Weekly Read
Book 1 of the Campus Nights series
A forbidden, friends to lovers hockey romance from USA Today best-selling author Rebecca Jenshak.
I didn't plan on falling for my brother's teammate.
It’s my first semester at Valley U, and I’m just getting over the last hot jock who broke my heart.
But the cocky hockey player is determined to win me over.
We start as friends, but the more time we spend together, the more the lines blur.
I’m falling for him, and nothing can stop me.
Not the fact he’s already been drafted by the NHL or that my brother would seriously freak out.
You see, Heath has a reputation for having a new girl in his bed each weekend.
And now that girl is me.
As someone who’s always been captivated by sports romances, this book truly resonated with me. The dynamic between the protagonist and Heath, a cocky hockey player with a daunting reputation, feels both thrilling and authentic. I particularly enjoyed how the story explores the tension of falling for someone so close to family — it adds layers of conflict that make the romance more compelling. Rebecca Jenshak’s writing style vividly brings Valley U’s campus and hockey scenes to life, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the collegiate sports culture. The pacing strikes a perfect balance between emotional depth and sizzling chemistry, making it difficult to put the book down. What I found refreshing about this romance is the realistic portrayal of personal growth and vulnerability behind the tough athlete facade. Heath is not just a typical jock; his charm and flaws are well-developed, which makes his relationship with the main character believable and heartwarming. For readers who enjoy sports romance mixed with forbidden love themes, this novel offers an engaging journey filled with heartfelt moments and steamy encounters. If you’re a fan of the Campus Nights series or looking for a strong start to a new romance saga, this book is a great pick.
