Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains adult language, swoon-worthy kisses, and sexy hockey players. It may cause you to watch a hockey game…or ten.
Sixteen-year-old Claudia Waring has never kissed a boy. Never been popular. Never been to a hockey game. All that’s about to change. Assigned to tutor Chris Winslow, a prank-loving, gorgeous hockey player, Claudia’s perfectly planned life immediately veers off course. And she kind of likes it. But as fun as Chris is, she knows she'll never fit in his world.
After his latest prank lands him in hot water, Chris has to get serious about school or lose hockey. Not an easy thing for someone as carefree as the defenseman. The biggest problem, though, is how much he wants to help his cute, buttoned-up tutor loosen up a little. But while confidence has never been a problem for him, around Claudia, Chris is all nerves. Why would a girl as smart as her ever fall for a jock like him?

In ” an Oyster Shell – This was a provocative YA romance that left you feeling like nerds can rule the world.
The Pearls – The story premise was nice. Being from Alaska, I enjoy hockey, so I was more than thrilled to read a hockey themed novel.
The romance was sweet and edifying. There was a lot of growth development that needed to happen between the two characters in order for it to work. It was a fun journey through the story as the both grow tremendously.
The theme of the story was encouraging. Learning how to let relationships with others help you be a better person.
The Sand – The setting of the book was unclear to me. The writing of the book was simple could use a more diverse vocabulary. There were parts of the story that did not fit.
