Well That Happened: A Why Choose Hockey Romance
A Spicy "Why Choose" Hockey Romance you'll devour!
My name is Rilee Jameson, and all I want is to survive nursing school, keep my head down, and make it to graduation.
Instead?
My apartment floods. And I end up crashing with three hockey players.
Now, I’m living in a testosterone-soaked disaster zone filled with a suspicious number of shirtless abs and very questionable house rules.
There’s Caleb—sweet, flirty, and impossible to forget (especially after that one very steamy night that we are definitely not going to talk about).
Grayson—quiet, inked, and intense. He doesn’t say much, but when he looks at me? I forget how to breathe.
And Hunter—the grumpy team captain who made one thing he doesn’t want me here.
I said I wouldn’t get involved.
I said I’d focus.
I did not say I was prepared for late-night confessions, off-limits kisses, or the growing suspicion that I might not have to choose at all.
One house. Three hockey players.
All I have to do is keep it professional, avoid eye contact, and whatever I do, don’t sleep with the hockey team.
Yeah. About that…
Well That Happened is a spicy ‘why choose’ college hockey romance. This season? She’s the MVP.

4.75 rounded up!
What a hit!!! Reese, new fav author for sure!
These three had me in love.
Caleb was the sweet golden retriever of a man Rilee needed; he was the first into the scene, and he knew her heart would hurt if she had to contain herself around the others. He was so selfless and caring. I loved him and his heart.
Grayson...my favorite. I know im not supposed to play favorites, but his silent, caring, looking-but-not-talking ass got me. Plus, that man has a mouth on him...and a huge D...Heart.
Hunter was complicated; he had been in her life the longest, but always held himself back, to the point he started treating her like an inconvenience. I thought the fact that he had to see her happy with Gray and Caleb before joining was perfect; he deserved the time to suffer a little, and once he came in, the whole vibe felt perfect.
Rilee was incredible; she took the messy feelings in stride, and when she stopped overthinking and realized the guys and she were in it all the way, she thrived. Proud of her for doing what she had to do, what was right for her future, not proud because she didn’t do it for all the right reasons. But in the end, she's flawed, and I loved her more for feeling real.
Also…fuck Lexi, switching up when it’s not just funny-joke-haha anymore. Fuck you.
I did feel like Fletcher added nothing to the story, but he seemed nice.
Quotes:
Three hockey players. One tiny kitchen. Zero personal space.
Hunger isn't the word for it.
It's need.
"I'm tired of pretending I don't want this. I want you."
The sweetness is still there, but it's layered now—under something rougher. Hungrier.
"Grayson doesn't care if I kiss you. Do you, Gray?"
"Not at all,"
"You have no idea how sexy you looked riding me with your mouth full of Grayson's cock."
"Do you understand how hard it is for me? Being the guy who watches you fall, but not the one who gets to pick you back up again?"
Rilee isn't just a fleeting connection. She's becoming something more—for all of us.
The way they look at me like I'm something worth orbiting.
A kiss forged in years of longing, months of holding back, and weeks of watching her fall for people who weren't me.
"You're mine. Which means you'll take all of me."
"You said no touching. I'm just following the rules."
"Fuck it,"
She's the girl who stole my hoodie, kissed me breathless, and made me believe in things I swore I didn't need
She's my future.

Gloriously Inconsistent
If you need story that has any kind of continuity, this is going to be a massive disappointment. If you want a sports feel, that would be a hell no. Hockey is used as flimsy background point at best. When Rilee and her entourage are interacting, it’s high spice and warm & fuzzies with so much chippy banter.
But everything that makes you vested in the story will disappoint at some point. The nonchalant, dismissive way mental health is represented is offensive and irresponsible.
Rilee’s brother Fletcher gets a lot of head space but is only present for about 10 pages, and in a shady way, his story is super vague and really never comes to light. But he’s in a lockdown facility that revokes his visitation privileges but allows a weekend pass like 2 weeks later.
Ri’s bff Lexi is the worst besties ever, she’s has no respect or compassion for Ri’s feelings, mental health, or well being. She’s brash, abrasive, and absent.
The guys families are a bright spot, but Gray’s never make an appearance or explanation.
There’s boatload of careless, lazy writing that’s just sad. Just a few irritating gems- The team goes to a road game, and student athletes are on their own to find individual hotel accommodations - Ri’s exhausted and crashing after finals, then 15 pgs later she’s trying to keep up class work and taking her last final. That’s not how any college works EVER- Hunter is under pressure to prove he can make it in the NHL, his dad was a 1 season crash & burn turned insurance agent. Then when they meet his family, they live like old money.
There’s a lot of emphasis on chaos and that rings true, this is one chaotic mess with a few bright spots

This book was just pretty much smut from the start, when she first moves in with the guys. The sex with the guys seemed to be same as well. Each time they were together, it was the same lines and phrases etc. Now their personalities were all fun, great and kwirky. So, they all lived well together. Her brother, who is the reason for this book, in my opinion...was a throw away character, by how his arc ended. We don't hear about him after that, not even in the epilogue. He was apparently in a live in rehab facility, but author doesn't say for what. I assumed he was a substance abuser in some way, shape or form. The way it reads, when he has a really bad week apparently, so they can't see him. Their visit was spontaneous. Which wouldn't have been allowed anyway,as they would've needed pre approval for one, this way the facility could've called her ahead of time to let her know he wouldn't be allowed to see them. They also wouldn't have allowed him to stay overnight at the apartment with them. He might've had permission to just visit them, but he would've had to go back. That's how live in works. So, it's apparent that this author didn't do any research on this subject at all. He was also way, ott too protective of her. But whatever..the guys were fun to read where she was concerned. Meeting the two families was fun, especially Hunter's! His mom n especially grandma cracked me up!

I enjoyed the story of Rilee, Caleb, Hunter and Gray. There wasn't any dramatic angst, it was just a girl falling for three of her brother's ex-teammates while trying to keep her head above water during her nursing degree. I enjoyed the different pace for each guy's relationship, it made it more personal. The plot kept me interested and was a nice standalone read overall. Can recommend this as a nice standalone if you want a break from series!
You could feel the tension between Rilee and Hunter all the way through and loved that build up for their relationship development! Caleb's and Rilee's relationship was more attraction at first sight with it getting deeper meaning the more they were around each other. Grayson definitely snuck up on Rilee much like his personality, it was sweet and appeared out of nowhere. Hunter and Rilee definitely had the tension building between them for years and as someone who likes control, Hunter hated not being able to control himself around Rilee. Caleb fits the golden retriever personality perfectly and enjoyed his light, fun ways to make situations less tense within the book. Grayson definitely has the silent, speaks very little but meaningful and knows what he wants personality and it was really well done. I enjoyed each guy's personality equally and they complimented each other well.

First things first, what I liked. I really liked the characters. Sometimes in RH books it can be hard to differentiate between the characters, but it was really well done here. Each character feels like a separate person with their owns traits and such. If you've read a RH where that wasn't the case, you know what I mean. Also, the plot was great. I especially like towards the end where they had to really discuss how the relationship was going to work, not just that it magically did. It brought a sense of realism to the novel that I'm not sure I ever really thought about.
Now to the not so great, the timeline. It got really mixed up in places. Her brother's coming to visit that weekend, but suddenly it's Thanksgiving, then her brother's visiting the next weekend. Then, they're at Christmas together, but afterwards were finals, then a trip to a cabin. It all read like the timeline was hopping around. And unfortunately it really took me out of the story. Also towards the end with what happens to her (spoiler so not saying) but then the guys have graduation. Again, timeline was messed up. It might be a little thing to some people, but it really took away from my focus on the story.
Overall 4 stars because I really liked the characters and the plot but had to ding a star for timeline.

Plot: 3.5/5 • Spice: 3.5/5 ➡️➡️➡️ i rounded up for GR. This really is a 3.5-er. I did enjoy it. It was wholesome and fun, but I missed drama. There wasn’t enough.
Rilee’s apartment gives out. aka the roof caves in. Her brother Fletcher reaches out to his former hockey buddies and she graciously accepts their spare bedroom. Tensions are high instantly. She almost hooked up Caleb. She had a crush on Hunter for god knows how long. Grayson? He’s a mystery she wants to crack.
She’s very dedicated to finishing her nursing degree. But everyone deserves a break, right? She first hooks up with Caleb. Grayson next. She keeps those two for a while. Hunter fights left and right his feelings for her. He even makes obnoxious house rules.
Following an away game she went with them to. Hunter finally gives me. Now she’s got all three of them. And she is falling for them. However, she gets a notification that she’s been accepted to her dream job…in California.
After meeting families, sharing everything, crossing every line, and falling in love. She packs her bags, leaves notes for them and moves to Cali. The guys are heartbroken. But it doesn’t take long for them to go hunt her down.
A very HEA. Everyone’s back under the same roof. Blah blah bliss. Again, this was sweet and fun. Enjoyable pallet cleanse.

na primeira vez que eu li este livro (sim, eu li mais de uma vez, eu sou mt especial, eu sei) eu achei bem meh. nem fiz review pq a única emoção que me despertou foi cansaço, pois LONGO! sendo que eu continuei me lembrando dele, partes que eu achei engraçadas, partes interessantes......... e aí fui reler pra ver se eu descobria o que tinha me prendido tanto.
na segunda vez, eu achei ele bem divertido. amei como o quarteto vai se formando, até o doidão lá que fica implicando com a protagonista desceu melhor rs e o hot continuou sendo um ponto bastante positivo (isso eu já sabia desde a primeira vez que li). é um livro bem engraçadinho, cara, eu ri demais.
acho que o que me pegou da primeira vez foram duas questões:
1) é muito longo;
2) aquele final é muuuuuito arrastado e eu confesso que não me despertou muitas emoções, nem da segunda vez.
enfim, agora eu acho que o livro é bem legal, eu que sou chata rs
vale, sim :)

(...) Caleb corrects, trailing flour-dusted fingers across my lower back as he passes.toda hora tem uma besteirinha dessa e eu o que? AMO! as personagens são ótimas, a história é bem escrita, o hot é top e o drama é bem convincente.
I glare at him. “Did you just touch me with your raw-dough hands?”
“I touched you with love,” he says.

This story is quadruple POV, well written and edited, and a sweet and steamy, college hockey players/nursing student, forced proximity, reverse harem, contemporary romantic comedy. I empathised with Rilee’s stress levels and overload. I chuckled at her attempt to ignore how she felt for all the male leads and enjoyed seeing her relax into the relationship(s). I enjoyed Caleb’s relaxed, golden retriever approach to life, and his joy in the budding relationship and loyalty to Rilee. I enjoyed Grayson’s intensity and empathised with his historical trauma. I enjoyed the way he was so mentally and emotionally present once he committed. I empathised with Hunter’s complicated feelings, and enjoyed seeing him choose to engage with the others and his own feelings. I enjoyed the multiple intimate scenes with various male leads and Rilee. I enjoyed the building intimacy and the deepening bonds. I enjoyed the ending.

Well, that escalated hilariously.
Reese Calloway delivers a chaotic cocktail of romance, sass, and secondhand embarrassment so potent it should come with a warning label. “Well, That Happened” is basically the literary equivalent of accidentally sending a text meant for your best friend to your crush—and then doubling down with a meme.
The main character? A lovable disaster. The love interest? A walking temptation with emotional depth and abs. The banter? So sharp it could slice through your emotional baggage. This book is for anyone who’s ever tripped over their own dignity and landed headfirst into love (or at least into someone’s lap at a wedding).
Calloway nails the awkward, the adorable, and the absolutely unhinged moments of modern romance with humor that makes you snort-laugh in public and then pretend you’re just allergic to your feelings.
In short: It’s funny, flirty, and delightfully messy—just like real life. 5 out of 5 “Well, sh*t” moments.

This was so much more fun than I expected. Never read this author before, but really enjoyed their style. The story/plot was easy to follow, the characters had real and distinct personalities. I think I loved most how their polycule developed. It didn't feel forced. I felt like the real development of a relationship. The communication between them was great; you could never make this type of poly relationship work without talking to each other and making sure everyone is on the same page.
This isn't advertised as a rom-com but I was laugh out loud regularly. refreshing. Not all books can be reread, some you just read for the experience and move on. This is one I'll definitely come back to.

This is a why choose, slow burn romance involving MMMF. If you are expecting a fast read, this is not the book for you but I promise if you stay for the plot, it will not disappoint. Rilee is in nursing school and at the beginning of the semester when shes trying to get her life together, the worst thing happens, her apartment floods leaving her homeless. Her brother pulls connections for her to stay in the hockey house leaving her with Hunter, Caleb, and Grayson. Hunter being the most resistant at first because in his eyes she is the one he wants most but cannot have. However, Grayson and Caleb, begin to form a relationship with her and once Hunter finally gives in all bets are off. They know one thing, they would do anything to make her happy.

this book was so fun! i was giggling and kicking my feet🤭 the characters had so much chemistry i could literally feel it. i wish there was MM cause i thought that the guys also had such chemistry and i think it could’ve work really well in their dynamic. i also wish we had deep dived more into each of the characters back stories. if this book was maybe 50-100 pages longer i would’ve enjoyed it just a bit more because it would’ve hopefully been more details about the characters and their pasts. overall a 3.5⭐️ book i would definitely recommend!

Wow! Just WOW! Hang on sec - I need to go take a cold shower. Whew! Decadent and oh, so HOT!! Seriously, if I'd had that kind of situation in college, it wouldn't have taken 6 years and 4 majors to graduate. The guys are straight white knight hunks, heroes vanquishing period foes, and just so damned perfect! Is it just me, or might there be a pandemic of hot, hunky hockey sweethearts out there? Get thee to a comfy spot and get ready to be utterly swept away. And I inly wanted to slap Rilee a couple of times, so yeah! Superb execution. (biting lip emoji) SO GOOD!.

Rilee is a nursing student trying to graduate. The last thing she needs is for her apartment to flood and be forced into living with her brother's ex hockey teammates. Hunter, Caleb and Gray are focused on hockey but Rilee throws a wrench in those plans. The book is good about equal time with each boy and seeing them as individuals. Caleb is such a goofball, Gray is the quiet serious one and Hunter wants to stay away from Rilee. How can they live peacefully with so much sexual tension? This book broke my book slump and had me enthralled.

3.5⭐️
3 🌶️
This was a nice, low stakes, why choose college hockey romance.
If you don’t go into this with expectations you will be pleasantly surprised.
There are some issues with continuity which a good edit would help. Like Rilee finishing two sets of finals, Grayson knowing about Rilee moving in then the next page was unaware.
I’d have liked to know more about Rilee’s brother as he seemed to be such a focal point of Rilee’s story but you don’t really get to know anything about him.
There could have been more character growth with Hunter.
But like I said, it was a nice, fun read.

If I could give this a 3.75 I would- it’s definitely a good book and if you like the trope it’s worth the read 100%
It definitely wasn’t the best book I’ve read but it did also address aspects of this relationship that I find other books sometimes brush over. This was a detail I felt really enriched the story and made it easier to understand. I found specific parts especially funny and the romantic scenes were written very well. This definitely isn’t a plot heavy book which can be a pro or con depending on the mood/desires of the reader. It’s not the first book I’d recommend for this trope but it certainly isn’t the last either.

This book was okay. I didn’t enjoy it as much as i thought i would but maybe that’s just me as i don’t read that many why choose romances, but i just thought the full potential wasn’t being met. However, i really did like all 4 of the main characters and they did have good tension between them. I would recommend if this is the type of book you like to read and are just getting into why chooses!!
This author also knows how to write a book i really did enjoy her writing, so maybe i’ll try another book.

This book was such a fun read.
The loyalty and dedication to Rilee is so sweet.
I wish it would have been longer. The characters were developed and described perfectly. Brooding, golden retriever, affable. This is a great read and spicy enough it could make a person blush. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Plot - 3/5
Spice - 5/5

The three MMC all have a different approach, but they all support her through her stress while they form a relationship. Third Act break up with HEA

This fun page turner is a perfect sexy romance read for summer vacation (if you couldn’t tell from the cover art). Reese gives us that perfect level of plot to help Rilee, Hunter, Grayson and Caleb develop their relationships without it becoming to heavy to take you out of that relaxed vacation mindset.

Every girls dream right? Your apartment flooded and ending up with three hot hockey players? Caleb is such an amazing guy and he knows Rilee needs stability, love and he is gonna provide that. One way or the other. There are a few things I'd change myself but nothing that keeps from a very entertaining story. Loved it.

So good
A little long but worth the read. Rilee and her boys will lead you on an adventure, Caleb is the golden retriever who will make you laugh all the time. Grayson is the quiet one, in the corner taking everything in. And Hunter is the last to fall, but when does it is all bets off.

It's no secret that I love a good hockey romance. And if you add a 'why choose' situation, I'm kicking-my-feet giddy! Rilee has Grayson, Caleb, and Hunter to keep her company—one house, full of unspoken (but felt) attraction, even if Rilee wants to pretend that it doesn't exist.

This could have been a four star read but for the last half of the book the timeline went way off track. This was a major issue to me because things just stopped adding up. My favorite part about this book was the realistic ness that everyone was just up for it to automatically be a why choose situation. Everyone needed time to process and that to me was very realistic.

I was not expecting to enjoy such a intense book as I have never read something thus style before but it was such a fun read and each character had something to love, definitely spicy spicy and I was expecting the type of love triangle where she doesn't know who to love but this is definitely a different type of love triangle😅❤️🔥

I want more of these characters! I wasn't ready for the book to end. The chemistry between everyone was just spicy! The love between them was beautiful.

Rilee is awesome. I love that she lives a pretty simple life and then everything just starts going wrong and she finds herself in the middle of 3 guys who pretty much rock her world. Its got lots of drama, and spice and it was super fun and kept my attention. Really enjoy.
