Moo U Hockey Series Book 2: Slapshot by Rebecca Jenshak

Slapshot (Moo U #2)
Moo U Hockey Book 2

I’m banished to Vermont for a scandal that wasn’t my fault, and broke because my famous father cut me off. And did I mention my roommate stole my boyfriend? Yeah, I’m loving my Moo U experience.

Now I need a job, because this gel manicure won’t upkeep itself. The only available option is the last one I’d ever want--a job as the hockey team’s equipment manager. My plan is to do the bare minimum, get paid, and find my way back into my father’s good graces.

I will not get involved with a hockey player, no matter how hot. They’re cocky. And obnoxious. I know their type, and I’m not willing to risk getting hurt again. Until Lex Vonne glides into my life looking like sin on a stick.

He thinks I’m a spoiled brat.
I think he’s using me to get ahead.
But the fire I feel when we’re together is like a slapshot to my heart…

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Moo U Hockey book 2 and it was another great one! So I started this book and within the first few pages I was like something is familiar. Why do I feel like I know our main girl Kaitlyn... then I saw the names Dylan and Chastity and click! Roommate. Ex. Everything came together. So one thing to know about this series that is exists in the True North World that was created by Sarina Bowen. And Moo U was introduced in Bowen's book, Heartland, which featured Dylan and Chastity. Meaning we saw our first glimpse of Kaitlyn, which because she was in the way of Dylan and Chastity's HEA, I didn't like her too much. But! Now she has her own story to tell and we get to know her a lot better and find out why she wasn't all that nice and great in Heartland. And turns out, Kaitlyn is actually a pretty awesome heroine.

So Kaitlyn isn't really loving her Moo U experience. She was kicked out of her last college and shipped here by her dad who is basically cutting her off until she proves that she is on the right track again. Then of course being the roommate to the girl who ended up with her ex-boyfriend isn't a great feeling. As she tries to pick herself back up, she realizes she needs a job and ends up working as the equipment manager for the boys' hockey team. A job she could do in her sleep because she grew up with hockey since her dad was a famous hockey player. And this job brings her to Lex. Who she is at first sure is just using her to get to her dad. Since in Kaitlyn's experience that is usually the case. But Lex is not like any guy she knows. He genuinely likes Kaitlyn and just wants to get to know her. Lex has to be the absolute sweetest. And when he isn't trying to win Kaitlyn over, he is probably the hardest working player on the Moo U team. 

I loved their story. Lex was an absolute dream who continued to fight for Kaitlyn and prove that he was there for her and her alone. It isn't easy and there were definitely ups and downs. Kaitlyn has built a shield around herself and has never given anyone a real chance. But Lex has a way of understanding her and making her want to try to trust and fall in love. All around great story. Their romance was great, great banter, and of course hockey and hockey players! Another great insight to this world that is getting bigger and bigger and I'm looking forward to it all!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
