I was hooked from the start, and the romance between Charli and Neil made my toes curl. The writing in Shenanigans is really good, too. In a way, it felt like coming home, but the main focus was definitely on the protagonists of this novel. It was really nice to meet characters from prior books in both series in Shenanigans, because that showed how strong the friendships between the players of both teams are, and also how much those friendships crossed over the team lines between the male and female teams. He was the real deal, and the readers saw this long before Charli did. I loved that Neil did what he felt was needed to have her back, though. They did not have her best interest at heart, and they never had. And Charli had no idea what she was in for with him, especially because she had her work cut out for her with her cousin and her uncle. I really loathed Neil’s uncle, because his shenanigans were just mean-spirited and controlling. Between the friendships in both of their hockey teams, and the way they had to fight their families to get to the finish line – it all just made so much sense to me. From their accidental Vegas wedding to everything they did to not only stay married, but try to work it out as a business thing rather than anything real with feelings involved.

To say I loved Shenanigans is a huge understatement! Neil and Charli were such great characters to get to know.

Shenanigans has all the ingredients I love in a good romance! Humor, friendship, hockey, hotness and a dash of side characters to hate on.
