Penalty Box Proposal

Hot Shots #6

by Lyssa Lemire

She's the coach's daughter. Totally off limits. But for her, I'll break any rule.

The night I meet Zoey is a night I’ll never forget. Not only do we have a hookup more intense than I even thought possible, but for the first time in my no-strings-attached life, I actually find myself thinking that there might be something more than purely physical between us …

Until I learn she’s my coach’s daughter.

Not only that, but now she has an internship with the team's social media department, and relations between staff and players are strictly forbidden. She's absolutely off-limits, and giving into my desire could put my future in the sport I’ve dedicated my life to at risk.

There’s just one problem: I want her so bad, I’m willing to put everything on the line.

Even my heart.

Liam and Zoey reconnect after a one-nighter when she transfers to his school. Then they find out they are not allowed any type of relationship, but can’t stay away from each other. I wish they would have communicated a little more along the way. I like that she convinces him to be more open with his friends and learn to set boundaries. I love how good their friends are to them and for them. I like all the people on their side. Lots of great steamy moments, but I wish they were a little less one-sided. Really enjoyed the story.

Este libro hasta me puso nerviosa, me encantaron los personajes y la trama, fue re divertido, Liam debe ser el pibe mas ansioso qué eh leído y Zoey es re divertida, la amo. No voy a mentir pensé que el ex novio y la ex mejor amiga de ella iban a aparecer o generar más quilombo, me gusta el drama no lo puedo evitar, y que el problema lo generé el padre fue re cliché y un poco al pedo porque le duró como 5 caps.
A todo esto llevo shipeando a las mejores amigas de las protagonistas con los chicos del equipo hace como tres libros, puede pasar que si queden juntos en algún libro porfavor?? Gracias.

This is a very nice story even though it is the typical coach’s daughter dating the player. Zoey and Liam’s chemistry is amazing and their looks exchange gave me goosebumps. It is easy to read and it flows nicely too. They met at a Halloween party and hooked up. Then she transferred to his college and they met again in a very cute meet cute. Hehehe. Loved it!!!.

I thought this was a sweet but sizzling romance. Liam and Zoey have a one night stand. However, he hasn’t forgotten about her. Due to a misunderstanding, she is upset with Liam but they eventually resolve this but another barrier stands in their way. She is the coach’s daughter! I really enjoyed this story as Liam and Zoey were adorable together.

This was good but a little predictable. Maybe familiar, kind of like a pair of comfy pyjamas, would be a better, nicer term.
It is chocked full of chemistry & sneaking around. It felt a little lust heavy as there isn't much time spent on non physical time together. There are a couple of good conversations between them though, which help Liam with his Dad.
A solid, low angst, spicy read.

A low angst, coach's daughter sizzling romance about Liam and Zoey.
They had a one night stand and months later their paths cross and will they give each other another chance?

It was a nice read if a bit predictable.

Zoey and Liam have that easy belong together story but of course shes the coaches daughter.
While not my favourite couple in this series they fit so well in the hot shots world.

I loved this story so much. I read it in one sitting. I loved the feeling of the forbidden romance, with the whole coach's daughter trope.

It was a pretty good book, the only reason I cant give it 5 stars is because it didn’t hook me as much as i expected it to, but overall its worth the read. I loved reading it, I don’t know the dates because i read it in sections over a bunch of months like a 15 minute read at a time.

These two were so cute I loved this story. I’m a sucker for forbidden romance but the ending was a full circle happy ending. I’m so excited to hear about them through the other books

Just very good.

Can't really wait to read more from this author. I loved this story. Normally college stories are not my favorite but this author does them splendidly.
