Caitlin (The Love Librarian)'s Reviews > Lucky Hit

I’m normally not a new adult romance fan, but this one was so sweet and easy to read! Lucky Hit follows Oakley, a hockey player with his sights on the big leagues, and Ava, a college student who is rightfully jaded towards dating athletes.

Oakley and Ava meet one night at Oakley’s going away party as he transitions to the minor leagues. Oakley isn’t in the party mood, and Ava had just caught her boyfriend cheating. They end up talking for hours before going their separate ways.

Several months later, Ava and her best friend (who are in their second year of university) are at a hockey game. Ava and Oakley are both surprised when they recognize each other. Turns out they share a mutual friend group that brings them back into each other’s orbit. And Oakley isn’t letting her go this time.

This was so well written. It started off a little slow, but once the story picked up, I was in love. Both Ava and Oakley have gone through a lot and both deserve an HEA. You could see their connection grow as the book went on and I was rooting for them when they took their relationship to the next level!!

The friend group is amazing!!! I can’t wait to read their books. Definitely check this out if you want a new adult, hockey romance that will absolutely make you melt!
