the dynamic of the team and family members, Hank is probably my favorite, and he’s such an asset to the storyline.
I give this book a 5/5 for spice, the spicy scenes made me wish I was Olivia, being thrown up against walls, pulled by my ankles, & OH EM GEE, the tie as a blindfold scene! YES PLEASE!
I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who likes sports romance, hockey, dual POV, and HEA. I laughed so much through this book, and if you tell anyone I’ll deny it, but I also teared up several times.
This is definitely in my Top 10 for 2023!

Well, Carter Beckett might have made his way into my Top 5 Book Boys Of All Time. A hockey man who is gentle when he needs to be and…not gentle when he needs to be? Love.
I really enjoyed this book, although I could’ve done without the constant reminders about Olivia’s size, the “scandal” towards the end, and the fact that he proposed at Cara’s wedding (even though he had approval…and it was definitely Cara’s idea to begin with, I just know it).

Her wide eyes lock on mine, cheeks blazing, hand hanging there in midair, holding on to a…A goddamn Oreo. Woman’s my f**king soul mate.
She’s like waking up on Christmas morning when you’re three years old and you finally understand what it’s all about.
I want to be better, not only for her, but for myself too.

🚩 FMC is a teacher & is sexually harassed or propositioned by male students on multiple occasions. This is dealt with using basic behaviour management when it should go straight to the principal & be dealt with seriously not laughed off. The FMC’s best friend jokes that “all those senior boys wanna get between her luscious thighs”, joking about adult/minor relationships & the sexual harassment her friend is dealing with at work. This needed to be better thought out as the joking encouraged this behaviour.

Wow, Tik Tok got it right with this one! I really really enjoyed reading this book. I absolutely adore Carter, he’s just a big golden retriever MMC who is obsessed with the FMC. I liked Olivia as well she works hard to overcome her anxiety and insecurities and really learn to trust and communicate with Carter. I appreciated that we really got to see growth from both Olivia and Carter through their journey as a couple. I will say this book did not need to be this long, with some editing an equally strong story could have been portrayed. That being said I Ioved this book, it was smutty and had a lot of heart! I definitely recommend reading Consider Me!
