Josh and Sara meet when he guests on her podcast. Neither of them have ever heard of the other, Sara knows nothing about hockey and Josh knows nothing about influencers. Neither is prepared for the instant connection. It makes for a great interview but also makes it hard to say goodbye when the microphones turn off. They are both busy and successful and have no time to date, not to mention that Sara is all about spontaneity and Josh loves a good plan to stick to. How could this ever work out?

I have said it before and will say it again, I love a good hockey romance so I was thrilled to curl up with this one. This was a well written book that made me laugh and had me crying as well. I love that Sara was quirky without being over the top.Sara and Josh really communicated and supported each other in their careers which I appreciated. I do wish that Josh’s issues with a former friend had been resolved differently after being so built up but that is a small quibble. I cannot believe I missed the first book in this series and will have to rectify that.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Very entertaining read, humor, steaminess and feels this has it all! Josh and Sara are total opposites he is a planner she likes jump into new experiences. Josh has had his routine changed when he's traded from his Texas hockey team to New York, everything is out of his control. Sara is known for her fun and impulsive video blogging. After meeting on her podcast, they both feel a connection, neither one expecting anything but friendship quickly latches on. Fun scenes, great banter and wonderful characters make this a great read!

I have read almost every Kelly Jamieson book out and I think this series has been middle of the road for me so far.

This was a fun book. Laugh out loud at times as the characters are down to earth and while they have issues, they balance each other out so nicely. If you are looking for a little steam, a bit of laughter, and a great romance, look no further :)

Once again Kelly Jamieson has given us a story that tugs at your heart & but also makes it sing. Her love & knowledge of hockey shows through on every page written, as well as her love of wine. I always enjoy reading he stories because she grabs my attention right from the beginning & doesn’t let go of it even after I’m finished reading, I still want more. This story is no different with Josh & Sara both strong independent people but both who have emotional problems that sometimes tend to tie them up in knots. I loved Sara’s quirky personality & Josh’s rigid have to have it planned out personality. Their chemistry was definitely off the charts & hit combustible their first time together. I loved the drama & growth that they brought out in each other. Definitely well done. Thank you to Loveswept & Net Galley for letting me read this book for an honest review.

Another great hockey story by Kelly Jamieson! This opposites-attract story is delightful from the very beginning. I love how these two learn from each other how to compromise and be better together. I do wish Josh and Easton could have come together sooner but loved how Lily and Sara brought them together. This is a feel-good must read that you will truly enjoy!

Josh gets traded to NYC from Dallas, and meets Sara during an interview podcast. Both have issues, both feel sparks. A fun and quick read that was hard to put down. Skimmed over the multiple sex (a little excessive for me), and felt they should have built a stronger foundation first (again, just me) but overall a good story. Would highly recommend this book, author and series.

I LOVED Josh and Sara’s story! These are two people who have issues like all of us, and Kelly does an amazing job sharing each character’s personalities and what they have had to battle through in their lives while bringing them together. I could not put this book down and it provided a great stress release with all going on around us. You won’t want to miss it.

Loved this book. It's sexy and hot, with engaging characters. I loved the quirky characters and thought their backstories were interesting and added depth to the story.
If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. The author is on my must read authors' list.

I loved You Had Me at Hockey. The entire thing was adorable. Sara was this funny, impulsive, down to Earth chick that made me laugh so hard. She brought out the best in Josh. Josh (of the Heller family for those who have read that series) was this slightly grumpy, uptight hockey player. He lived by his plans and it was fun to see him unravel with Sara by his side. These two  had serious chemistry and their banter was hilarious. They played so well off each other. I also liked the realities the two faced pertaining to their pasts. It was easy to identify with both of them.

You Had Me at Hockey was truly a great, heartfelt romance. Most of all, it made me laugh and smile. It's going down as one of my favorite sports romances from Kelly Jamieson. I want more like it.

I like this series, but I don't love it as much as I do Kelly Jamieson's other series. This one is tamer. I liked Josh a lot. He seemed to be the hurt but yet sweet. Sara was meh. Just ok. I wished I liked her a little more to make me like their story more.

Josh, “Hellsy”, was just traded to the New York Bears. Not only does he not handle change well, but he also now has to play alongside an old friend who abandoned him in a time of need. When the team signs him up for a podcast, he meets a girl who just may be able to bring him out of his comfort zone.

Sara is famous for her down to earth and honest YouTube videos and Instagram page. When she impulsively invites her podcast guest to lunch, the two seem to surprisingly enjoy each other’s company, even with their polar opposite personalities. Eventually, they find themselves relying on each other more and more as they both attempt to navigate through their insecurities.

This was such a sweet and down to earth type of book. I enjoyed the first book in this series and I enjoyed the glimpses of Easton and Lilly. This book has a natural flow and their relationship develops organically. It’s not a book filled with angst or a super crazy storyline, but instead, it’s written in a way that feels so normal.

Sara is a youtuber who also has her own podcast. Josh is a pro hockey player. They meet when he is asked to do an interview for her podcast after being traded from Dallas to New York. When she asks him to lunch after he is more shocked than anyone that he agrees, and that is just the beginning!

While maybe a little too graphic for me, the love story was amazing and beautiful. I loved Josh and Sara together and I appreciated the hockey aspect of their relationship. I thought some dialogue like Sara's fan interactions were a little too cliche but overall, I really enjoyed this book.

Whenever I get my hands on a new Kelly Jamieson book, I should know better than to try and get anything done that day. Sara is an influencer with a very popular YouTube channel and a Podcast. She tries not to show things as shiny and perfect - but as real, open, honest, funky, and silly. She's been almost entirely focused on her job for the last six years. Her publicist sets up an interview with Josh Heller, new team member of the New York Bears, and she and Josh really hit it off. Josh is a member of a big time hockey family (hellllooooo Heller family - I've really missed you!) He was also involved in the tragic bus crash that killed many of his teammates and critically injured him. Since that time Josh has been all about control. He doesn't like surprises and he likes everything planned and totally known in advance. Sara is 100% the opposite of that. She is spontaneous and truly vibrant. They are very much an opposites attract situation.

I loved that Josh gave Sara the support she needed to stay true to herself and her style. He really grounded her. Sara, in turn, gives Josh the emotional openness he is desperately in need of and a little touch of controlled chaos.

Overall - this book just made me happy. Even when I was crying over some of the incredibly emotional moments - I was just glad I read the book.

I do want to put a content warning on here about some unexpected content <spoiler> the death of a child from cancer. Its beautifully written and important to Josh's overall arc as a character.</spoiler>.

Overall - I have been loving this and I am hoping for at least another book about Josh and Easton's old friend Hunter (at least). I'd love to read about some of the other teammates too - the brief glimpse we had into Red left me very curious!

If you love hockey romances (like me) - this is definitely one for you!

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

Ever since his near-death experience, Josh had an aversion to spontaneity. He liked to plan things in advance and would rather his life be predictable and boring than filled with unknown surprises. During a podcast interview, Josh met Sara. There were sparks, and the two immediately clicked, but she liked to live by the seat of her pants. Will Sara's impromptu ways keep Josh from giving her his heart?

I was really looking forward to this book after finishing Must Love Dogs...and Hockey. There, I learned a bit about Josh's backstory as it related to Easton. These two had been avoiding the fallout following the accident for many years, and I loved that fate brought them back into each other's lives so they could fix what was broken. This was a small part of the story, but I was glad to see it dealt with, and there's a part of me hoping we get the third friend from their past in the next book.

Now the romance! I adored this couple from the very beginning. Sara helped Josh break a few of his boundaries, while he helped her get more focus. They were simply fantastic together. Their first date was definitely, um, memorable, but it only got better from there. There was chemistry and banter, but there was also some real deep discussions, where they bared their souls. Lots of fun and feels with these two.

Both Josh and Sara had some baggage to unpack. Josh carried a lot of resentment and fear following the accident. I would say Sara helped a lot with him accepting the unexpected a bit better, but the person who helped him work through his emotions related to the accident was very special. I am warning you, this person will make your heart both burst and break.

Seeing where Sara was in her life, it was hard to believe what she experienced in her past and in her romantic life. She was a social media influencers with a large following, who was best known for being real. She didn't filter, edit out the mistakes, and had no issue being seen with bedhead or no make-up. Regardless, she still struggled with feelings of inadequacy. She felt she was "too weird" to be loved and couldn't understand why people followed her. It was good to see her gain some confidence over the course of this story, and honestly, there was nothing not to love about her.

I had such a great time watching this lovable grump yield some control and take a chance on love. It was wonderful to see these two people learn to mesh their lives without losing parts of themselves and be better for it.

This is the second installment to Kelly Jamieson's Bears Hockey series and showcases one of the things that makes her a fantastic author- great characters. I loved Sara. She's a social media influencer and she gets the opportunity to interview Josh, a hockey player who was just traded to the Bears. She's the total opposite to him- totally open to new experiences, a bit wacky and fun and oh so sweet. She defines spontaneity. Josh is, well, not. He's all about rigidity and being prepared for everything- with good reason due to his past. Together, they make an odd couple. But they treat each other so well and I loved to see Josh opening up to new experiences. I loved how they supported each other. I smiled through most of the book although there were a few poignant moments when I was crying. Initially, I have to say that I didn't see the "spark" between the two but that quickly evolved because of how well they treated each other. And then I wish Josh opened up more but the end was more than worth the journey. Definitely a 4.5 stars book for me. Thanks to NetGalley and Loveswept for the early read.

This is a strange review. There are things that this book does extremely well (addressing virginity, having sex scenes where one character says, “this isn’t working for me”,and the characters handle it well, addressing male vulnerability, building likeable and interesting characters, good hockey scenes). These things are great and made me really like the book! But then I didn’t quite ever get why these two characters were so drawn to each other. It’s told but not shown. And Kelly Jamison is a good enough writer that I’m not sure if there was something that was supposed to register for me that didn’t. But I kept being told, “they have a connection!” but I didn’t really see it outside of the great sex scenes. Not a bad read by any means; I enjoyed it! But I wanted the connection between Sara and Josh to be stronger. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions are all mine.

WOW!!!! Kelly Jamieson did it again. If you enjoy sports romance, this one is for you. I loved this story. Very entertaining, funny, heartfelt, and steamy romance story. The two main characters, Josh and Sara compliment each other perfectly. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend this book.

I received an advance copy from NetGallery for my honest opinion.

This was amazing. This was Enchanting! This felt true and inspired.
I loved every second of this story.
Sarah is fun and quirky. Her raw honesty is inspiring. Sarah could be any of us. Even as she battles her depression, she isn’t afraid to keep reaching out and trying new things. Five years ago Sarah’s depression was so debilitating she left college and moved home. Once she was stable she knew that she could not stay in that world. She took a chance and moved to NYC. Using her Vlog as a way to connect in the world. Her Vlog has made her famous, and with it you see her true self and raw honesty. She isn’t over editing or trying to be something she isn’t. She eats the cookies off the floor! Sarah is a character who has depth and so much to offer the read. Her insights into her world is as if you are looking at some of your own hang ups. Her thoughts and reactions were genuine. She is the kind of character you connect with on so many levels.
In comes Josh Heller. This man likes order in his world. He likes things to be neat and tidy. He doesn’t do anything on a whim. Being traded from his Dallas team to the NYC Bears was such a huge gut punch for him. He isn’t handling it well. Coming face to face with one of his former teammates is not a happy reunion. Instead it is creating stress for him and effecting his play. Josh meet Sarah while she is interviewing him for her podcast, Random Acts of Sarah. They hit it off and a causal invite to lunch leads to a fun read.
Kelly Jamieson is an automatic yes read for me. I love her stories. Her heroes are always these tough guys, but they seem to have a magical ability to bring the swoon when they need too. I will say Jamieson should stick to writing romance not poetry! But the Natures Seaman poem lead to some great laughs and had me reading it out loud to my husband! This was a 5/5 read. I am sure I will be reading it again. Because a man who knows the exact shade of pink you love and the cookies that bring you joy deserves to be read a couple of times.
