The Forward Must Cry: A New Adult Romantic Comedy by Xavier Neal

4.0

Tucker Gillette finds himself in the hot seat with his team because he doesn't know how to stop dipping his wick into the players on the female teams which caused one girl to get a concussion and the other to possibly be kicked out of school. This prompts a change in the code of conduct to add a no fraternization rule between teams. No sooner does Gillette sign these new rules than does he meet Naomi Troy, the mascot for the hockey team. A girl that he cannot seem to stay away from despite the rules and her obviously pushing him away.

G and Mo were way too much fun. Their verbal sparring is my favorite in this series so far. They were so freaking hilarious. Once again I loved that Mo was not your typical girl but she caught G's eye and he wasn't going anywhere after that. I loved that these two had more in common than they ever thought and the more that they opened up to each other, the more that they realized they had in common. I absolutely adored these two and all of the cheesy puns. As much as I loved these two, I was really irked by the ending of this one. A HUGE thing happens that causes the H and h to confront each other after their conflict and this HUGE thing is explained (I uses this word very loosely) in two sentences in the epilogue. And it didn't sit well with me. I felt like that deserved more than two sentences to wrap up. Also, the H is a winger not a forward so the title rubs me wrong. Aside from the issues I had I still adored this book so much and I would recommend this series. I cannot wait to see where we go from here.
