Come and join us for April’s New Romantics Book Club, where we’ll be discussing Shoot Your Shot, by the excellently-named Lexi LaFleur Brown. Rachel Reid calls it: “A hilarious, sexy debut from an author who truly knows her hockey.”Jaylen "JJ" Jones's hockey career is over. After not securing an NHL contract with the Seattle Rainiers, Jaylen decides to bid the city farewell with a final night of fun, blowing off steam with an anonymous one night stand. But when a last-minute roster spot opens up on the Rainiers, he connects his luck to the girl he spent the night with. Superstitious Jaylen is desperate to keep her around--his career depends on it.
Aspiring tattoo artist Lucy Ross isn't so sure about the proposition to remain Jaylen's lucky charm--she's been called a lot of things in her life, but good luck has never been one of them. But stuck in a career slump, Lucy has everything to gain. Hoping for an apprenticeship hasn't offered much stability, and Jaylen is willing to pay any price to get Lucy to agree...so maybe sending him a routine text message before each game won't be too hard.
What starts as an agreement to trade favors--a good luck text in exchange for tattooing practice for Lucy's portfolio--quickly turns into sizzling chemistry that's too delicious to deny. But Lucy's been in too many situationships to even think about getting attached again, and Jaylen is clearly only with Lucy as long as it's helping his gameplay...
Neither of them expecting getting lucky could be so complicated.
