She’s good at achieving her goals…

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

Ratings and reviews

This series really held my attention until this book. I just couldn't get into the MFC. I understand why the author took it in this direction, but to be fair, I read this series as a break from the epic fantasy novels I'd been reading and just wanted the angst and spice. This didn't fit with the other books. All you do is feel sorry for Tucker and want to slap Sabrina for the majority of the book. I almost dnf'd this one and I almost wish I had. I switched to Katee Robert after this and haven't been let down by her Dark Olympus and Wicked Villians series.

I found it disappointing. It felt drawn out, and I struggled with the character arcs. Tucker was painted as only good, and Sabrina was painted as a mess. Plus, with all she had gone through it felt a little unfair to throw a pregnancy plot onto Sabrina's character.

Very good from start to finish. Very entertaining very descriptive with the language. It shows that when young people make mistakes they do learn by them and go on to better things I know I'm one of them.
