The Play by Elle Kennedy

The Play (Briar U, #3)

by Elle Kennedy

What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate…no matter how hard that makes things.

But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie—my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.

Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.

And she’s making a play for me.

Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.

Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body—and my heart.

Elle Kennedy strikes again! She wrote a fabulous romance for Hunter and though he didn't really need any redeeming, he wasn't my favorite character in this series but I still adored seeing him really grow into the person he would be for the rest of his life. What a fabulous character and I thought Demi was a fabulous heroine for him. This book is my kind of book. So much fun, so much steam and just all of the good things.
