Taking the Shot, Book 1

Ellie

Before my junior year at Lincoln University, I promised myself three things. Just three.

One: Actually dig into the whole sorority girl bit.

Two: Stay away from athletes.

Three: Seriously, stay away from athletes.

When Professor Taylor posted our chem midterm partners, and I got stuck with the captain of Lincoln's Ice Hockey team, I was sure I'd be able to abide by rules two and three. After all, I was immune to Leo's whole "hottest guy on campus" thing. I grew up with him—my brother's best friend... Who I've been obsessed with since I was eight. F me.

Leo

Senior year. Captain of the hockey team, already engaged to the NHL with the perfect union months away. My whole life mapped out ahead of me. All my dreams have come true—Except for the one with Eleanor Rhodes.

That one's reoccurring, starring her in nothing but my number and that perfect little blush that shows up every time she looks at me. No biggie. I've worked that one out... In the shower, numerous times.

I never had a reason to get any closer than her Instagram until Professor Taylor assigned us as chem partners. The one girl on campus who shouldn't be on my radar, yet she somehow seems to be the only one.

Storyline

Great story, good hurdles in the story. Good spice. Great characters. Author does a good work with detail.

It was good but WTF

The story was so good but then it just ended abruptly. We don’t know what Elly’s dad thought of her results, what team Leo ended up on no epilogue no nothing I was really disappointed

4 stars if your into “Greek” “University “ life otherwise 3.5 stars

Overall, good story, great narration. However, it is probably best enjoyed by someone college age. Lots of sorority talk and characters of that nature. The characters were great and likable. The story hit lightly ( as a moment not the main event)on a very serious college problem and I like how it was handled. This was included for free in the plus catalog and I have mixed feelings about paying for the next one but I am considering it.

Good Story but

The ending was abrupt. You’re not told what he wants or what happens. I assume that’s to get you to continue the series. We don’t know what happens with the couple in the future. This is more immature than a typical college sports story. The MFC can’t do anything without drinking. It was an ok listen but I definitely wouldn’t have paid for it and will not continue the series.

A happy ending

Given the time spent and the over-all timeline of the book. It’s long. Should have ended sometime but was extended yet no conclusion?
Still a good listen if you can’t find anything.
