WAG SERIES REVIEW
I loved BOTH of these equally. I really enjoyed the character personalities, the happy ever afters, pups, the cheesiness — all around my cup of tea and shot of whiskey.
Blake Riley’s mom is hysterical, and I don’t think I could ever get enough of Wesmie, J-Babe, Blakey, Matt, Hailey, or Jenny.
As a parent, I was able to relate to a variety of diffident occurrences is scenarios mentioned which made it all that much better. I may have unlocked a new interest…. because who would have thought I’d really enjoy not one but two hockey stories?!
5 star reads, each and as a series — imo
What should I read next by this author?
Stepping into the world of sports romance was a complete game-changer for me, especially with the WAG Series by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen. Before diving in, I hadn't realized how captivating the lives of hockey players and their partners could be. If you're curious about what makes these 'A WAGs Novel' books so addictive, let me share my perspective. First off, 'WAGs' stands for Wives and Girlfriends of athletes, and in the romance genre, it often means high-stakes drama, incredible chemistry, and a peek behind the glamorous curtain of professional sports. What I loved about this series, particularly 'Good Boy' and 'Stay,' is how it perfectly balances the thrilling hockey themes with deeply personal and often hilarious relationship developments. You get the intensity of the game, the camaraderie of the team, and then the intimate, often messy, journeys of the characters finding love. When I picked up 'Good Boy,' I was immediately drawn into the dynamic characters and the witty banter that Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen are so brilliant at crafting. It's not just about the typical romance tropes; it’s about genuine connection, overcoming challenges, and finding your own version of a happy ever after amidst the chaos of a professional sports career. And then 'Stay' continued that incredible momentum, offering another heartwarming and utterly charming story that had me smiling from ear to ear. Both books feature the kind of charming, slightly flawed heroes and strong, relatable heroines that make you root for them from page one. The 'hockey romance' aspect isn't just a backdrop; it's intricately woven into the characters' lives and decisions. You feel the pressure, the dedication, and the passion that comes with the sport, which adds so much depth to the relationships. Plus, the authors manage to inject just the right amount of cheesiness and adorable moments – think loyal pups and supportive families – that truly make these stories feel like comfort reads. It’s a genre that delivers on both the emotional connection and the exciting, fast-paced world of professional hockey. If you're wondering how to get into this subgenre or what to read next after these gems, I highly recommend exploring other 'hockey romance' novels or series that focus on athletes. Look for authors known for their character-driven stories and engaging dialogue. The WAG lifestyle, as portrayed in these books, offers a unique blend of glamour, challenge, and profound connection, making it a truly rewarding reading experience. It’s definitely a genre I'll be exploring more, thanks to the fantastic introduction from Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen!
