Carter Beckett is the NHL's resident badboy, top player both on the ice & in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexist man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He's arrogrant, self-centered, and the man doesn't seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He's had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I'm up next. His only problem? I have no intention of falling for his shi-um, charm. Consider Me by Becka Mack was published in March 2022. This is first book in the Playing for Keeps series.
This was an odd book to say the least. It's one of those books where you like bits and pieces but don't know what is missing. I felt that way with this book. I felt like the characters Carter and Olivia were not very rounded characters. I didn't feel like they could possibly be a real person (which I know they are not.) But most good authors try to make their characters feel like a real person. That means they have good parts to them and they also fail. I felt like they were a little one sided. The plot started off slow but then it picked up and I enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed some of the friendships in the book. Though I did think that the relationship was rushed. It's a decent read, so I recommend checking it out.
