Review | Consider Me by Becka Mack (Playing For Keeps #1)

---

Synopsis

In the sizzling hocky romance that has taken Tik Tok by storm, the ultimate player turns romantic to charm the woman he is desperate to win over.

The first book in the globally popular Playing for Keeps series.

For a shot at love, he’ll do whatever it takes…

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s best player – both on and off the ice. His career is at its peak, his friends are performing better than ever, and there’s no shortage of women to spend the night with. What more could he want?

Olivia Parker isn’t new to professional hockey players, thanks to her best friend’s boyfriend, but she has no interest in dating one herself – no matter how hot he is. And anyway, she loves working as a teacher and hanging out with her best friend – drama-free. Why would she want to spend her time stroking the ego of an arrogant athlete?

But once Carter meets Olivia, he can’t think of anything else. Too bad for him, Olivia is hellbent on keeping him at an arm’s length, with no intention of giving in to his charms. Perhaps it’s time for Carter to up his game…after all nobody said he had to play fair.

Sparks will fly as Carter does whatever it takes for Olivia to consider him.

My Review

Consider Me is about a girl who attempts to resist a playboys attention in order to avoid becoming another notch on his bedpost.

Consider Me was a great read. It was sweet with equal parts extra spicy – heck the first page made me question what genre I was about to start reading.

I did find the ending pretty underwhelming. The build up to their “breakup” was really big but the conflict didn’t reflect that – it fizzled out and then they got back together.

I cringed at the proposal at the best friends wedding and their eventual shotgun wedding.

The characters were great. The relationship between Carter and Olivia felt natural and comparable to how a real relationship goes sometimes – time flowed really fast but their relationship – despite the overall instalove feel, felt like a slow burn relationship – exactly how real love happens – because it can take forever or you can fall hard and fast.
