I picked up Becka Mack's Consider Me after seeing it recommended. With hockey romances all the rage, I had to check it out.
Carter Beckett is a hockey star and notorious playboy with a reputation—and an apartment downtown just for his hookups. Olivia, on the other hand, is a PE teacher and girls' hockey coach whose best friend, Cara, is marrying a teammate of Carter’s. Cara gives Olivia one piece of advice: steer clear of Carter.
But the chemistry between Carter and Olivia is off the charts. Half the novel is Olivia doubting Carter’s intentions while Carter works overtime to prove himself. The other half? Pure passion.
Overall, the book is a bit long, but I still enjoyed it. Carter’s determination to win Olivia back was charming, and I loved their dynamic on the page, along with their circle of friends. I never fully understood the popularity of hockey romances, but I have to admit, these guys are big, strong, handsome teddy bears. Plus, the high school scenes and Olivia’s interactions with her students were a great touch—really well done.
In terms of plot, I’d give Consider Me a 3.75. It was fine, if slightly repetitive at times. But the heat level? Scorching. This book is doused in so much kerosene it practically bursts into flames—five out of five on that front!
