I thought this was cute and sexy.

The tampon scene isn’t gross like people are making it out to be in their reviews. He literally just removes her tampon and fingers her to help with her cramps.

I freaking love a nerdy playboy jock!! Elden ring, Star Wars, lord of the rings AND studying literature 😭🥰 I am IN LOVE with Cooper Callahan! 

A lot of praise and dirty talk 🥵

Penny Ryder is the hockey coach’s daughter and she wants to take back control of her sex like after her shitty ex ruining it for her. She makes a list of every sexual experience she wants to have. Now she just needs to find someone who can help her cross off the things on her list. 

Cooper Callahan is in a dry spell and needs an outlet for his stress so he can focus on getting his act together on the ice to make captain. 

I pact is made. Friends with benefits. No strings attached. Right? 
Make sure you check trigger warning there are some slightly darker topics

I adored this book, it was a great hickey romance with relatable characters that had their own shit going on and honestly I can’t believe I waiting so long to read it especially since it has all my favorite tropes a hockey romance, sunshine boy grumpy girl, dislike to benefits, and she’s got trauma so he helps her get thru her sex list. And the spice 🥵

    Cooper, the college hockey player who's never had a serious relationship, and Penny, whose only serious boyfriend betrayed her. Hook-up and then they try to work on Penny's sexual to-do list to deal with her past trauma. But as they work through the list, they both start to catch serious feelings for one another.
     This book was quite steamy! Just the way I like romance, but also dealt with past trauma and mental health. It was a great balance of serious, funny, and spicy! Though a bit on the sad side at times for a college romance.
    Overall, an excellent book.

Narrator(s) Ratings: 5 stars
   Both narrators did an amazing job.

The toxic relationship, emotional abuse, and gaslighting are not in the main romantic relationship but with some of the MC's family members.

Book two was even sweeter🥹 but with some deeper topics, making for a more raw + emotional read. Starring the second Callaghan brother, ice-hockey-playing Cooper + Penny, his coach’s daughter, this was another fun + easy read with brilliant narration. The characters in this series are amazing, both individually + coupled up. I loved sweet, strong, fiery Penny + Cooper was the perfect gentleman, super kind and loving. Penny’s past trauma added some depth to the plot and was written sensitively and I liked the way her list was incorporated into her healing process. This one was steamy!
