Read The Goal now for the perfect forced proximity romance!

She's good at achieving her goals . . .

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cut-throat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated . . .

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist . . .

    Leider viele Übersetzungsfehler, mal fehlende Wörter/Buchstaben, mal ganz falsch übersetzt. Aber davon abgesehen ein schönes, tiefgehendes Buch was mich emotional total abgeholt hat. ✨

    Von der Reihe ist dieses Buch tatsächlich das tiefgründigste von allen. Beide sind sehr angenehme Protagonisten, auch wenn Sabrina's Einstellung irgendwann auch ein wenig zu viel wird. Mir hat es auf alle Fälle wieder sehr gefallen.
