This book was a very memorable read for me. The couple remind me so much of myself and my husband in the way that they are both so different but yet they fit perfectly together. It was like they grounded each other. I fell in love with their story. They started out as friends and became so much more. This book was a fun and heartfelt read. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next. Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

I've never read a book with a character that is a Vlogger, and I really like it. I don't follow any Vlogger's myself but now I want to find one just like Sara. She was super fun, down to earth and wasn't afraid to come off weird. She knew she was weird and she owned it. Actually, I think she was harder on herself the she should have been. Instead of weird, she really just seemed fun and popular.

Josh was a tougher character. He was super rigid with planning everything and freaked when spontaneity happened. When you learn about his background, you get why he is the way that he is, but he had another side to him that still made him a delicious hero. He had no issues letting go when it came to the sexy times.

I'm really enjoying this series and I'm looking forward to the next one.

I enjoy Kelly Jamieson's books in general, so I was excited to get to review You Had Me At Hockey.
Unfortunately, this one just didn't work for me. I just didn't like the characters, which is a must for me to enjoy a romance.
Sorry.

Kelly Jamieson can write hockey books, and I believe this is one of her best series yet! Must Love Hockey...and Dogs was by far one of the most fun reads of the summer. You Had Me at Hockey is next in that series. Kelly writes great characters with witty yet thoughtful dialogue. Josh and Sara charm you from the beginning with how fun they are together. What adds so much to this book though is you also get a few lessons about living life, caring for others and rising up when you're down. Lessons we all can take forward in life, written in a thoroughly enjoyable book!

This book was a cute, light-hearted read. At first I had a little trouble connecting with the characters. The female love interest is an influencer which I find hard to relate to. Also, there was a little too much effort trying to make her quirky. However, the book smoothed out as it went along and I was rooting for the characters. They were cute together and both characters had some decent development by the end of the book.

I had to grab a box of tissues! I was sobbing near the end!
I absolutely loved Sara and Josh!! Sure, I wanted to smack Josh a couple of times but they both had the best chemistry and seemed to bring out the best in each other.
I can’t imagine this being written any other way. 5 stars.

This one was cute. I liked how Sara and Josh met and how they seemed to have a spark of chemistry right from the start they went with. I liked that Sara was chaos personified, while Josh was give me a routine to follow all the time. Josh had to learn to deal with the chaos that followed around Sara and if he thought about it, most of the time it was fun. You had to give the poetry reading a pass, one bad thing was bound to happen, but even then they found something to laugh about.

These two were low key about their relationship, both not wanting to hope for more, but secretly wanting more. I was glad with how things progressed for them, it took the pressure off. Things were going great until Sara did something good, something that needed to happen, but like all guys who are avoiding things, Josh lashed out and did so in a hurtful way. I liked that Josh saw the error of his ways and the person that helped him, because he needed to do something big to fix things. Josh picked the perfect way to grovel and get back into Sara's good graces, it fit them both and allowed them to find their HEA.

Thank you to Net Galley, Kelly Jamieson and Random House for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book made me swoon. Sara was one of the greatest characters I have seen in a book in a long time. She made me laugh and cry. Sometimes at the same time. It was insta-love for me.

This entire book was adorable. Josh was sweet but stuck in his ways and needed routine in his life like he needed water and food. Sara made me laugh from her point of view every single time. And together, they exploded. There was so much chemistry. There was a neat side story about two stubborn boys playing hockey together. I also loved the inside look at the life of an influencer and blogger. It was so interesting to learn what they actually do and how it bleeds into every aspect of her life.

This is going to be one of my favorite sweet romances I have read this year. I just couldn't put it down. I loved both characters, even grumpy Josh.

Whoa. This book was NOT what I expected. At. All. You Had Me At Hockey by Kelly Jamieson was unexpectedly and refreshingly deep, and had me up way past my bedtime (thank goodness for Kindle back-lighting, amiright?).

Pro-hockey player Josh and Youtuber Sara both come to the story with a lot of baggage, and although a lot of that baggage is unpacked in the story, they don't rely on each other to fix their problems and actually not all their problems are fixed by the end of the book which makes this story real in a way that caught me by surprise.

I liked a lot of things about this book but the thing that really stands out was how it normalizes mental health and does not try to say "hey, if you find the right person, you can cure your depression." Don't get me wrong, this book is definitely not a downer, it is funny, bright, and ultimately very satisfying.

Josh's first impression of Sara is that she is kind of nuts. Cute, hot but nuts. Sara tries to get Josh to open up. She asked a lot of questions. Probably too many for Josh. You Had Me at Hockey is a funny, super sexy and an easy to read romance novel It flowed quickly.

This second installment of Kelly Jamieson's new Bears Hockey series did not disappoint. Josh and Sara are a great couple and it was great to see Easton and Lily continue to play a big role in this book as well. Both Josh and Sara have very significant issues hat they need to work through individually and as a couple and Josh's holding back creates real strains on their relationship until it breaks. Of course, that break, and his relationship with a terminally ill little boy, drive him to start to repair his relationship with Easton as well as to win back Sara. It is great to see characters who on the outside look like they are at the top of their game dealing with very real world problems and insecurities that many of us face in life. I do wish there was a little more detail on Josh's recovery from the accident to give more context to feeling abandoned by Easton and Hunter and I would love more of where his dad and uncles are (because oh that generation of Heller men!)

Yes, ma'am! Yes! This is my second book in the Bears Hockey series and I adore these characters! There were LOL moments and swoon-y moments. Kelly Jamieson has such an incredible gift of writing contemporary romance. I loved Sara's character and all of her quirks. She kinda reminds me of me! :)

This was such a good love story. Josh and Sarah balance each other out. I loved seeing their relationship unfold. They are perfect for each other. Sarah meets Josh when she interviews him for her podcast. Josh has just been traded to New York, and doesn’t want to do the interview but knows he has to. They have great chemistry from the start. I laughed, and had a smile throughout the book.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. This book was just amazing. I just lost myself in this story and didn’t want it to end. It was really well written and just drew in you into these characters lives. I look forward to seeing what’s next from this author.

OMG. I wanted to devour this in 1 sitting and had to slow the roll. I've enjoyed a few of Jamieson's hockey romances but the couple new ones I've managed to get a hold of have not been very good. Bears Hockey #1, for instance, was a disappointment.

Now this was sooo much better. I loved Josh and Sara. I get why they each have their own fan bases in their own careers. They are lovely, evolved and resilient individuals. Jamieson did a great job showcasing them and making this a relationship you root for.

What an emotionally wonderful read! You Had Me at Hockey, by one of my top hockey romance writers, Kelly Jamieson, will give you ALL the feels. It was a total emotional roller coaster ride...but in the absolute best way.

This book has some of my favorite things:

🏒Hockey
🏒Hockey players
🏒Opposites attract romance
🏒Virgin heroine who is “who she is”
🏒Overcoming a past
🏒Friendships
🏒Tears/Heartbreak

Sara is a spontaneous, far-from-perfect, social media guru with a lot of fans. Josh is a hot hockey player who just got traded to the Bears hockey team and isn’t really pleased about it…partially because his ex-best hockey playing friend is on the team, and partially because changing things just isn’t okay!

"Our life isn't a book written by someone else...I have to create my own story line."

I LOVED the way the author introduced these two characters to one another! I LOVED the well-written characters! I LOVED the storyline! I even LOVED all the tears I felt slowly flowing down my cheeks!

This romance was full of humor, honesty, heat, and heartbreak. The banter between Sara and Josh was fantastic! I loved the romantic relationship that slowly developed and all of the realistic moments in this book. There were some parts of this book that dealt with cancer, accidents, death, depression, however…they were all so well written. The “hot” moments got pretty dang steamy (fanning myself) and descriptive and…wow!

I always enjoy when other characters from other books are weaved into a book, and this one has that. Some of the other Bears’ hockey family were cameoed in this one. Easton and Lilly (and Otis) from Must Love Dogs…and Hockey played a bit into this storyline and I was so deeply touched by that whole portion of their storyline.

I don’t want to “spoiler” any of this spectacular book, so I will just leave by saying… this was a 5 puck read and I whole-heartedly recommend it!

As I have read every one of Kelly Jamieson’s previous books, I knew I was in for a great story with a hot guy. This latest release did not disappoint! Josh was such a great character. You couldn’t help but fall in love with him. And Sara, great quirky, Sara. If two more perfect characters for each other exist in another book now, I have no idea where. I loved every page of this story! Well done Ms Jamieson!!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

Man this was a hard love story. Josh is so closed off. He's been through a lot and it's understandable but it makes it hard for him to realize how much he needs Sara and to let her in emotionally. I liked Sara and Josh. Sara's occupation as a social media star is fun and interesting. She and Josh click from day one and the attraction is never their problem. Building a relationship is difficult and I wanted to reach into the book and shake them both. Well mostly Josh. I've enjoyed several of Jamieson's books and she always creates good character, an interesting progression to their HEA and a compelling story. This book met all my expectations and was enjoyable to read.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to leave an honest review. This is the second book in the series and I have read both. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I did with the first one. Kelly Jamieson has a very good writing style, the book flows well and was easy to follow the timeline and synopsis.

This book is about Josh Heller, a professional hockey player, and Sara, an influencer very popular on social media. Josh likes everything planned; after a tragic accident as a teenager that almost left him unable to play, he despises surprises. So when he gets traded from Dallas to New York to a new team, his world goes into a bit of a tailspin. Sara is famous on her blog/channels for being real, spontaneous and all out there; she doesn't always wear makeup and is open about pretty much everything. The two meet when the team arranges for Josh to be interviewed on Sara's podcast. They didn't realize how compatible they would be even though they are very much opposites. It isn't all easy however and this brings in to play there differences and how they deal with them.

This is a story about how two people need to compromise and communicate to make it work. It was a very sweet story and really enjoyable. I would recommend both books in the series.

The saying opposites attract has never been truer than when it comes to describing Josh Heller and Sara Carrington. Sara is quirky and spontaneous, while Josh is a little uptight and a planner. The two meet, when Josh is a guest on Sara’s podcast, and they find that they’re intrigued by each other. Chaos and some fun dates ensue as they get to know each other. But when Sara begins to find out what’s behind Josh’s uptight demeanor and decides she wants to help, will Josh be grateful, or upset with her meddling?

I loved the first book in this series, and that book had me super intrigued to meet Josh. Add in the fact that I love the entire Heller Brother’s series (which are about Josh’s dad and uncles), and I knew this book was going to be great! Sara is hilarious and I love that she keeps Josh on his toes, but I also have to give Josh credit. He planned some super fun dates that I wouldn’t have expected from him. The two are definitely opposite sides of the same coin and their banter is hilarious! Plus, the chemistry between the two…WOW. If you love hockey and quirks this is the book for you!
