A beautiful addition to those who are looking for a romance that includes the sports of gymnastics and hockey. I appreciate when there are sports romances that include a sport that is not commonly done as a lot of sport romances feel overdone, this was not one of these romances.

Zach Briggs blazed onto the Palmer City Wolves professional hockey team, winning over legions of fans with his carefree demeanor and remarkable skill on the ice. After surviving the sophomore slump, he’s determined to prove his worth and land a long-term contract with the Wolves. Finley Harris was in contention for a spot on the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team. When she pushed herself too far and suffered a medical emergency, her parents forced her to step back and focus on her mental health. Now she’s fighting for a comeback.

During the opening game of the most important season of his career, Zach is smashed into the ice and sustains a severe concussion. When he wakes up in his captain’s house, he’s stunned to see Finley—the girl he hooked up with two years ago. His captain’s sister. She can't afford any distractions while trying to revive her career, and he doesn't want to complicate his relationship with her brother. But neither can resist the attraction growing with every shared moment.

Yes! Another Kathryn Kincaid sports romance! I'm a huge gymnastics fan, and this is one of the few gymnastics romances that is well-done! I loved Zach and Finley, both individually and together. Highly recommend this one!

4 stars!

I jumped into this story without any expectations, I just know I love a good sports romance. I also hadn’t read the previous books in the “All In” series, but that did not impact my experience with this book. I was immediately drawn to Zach’s bright and occasionally awkward rambling; he is the definition of a golden retriever MMC. Finley complemented him so well, being serious and focused on managing her health and life, and it was obvious she needed Zach to help her find the light and happiness.
The depiction of mental health in this story is probably one of the best I’ve read in a very long time. I so appreciated the recognition of everything it takes to work through the changes in so many facets of life that occur when you have these symptoms or a diagnosis like Finley’s. I love the way Finley’s character (and her family too really) showed so much growth through a lot of daily effort, participation in therapy, appropriate use of medications, and relying on her support system to help her recognize changes.
Also, I will always support a romance book without a third act break up. Just saying...
I would also love to go back and pick up book 1 and 2 from the “All In” series to get to know these other fun characters more! I’m not sure who is the main characters, but I would assume Kennedy and Volk get a story and I need more of them for sure!
Go pick up this book if you enjoy the following:
-Sports Romance (hockey and gymnast)
-Forced Proximity
-Mental Health Representation
-He falls first and hard
-Dual POV
-Secret Relationship
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the author for this eARC. It was my pleasure to read this book and review with my honest opinion.
Release date: November 7th!

I loved this book!! Zach and Finley had such a beautiful relationship!! Their chemistry Is their Instantly from the first meeting! I loved how the author wrote about Finley's mental health and how she struggled and how Zach was their for her🥰 I also loved how she finally opened up to her parents about how she was feeling and how they truly tried to support her🫶 Zach and Finley where there for eachother throughout this whole book and you could tell they would truly do anything for eachother🩷

Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, and Kathryn Kincaid for an electronic ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Kathryn Kincaid, where have you been all my life??? This book is incredible! Sports romance is one of my favorite romance genres and I love it when both of the main characters are athletes.

Stick Your Landing is the third book in the "All In" series, but can be read as a standalone. The story is dual POV following the two main characters, Zach and Finley. Zach is on the same professional hockey team as Finley's older, protective brother. Zach and Finley have *quite* the meet cute and let me tell you, I was instantly hooked from the very beginning.

I absolutely love the characters in this book. I feel like Zach and Finley's characters are well developed. Things are not perfect for them and they both have their insecurities. These characters are relatable in that sense. It is the vulnerability and character development that sets this book apart for me.

I stayed up way too late reading this book, because I simply could not put it down. Stick Your Landing is perfect for fans of sports romance, mental health representation, found family, and supportive love interests.

I will absolutely be circling back to read the first two books in this series.

A sports romance book with life hockey and gymnastics? How could I not? Gymnastics is one of my favourite ever sports so I was so excited to read this! And boy I wasn’t disappointed. I absolutely loved this book! I loved the characters. They are literally 2 of the sweetest characters I’ve ever read and you can feel the chemistry so early on in the book. I loved how their relationship blossomed but also loved how the author wrote about Finley’s MH. It was so nice to read about a main character who struggles with her thoughts and to see a guy bring out the best in her so she feels so comfortable. They are so opposite but they work so well together by supporting and helping each other with their strengths and weaknesses. I love when Finley finally opened up in therapy to her parents and it was so needed. I love that Zach would do anything for her and was always by her side no matter what. I’ll definitely be reading more by this author!!

I absolutely loved Finley and Zach's story! Finley Harris, a spirited gymnast managing life with bipolar disorder, and Zach Briggs, a hockey player in recovery from an injury, are each fighting their own battles. Their unexpected friendship grows into something much deeper, creating a space where they can both feel truly seen and understood.

If you're a fan of golden retriever MMCs, forced proximity, or sports romances, this book is the perfect pick.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book was well written and easy to read. I love ice hockey romances and this one was great. It felt with a lot of intense issues such as bipolar and the trigger warning gave a good heads up. As a person with ASD and adhd this book taught me that sometimes we expect people to treat us differently and we assume how they are going to act but that’s not always the case. Say what you are feeling and don’t bottle it up. Learn to love yourself first. I needed to hear this and reading this book came at the right time. This book is amazing and has good representation. The only thing I wish was talked about more and dealt with was about body image. It mentions it briefly but I think it could have been talked about more.

4.5/5

Zach and Finley are just two of the cutest MCs ever. I just wanna bubble wrap them and protect them at all costs. How they fumbled through starting a relationship felt so realistic to their ages. Their love was so sweet!

"I'll never be easy to love. Relationships are complicated enough without adding my brand of challenges."

I rated this book 3.5 and I have to say, It was a really nice read! I was impressed with the care this book took towards things that could easily be miswrote or written in a way that was disrespectful but I feel like Katheryn did an amazing job handling this.

In Stick Your Landing our FMC Finley and Zach meet while attending Finley's brothers wedding after she was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder, and is in the midst of coping with her diagnosis and getting the appropriate medicine to balance her levels. She and Zach have a heated interaction and then we are flashed forwards two years later where Finley lives with her brother and sister in law, going to university and secretly training again in gymnastics, something that has been a hard 'no' from her family after her diagnosis. Enter Zach, a charismatic goofy Canadian hockey player who suffers a concussion and is needed to live with Finley and her brother (his captain) as he heals. With a mutual connection and attraction the two confined in one another and a beautiful kindship sparks to life.

Follow Finley and Zach as they balance one another like the beams that Finley practices on. The perfect Ying-Yang.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tropes:
- mental health rep
- Hockey/ Gymnastics
- Older brothers teammate
- Black Cat FMC & Golden Retriever MMC
- Friends to Lovers

Genuinely I adore this book & characters with all my heart. Finley Harris is a strong FMC & watching her navigate her mental health in a realistic way was refreshing to see. The family dynamics were frustrating at points, but again it makes it real, family can be frustrating. Zach Briggs is the sweetest MMC & quite frankly deserves all the love. It was so sweet to watch their friendship develop to more & how they supported each other & saw each other & accepted each other as who they are. I absolutely cried at certain parts with the mental health rep bipolar ll. This was written beautifully & realistically for some of the heavier topics. So happy I got to read this & it will deff be a book I pick up to read again.

✨Stick Your Landing: Review✨

Two driven athletes, an undeniable connection, the chance to have it all.

Just when I think her books couldn’t get any better than “Call Your Shot”, Kathryn Kincaid writes another book and I am obsessed all over again. I know I said this with the last one, but “Stick Your Landing” is definitely her best story yet.

“𝙸’𝚕𝚕 𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚋𝚎 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎. 𝚁𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚙𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚎𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚊𝚍𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚢 𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚜.”

I am so happy that Zach got his own story as he was one of my favorite characters from “Play Your Part”, the first book from the “All In” series. And there is no better match that I could have asked for than Finely. The way the two of them complimented each other’s personalities was fantastic. This story truly is a great example of a golden retriever MMC and a black cat FMC finding a balance in each other.

“𝓗𝓮’𝓼 𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽, 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓪𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝓮𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓼𝓸 𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓰, 𝓲𝓽’𝓼 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓘 𝓬𝓻𝓪𝓿𝓮 - 𝓹𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓵𝓾𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼. 𝓗𝓮 𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓶𝓮.”

We really get to see the depths of their characters within Kathryn’s writing. I almost felt as if Finely and Zach are people that I actually know in real life. Finley is as stubborn as she is accepting, strong willed as she is vulnerable. Zach is a hockey player with a heart of gold that would do anything for his teammates and the people he loves…including Finley.

I really do feel that it takes an incredibly talented writer to be able to write about mental health so well, especially something as specific as bipolar disorder. Kathryn did such a phenomenal job writing about how Finley lives with her bipolar disorder without it overshadowing her personality and her character.

“𝑰 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒚, 𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒔. 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆.”

This book is perfect for fans of:
✨Sports romance (ice hockey + gymnastics)
✨Brother’s Teammate
✨He fell first
✨He fell harder
✨Secret Relationship
✨Forced Proximity
✨Dual POV

Hands down, this is Kathryn Kincaid’s best book yet. I am absolutely obsessed and wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you so much to the author and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Stick Your Landing comes out November 7th!

I’ve always been into sports romance but this one was refreshing as they’re both in sports rather than just a reporter//sports person which made this book stand out to me.
The relationship is incredibly sweet, a story about love, hope, hard work and trust, if you want a sports romance with duel POVS and no third act break up this one’s for you!!

3.5 stars. this was such a cute and easy read. i've been getting into sports romances lately and the fact that both characters were sports players >> i also loved that mental health was a key topic of the storyline, the author did a great job incorporating it in the book.

thank you netgalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars! We finally get Briggs's story and I really enjoyed it. The beginning started out with a bang in the first chapter when they first met. The the story actually begins and to me it started out strong. I loved how their friendship really grew and how trust developed between them. The middle of the story is what made this book a 4 instead of a 5. It was good, and I didn't want to stop reading it just didn't have my attention as much. But my oh my, the end got me. I loved how healthy this book was when it came to communication and relationships between Zach and Finley. I also liked how it promoted therapy. I wish we saw a bit more with Zach's dyslexia since that part of the storyline seemed flat. I also don't know why we got the little side storyline with Halo unless he is going to be in more books? I loved seeing Gemma, Matt as well as Kenned and Volk from the first book. The friends dynamic was top notch as always. Overall, great read. Play your part is still number one for me but this is a very close second to being my favorite in the series. It had a ton of fun banter and such a cute story.

Thanks NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op, and Kathryn Kincaid for the free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On July 23, 2023, i asked the author on instagram if Zach was going to have his book… Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

I love how he's not your typical hockey dude with too much confidence! It's different and well written!

Also loved Finley, her perseverance & her strength! She stood up for her man 💥💥💥

It was funny & heartbreaking at the same time!

“You're so lucky I like you, Calder.” Don’t I fucking know it. 🤍

This review was posted on Goodreads on October 23rd, 2024.

3.5 stars!

„Stick Your Landing“ introduces you to two incredibly kind and determined characters, Zach and Finley. A hockey player and a gymnast. A golden retriever and a black cat. And he happens to be her brother’s teammate!



I was sceptical at the beginning, as I thought that the first chapter set the tone for the rest of the book - meaning it was going to be a very spicy book with little plot, but I promise, it is worth to keep on reading, even if you like little spice. The chapter makes a lot of sense after getting to know the characters better.


Zach and Finley meet briefly at her brother’s wedding and it instantly sparks between them however circumstances keep them apart. Fast forward two years and Zach suffers a concussion after a hit on the ice and is forced to live with his captain. It just so happens that Finley, the captain’s sister, lives under that roof too. Enter another well-loved trope: forced proximity, and watch the magic happen!



Their relationship is incredibly sweet, a story about love, hope, hard work and trust. I loved the bipolar disorder II representation and even though I am in no position to judge if it is accurate, it felt very genuine. The difficult family dynamics and the shift in their treatment of Finley after her diagnosis was frustrating to read at times but was very realistic and I felt like the author did it justice. It was heart-warming to see how Finley and Zach, both faced with prejudice and their past mistakes, kept supporting each other.

If you are looking for a sports romance with younger characters (they are both twenty-one) that deals with heavier topics without making it too sad, this one could be for you! AND it is Dual POV with no third-act break-up! :)



Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the earc!



Stick Your Landing is out November 7th 2024!

Finley and Zach are struggling in their own ways. Zach is injured and his team thinks he needs supervision because he can't be trusted to take care of himself. Finley is bipolar and her family watches her like a hawk, afraid she'll have another dangerous episode. The two strike up an unlikely friendship and find a person who sees them for who they really are.

Read if you like:
-Golden Retriever x Black Cat
-Hockey Player x Gymnast
-Mental Health Rep
-Cinnamon Roll MMC

Never has there ever been a spicy scene that has left me as feral as the one that Kathryn Kincaid has written into Stick Your Landing. It was hot and tender and made me cry just a little (happy tears of course). I don't want to spoil any of the set up (which is just about perfect), so you are just going to have to read.

I love Zach and Finley so much. They jump right off the page. They are real, and raw, and vulnerable. Their chemistry is undeniable and quite honestly goals. And haters of third act breakups will be happy to know that there isn't one here!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5
🌶️🌶️ 2/5
Tropes:
🏒 Friends to Lovers
🏒 He falls first
🏒 Sport Romance

Finley is getting her life back on track after a diagnosis halted her gymnastics career and Zach is recovering from a concussion at his teammates house when he comes across Finley, the girl he can’t seem to forget from two years ago and his teammates sister.

Okay first of all I loved Finley and Zach together they were so supportive of each other and while they started as friends it was inevitable they would fall for each other. Zach lets Finley take her time in revealing her diagnosis (that she fears will push him away) until she’s ready and for this Zach is officially book boyfriend material.

The all in series has been a hit after a hit and I really loved reading Stick Your Landing it was warm and genuine and really highlighted what healthy communication looks like in a relationship and you could really see that they respect each other and the supporting characters? Perfection.

A big thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and Kathryn Kincaid for the ARC

When I read the description, I was hesitant. I mean, I tried to read Burnout and we all know how that went (I did not make it in 30 pages), and so when this gymnastics book was on my screen, I said screw it. Thank I god I did because this? Amazing

Finely and Zach are actually amazing characters because I feel like they represent what a lot of people are actually like. Not uncommon, but seeing bi polar II represented in a book? I almost cried I was so excited. As someone that has depression, Finely's character made so much sense to me. I know we all joke about how we take on the personality of the main characters in the book, but I actually felt like I lived this whole experience. I was really inspiring to see her be so vulnerable, yet so strong.

As for Zach, you want a cinnamon roll, you got a cinnamon roll. Absolute perfection, leave him alone. He really isn't like the other guys...no really he isn't. Sure, he's a hockey player with an injury- been there, read that. However, he isn't super cocky, or stuck up, or immature at all. It's what we love to see in a mmc that just so happens to be rich, hockey player material. He wasn't affected by Finely's condition; he was more upset she didn't just tell him! When he falls first, girl he's in the bag for life.

Literally could not have been any better for me. Thank you SO MUCH to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the eARC!
