Description
She’s out of his league…
This Entangled Teen Crush book contains adult language, swoon-worthy kisses, and sexy hockey players. It may cause you to watch a hockey game…or ten.
Sixteen-year-old Claudia Waring has never kissed a boy. Never been popular. Never been to a hockey game. All that’s about to change. Assigned to tutor Chris Winslow, a prank-loving, gorgeous hockey player, Claudia’s perfectly planned life immediately veers off course. And she kind of likes it. But as fun as Chris is, she knows she'll never fit in his world.
After his latest prank lands him in hot water, Chris has to get serious about school or lose hockey. Not an easy thing for someone as carefree as the defenseman. The biggest problem, though, is how much he wants to help his cute, buttoned-up tutor loosen up a little. But while confidence has never been a problem for him, around Claudia, Chris is all nerves. Why would a girl as smart as her ever fall for a jock like him?
Advance Praise
5 stars: "Simply put, I love this book! I love this publisher and I love this author." - Ali, Ali's Bookshelf
4 stars: "Center Ice by Cate Cameron is the perfect, feel good YA romance for readers of all ages. This was a quick read for me that had the perfect balance of fun, drama, and love." -Elle, Mean Girls Luv Books
4 stars: "The conflicts in the story were deeply emotional, and I loved watching the two of them work through these issues. The author did a wonderful job with characterization, making me love her characters and care about their choices and where they would go from here. The writing had some sweet moments, some romantic ones, some angsty ones.... pretty much everything that fits together to make a great book for me. I loved it! And yes, there is another book to this, even though this one stands alone. So I'm really looking forward to the next book! Great read." -Shannon, The Tale Temptress
4 stars: "This was a really sweet romance. I know I say that about a lot of romances but this one really was. It took me a few chapters to connect with the characters but after that I was charmed by the way Tyler and Karen interacted." -Madison, Madison's Library
4 stars: "This book has so many things that I love, all rolled into one little book. Contemporary romance? Check. Young adult? Check. Hockey? Triple check. I knew I had to read this one the moment I saw the cover (I know, I know). I'm glad that the story inside is just as cute as the cover represents it to be." -Jillyn, Bitches n Prose
4.5 stars: "I will say I am usually not a huge YA fan and like to have a little heat in my romances I read but when I saw hockey, I was a sucker and had to check it out. I am so glad I did, it was such a great story that I didn’t even miss that there was no sex in this one. And I will say being Canadian and familiar with the Major Jr Hockey leagues here I really enjoyed the fact that this story took place in Ontario with Tyler playing in the OHL." -Beth, Lustful Literature
4 stars: "Center Ice is a great book. It is funny, sweet, heartbreaking, and an all around wonderful read. I loved getting to know all of the characters, and I loved that Cate Cameron wasn't afraid to show some ugly sides to them. This is how they were and this is how you were going to see them. No punches barred. If you are a fan of young adult/new adult contemporary that is realistic and not falsely fluffed up, I would strongly reccomend Center Ice. I can't wait for the next book in the Corrigan Falls Raiders series." -Michelle, Book Briefs
4.5 stars: "Amidst the cold weather and the freezing temperature of the rink, the love and chemistry of these two is enough to melt some ice. It’s a great short read about family, friendship, and growing up." -ChuCha, Reviews of a Book Maniac
