Consider Me (Playing For Keeps Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Becka Mack (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 52,272 ratings
In the sizzling hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm, the ultimate player turns romantic to charm the woman he is desperate to win over.

“Endlessly sexy and funny. Consider Me will have you fanning yourself and googling your closest hockey team hangout.” —Hannah Grace, New York Times bestselling author of Wildfire and Icebreaker

The first book in the globally popular Playing for Keeps series.

For a shot at love, he’ll do whatever it takes…

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s best player—both on and off the ice. His career is at its peak, his friends are performing better than ever, and there’s no shortage of women to spend the night with. What more could he want?

Olivia Parker isn’t new to professional hockey players, thanks to her best friend’s boyfriend, but she has no interest in dating one herself—no matter how hot he is. And anyway, she loves working as a teacher and hanging out with her best friend, drama-free. Why would she want to spend her time stroking the ego of an arrogant athlete?

But once Carter meets Olivia, he can’t think of anything else. Too bad for him, Olivia is hellbent on keeping him at arm’s length, with no intention of giving into his charms. Perhaps it’s time for Carter to up his game…after all, nobody said he had to play fair.

Sparks will fly as Carter does whatever it takes for Olivia to consider him.

From the Back Cover

In the ice-hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm, the ultimate player turns romantic in order to win over the woman he is desperate to be with.

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s best player – both on and off the ice. His career is at its peak, his team is performing better than ever, and there’s no shortage of women to spend the night with. What more could he want?

Olivia Parker isn’t new to professional hockey players, thanks to her best friend’s boyfriend, but she has no interest in dating one herself – no matter how hot he is. And anyway, she loves working as a teacher and hanging out with her best friend, drama-free. Why would she want to spend her time stroking the ego of an arrogant athlete?

But once Carter meets Olivia, he can’t think of anyone else. Too bad for him, Olivia is hell-bent on keeping him at arm’s length, with no intention of giving into his charms. Perhaps it’s time for Carter to up his game … after all, nobody ever said he had to play fair.

Sparks will fly as Carter does whatever it takes for Olivia to consider him.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Becka is a steamy romance author, self-proclaimed sarcasm queen, professional procrastinator, and a superfan of dragging her readers through hell and back on the way to a happy ending.

When she’s not staring blankly at her computer screen or deleting close to two hundred occurrences of the word just from her manuscript, she can be found teaching kindergarten (gasp!) in Ontario, Canada, and mom-ing with her incredibly sweet and beautiful little boy (he takes after his mama) and her animals.

Though she’s always been an avid reader and forever dreamt of becoming an author, Becka didn’t begin writing books until after the loss of her brother. While she loves to include all the fun stuff like heat, humor, and alpha men who are secret teddy bears, her writing comes from a place of heavy emotions, and she often can’t resist letting those emotions seep into her pages.

Becka is so excited to share this journey with you!

Nothing major. But it looks that the book wasn’t wrapped in anything and there wasn’t a lot of care when placed in the parcel. It’s just a small imperfection but there should always be extra care when handling books, especially ones that are not covered in any foil as there was a lot of love and care that went into the book and it deserves respect. The book is phenomenal! Read it when it first came out and a few time ever since.

    Carter is a top of his game hockey player and all the ladies love him and he loves all the ladies, bjt is a commitment phobe. He swears he'll never settle down until he bumps into his best friends girlfriends, best friend, who he has beem warned to stay away from. But when you are told to stay away from her, it makes it even more appealing. Olivia thrns out to be a pint sized firecracker to his 6ft plus manwhore, and she is the first woman to tell Carter no. This intrigues Carter and makes him want her more. But Olivia is a true relationship girl and doesn't believe in one night stands and refuses to be a notch on Carters bed post. Carter has a battle on his hands and one he intends to win. Will Olivia fall for his charisma and charms, only time will tell. Will Carters love em and leave em past come back to bite him in the ass.

    For someone who's a playboy and never had a serious relationship Cater was the perfect boyfriend and always knew what to say, I love how obsessed he was with Olivia

    I really liked the whole friendship group and can't wait to read some of their stories. Hank had me crying at multiple points idk what it is about hum but I adored him

    I really enjoyed the pacing of this book and loved that we got a lot of time of them being happy and together after the 3rd act conflict and it didn't feel rushed to wrap up the story

    - sports romance (hockey)
    - reformed playboy
    - found family vibes
    - he's obsessed with her (in the best way)

    It’s a good book that is structured well but it is slightly cringey and I’m not sure I have read a book so far with this many sex scenes. It does feel like the only conversations that take place are incredibly serious (about their relationship breaking up, his dad) or their overly sexual and constantly just saying I love you.

    Carter. Oh my god. If he was real, he would be infuriating but as a book boyfriend he is perfection in every way. He's funny, smart, lovable, goofy, handsome, and so much more!

    Olivia is one of the best FMC's I've encountered, handling Carter so well (maybe it's the teacher in her).

    Cara, the BFF, was slightly irritating to begin with but she definitely grows on you.

    The twist, I really didn't want THAT to be it but it all tied in well.

    The rest of the series was added to my TBR so fast! I can't wait to read everyone else's stories!

    This book is an absolute gem! It's a delightful blend of humour, heart-melting moments, steaminess, and adorableness - essentially, perfection with a playful smirk. If you looked up "swoon" in the dictionary, a picture of this book & Carter would be right there beside

    Meet Olivia and Carter, the dynamic duo whose chemistry is so electrifying, it practically jumps off the page. Their connection is undeniable, yet one of them is determined to resist it with all their might.

    Carter exudes confidence with every step, a walking embodiment of charm and arrogance. As an ice hockey superstar, he's accustomed to the adoration of women, breezing through one-night stands with ease. But beneath his cocky facade lies a sweet, caring side and an undeniable goofiness that's utterly endearing. And let's not forget his prowess in the bedroom, which is, in a word, scorching.

    Meanwhile, Olivia is a force to be reckoned with - strong, sassy, and radiantly beautiful inside and out. As a PE teacher, she's used to turning heads, especially those of teenage boys stumbling over themselves in her presence. Her best friend warns her against falling for Carter's charms, but Olivia's resilience might just be the key to unraveling his carefully constructed walls.

    With a captivating mix of drama, romance, and a cast of fantastic secondary characters, this book is an emotional rollercoaster that you won't want to get off. I wholeheartedly recommend diving into this story, and don't forget to sign up for the newsletter for that bonus chapter - it's an absolute treat!

    In case I haven't made it clear enough, I adore this book. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

    Wow! Why didn't I read this book before now?! Consider Me was such a phenomenal read! I enjoyed everything about this book. EVERYTHING! Definitely a new top read this year!

    "𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚕𝚢 𝚏𝚕𝚊𝚠𝚎𝚍, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙸'𝚖 𝚐𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚏𝚊𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚜, 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚎."

    Let me start by declaring I have a new book boyfriend to add to my collection of favorites: Carter Beckett, captain of the Vancouver Vipers! That man was just... so dreamy. Maybe he was over the top at times, but I guess it was what was endearing about him, the way he so deeply loved Olivia and wanted to show it to the world. That guy who never had a real relationship fell hard and fast for Olivia. He was overly confident, but I melted for him even more in the scenes where his stress made him word vomit. It was truly adorable to witness to big hockey player lose his composure in front of a five feet one sassy woman. Olivia was full of sarcasm and I loved her to pieces! She was the perfect match to Carter's strong presence. She had doubts about him at first, but it was clear they shared a bond worth exploring.

    This couple was simply magnetic! While their relationship started with obstacles and doubts, I absolutely loved the way they communicated through their fears. The way they verbalised about their dreams and goals was beautiful and proved the importance of their commitment for each others. I can't tell you how many lines I highlighted through my read, it's crazy! Their passion was combustible and provided some really spicy encounters. I adored this couple!

    An aspect I also cherished about this novel is the whole set of characters. I truly loved Carter's teammates: Emmett, Garrett and Adam. These guys were so supportive in his good, but hard times too. They were an entertaining group for sure with all the joking around and funny bets. I can't forget about Carter and Olivia's families that also brought so much humor, but also feelings. Cara was a great friend to Olivia, that girl was fierce!

    "𝙸 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚢, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚊𝚕𝚠𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚘."

    I'll now stop raving about Consider Me and how much I loved this book, because I need to jump into book two, Play with Me, and get back to this captivating fictional world!

    THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!!! Why didn’t I pick it up earlier???? Becka Mack, you queen !! Honestly, Miss Becka Mack writes the best Hockey Romance books – I am sold!

    Carter Beckett is my new official favorite book boyfriend of all time! The way he fell so hard for his love Olivia and acted like the cutest lost puppy begging for her attention – Gosh it was the best thing I’ve ever read. Just the way he acted, the things he said, just everything about him was everything I ever wanted to see from a book boyfriend.

    Consider Me is a sports romance with two characters who faced insecurities and fears. All of what they were dealing with felt very real. And they had an amazing friend group that lifted them and interacted with them in a heartfelt and comedic role. Carter was the life of the party hockey player who was a nice break for the normal alpha male. He adored Olivia and that always bleeds from the pages. He was obsessed with her from the second he saw her. Olivia was witty and relatable. She was always prepared to give an entertaining comeback at Carter – and boy he deserved them! And her hesitation towards Carter was completely understandable – given her past.

    Olivia Parker – I loved her feistiness and sarcasm I enjoyed that she put Carter through his paces and was very very clear with what she wanted from the beginning. Olivia is a high school physical education teacher. The way Clara (Olivia’s best friend) and Emmett (Carter’s teammate) assiduously kept her far away from Carter all this time.

    Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy. He is both on and off ice the top Player and quite possibly the sexiest man ever to grace the field of Olivia’s vision. This man had one of the greatest evolution as a character! The way he goes through some major growth and realizations throughout the story – is so beautifully written. At first, I thought that is being just another cocky and stone-cold playboy that doesn’t care about anyone's emotions but I was proven wrong. The way he is being is way more than you think. He is a good guy and reading about his father's death and seeing his mother grieve causes him to protect his heart from everything.

    The best part of the story though was the way we could see how they built up their relationship – they were both so understanding and had the best communication I’ve ever seen in any book I’ve ever read. My standards for men and relationships are so high after all these romance books but Hockey Players are untouchable. I loved how he was so patient with her and gave her space and time before she was ready to enter a relationship with him. The way he bought her a new furnace only because he didn’t want her to freeze to death in her apartment or how he assured her to catch her when she fell in love with him – HE is the best book boyfriend ever.
