What a lovely change it is to read a romance novel in which the characters are actually together for the majority of the book. So often these days, we spend the majority of a book waiting for a couple to get together and then the epilogue is the only place that we get to find out how they actually get on sharing their lives. Consider Me allows the reader to experience the full picture of Olivia and Carter’s relationship, while still playing with the flirtatious banter and vulnerability that comes with getting to know a new partner.
I have wanted to read this series for quite some time because I heard that it was a very realistic hockey romance. I have to say that it did not meet my expectations in that way. I would have preferred to have seen far more of Carter’s day-to-day than we did, like training, his coach and the rest of the team, etc. Though I loved getting to know Emmett, Adam and Garrett, it would have been great to see more of the team and how they interact, as well as Carter’s responsibilities as captain.
Consider Me is playful, emotional, and heart-warming. Olivia and Carter both grow so much as people through this tale, learning how to open themselves up and trust other people. It’s beautiful to read. Carter’s journey, in particular, from playboy to being downright obsessed with Olivia is so sweet, and watching Olivia learn to accept his love is just gorgeous.
I wouldn’t say Consider Me is the most gripping story I’ve read recently, but it is by far one of the most real in terms of how the characters interact and progress. I especially love Adam and I hope we get to see him get his happy ending as the series progresses.

I liked it. Sometimes you just wanna read a romance where they're obsessed with each other and happy. They are that for most of this book. It was only a tiny bit eye rolly during the third act breakup with a guy who literally doesn't do a single thing wrong after chapter one and, imo it's kinda cringe to propose at someone else's wedding even if they say it's okay.

This was amazing! I was so enthralled by Carter! He is the perfect book boyfriend!
His actions and thoughts actually carried the overall story! There were times that I just couldn’t wait for his POV to come up.
Olivia, to me, seemed like a sidekick to the story. Which is crazy to say about our actual h. It’s just that, after awhile I really didn’t care about her thoughts unless it had to do with Carter.
That’s the main reason it didn’t get a full 5 star from me, but will definitely be in my favourites.
Loved the drama and I was on point on most of the foreshadowing! 😜
But overall loved it & will reread again!

"She’s like…waking up on Christmas morning when you’re three years old and you finally understand what it’s all about. She’s the moment the rain stops and the sun comes out, lighting up the sky with color, and everything smells new and fresh. She’s the first skate on a frozen lake, surrounded by snowy mountains and pine trees and the freshest breath of air. She’s rolling over in the middle of the night, pulling that warm body into yours and curling around it, and everything’s just right."
It's easy to fall into the charms of one of the biggest hockey players there is, especially ones that look like Carter Beckett. On the outside, he's everything you assume about your stereotypical jock... Gorgeous obviously, arrogant, self absorbed, and the biggest playboy. Everything he wants he gets... except for Olivia Parker.
Olivia doesn't have time for Carter's playboy antics and flirting. As pretty as he is to look at, there's no point, because he doesn't do relationships. Ollie is hanging on by a thread, trying to resist him... but his charms and big heart are making her consider him...
__________________________________________
THIS BOOK WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EXPECTED. Kudos to Becka Mackfor being the first author to make me cryyyy while reading a hockey romance.
I loved these characters. ALL OF THEM. Carter is your classic reformed playboy and I loved it. I have never read a more lovesick, sappy, swoony, golden retriever man in a book. He is ostentatious (which he proudly owns), gooey, hotter than sin, and so in love with Olive it's insane. I adored Olive.. She is fierce and takes no bullshit.. especially from Carter. Her constantly putting him in his place is hilarious. I wish the fact that she is short is talked about less.. it gets a bit old after a while, but either way I was able to get over it. I really appreciate that a good majority of this book is focused on them trying to build a relationship, and the chase didn't drag on for too long at all. It was genuinely just a great story about them falling for each other.
One of my favorite parts about this book, is the dynamics with all the characters. The boys are the team are IDIOTS. And I mean that in the most endearing way possible. Their antics are so funny, more than often juvenile, but they really do love and support each other. I am just waaaaiting for Adam's book. Cara is literally the ideal best friend, she is badass. But my absolute favorite side character is easily Hank. Carter's 80ish year old best friend. Their relationship will bring tears to your eyes and fill you with so much love.
This a fantastic sports romance>, it has everything you could ever want great side characters, a big found family, golden retriever MMC, and so much spice. I love this and I cannot wait for the rest of the boys stories.
