Review: In The Penalty Box by Lynn Rush and Kelly Anne Blount

My Review: 3.75 ⭐

I do love a hockey story and this one is action packed with it. Brodie and Willows relationship was sweet and cute, but predictable. I like a good sob story and they both have one.
It is nice and clean and what I’d expect from a YA book, except for the swearing. And I didn’t care for a few of the players sexist comments either.

Side note – it bothers me when the people on the cover do not match their description in the book.


Book Blurb:

Willow
Figure skating was supposed to be my whole world. But one unlucky injury and now I’m down…but I’m definitely not out. I just need to rehab—a boatload of rehab—and who’d have thought I could do it on the boys’ hockey team?

Of course, the infuriatingly hot captain of the team seems to think I’m nothing but sequins and twirls. What’s a girl to do but put him in his place? Game on.

Brodie
Hockey is my whole world. I’ve worked my tail off getting my team in a position to win the championships—hopefully in front of major college scouts, too—so what’s a guy to do when a figure skater ends up as our new goalie?

Of course, the distractingly sexy skater thinks I’m nothing but a testosterone-laced competitive streak. And surely she’s only biding her time to heal, then she’s gone. Game over.

I'd love to hear your thoughts
