The Forbidden Freshman

Nolan U Hockey, Book 1

He lost a bet. Now, it's no girls for a month… until he meets a sassy freshman who just might be the girl of his dreams.

What can I say? I got cocky. One drunken bet and now I've gotta go girl-free for a whole frickin' month.

A bet's a bet, though, and now I have to man up and take it… but it's gonna be impossible after last night. Ever since I saved that sassy little freshman from a carload of sleaze bags, she's been under my skin. It's not just the fact she's a hottie. It's more about the fact that she didn't bat her eyelashes or flirt with me. If anything, she insulted me to my face and told me she could take care of herself.

And now I'm hooked. I couldn't get enough of that tomboy trash talk and now I want to know everything about her… including the secret I'm sure she's hiding. But I need to steer clear, right? I can't go falling for some girl and reneging on this bet. The consequences could get me kicked off the team… but there's something so addictive about this girl.

I have to have her. I have to make her mine.

The Forbidden Freshman is a standalone, slow-burn, new adult hockey romance with no cheating and a guaranteed happy ending. Perfect for fans of Off-Campus by Elle Kennedy, Lakeside University by Avery Keelan, and Maple Hills by Hannah Grace.

Decent story with spice

Story was okay but the male voice is not good, too whiny at times. Also, falling in love as a freshman in college is a little “puppy love”. Would have been better as an older college woman. Lots of spice though

Unbelievable Mother Pucker

I’ve never read this author and she did not disappoint. I think the narrators were okay, but maybe when the author is a little more well known she will be able to afford more well known actors. The story was interesting. The bets made were childish but necessary for the story to flow. This girl’s mother was a real piece of work. Sex was okay, I am actually excited to read the next story about Rachel and Liam!

Eh

I’m having a hard time getting thru this book. One month celibacy is nothing. The characters act like they have no choice in anything. Fmc can tell her mom and her fck buddy to take their money and shove it. Same with Amy. Ethan can go on a date with a girl without getting his 🍆 wet. They all act like they’re in middle school and not college.

This was believable

This book was awesome! Loved everything about it. The family dynamics were relatable and honest.

The playful love they instantly fell into.

I like that they experienced self doubt and made mistakes along the way. Not so perfect.
Loved the way he loves her and was able to quickly get over what she'd done to hurt him even if it wasn't as it seemed. Sweet characters that fell hard and fast before even knowing what hit them.
