The Roommate Remodel is a cute hockey/second chance romance story that was an enjoyable quick read. All of the guys characters were written so well, and the closed door romance makes it perfect to recommend to my older students.

Thank you netgalley for an arc of The Roommate Remodel by Grace Worthington

A fun hockey romance. I enjoyed the close proximity aspect of the story as well as the sports romance. There was so much happening that kept getting in the way of the relationship, which made the story interesting.

This is the first book I’ve read from Grace Worthington and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the taboos of eating best friend’s brother as well as someone you work with. And of course my favorite trope of forced proximity was a major part of the storyline. I loved how well the characters were presented so we felt like we really knew even some of the very minor characters in the book.

This was a super cute second chance romance that also had forced proximity and HOCKEY! That sounds like a lot of tropes but it worked so well. This is a closed door romance so keep that in mind, but I don’t mind that! I’m going to check out more from this author on KU now!

I enjoyed this book a lot. If you are looking for a sweet closed door romance this one is for you! The romance was so sweet and I was rooting for the main character the whole time.

Oh my cuteness!!! I was so excited that this next book in the Renovation Romance series was Brax's and Jaz's story!!! *Happy Sigh* We got to see them in the previous book and I loved that this one started off with a wedding. Jaz's best friend's wedding (the main character from the previous book), who just happens to be Brax's sister. And yes, he's been told to stay away from Jaz!

Y'all are going to LOVE the wedding scene! Oh my heart it was adorable and super swoony! And funny! Definitely a favorite opening of a book for me. But just you wait for the downfall to happen, cause it comes! And then there are several surprises and ups and downs and lots of goodness!!!

I've been reading several books that are hockey rom-coms and I'm hooked. They've all been great! In fact I'm reading another one right now! Yes, I love hockey and love that all of these authors are writing books about it. Have you jumped on the bandwagon in reading all of the hockey books too? If you need recs for some good ones, let me know! I've got a few! ;-)

Brax is going to melt your heart right along with Jaz's so be prepared for that!

And get ready to meet all of the hockey team players. They're sometimes a handful but I love their friendship and camaraderie! They like to play hockey, joke around but they've always got each other's backs! Especially when there's so drama happening and a fellow player needs help!

I loved it all! And now I'm hoping that Brax's twin brother will get his story...and yes, he also plays hockey! *grins*

Content: Clean. Some kisses and making out. Some mild innuendos. Some moments of mild suspense/peril but nothing graphic.

I received a copy from the publisher, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.

Happy Reading!!!

This was an absolutely delightful addition to the "Renovation Romance Sweet RomCom Series". The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. The characters were charming and witty. I highly recommend this fun and quick read! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This was a cute, closed door, brother's best friend, hockey romance. It was fast pace and the characters build cute relationships together along the way. The team getting closer through the book was a sweet touch. Jaz has a big heart and takes care of everyone, Brax is a sweet guy trying to take care of Jaz so she can catch a break every now and then.

Cute closed door rom com. It is a fun series and this is a great addition to the series. Books are stand alone books, but is is fun to see the characters cross over. I liked the characters and story line. I was invested in the story and characters.

HGTV vibes AND hockey...what's not to love?! I also really enjoyed the combination of tropes in this one...best friend's brother, forced proximity, second chance, and found family. There was even some suspense mixed in. This was my first book by Grace Worthington and now I can't wait to catch up on her backlog!

Jazlyn...Man, this girl had the weight of the world on her shoulders and she honestly carried it quite well all things considered. And her dream bedroom sounded so amazing with those gorgeous built-ins! Her favorite Taylor Swift song is also my favorite, so...💜

Brax...I love how he put Jaz and her well-being first from the very beginning. And the wooing...This guy is a master. He really put in the work to win Jaz's trust back. He's really just an incredibly thoughtful and respectful MMC...totally swoony!

Things I loved...all of the renovations to Granny's home, the relationship between Jaz and Sloan, the vastly different personalities of all the guys, the top-notch nicknames, the loyalty of found family, and all the charity and community events.

I'm so looking forward to Vale and Sloan's book in a new series!

A cute and sweet second chance, roommates/close proximity and hockey rom - there’s so much happening in this quick read and so worthwhile picking up!

I haven’t read the first books in the series but turns out they’re sitting in my kindle library waiting for me, so I will read them soon… I jumped at the chance to read the arc of this one as soon as I saw it come up because the blurb sounded right up my hockey romcom loving alley, and it absolutely hit the spot. It’s unique because of how the tropes are mashed up, and I really enjoyed it. The only complaint with it is that it’s “sweet and swoony” (aka clean/closed door). This one really could have benefited from a touch of spice.

I enjoyed Brax and Jazlyn, from meeting at his sister’s wedding to when he and his twin moved in with her sister as roommates (several of his new hockey teammates became roommates to help her out and pay medical bills… but that’s a whole other part of the plot). Their wedding meet-cute was fantastic with a closet picnic and Swifty dance to avoid the bouquet toss, a very memorable kiss, and then a year of ghosting until he appears in her kitchen. The now enemies and roommates and she’s also working for the team - and so much more - is a fresh take on a lot of hockey romance novels that I just couldn’t get enough of and I read it so quickly.

This one is excellent and I definitely recommend it - so many twists and turns and not a typical and formulaic read. Go grab it! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series and glad to have found a new author I enjoyed this much!

I received an advance copy from NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, and this is my honest feedback.

This book had such genuine, tender relationships, both between Jazz and Brax and others in the story….Jazz and her sister, Sloan, Brax and his brother, vale, and other various teammates and friends. Connections felt deep, realistic, and heartfelt. 
Alex and Tom are the perfect villains and the team rallying to save the day and thwart their plans is fun and satisfying. Funny and realistic dialogue, interesting challenges, and a fun look into life as a hockey player make this book a must-read. Can’t wait for the other books in the series!

Hockey romances may be my new favorite thing. This book was so good. It follows Jaz and Brax as they navigate being roommates after he kissed her at her best friend's wedding, and never called her afterward. Brax also happens to be her best friend's brother. When Brax arrives at Jaz's house it's a total surprise for both of them. Jaz is still mad he never called and Brax is just trying to avoid her anger. Oh, and to make things worse Jaz has taken a new job working for Brax's hockey team. Jaz and Brax grew on me as the book continued, especially Brax Sometimes he has a tough exterior but really he is just so sweet. I also loved the teammates on Brax's hockey team. They were funny and added an extra layer to the story. Grace Worthington did well balancing the romance with the hockey storyline. Things I loved about this story include forced proximity, she wears his jersey, and he's protective of her. Also, this book is closed door but it still gives you all the feels.
Thank you to NetGalley. These are my own opinions.

Ok what a book.
I absolutely love drama and this book has it in a bucket load.
I felt so many emotions while reading it was a crazy ride.
I loved the characters and their growth during the book
A hockey romance with drama well written characters and an easy read Yes please !!
A brilliant book loved it

I generally like hockey romcoms, but this one just wasn’t for me. A bit too much drama/angst. But if you like a story with romance, comedy, AND angst… go check it out!

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. The Roommate Remodel came out yesterday!

Cute hockey rom-com. This is best friends brother trope. Not spicy. Overall a fun read. I did give the book 4 stars because I felt like Jaz was a little too harsh after just one kiss and I felt like some of the arguments with the side characters felt weird. Thank you Netgalley and Poets and Saints Publishing.
