REVIEW - Holdout (Moo U #3) by Jaqueline Snowe

The Book

Release Date: 15 February 2021

Jonah Daniels has enough work preparing for his hockey season without spending time interviewing a roommate to help share expenses. So when some dude answers J.D.’s ad and agrees to his terms, he puts a key under the mat and leaves for practice. 

What he doesn’t expect is that his new roommate is not a dude at all, but an overtalkative, energetic hottie. What’s worse? She’s the younger sister of his friend on the team, and she’s sworn him to secrecy.

Ryann Reiner needs a place to live, stat. After an incident at the dorms that almost tanked her scholarship, Ryann wants a boring roommate who’ll leave her alone. J.D. almost fits the bill. He lives and breathes hockey, just like her brother, and he wouldn’t know a joke unless it hip checked him against the boards.

He’s also gorgeous. And broody. And he looks fine on laundry day, in too little clothing. Soon, late-night study sessions turn into dangerous flirting. And then a kiss turns into more. But they’re determined to keep things in the feelings-free zone. 

Until lines blur and tensions rise when Ryann’s brother learns the truth. And both their hearts are skating on thin ice...

My Review  4 STARS

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book in the series carries on with a member of the Moo U hockey team from Vermont.  In this book we have Jonah, a serious boy who does not mix much with the other members off the ice, but has extreme focus when he is there and a big team player.

Ryan is the sister of another player and answers an ad for a room to board in when her dorm roommate is still smoking weed and drinking.  Things like this could get her scholarship in trouble and with no parents and only her brother, this would spell the end of college for her.

As always if this pair talked about their feeling they would see that things change for each other than just a hook up when it finally happens.  Both are made for each other and bring out the best in each other and open up about their families and their fears.

A good read and i would love to revisit all of the characters so far in the next books.
