First Impressions
Good Boy is the first book in a duo series and in Good Boy this is where we get Blake's book. If you are familiar with Jamie and Wes than you know how colorful of a personality Blake is. I was so excited when I heard he had a book and I instantly went after this one here and I am so happy that I did because Blake's book was everything that I could have hoped for and more. It also really emulated everything you would come to expect from Blake and what his love story would be like. Everything sexy and adorable all wrapped up in one package of delicious writing that only these two can do when they get together. There is something about how these authors write when they write together that is so gravitating.

First Line
Even though the restaurant staff has already done its magic, I'm fussing over the dining table one more time.

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Blake Riley
Professional NHL player, lover of animals, has tons of energy and is close to his family. Big boned and muscled but loves to play and be the "life" of the party.

The Heroine: Jess Canning
Always on the hunt for "the career", feels she has disappointed her family, but is finding herself in Nursing.

Summary
Jess and Blake had a one night stand when her brother was sick, and ever since neither of them have been able to forget that night. But Jess is determined to not screw up her brother's wedding and then she runs into Blake once again and is reminded of what they once shared. But she knows Blake, he has flair and drama and she doesn't need him ruining her role as a event planner. Blake Riley is determined to win over Jess, he can't stop thinking about her and wants more of her, but she is being stubborn. but through a course of events, they both end up in the same city and come into some scenarios where they have a fake relationship but soon they start to build their own relationship without even realizing it. But Blake is determined to show Jess that he is serious about them being together.

What I Loved
There was so much to love about this book and sincerely and truly I had a blast with Blake. I just loved seeing him in the "Him" series and in this one here we see how much of a trooper he is here. And even though previously we have seen him with so much drama and flair and has such a colorful personality, but in "Good Boy" we see him with such a colorful personality and its such a blast to see. I was laughing all over the place with his fun shenanigans especially in trying to charm Jess into her panties. But when he does get in them....he definitely knows how to please a woman that is for sure. But we also get to see the heart of who Blake is. He has such compassion and is such a rock with his family and he also has a tough past of being betrayed which is why he hasn't been in a serious relationship since Jess.

Now Jess was a true delight to read if I am being honest. I admired her heart and her drive to find her passion even if she has to make a ton of mistakes first. I loved how she isn't afraid to have new sexual experiences and can be spontaneous on occasion when the need arises. She has her own backbone and stands on her own with Blake but at the same time, when he needs a listening ear, she is always there and constant and steady. She has such a balanced personality in how she treats others and I really admired that she deeply. There is a bit of tension for her as she figures out her nursing degree and if its something she wants to do. But Blake really helps her find her path through it all and it was so endearing to see that. And then the reveal to her brother was delightful, when Jamie and Wes react to Jess and Blake being together?? PRICELESS!! I bookmarked it even so I can reread it later down the road haha

And the ending was the sweetest part of the story, there was something so unique and fun about seeing these two together and the development of the relationship on a emotional level was poignant and heart wrenching as we see the true heart of Blake and Jess and how right they fit for each other. And Jess makes a fabulous WAG. Just sayin'

What I Struggled With
Nothing. Loved every minute of this one here.

Overall View
Good Boy is a book of delight and depth. Its a story to entertain, make you laugh out loud, and give you all the feels in the most unexpecting moments.

Favorite Quote(s)
His need to protect. To make everyone happy…” Even if it means sacrificing his own happiness, is the unfinished sentiment. And my heart clenches painfully, because I know it’s true. As over the top as Blake is, he lives his entire life for other people.

“Embrace the nutty, J-Babe. Move in. Study for your tests on the couch with the puppy. Sleep naked in my bed.” I take a step closer and touch my lips to hers. “You make Blake Riley Smiley.”

Steam/Spice Explanations

Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes. ( )

The best description for this book/series in 10 words or less:
"Girl figuring out life finds herself attracted to hockey player."

The main female lead, Jess Canning, should be a comfort to a lot of people. She hasn't really done anything in her life and she hasn't really found her knack for something. She feels like a failure when it comes to seeing her other five brothers and sisters with their successes. She just wants to be able to say that she didn't depend on her parents for her success. She is very strong as she doesn't run away or give up while she is in nursing school and continues to fight even through uncertainty. I wasn't a fan of Blake Riley's character at all. He's very immature and the way he acts reminds me of a high school student.

This book really concentrates on hockey, and the way the characters act in this is exactly how I have seen hockey games. People act a little crazy at these games and try to encourage the players to play a little too rough.

The novel states the LGBT issues by showing Jess's little brother, Jamie, get married to one of the hockey players, Wesley, at the beginning of the book. Their relationship is seen throughout the novel.

In general, I did not like the writing style because it felt like there was there were two different writing styles happening at the same time. This is probably because there are two different authors who wrote this book.

I absolutely loved Good Boy by Sarina Bowen. Ever since falling in love with these characters from the Him/Us series, I've been waiting to read Blake and Jessica's story. It did not disappoint. I love the writing and dialogue from these authors. I can't wait to read the next story in this new series.
I would gladly recommend both of these authors to anyone looking for a great contemporary romance book.
Happy reading...enjoy! ( )
