You simply cannot go wrong with a Becka Mack book. The spice, the banter, the humour- I was squealing and kicking my feet while reading.

Also, how stunning is that cover. A cosy read that makes you feel safe and I fell in love with every single character. The writing was just superb.

Yes!!!! Cat daddy!!
I loved this and will be purchasing the paper back. The cover is absolutely gorgeous
-forced proximity
- one night stand
- roommates with benefits!!!

I ate this up!

This book was everything! Becka Mack quickly became an instant read the minute I read book one in this series. The same spice and banter continued in fall with me, and it had me smiling, giggling, and falling further in love with every single character! Absolutely one of the best books I have read in 2024!

I knew I would love this read, Becka Mack writes some of my favourite romance books and each character and book makes you truly feel at HOME is the only way to describe it, the found family within these books is truly beautiful and heartwarming.

Jaxon is definitely now one of my new book boyfriends and a favourite MMC of mine 😍

I absolutely have adored the playing for keeps series so far so i was so excited to read the final instalment in this series. I have been so incredibly excited for Jason’s book and IT DELIVERED!! it was sooo good. This series and especially this book have such a huge found family trope which is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE tropes ever. The friend group is just everything to me i was smiling and giggling the whole book. I loved how much Lennon came out of her shell and how she found her own family with Jaxon and the rest of the friend group. I would 100% recommend this series if you love a good hockey romance series with an INCREDIBLE found family aspect. Thank you so much for the arc of this book!

All I needed to know about this book to read it was there was a bisexual and a cat. And I am NOT disappointed. BRB while I be a full time cat mom running my cats Insta because of this book.

So much banter in this book between all the characters, this book had me laughing and crying at different points.

With a point of views from Jaxon and Lennon, I am treated to an enemy- to-lover romance. I am not aware that this is part of a series and I still thoroughly enjoyed the story. If you are too, then be assured that Lennon and Jaxon's story is still easy to follow.

The title is quite apt, and you need to read the book to understand the beauty of the cover. Lennon is easy to love, while Jaxon is like a prickly cat who craves some connection yet wants to remain cool and aloof despite wanting closeness. Their dynamic draws you in as they work out the kinks...

and I totally... totally love the chapter titles.

Thank-you so much for the advanced copy of this book.
Playing for keeps is my all time favourite series ever. These books started my obsession for hockey romances.
I couldn’t wait to read Jaxon’s story, and when I got approved to read this arc I screamed !!
I LOVED THIS BOOK !! It was amazing.
It had me laughing and crying.
This series gives me a feeling of friendship, when reading these books it feels like I’m apart of the friendship group, like while you’re watching friends and you feel like you know them on a personal level. It makes you feel happy and warm inside.
I loved how Jaxon went from being grumpy to being a complete softy and becoming a part of the group, he found his chosen family.
I loved seeing Lennon come out of her shell and start living her life, she found love and happiness in Jaxon and the rest of the group.
I am constantly recommending this series to everyone I know. More people need to read these books, they’re just so amazing.
There’s not enough starts to rate this book and series. I can’t wait for everyone else to read this book.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars ♾️

Oh my God! What an abolsolute roller-coaster of emotions did I endure while reading this masterpiece!

Both Lennon and Jaxon are lost souls that have no interest in relationships. They both land themselves in the middle of the greatest book friendship group / family to ever exist, who help them learn its ok to love yourselves and others.

The group of characters Becka has created are top tier amazing to read about.

This story really stands out for me as one I'll remember because it didn't follow the standard "flow" a lot of romance books take. I really felt like I got to watch (read) and experience a far more detailed and elaborate evolution of both characters, Lennon and Jackson, through their own self worth, their friendships and the relationship they build with each other.

There were so many laugh out loud moments and tears all mixed in. Absolute stunner of a read!

"For those who think they're better off alone, that they're not worthy of the love they crave, because they've dealt with the pain of people leaving".

The Playing for Keeps series has got to be my absolute favourite, because Becka Mack writes the best love stories and friendship groups! This has got to be my favourite of the series. The dynamic between Jax and Lenny is top notch, and the fact that they already hooked up on her honeymoon night (don't worry, it's not a spoiler!). I laughed, had a few tears and wished I had a few toys like Lenny!

Not only is this a story of roommates turned lovers, this story brings so much more depth with Jax's character and self-worth development and a friendship group we all want to be part of!

Becka Mack is a new to me author, so I didn't know what to expect. But hockey dudes? Gimme.

I enjoyed Jaxon and Riley (though, I am a bit over the man ho / inexperienced slash virginal woman. Not just with this book and author, but in general. Been over it since FSOG really lol)

I did enjoy that he stops his ho-ish ways right away. I did enjoy that there was more to Jaxon than just the hockey player, and I liked his back ground story with his best friend etc.

Lennon I liked for the most part, there were a couple of little things that irked me, but that is going to be a me problem.

I have not read the books about the other players, so I did miss some of the nuances, but I liked them enough to go back and read their books in the future

Big thanks to NetGalley for the early copy!

I didn’t think it was possible to like a character more than Carter in this series but Jaxon comes pretty close. Normally insecurity drives me insane but in Jaxon it was endearing. Also, huge shout out to Mittens, the real star of this book.

This book probably could’ve been 100 pages shorter and the story not changed much but the banter and found family aspect of the characters is so good that it never felt like it dragged. The best of this series so far I think.

This might just be my new favourite in The Playing for Keeps series. I didn’t think that anyone would be able to knock Garrett out of the number one spot but along came Jaxon Riley, Cat Daddy.

Lennon and Jaxon’s story moves from one night stand, to frenemies, to roommates to lovers and I absolutely loved the progression of their relationship. They compliment each other in every way, him a broody but deep down very sensitive man and her head strong woman learning to accept the romantic love she deserves.

What I wasn’t expecting from this book were the tears. So many emotional moments dealing with grief, feeling unvalued, unlovable and replaceable and Becka writes about it in a way that had me reaching for the tissues.

One of my favourite things about this series is the group chats and the dynamic of the boys on the team. Their banter and jokes are, as always, amazing but their ability to flip and be sincere always gets me right in the feels. I don’t think I’d feel right if I didn’t bring up Mittens, the little ginger sidekick who was a chapter stealer for sure.

This book had me laughing out loud, swooning and crying. Becka Mack really knows how to write a book and I can’t wait for Emmett and Cara’s story.

This is Book 4 of the Playing for Keeps Series!

I was lucky enough to receive as an ARC 🥰

Fall with Me is a steamy, captivating romance that will have you hooked from the first page to the last. This standalone novel in the Vancouver Vipers series combines witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and heartfelt moments, making it an absolute must-read.

Jaxon Riley is a man of simple pleasures: roughing it up on the ice, charming women post-game, and being the ultimate cat dad. Relationships? Not his forte. Enter Lennon Hayes, a woman on what should have been her honeymoon but is now a solo vacation, trying to mend her broken heart. When their worlds collide at a resort bar, sparks fly, leading to an unforgettable one-night stand.

Lennon’s plan to start fresh in a new city takes an unexpected turn when she lands a job as the Vancouver Vipers’ new photographer. Little does she know, the scowling defenseman across the room is none other than her one-night stand, Jaxon. With neither of them looking for anything serious, their professional and personal lives begin to intertwine in unexpected ways.

Mack’s storytelling is brilliant, blending humor and heat seamlessly. Jaxon and Lennon’s journey from adversaries to lovers is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with delightful banter, undeniable attraction, and moments that tug at your heartstrings. Jaxon’s tough exterior hides a caring, loyal man, and Lennon’s resilience and wit make her a heroine to root for.

Fall with Me is a perfect blend of sports romance and emotional depth. It’s not just about the intense chemistry between Jaxon and Lennon but also about their growth as individuals and together. This book will make you laugh, swoon, and fall in love with the characters and their story.

Whether you’re a fan of hockey romances or just love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, Fall with Me delivers on all fronts. Becka Mack has crafted a tale that is as heartwarming as it is steamy, leaving you eagerly turning the pages. Don’t miss out on this electrifying read!

This is the first time in a while that I have cried while reading a book.

I honestly could have finished this in a day, but there were a couple of times that I had to put it down just so I could process. I wasn't expecting it to be so emotional.

It was also adorable but not quite as spicy as I was expecting. Jaxon had so much character development. I’m so glad it wasn't an “I can fix him”; he fixed him so he could be happy. He also deserved her the whole time, and I think that made me love it even more.

I'm a gift girlie; they are my love language, and Jaxon has raised my standards.

I really enjoyed this book and went through it so quickly. I was all in my feels and love the found family trope that continues in this series. The banter is top tier and these books always have me giggling.
Look, I’ll be honest, there were some flaws in this book (like tulips being gifted in a household with cats? Tulips are toxic!! And also the transition between scenes). But I overlooked it because I just love this series so much.

Thank you NetGalley for this pre-published version. I would have given this 3 stars but the ‘c’ word threw me out of the story. Geez, I hate that word. There is nothing wrong with this story, it just didn’t grab me. Other readers might enjoy this but it just isn’t for me.

🌶️ So much spice, king of 69 😽

Becka Mack literally NEVER misses. Gosh I freaking loved this book. I had missed these characters soooo much and my god it was so nice being back in their world.

Jaxon the king of 69 is perfection. I had been obsessed and anticipating Jaxon’s book (Jason 😝) from the start and he didn’t disappoint. Learning his story really hurt and it was hard seeing Jaxon hurting.

Along came Lennon the beautiful strong woman that she is thank god she left her ex “PIECE OF MOTHERFUCKING SHIT” because 🤢 From the start I just loved her, she knew what she wanted and she gave shit back to Jaxon, exactly what he craved.

The chemistry between these two was 😮‍💨 The spice was immaculate and this is definitely Becka’s spiciest book to date, Becka served as alwayssss 😌

As always the found family was so strong in this and I seriously love all these characters so so much. I CANNOT wait for Cara and Emmett’s book!! 🥺

In conclusion I laughed, I cried but above all I was so damn happy reading this book. Jaxon is definitely the number 1 spot. This man deserves the world and it was so nice seeing him find his person 😭 Anyways I love this gang and Becka served. I would highly recommend this series and cannot wait to read about them again 😻

Thankyou so much to @netgalley and @simonschusterau for the ARC 🫶🏼

💜 Fall With Me by Becka Mack 💜
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️

Jaxon Riley Is exceptional at three things: starting fights on the ice, picking up women post-game, and going home to fulfill his role as the world’s best cat daddy.

This book had me in a chokehold, I still haven’t recovered. Becka Mack has absolutely outdone herself yet again 🥹 I am still in utter disbelief that Jaxon has become my no.1 Playing for Keeps man 🫢

I can’t explain how invested I am in the world & characters Becka has created, she is truly the queen of writing hockey romances & found family. Thank you so much for giving us our lil PFK family 🥹🫶

This book is perfection, but if you need more convincing:
- NHL Player x Team Photographer
- Roomies with Benefits
- Cat Daddy
- Found Family
- Witty Banter
- Frenemies to Lovers
- Man obsessed
- Written by Becka Mack!?

Fall With Me releases 31/07, don’t forget to preorder your copy!! ✨🐱🍯🌷💜

Thank you so much for giving me the honour of reading an arc of Fall With Me 💜💜

Cat daddy Jaxon with all his abandonment issues in full force and sarcastic smutty book loving photograph Lennon as his match.

I adored this book, it started really slow for me but picked up around the 60% mark. I could not get enough of these two.

And the Britney bitches assemble was a delight to see. Love the bromance element.

I have really enjoyed this series and this book was no exception.
