They are also wildly attracted to each other.

Even when they are just friends, I found myself giddy and full of smiles every time these two are together. They are so much fun and the banter is phenomenal. Half the men on Tinder would offer themselves up. I’m confident I wouldn’t have much trouble finding someone to have sex with me. Having only ever been with him, she is in need of a rebound and she knows just who she wants. It allows them to be real and honest without trying to impress each other. I loved watching the fun they have when being friends is all that is on the table.

The fact that Demi has a long-term boyfriend makes everything easier because she’s unavailable and isn’t interested.ĭemi is a breath of fresh air because unlike every other woman Hunter meets, she isn’t throwing herself all over him, and it gives them a chance to form a solid friendship. Even though he is extremely attracted to her, he is determined to stick to his vow. Hunter has been abstaining from sex for several months when a psych project brings Demi into his life. Now he is back with his own book and he has a new philosophy – “ Hockey and school now, women later.” Then, he had a rough time in the second book, The Risk, when sleeping around cost the hockey team a chance at the national championship. I have been desperate for Hunter Davenport’s story ever since his heart was broken in The Chase, the first book in the Briar Useries. Now I just have to convince my body-and my heart. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.Įxcept three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.Īvoiding her is impossible. And I won’t lie-my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate…no matter how hard that makes things.īut there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friendswith a woman. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up.
