Sadly, Brenna experiences this first hand when trying to enter the field she eventually wants to work in. In this story we really see a lot of people in the sports industry be very nasty and hold some very misogynistic views. Like, there were so many elements that made it so sexy, but it was amazing. And they are both the perfect amount of hard and soft, I’m not even going to hint at it, I’m just going to say this: this book has the best sixty-nine sex scene I’ve ever read. Plus, we have seen the chemistry between these two characters brewing for so dang long, and even when they are disagreeing on something, their banter is perfection. But it is the perfect set up for Brenna and Jake’s paths keep crossing as enemies, even if they can’t stop thinking what it would be like if they were lovers. Which, Brenna obviously doesn’t listen to, even if she isn’t really romantically interested in the other Harvard player.

I know we’re probably going to be facing off with Briar in the conference finals in a few weeks”Īnd Brenna and Jake’s paths cross when Jake meets up with Brenna to tell her that she is being a distraction to one of his players. I know you would take any opportunity to mess with my players’ heads. He has signed with the Oilers for the next season, but is trying to win it all his last year in college, and cannot risk any distractions for him or his team. ➽ Jake Connelly – Captain of the Harvard’s hockey team, and already all-star. Plus, she is focusing on getting a jumpstart with a hockey news internship. Even though she has had some awful things happen in her past, she is strong, confident, and isn’t going to let anyone boss her around. ➽ Brenna Jensen – Daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, and a bit of a bad girl. The Risk perfectly plays with the enemies to lovers trope, but also adds the fake dating element, and I was truly living my best life while reading this story.

Reading this was pure joy, and my biggest complaint is that I wish we had an extra epilogue, because I want and I need more. And The Risk was so sexy, so funny, and so phenomenal. I hope she continues to write them forever. I’m not sure what the world has done to deserve Elle Kennedy and all the amazing stories she keeps giving us set around this hockey team, but we are so damn blessed, friends.
