A refreshing take on a trope that's been done and done again. Overall, the story is pretty lighthearted with terrific wit, and the author's use of sarcasm is right up my alley. We also get some great chemistry between Cam and Olivia, including plenty of steamy goodness. In the beginning, I wasn't sure I was going to like Cam, He's that guy, the one who always gets his way, is good at everything, and has no concept of failure. However, as the story progresses, it's impossible not to fall for that charm and cocky attitude, especially with the amount of personal growth for our sexy playboy. Game On winds up the Aces Hockey series, but does stand on its own. And props to the author for including some exciting and nail-biting game play in this sports romance. Kelly Jamieson has knocked it out of the park with this one, and I'm excited to see what she comes up with next.

4 stars!
I love all of Kelly Jamieson's hockey romance books and I loved the Aces! I am sad that this is the final book in this series. I did love Cam and Olivia's story though! They were super cute from the start. 2 peas in a pod. Neither wanting to fall in love, and not knowing what to do when it happens. They were funny and quirky together and it made me fall in love with them!

I love this series and this installment is no exception. For me at least, at nine books and counting, the Aces hockey series is wearing well.

Hockey star Cam meets cute with reluctant heiress Olivia, who runs a struggling non-profit organization bringing health and fitness to kids. He wants to win a bet with his friends involving dating Olivia; she needs a spokesperson to up her organization's profile. They have magical dates that end in catastrophe of the hilarious type and I enjoyed reading about these less-than-perfect steps on the road to their inevitable HEA. There's even a cute dog, never a mistake in romance.

This being Kelly Jamieson, there is a little bit of social justice teaching, this time a short scene on toxic masculinity, but that's better than the mini lecture in another of her books on trickle-down economics. I rarely agree with her when she takes these tangents but that's not necessary to enjoy her story-telling. Just sayin'.

The ending almost reads like a family reunion as we catch up with characters from throughout the season (and the spin-off series, Bayard Hockey). It's a great payoff for fans of the series. Highly recommend.

ARC supplied for an honest review.

Endearing characters, provocative plots and steamy romance have made this a very appealing series, even if the reader doesn't like or understand hockey. Game On is the final book.

Except for Cam Brickley (Brick) most of the Chicago Aces NHL hockey team now have wives or girlfriends, and Chaser, Brick's best friend, wants his buddy to be happy and find a woman to love. Some of the couples came together because of a bet, something the guys love to do, so Chaser bets Cam "You can't see the same woman for two months in a row without falling in love with her." Then Rico adds "I bet you can't pick up that hot blonde over at the bar." And so his two friends set the stage for Cam to find love, if he is not afraid to recognize it. The "hot blonde" is Olivia Lockwood, heiress to Lockwood Industries. She has been burnt by guys using her to get to her family, had to fight to build self confidence in a very competitive family, and is not looking for love. She wants nothing to do with the family business and has used part of her trust fund to start a children’s charity, Move On Chicago, which she thinks he would be the perfect spokesperson for. While they start out, looking to use the other person, as they spend more time together, confess the reason for the first day, they find they want more than just friendship. In addition, the author adds a fascinating oral tour of old Chicago.

I received a free advanced copy of this book from the NetGaalley.com. This is my inbiased and voluntary review.

The socks I received today pretty much describe this book perfectly.. “Oh hell yes!” I loved every page from beginning to end. So hot and entertaining! I didn’t want it to end. An epic read that you’ll want to read over and over again. Would definitely recommend!

This is the final book of the Aces Hockey series.
I enjoyed this sweet and sexy story. Cam and Olivia meet because of a bet. Olivia not knowing about the bet at first decides to use his sports celebrity status to help her kids foundation. Their first encounters were very entertaining. Comedic situations happened during their first dates which were fun to read. Cam's flirting with Olivia was so funny and sexy. She kept calling him a 'perv' with a smile on her face. I thought it was sweet that Cam liked to make her smile. Though the relationship did not start honestly you could tell they began to care about each other early on.
I have not read the previous books, but the author did a good job in introducing those other characters without it feeling overwhelming. I am interested in learning about the other hockey players and the women who tamed them.

I absolutely love Game On!
Get ready hockey romance fans because this is a fantastic story, with characters that you will love and moments that will have you laughing.
What starts as a bet among those tough hockey plays ends with Cam having his legs pulled out from under him by the sweet and sassy Olivia! The same is true for Olivia. She doesn’t want another relationship after the last one she experienced, but slowly Cam works his way into her heart.
Their first couple of dates don’t exactly go smoothly but those moments seems to bond them from the beginning. They have fun together and simply enjoy each other’s company. Yes, they definitely have chemistry, but they really have so much more to offer each other than that.

Taking a bet is probably one of the worst reasons to introduce yourself to a woman/man, but that is exactly what Cam does. He believes that there is no way he will lose the bet, because he doesn't fall in love, and he only has to date her for two months. A piece of cake. Olivia has sworn off men due to her ex, but when she realizes who the man that asked her out is, she accepts. He can help her and her nonprofit organization.
Their first day goes horribly wrong, as does their second. Even though she has gotten his agreement to consider helping her by being a spokesperson, she can't seem to stay away from him. She believes that they can remain just friends. Until they kiss.
As they spend more time together and get to know one another, things start shifting and Cam ends up confessing about the bet. She gets upset, but agrees to help him win. They make an agreement that they will stay together and end things at the end of the two months. Two months doesn't seem like long, but as he does more and more things that let her know his cocky attitude isn't all it seems, she starts falling. And hoping.
When the two months are up, will Cam want to continue or will he walk away? When she confesses something to him and he reacts in a negative way, will she give him a second chance? Why is Cam the way he is (he says he can't fall in love). The reason is actually sad, but is it a true assessment about his feelings? Will Cam realize that he does love her and try to make things right or is his past too much for him to overcome?
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

When his teammates issue the bet of all bets, Cam Brickley knows it's one he has to win or he will never live it down. They want him to turn in his Lothario card, and take on a more respectable stance when it comes to the ladies, you know, keep the same one around for two months straight. Cam gladly accepts the bet, cause he is certain that he won't be bitten by the love bug, but then again he never expected to meet a woman quite like Olivia Lockwood.

The moment these two meet the sparks start to swirl, but they are both determined to not let love in, so they try to keep their feelings under wraps. It's just two months of fun they have to endure, to stick it to his teammates, and then their done. Seems easy enough right?

Game On is a sexy little page-turner that is certain to awaken the feels, give a nice little tug on the heartstrings and have you smiling throughout! This can't miss addition to the Aces Hockey series had me hooked from the first page, these determined lovebirds wandered on to the page and I couldn't help but get wrapped up in their journey. They had me giggling and swooning from start to finish! Highly recommend you get yours hands on this one, it's pages are filled with humor and heart!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

I’ve never read anything by this author before so I didn’t know this was #8 and the final book in the series. I actually really enjoyed it. I didn’t feel lost not having read the previous books so that was good. Cam and Olivia are smoking hot together and I loved her non profit company that she runs. There were a lot of great moments in the book. I also liked the writing, I finished it in a couple of hours. I might even check out the other books in the series, some of the other players had me all kinds of intrigued.

This book was a cute easy read. Although some of the moments were a bit predictable it was still The perfect book if you are looking to escape reality with a cast of likable characters and laugh out loud moments.

Game On (Aces Hockey, #8) by Kelly Jamieson Oh my... Kelly this is the best one so far...Thank you so much to the publishers and #NetGalley for letting me preview this book. Cam and Olivia ... he hates to loose and she never felt like she measured up to her brother and sister.... they are perfect together...this books has all the laughs, the fun game of Hockey( and since I live in Clearwater, Fl is was fun to have Tampa Bay Lightning in the story) some history and very steamy sex getting to a very HEA. ( and lets not forget Magnum) I am so looking forward to more books in this series.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Entertaining Easy-to-read Page-turner Romantic Happily Ever After Steamy Action-packed Wonderful characters Funny

To prove that they are wrong, he approaches a beautiful blonde at the bar, with legs that go on forever. Inviting Olivia and her friends to join him and his friends so they could get to know each other.

What she never expected to happen was to fall in love with Cam. Can she be honest with him and share her feelings, or will he turn around and hightail it out.
Great story! So sad this is the last Aces book since I’ve enjoyed each and everyone of them!

If you’ve read one of Jamieson’s hockey romances before, you know what you’re going to get - a hunky hockey star attracted to a woman with an interesting career. He thinks it’s just a hook-up, but of course it turns into a lot more. That’s what we have here in the last of the Aces Hockey series. Cam Brickley accepts a bet from his teammates that he can’t date a woman for two months and also not fall in love. So he picks the sexy blonde in the bar for his gambit. You know where this is going. The only bits of surprise are that Olivia Lockwood also wants to use him to be a spokesman for her non-profit to provide exercise programs for underprivileged children. And when he finally tells her about the bet, she is hurt but still agrees to stay with him for the two months so he can win the bet.

Otherwise, things proceed about as you would expect. It’s fun and hot professional athletes are always enjoyable romantic heroes, no matter how clueless they are.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

This was a bittersweet read for me, because I love the Aces so much. I actually just discovered them last year, and then binged the rest of the series in 2018. I am really happy I did, because I enjoyed getting to know this team, and also, being a part of the this final chapter with them.

It's sort of fitting, that Jamieson chose Cam as her last Aces hero. Being a commitment-phobe, he was the last player we expected to see dedicating himself to just one woman. He didn't do commitment. He didn't like taking chances on things he wasn't sure he could ace, but once he opened the door to Olivia, it was game on. And, all it took was a bet.

I wasn't sure about Cam, after having met him in previous books, but with him the central focus in Game On, I got to see that there was a lot more to Cam than met the eye. I saw his sweet and considerate side, his dedication to his family, and big heart. There were all these little things he did, that made me, as well as Olivia, love him more and more.

Olivia was great too. Growing up the daughter of a very powerful family, she had been used and misled one too many times, and was now hesitant to trust her heart. That coupled with some self-confidence issues created by her past and the way her family treated her made watching the evolution of her relationship with Cam very gratifying.

The combination of Olivia and Cam was fabulous. There was the attraction and heat, that I always like to see crackling between my hero and heroine, but I also loved how fun Jamieson made their interaction. Their first few dates bordered on rom-com, and I absolutely loved it! But, I also adored seeing them get beneath the surface and expose so much to each other.

It was not just the romance, which won my heart in the book, it was the wonderful farewell Jamieson gave to this group of guys. It was a fond farewell to all the couples we saw get their HEAs. Everyone was in attendance, and the finish was big and very, very satisfying.

I will miss the Aces, but look forward to what Jamieson has in store for us next.

Overall: Another fabulous Aces book, that was about taking chances, and the rewards you can gain when you open yourself and your heart.

Competitive does not begin to explain Cam “Brick” Brickley, he will pretty much bet on anything. So when his team mates bet him that he can’t date a woman for two months without falling in love. He snatches the bet up without hesitation. This should be an easy when since he doesn’t do relationships. One bad relationship in the past is all he needs to understand his bachelorhood is everything.
Everyone is out for something; that’s been Olivia Lockwood’s experience at least. Her family is famous and wealthy and most men who date her are only interested in getting in good with her family to make a name for themselves. When Hockey Phenom Cam Brickley flirts with her and asks her out, she can’t quite figure out why, he’s famous and rich all on his own. While she can’t figure out Cam’s angle, she’s got an angle of her own. She needs a big name associated with her organization and Cam’s as big a name as any.
Okay, I absolutely adored these two together. They were hilarious! From first date food poisoning to broken chairs in restaurants, the laughs kept coming. Only problem, there were times when the story dragged a bit. When I first started reading I figured I’d read it straight through and not be able to put it down unfortunately I had to stop reading and come back to it a few times.
What I really liked about this book, very little angst. Both Cam and Olivia have their agendas and when each one finds out about the other’s they work together to help each other out and along the way, well……. they just happened to fall in love!
This may not have been my fastest read but it was most definitely fun and enjoyable.

Game On is one of the best books in the ACES series. Cam and Olivia have heat from the start but also have a friendship develop that is kind and respectful. They may have gotten together because of a bet, but the bet (or finding out about it) didn't drive them apart. It was a refreshing change that this lie didn't tear them apart. I thought this was a fantastic wrap up to the ACES series.

What a fun read! It all starts with a bet, Cam"s teammates throw up the challenge that he couldn't date a woman for two months without falling in love--easy for Cam the commitment phobia, a few dates and he moves on how hard could two months be, right? Olivia is blowing off steam with her coworker friends when this drop dead gorgeous guy comes up flirting with her, yep, her! What stroke of luck is it that he also happens to be Chicago hockey team, especially when she needs a celebrity to endorse her charity? When they have fun despite the fate of their first date, Cam figures the two months was going to be fun but Olivia just came off a bad relationship and didn't want to jump into a serious relationship--but two months of fun times together, nothing serious, right-after all it's about winning a bet. Fun banter, great characters and steaminess make this a great read!

Pro hockey player Cam Brickley is a manwhore who can't resist a bet so when his teammates bet that he can't date the beautiful Olivia for two months without falling in love, it's game on. Heiress Olivia Lockwood is done with men after being used for her connections but dates the handsome Cam so that she can ask him to be the spokesperson for her struggling kids' charity. When Cam confesses to Olivia that he asked her out on a bet and wants to end the bet, Olivia tells Cam that they should hoodwink his buddies and continue fake dating, then end things when the two months are over. What happens when Cam and Olivia start falling in love?

Game On is a funny, sweet and steamy story that's an emotional roller coaster ride

Now here's a bet worth losing!

Cam makes a bet with his teammates, but he can't win without losing. Olivia is a terrific partner for him, as she challenges him on every level really makes him work for it. Their dates were certified disasters, yet they made the most of their time together and proved that the unconventional ways are sometimes the best. These two really bring out the best in each other, and their love story was sweet and steamy.

The author beautifully wrapped up the storyline for the Aces in this book. If you've read any of the books in this series, you don't want to miss this one. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
