Synopsis
Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women’s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father’s shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine—a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.
Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he’s still the enemy.
Briar’s new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men’s team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another’s guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he’s angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, and she puts in a good word with her dad.
The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they’re trying to ignore. It’s a dangerous game they’re playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

Thoughts
Whew! Gigi and Ryder’s chemistry made me question whether any of my other favorite book couples had any compatibility at all. This couple is off the charts! So, maybe it goes without saying that book one in the Campus Diaries series was a thoroughly enjoyable read for me.
The main characters’ personalities and backstories provide just the right amount of depth to score the winning goal in this college hockey romance. It was a joy to see Gigi and Ryder navigate young adulthood and their relationship in this unputdownable story.
I can’t wait to see what Kennedy has in store for book two, The Dixon Rule, which is set to hit stores in May!
