REVIEW ➞ Holdout by Jaqueline Snowe

BLURB ➞

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… 


Yeah, Jonah Daniels was insanely, without a doubt, the sexiest man I had ever been with.


ARC REVIEW ➞

I absolutely loved this visit to Moo U!

Jonah is a hockey player for the university, he is focused on school and hockey and sticks to a rather strict schedule. He needs a roommate and puts an ad out, with only getting one response. Ryann is in desperate need of place to live and quickly answers an ad for someone looking for a roommate. Well, both Ryann and Jonah are in for a surprise when they find out they are roommates.

I loved these characters. I loved how Ryann brought out a different side to Jonah and helped him somewhat relax and realize that he can still have fun but be focused on all his goals. There was plenty of tension between them and loads of chemistry that was brewing throughout the story. Of course, they both fought it. Jonah not wanting the distraction and Ryann keeping a promising to her brother about not dating his teammates.

If you’re looking for a roommate romance with some hockey goodness this is one to check out.
