Playing for Keeps #4
Fall with Me
Jaxon Riley is exceptional at three things: starting fights on the ice, picking up women post-game, and going home to fulfill his role as the world’s best cat dad. Relationships, unfortunately, missed the list.
Lennon Hayes is supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead, she’s alone and single, vacationing next door to a surly tattooed man who ran his date off the resort. When a run-in at the bar results in a night of bickering and cocktails, she finds herself tumbling into bed with the enemy next door, then sneaking out before the sun comes up.
Lennon’s plan to start over in a new city is going great, until she starts her new job. The job? The Vancouver Vipers’ new photographer. And the defenseman scowling at her from across the room? The one-night stand she wasn’t supposed to see again. Good thing neither of them are looking for anything serious… Right?
Jaxon may not be used to falling, but if he’s going to go, he refuses to go alone. If he falls, he wants Lennon to fall with him.

a cat dad who cries over toy story. #realmenareback
August 12, 2024
becka has done it again!!! the angst, the humor, the found family, THE LOVING OUT LOUD. this book was perfect and I loved every second.
𝙨𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨
jaxon is the notorious bad boy enforcer. he doesn’t do relationships and definitely doesn’t do love. he’s been burned and left by any one who matters. lennon is trying to figure herself out after walking in on her pencil dick ex fucking someone at their rehearsal dinner. when the two cross paths at a weekend away in cabo for a perfect one night together, it’s great. they’ll never see each other again. but then lennon walks into the arena as the team’s new photographer. and THEN her apartment floods and jaxon offers her a place to crash.
so begins their delicious descent from sorta hating each other to wait a second…
𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 & 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨
one of my favorite things about becka’s books is the way she writes characters who love their person with everything they got. whether it’s the little things like pink tulips on the counter each to the big things like ensuring the house has an observatory, I always feel the love permeating from the pages. the found family in each and every playing for keeps novel makes me cackle and literally cry for how much each of these characters love each other. the vulnerability and safe places they are for each of them to land.
jaxon and lennon had such a beautiful love story. lennon showed up for jaxon and he showed her what love really was supposed to feel like.
𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩
I’m but a basic girlie and I have to say the stargazing scene where jaxon opens up to lennon about his best friend, bryce. tears were STREAMING down my face.

I’ll never be over them. becka has written another forever fav and I can’t believe this series is coming to end after emmett and cara. what am I gonna do 😭

75% of this book was smut (wtf happened to the PLOT?!) and on top of that, having to hear carter speak like a whiny five year old child made me want to pull the trigger
August 5, 2024
Wow super hell nah lmao which branch of government do I need to write to so she can stop writing baby-talk dialogue when the characters' have their mouths full? She does this in every book and it drives me up the wall. I audibly sigh every time I read it. Honey is used 187 times...... federal prison, no chance of parole. Lastly, thanks Becka for ending racism when Caucasian Jaxon helped Black Lennon do her hair.

2.5!! I died a little inside every time he called her "honey" and Carter gets progressively worse as the series continues. Though, this has to be the best of the series as of right now.
September 7, 2025
I am so done with this author. This is the first book I dnf’d in a long time. Her other books were hard to get through but this one was just the worst. First of all, all the books would have benefitted from a good editor. They were at least 100 pages too long and full of stuff that neither added to the story nor moved it along.
And then the characters. Or should I say caricatures? Carter has gotten progressively worse throughout the series and is written as the epitome of a man child hockey bro that would in no way stay faithful. He has “I keep a secret phone with my hookups” written all over him.
Adam is just a quiet guy with a soft heart and a gigantic dick.
Do Emmett and Garrett have personalities? It’s hard to say because they seem to exist only to back up their bitchy significant others. The best thing Emmett ever did was marry Cara and save the rest of the marrying population from having her decide to choose them.
And let’s not forget Olivia is tiny. It’s literally her whole personality.
Now to the main characters for this book. I was pleased to see a queer woman of colour as a main character but the author really did her dirty. She was reduced to two things: her hair care routine and her sexual interests. So disappointing. And she treats Jaxon so badly, considering he literally saved her life and took her in when her apartment went bust. She literally takes over his space with no regard for common courtesy. She is possibly the worst house guest of all time. Jaxon is no better. Walking around naked in front of a woman without her consent is the definition of sa but I guess it’s okay if you call your dick Magic Mike. Plus the author can’t decide if he is a nice guy, an asshole, an enforcer, or a teddy bear. He’s just not a compelling character. Which is sad because he was in the last book.
I read up until after the Valentine’s Day part and that was enough. I can see where it is going. They will continue to have chapter’s long sex that doesn’t get any more interesting and eventually they will figure out that they are not unloveable because they (and their lame ass friends) love each other.
I will no longer read any Becka Mack books. I have wasted enough time already.

i think i may have found my book of the year 🥹
becka’s writing is just so special because it manages to be funny, hot, and entertaining while also having characters and storylines that pack an emotional punch and jax and lennon were no exception for me.
they meet while staying next door to each other and after spending a tipsy yet unforgettable night together, lennon leaves without a trace the next morning. they never expect to run into each other again… until his hockey team gets a new photographer that’s none other than his one night stand that he’s been yapping about nonstop.
the gang is so funny and sweet in this one. jaxon’s character will send me to therapy okkkk. if you’ve ever felt forgotten, unimportant, or invisible in your life, you will love jaxon and the lengths they all went to to show him how much he was loved made me cry on several occasions.
the banter between jax and lennon was EVERYTHING. i will never get sick of a fictional man who likes to tease and argue with her but then quietly does the sweetest things for her. jaxon was an acts of service girl’s dream and i cannot stop thinking about all the ways he quietly showed his love for her.
this whole series is like a hug from your best friend. it’ll take you through every emotion and i really think there’s someone that any reader can identify with in this cast of crazy characters.
these eccentric, goofy, hockey boys are not for everyone but they are certainly for meeeee!!

Becka Mack has a way of making the most obnoxious and chaotic romances so heartfelt and warm! The amount of times I cried while reading this is truly laughable, found family will get me every time.

He threw away all his nut products because she’s allergic.
She loves pink tulips so he puts a fresh bouquet every week with a new vase.
She’s on her period so he does her curly hair routine and even diffuses.
He took her to see the northern lights.
God I need Jaxon Riley
This book was perfect. I cried, kicked my feet, giggled, smiled till my jaw hurt.
When this series is over I need a 2nd gen.

this book could either be three stars or two stars, depends on what time of day you ask me but i can't pick right now...
after being not that impressed with unravel me, the third book in this series, i wasn't expecting to love this book. and when i discovered that this was over 500 pages i knew this wasn't gonna be my fave. it's very sad to say that i was not the biggest fan of this series anymore because i truly adore the second book. all the others just feel like carbon copies of each other. the characters are all the same, a man child playboy with a nice heart and a women who is tough on the outside but immediately feels emotions when she starts up a relationship with her guy. it's also just not fun seeing grown women be married to children... carter...
lennon and jaxon were not a bad couple, i enjoyed seeing lennon be in a relationship where she was truly loved for the first time and it was great to see jaxon gain a family because that's all he's really wanted. but we could've cut a hundred pages and both those things would've happened. there was not enough "plot" for this book to be over 500 pages, like it's a romance with no angst???? why was it so long????
because there is one more book left i will probably read it when it comes out just to conclude the series. this book is full of very animated grown men, lots of talk about sex, lots of characters reading romance books, a cat that has instagram, and a girl with her camera. it's not the worst thing that could've been written, i just feel like my tastes have grown and this type of romance book isn't for me.

DNF but I read enough so idc. Very Wattpad core and the humour is corny as fuck - feels like all these characters are not only adults who act like children but are also all written as different variations of each other.

ALL THE STARS!!!! 100000/10 ⭐
Thank you thank you Becka for sending me a copy of your upcoming book! It literally made MY DAY, MY WEEK, MY MONTH.
For everyone excited about Lennon and Jaxon, yalllll are not ready.
After I read Adam and Rosie, it quickly became my favorite of the series. But then after reading this one? I think I have a new favorite oops ₊˚⊹♡

"Gran snickers, and I take in the artwork scattered across the walls: dancing stars, falling meteors, brilliant sunrises, lush mountains. Lennon.
Lennon lives in every single piece, etched into the details, the sense of wonder, the same way she lives in my thoughts, running around all day, even when she’s not here.
I hate it when she’s not here."

JAXON MY INSECURE GIFT GIVING AND ACTS OF SERVICE KING. This has been one of my most anticipated reads of the year because I live and die for this series. I have been waiting for mr broody mysterious Jaxon’s story since book #2 and Mrs Becka Mack delivered it perfectly. I cried multiple times but also laughed literally sooooo hard???? And the Carter cameos were perfection. 5 stars. Brb while I go reread consider me. Again.
December 16, 2025
Solid 3 because I love the vibes this series gives -- this wasn't my favourite book as it was 90% fucking and 10% development .. I love their relationship but it was a bit too frustrating like was this the same author who wrote book 3??? Of course I ate the emotional depth parts up even though they felt like crumbs lol but I love those two as a couple and individuals -- I will be reading book 5💜

I love Becka Mack’s writing and I love “playing for keeps” series but all her MCs except one are such fuckboys. This one might even be the cherry on top. 🤦🏻♀️ But I keep reading and of course there’s a ONS. And that’s the same night he sends away the girl he went on holiday with. Wait this is all jumbled up. Let me explain.
He meets the ow in his gym. He hits on her and asks her if she wants to go on vacation with him to f*ck and whatnot you know (because it’s oh-so-normal to take a stranger as a f*ckbuddy on vacation).
Of course she says yes, he’s a famous and rich hockey player after all. Only he finds her extremely annoying when they arrive to their destination (hmm I wonder why? 🤔) and the only way to shut her up is to f*ck her. Something that they do so loudly that their neighbour (MFC) in the adjacent villa can hear every single sound. After three days he’s sick of her, sends her on her way and that same night he hits on the neighbour and thus their ONS!
So here’s my dilemma, how desperate are you that you drop so low as to sleep with a guy whom you’ve been hearing “loudly” with another woman for the past three days!
Some meet ups in contemporary books are just freakin’ OUTRAGEOUS!!! Sorry Becka Mack but this is waaaaaay too much.
Aaaaaaand the MFC reads a threesome romance book. Why???? 😩😩😩😩 romance authors are stooping sooo lowwwwwww… should I keep reading? 🫣
I’ve forgotten how bad mouthed they all are. 🙄
Snippets of that:
Cara is cheering on her husband who’s about to score. “Go, baby! Do it for the blow job!” She winks at the MFC “I’m gonna blow him even if he misses”
All that in a full stadium.
The MFC is facetiming her parents. They mention her cheating asshole ex, and encourage her to meet someone new on the hockey team. In comes her cousin: “ yeah Len, surely there’s at least one cute player there that’s caught your eye. Why not let him dick you down good?”
In front of her parents!!!! Is there no limits anymore? Is this how people nowadays talk in front of their parents? Am I living on a different planet?
He meets her for the first time after their ONS at the conference room in the arena. He’s shocked, his friends know of his escapade of course, one asks: “so that was the girl you met in Cabo?” To which another friend answers: “that was the girl he F*CKED in Cabo”.
And it goes on and on. Every interaction between the MCs is him reminding her how well she took his c*ck, how her p*ssy is aching for his tongue, fingers and “Magic Mike” because yeah he named his little (not so little) dude.
And the WAGS call themselves “C*ck Suckers” and keep comparing their husbands’/bfs’ d*cks. 😔🥺😫😭
Why did I even like this series?
Ok, consider me confused 🫤
They have a wild ONS in Cabo. Then they shockingly realise they work for the same team now. She’s enraged, she’s rude and absolutely angry with him for being a f*ckboy. Heh I mean, newsflash Lennon, you literally f*cked him the first day he threw out his hookup of a second! What the heck did you expect?!
Never thought I’d dnf a Becka Mack book. I mean I know there’s gonna be an angsty breakup, followed by a heartwarming reconciliation and a very sweet ending but I just can’t get past all that foul language and vulgarity.
EPIC FAIL

Hockey smut with a plot + incredible found family vibes + a cat dad + a guy who "doesn't date" but will do anything for the girl he likes + a one night stand + a workplace romance.
Best way to describe this book is that it was FUN.

Jaxon and Lennon and their cat were so cute together, but nothing will top Carter and his over the top personality for me. Ireland's first birthday party had me me in tears. 😭
Super excited for Cara & Emmett's book! I just know they will be my second favorite, after Carter and Olivia <3

I really really wanted to like this series but the dialogue is so cringe. I seriously could not move past it. And I really didn’t like that he called her honey from day one it was weird.
I did love Jaxon being a cat dad that was cute.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, what the actual fuck? Was Becka Mack abducted by aliens? Be so for real right now….both main characters talking about fucking in front of their GRANDMOTHERSSSSSSSS, gbyeeeee. Seriously though the first 10% was totally normal I was loving it then BAM, both main characters turned into pick me freaks and it was over.

J😭a😭x😭o😭n😭
I loved them 🥹 they were so cute and funny and I was actually crying at some parts
I did skip to the end of chapter two and started from there so I didn’t have to read anything that would make me not like him before he met her and I’m so glad I did bc I wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on this book
—————————
Plz I need one of my friends to take one for the team and read this because I want to read it so bad but I need to know if he’s actually whoring around after being with her 😭😭😭😭

Phenomenal. Heartwarming. Steamy. Easily a 5 star read and while I rarely reread books, I know I’ll have to visit Jaxon and Lennon again. This book had everything I love in a romance novel and I adored every second of it. Becka Mack continues to prove why this found family she created in her Playing for Keeps series is one of the best.

I'm sadly way too obsessed with this found family for my own good. I love them sm.
And Jaxon??? What is it with some authors making their men so off-putting to start with, just to go ahead and make us feel every emotion under the sun for them?
I might've cried for Jaxon. I won't confirm nor deny 🙂↔️
