SYNOPSIS:
Hello, rock?
Meet hard place.
Recuperating from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation.
But I’ll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship.
We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me—which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles.
She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time—this time with her.

REVIEW:
I am loving Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series so much! Each book has been fresh, fun, original and sexy, and I can’t get enough of these hockey players and their feisty women! The friends-to-lovers trope is a favorite of mine, and Ryan has been combining that theme in these hockey romances with tremendous success.
Asher is sidelined with a few injuries while the rest of the team heads into the playoffs. He wants to head home for a family reunion, but the team requires that a nurse travel with him to oversee his care. In steps recent medical school graduate and his friend, Bailey, who after four years of medical school and on the cusp of starting her residency, could really use a vacation. Heading to southern California to hole up at Asher’s family’s beach house sounds good to her.
I loved Asher and Bailey – their chemistry, their banter – but it was the way that their flirty friendship caught fire that kept me tapping my Kindle. Asher and Bailey’s romance was sweet, swoony and seriously steamy, and I devoured it in a single sitting. Five smooches from me for Crossing the Lines by Kendall Ryan!
