Review: The Graham Effect

✩✩✩✩✩

 

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, 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.

Review: I loved Gigi and Ryder. Even if their romance starts in a sort of cliche way, I really liked the way they grow together, realize they are serious about each other and take all the right steps.

Once or twice I felt I could do without so many, so detailed sex scenes, and there were a few places where the plot seemed to move a bit too slow, but overall the story and the characters are compelling and it's really hard to put down The Graham Effect once you start reading it. 

Happy readings!
