The Jilted Exes’ Club Book 1: Good Pucking Luck by Riley Hart

 

The Jilted Exes’ Club Book 1

Hayes

Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape.

One thing’s for I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.

Rylan

After a night with Hayes, I play some of the best games of my career. It’s meant to be a one-and-done deal, but when I find out he also lives in LA and doesn’t want anything serious, I see an opportunity.

Hayes wants experience. I want my good-luck charm to help me win the cup.

The media would go wild over a pro hockey player dating a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club—a distraction neither of us needs. We want this to stay simple. Easy. No strings, no falling in love.

Except I’m pretty sure I’ve already fallen. After all Hayes has been through, how do I get him to entrust his heart to someone who’s only ever been labeled a player on and off the ice?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s been months since Hayes experienced probably the most humiliating moment of his life. He proposed to his boyfriend in front of everyone at a hockey game just to not only be denied but learn immediately after that said boyfriend was hooking up other men as well. None of who knew about one another. And to add to that? It went crazy on social media and these guys were dubbed the Jilted Exes Club. And unfortunately Hayes is still feeling the aftermath. He was never confidant when it came to relationships and just people in general since he doesn’t really have friends, but his ex really made things worse. But Hayes is gonna change that. He is gonna go hook up with strangers and never have a relationship again. And when he meets Rylan and they have a mind blowing hook up, Hayes is feeling good. Until he realizes that Rylan is a professional hockey player. But it’s fine, they won’t see one another…until they do. Rylan can’t stop thinking about the guy he hooked up with in Seattle the night before he ended up playing the best game of his career. And when the next few games, he played terrible, his hockey superstitious self connects them. But maybe luck is on his side when they meet again. The chemistry is still there between them. The spark burning brighter. They make a deal. Hayes can be Rylan’s good luck charm and Hayes can find his confidence when it comes to hook ups. But as they break down the walls instead them, it’s only a matter of time until things start to change between them. I adored these two! They were such a fun couple. They had the best banter. I was constantly laughing at the two of them. I loved that Rylan was able to push Hayes’s buttons and get Hayes to open up to him and form a friendship that led to so much more. Hayes has always kept people at arm’s length yet he couldn’t help but let Rylan in. They helped and balanced one another out. I just loved how their relationship really built up to something more. Just a great story overall and I can’t wait for the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
