Description

"Sweet and sexy with a delicious side of hot and dirty. Kendall Ryan pens another swoon worthy hockey hero who will undoubtedly melt your heart. - Helena Hunting New York Times bestselling author ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation.

But I’ll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship.

We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me—which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles.

She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, I find my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time—this time with her.

Your favorite hot jocks are back with an all-new standalone novel. If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series is for you!

(Books can be enjoyed in any order.)

    It was a sweet story, but that’s about it.

    I LOVE the fact Ms. Ryan writes stories with very little drama and the two main characters actually communicate their feelings instead of dragging it out. Bailey and Asher are explosive together along with witty banter. A refreshing page turner that should be read.
  • Asher & Bailey Are the Sweetest

    In looking back at my reviews for the previous books in the Hot Jocks series by author Kendall Ryan, I have to smile. It seems that each successive book about these sexy and talented hockey players is my favorite one of the series, and CROSSING THE LINE is no exception. Asher's and Bailey's story is a sweet and sexy friends-to-lovers read that gave me exactly what I wanted, and left me smiling. All of the guys in these books have that sweet side hidden behind their sexy, sweaty, hockey-playing exteriors, but Asher's goes even a bit deeper. His love of family and pretty quickly evolving realization that he's more than ready to put away his fast-living playboy ways to focus on a relationship with Bailey make him one of my favorite Ice Hawks of them all. That Bailey is written as a successful and self-aware woman is a definite plus for me. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it, although she's a little bit more of a hard sell in the relationship department than I was expecting. Between the hecka chemistry and the real friendship that she and Asher share, there's just no way that love won't win. CROSSING THE LINE is a sweet and sizzling read that warmed my romance-loving heart. And, although teammates and friends from earlier books make their appearances, it can be read as a standalone, and will delight, no matter what. If this series isn't already on your TBR, it should be... ❤️

This is a Must Read book The bonus from Kendall in Ashers word we’re great.

    This is the fourth book in Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jock Series and it is incredible. Each book is it own standalone story. This is Asher and Bailey’s story. Asher and Bailey are in the same friend group but have never spent one on one time together until Bailey volunteers to be injured Ashers doctor so he can go home to celebrate his Grandmother’s birthday. They feel very comfortable with each other and realize they have very sizzling chemistry. I loved this story and the characters! This book is filled with heart and heat!

    Bailey is getting ready to start her residency. When hot, injured hockey player Asher needs help she can’t resist going with him. Great chemistry and romance. I liked how Asher was not the player he seemed. A perfect alpha with a soft squishy center. Bailey was assertive and knew what she wanted. Asher’s crazy family was a great setup for the story. Wonderful continuation of the Hot Jock series!!!
  • Fun, sexy and fabulous friends to lover’s romance

    Fun, sexy and fabulous friends to lover’s romance. Bailey’s life is very focused as she works to become a doctor. Asher finds himself in need of medical supervision while he recovers from a concussion and groin injury to be able to visit his family in California. Step in Bailey with a break before her residency to help out. Now, these two have been circling each other when they get together with their friends but neither has been willing to show how they really feel. Being at Asher’s grandmother’s, there is a lot of meddling which is so much fun from his mother, grandmother and sister’s which makes it harder for Asher to resist. Bailey gets to see the softer side to Asher after really only knowing him for his hockey playing. She finds herself unable to resist his charming and sexy moves. The real challenge, what happens when the vacation is over? Will Bailey realize she can balance a relationship with her medical dreams? I loved this couple with all the sexual innuendos and banter, which gave me a beautiful romance to devour.

    Oh I am so loving this series by Kendall Ryan!! If you are looking for a fun, swoony and steamy sports romance, look no further! This is the quick-paced story of Asher and Bailey. Asher is the tough center of the Ice Hawks hockey team.  He plays hard and goes strong until he gets what he wants. Bailey is the friend, she is going places and has big, bright future ahead of her. When Asher and Bailey spend a week together, sparks fly! I love how underneath the tough exterior Asher is a big softie, he embraces his feelings and doesn't apologize for showing them. I also admire how he understands that Bailey doesn't need him to complete her.  He wants to be her dessert! The world that Ms. Ryan has created is fresh, funny and full of heart and heat!! I cannot wait for the next story in this series!! Landon & Aubree are gonna be epic!
