I think one of my favorite things about this Cocky Hero World is that I get to discover new authors to me. I haven't ever read this author and I am pondering how that is possible. Strong writing, strong characters, and a foundation to a story that grows. I have been intrigued by Adele since I read about her in a previous Cocky World Club book. I thought I had a pretty good idea about what her story would be like and how it would go. I couldn't have been more wrong, and I loved that.

Finn, my lord, was this man delicious. I loved the connection that Adele and he had. There was a sense of closeness that grew from their connection. It wasn't lust, and it wasn't instant love. Instead, it felt like two souls merging, as if the other had been waiting for the other all along. The emails that Finn wrote to her, were so sweet and honest with a lot of vulnerability. That was a nice touch.

The only reason that this didn't rank higher is it felt so rushed at the end, like the author was trying to make everything fit together in order for the book to end. After the slow build of the journey of these characters, I felt like it was an injustice to the book and the characters. I would have also liked to see the responses to Adele's gift at the end.… (más)

I love the World of True North that Sarina Bowen has created so I was beyond thrilled to find out that other authors would be writing books set in this world. This is my first book by Rebecca Jenshak and I cannot wait to read more by her.

I was a bit worried that I would not like this book because I was so annoyed with Kaitlyn in the last book she was in. However, I totally changed my mind about her and really enjoyed her story. It really helped that Lex Vonne was such a great character, I am obsessed with him now.

I am very excited to read more books that take place in the World of True North as I know there will be several by a variety of authors coming out soon. This is a relatable place with characters you truly care for and want to see a happy outcome given to.… (más)

I am a huge Smart Jocks fan and I think I gave every book in the series so far five stars. I have been so excited for this one and it took me too long to actually pick it up. I was excited to jump into this world and these characters again.

The series as a whole can be read as standalones. However; I feel this one was very disconnected from the others. It read a little more youthful than the others. At times I found the behaviors and situations very immature. It all just fell flat for me.

Sadly, I did not love this one. However; this is still one of my favorite series that I will recommend to everyone.… (más)

Rebecca Jenshak scores with SLAPSHOT (Moo U #2). In this story, Kaitlyn Dalager transfers to her father’s alma matter, Burlington University, aka Moo U. Her father; Declan was a hockey legend there and in the NHL. Despite hating hockey, she takes a job as the team’s equipment manager. She catches the eye of hockey forward, Lex Vonne. He will have his work cut out for him convincing her that he is interested in her for her and not who her father is. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for new adults.

Rebecca Jenshak does a nice job with this story. She does a great job developing the characters and incorporating the other characters in the series. Kaitlyn and Lex had interesting obstacles to overcome, and I like how they both grew throughout the story.

SLAPSHOT is a great fit in Sarina Bowen’s world of True North. I like how Vino and Veritas was incorporated into the novel. I recommend this book to people who enjoy Sarina Bowen’s world of True North and/or sports romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.… (más)
