4 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
Scarlett “Scottie” Calloway built her career writing books about why women don’t need men. Romance? Overrated. Soulmates? A marketing ploy. The last thing she wants is to spend a summer co-hosting a romance book club with an arrogant, insufferably handsome hockey player who thinks he knows a thing or two about love. Immediate no.
Chase Remington lives for three things: hockey, winning, and pushing Scarlett’s buttons. He’s never met a challenge he couldn’t charm his way through—until her. The queen of anti-romance loathes him, and frankly? He’s having the time of his life getting under her skin.
But when a PR stunt forces them together, their battle of wits turns into something far more dangerous—an attraction neither can afford. She swears she won’t fall. He bets she will.
By summer’s end, only one will be right.
And if there’s one thing they do have in common?
Neither likes to lose.

REVIEW:
Kendall Ryan’s new grumpy-sunshine romance, The Book Club Boyfriend, was an engaging example of how even the most stubborn hearts can be softened by the right person. This story follows Scottie, a fiercely independent and romance-averse author, and Chase, an irresistibly sunny and charismatic professional hockey player who falls for her fast and hard. When they are forced to co-host a romance-themed summer book club, their initial clash of perspectives gave way to a surprisingly magnetic and tender connection.
Ryan gave a masterclass in slow-burn romantic build ups here by filling these pages with witty banter, laugh-out-loud book club antics and moments of genuine vulnerability that slowly chipped away at Scottie’s jaded exterior and revealed the depth beneath Chase’s easygoing charm. The forced proximity of their summer project allowed their chemistry to slowly simmer before it boiled over in spectacular fashion and transformed their reluctant partnership into a sweet relationship that felt hard earned and well deserved. Told in Ryan’s signature engaging and entertaining storytelling style, this enemies-to-lovers tale was a heartfelt and hilarious celebration of love stories. The Book Club Boyfriend by Kendall Ryan gets four smooches from me!
