This was a super cute story.  Sully and Kendra were so fun to watch fall in love. I love that they weather any negative situation together and by communicating.  This also felt like it was setting up the next series.  I can already guess who the main characters are going to be.

final thoughts: I LOVE KENDRA AND SULLY!! Sully was e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. and Kendra was so confident and sweet. I both love and hated their forced proximity secret relationship but I LOVED the way Sully manipulated the TV show to his own agenda. The grand gestures Sully performed for no reason other than to prove his love had me MELTING. You won’t regret reading Coach Sully is you’re looking for your next book boyfriend.

Sully is a retired hockey player and Kendra is an up-and-coming producer. She’s trying to get him on board for her new show, he just wants to get her. 
When he turns down the show, Kendra doesn’t turn him down. They fall into bed and wind up having to pull apart when they’re offered dream jobs- him as a coach for the budding professional women’s hockey team, and her as a producer for the documentary/dating show that was a condition of his coaching contract.

The drive Kendra has, the amazing PWHL team and world being built around these two- it’s all so so good.  And the plot twist that means love wins out? I am here for it. This is a kickoff to a new series and I am glad to have another awesome author whose backlist I can dig into.

Sloane 🤝 Hockey
This is a spin off from her other hockey series. You see some characters from that in this book, and I just loved the crossover! Love this world so much. 
Kendra is a tv producer and Sully is a retired NHL player looking to get into coaching. She wants him to do this dating show she’s making. Of course they hit it off and have a one night stand and then second. She happens to get pregnant, oops haha. 
You know how the rest goes! 
Daddy kink was strong in this one. As usual the spice did not disappoint!
