Review: Checked (Gold Hockey #7) by Elise Faber

Review: Checked (Gold Hockey #7) by Elise Faber


Poor Rebecca has had a hell of a time trying to get her nutrition plan approved by the team doctor, Gabe. She isn't sure why - her plan is solid, the research backs it up, and everyone else seems to approve but him. Too bad for her that he's so freaking gorgeous that she almost can't stand it. Luckily, he's such an ass, and her anxieties make it impossible for her to hardly be near him, so he's really no trouble for her, with the one exception that he's standing in her way of making the team healthier. If only he'd tell her the real reason he has such a problem with her...


But lo and behold, Gabe apologizes and somehow the two end up becoming really good friends. Of course there's a serious attraction, but it will never be consummated. Right? Because Rebecca's anxieties are't just something frivolous, they're real, and not something that can easily (read, never) be cured, and Gabe would never want to be with someone so full of anxieties. Right? Wrong. But in order for them to be together for the long haul, she'll need to fully let him in and let him love her. The only question is, will she? Is she capable of it? Or is she just too messed up to be in a relationship with such a good man like Gabe?


This is a wonderful installment of the Gold Hockey series. I love how Gabe and Rebecca end up in a great friendship that turns into more. They're so good together, so sweet, and the sparks, whew! Hot! Although slow burn, this is definitely a sexy tale and Rebecca and Gabe are awesome. Cannot wait for more of the Gold Hockey world.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
