Making His Play: Steamy Forced Proximity, Surprise Pregnancy Hockey Romance

Making His Play is a well written sister's best friend/friends-to-lovers romance story with a great storyline, wonderful characters, a bit of drama, humor, witty banter, off-the-charts chemistry, and plenty of steamy scenes. I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

This is an incredible fun and sexy sports romance by Mari Carr. It is well written with strong main characters who are childhood friends. I loved the humor, emotions, intrigue and development of Charley and Alex's relationship.

This book was just pure fun, from beginning to end! It hit all of my favorite boxes, in one amazing book (best friend's older brother, sports romance, fake/real wedding romance) Charlie and Alex were a wonderful, full of laughs couple that totally made my day! Charlie is coming out of a really bad break up. And she really doesn't want to face her ex and his new fling. But her bestie has a really great idea.....maybe. Charlie sees lots of complications with the plan, something she could do without. Somehow, she gets roped into her bestie's shenanigans, and finds herself going to a wedding with a hot hockey player! And things just get crazy from there! Alex is a determined bachelor for life. Relationships, commitment and marriage are definitely not for him. When his sister asks for a favor, he balks. He remembers fun, tomboy Charlie. Boy, is he in for a surprise! I'm not sure what I expected from this book. I knew going in that I enjoy it, based off of previous books by the author. I just didn't expect to love the characters so much! I really related to Charlie. She was real, right from the beginning. And Alex, even though he is a pro hockey player, had real feelings, real reactions, real thoughts. Together, their interactions were steamy, but still had an element of comedy, which I love. It was definitely one I enjoyed, and would tell anyone who enjoys romance with a twist to pick up!
