I didn’t know she was my teammate’s girlfriend. I only knew she was the smart-mouthed runner who crashed into me on a campus trail.

By the time I learned her boyfriend was Marcus Kane—my teammate and enemy since youth hockey—I already wanted her.

I should have stayed away.

Should’ve. Would’ve. Could’ve.

Instead, I became her secret 5 a.m. running partner.

I tried to keep it there.

But when a storm trapped us alone, I stopped pretending I could keep my hands off her.

Now that I’d tasted her, staying away was no longer an option.

But Marcus has never learned how to lose. When Josie leaves him, he refuses to let her go—and threatens to destroy my NHL future if she stays with me.

Josie says we have to stay apart.

She’s wrong.

I’m not giving her up without a fight.

And Marcus Kane is about to learn I’m just as ruthless as he is.

MY REVIEW


While on a run, Josie slams into what feels like a wall, but is actually a guy. A solid slab of muscle named Waylon, body formed by countless hours on the ice. Just her luck, Way turns out to be her boyfriend's teammate and it's obvious the two don't get along. But she and Waylon do. So much so that they become secret running partners, then more after she finally breaks up with her dickhead ex. But Josie's spent years living a lie with Marcus, and getting out from beneath his thumb is proving hard. Even with Way by her side, she can't seem to fully get away from him and his father's powerful name.


Waylon and Josie are a study in determination, persistence, and the will to fight. Until near the end, I thought they were just going to sail through without too much in the way of obstacles. Of course one big one happened, and I admit I was worried for them, because things weren't looking optimistic. In a true display of strength, though, they figured it out, Josie especially, and I was able to finally take a breath. I still think Marcus didn't get quite the comeuppance he deserved, but Waylon and Josie got to be together, out in the open, finally able to show how much they loved each other, and that made it all worth while.

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!
