Playing Offsides: An Opposites Attract Hockey Romance (Wyncote Wolves Book 3) Kindle Edition
Cameron
Two things I never thought I’d say:
My entire future is about to go up in flames.
And Aspen Rossi is my ticket to keeping my scholarship.
The only problem..She hates me.
Aspen
The last thing that I want to be doing is tutoring Cameron Sawyer.
When he asked for my help, I tried to resist but tutoring another student would look good on my application for med school.
That’s all he is—a means to an end.
However, the more time that we spend together, the harder it is to ignore his charm.
Cam is starting to grow on me, but I can’t get involved with him.
We want two different things out of life. We’re on two separate paths…
Our dreams can’t coexist and neither can our hearts. Even if they keep playing offsides.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022Y’all! I CANNOT get enough of this series and these amazingly alpha Wyncote Wolf hockey players and the fabulously lovely ladies that bring these big ‘ol boys to their knees. As I suspected, Cameron and Aspen were absolutely magical together.
Cam and Aspen couldn’t be from more different worlds. Cam’s life is all about hockey. He’s got goals for his future in the sport and doesn’t plan to let anything get in his way… well, that is until there’s a drop on his biology grade that threatens not only his scholarship but his place on the hockey team unless he gets it back up higher. Aspen is all about knocking school out and becoming a Fanny-kicking doctor. When he arrives to class he realizes that the adorable self proclaimed “ nerdy, pre-med” student, Aspen is the perfect tutor to help him get his grade back up, he just had to convince her to get on board.
I loved the chemistry they had, the fun banter. The unofficial “ not friendship/friendship with bennies” they formed. They had this level of comfort with each other and even shared some vulnerable moments. They are both fun loving, beautiful, caring people who deserved to find their person, even when that was the last thing either of them were looking for at that time in their lives.
This story had it all. Swoony, spicy and heartfelt moments. Funny, serious and super sweet times too. Great characters and plenty of hockey time fun. The chemistry between all the characters is just loud at loud, fist pumping good lines and good times. I just continue to be obsessing over this series and the phenomenal team of Wyncote boys, Cali Melle has penned for us.
I’m addicted to these hockey hotties and the sassy heroines that give these guys a good kick in the ICE that sure leaves their mark on their hearts. There is no better time than today to get started on this amazing series of inner connected standalones told in dual POV. Cam and Aspen were everything I was hoping they would be, and SO.MUCH.MORE!! So ready to get Hot and Heavy with Hayden. Five Freaking Fabulous Stars for these Hockey Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023Cam and Aspen were two magnets that didn't stand a chance at the magnetic pull they had to towards each other. Cam needs a tutor and Aspen decides to help him since she literally can't say no to his charm. Soon they both realize that they want to add a benefit factor to their friendship and nothing more.
But once they tumble in the sheets all bets are off for not falling for each other.
This is a slow burn, hockey romance, with low angst. Highly Recommend this to any of my sports romance fans and contemporary lovers

- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022This is book 3 in the Wyncote Wolves Series, this book focuses on Cameron and Aspen. This was a quick read that overlaps into the stories prior, so I recommend reading them in order. It’s not necessary but it does help give a little more depth to the story. This book had a lot of good things it including the seamless way that Cali writes, it also had a different feel than the books before because the characters themselves were more serious personality wise. That added a different layer to the story bringing out a bit more in the book.
One of the things about this book is that it has insta-love. Their entire relationship is about a month long. While insta-love isn’t my favorite it can be if done correctly. However, with Cameron and Aspen I didn’t feel their relationship. You don’t get enough of a chance to really see them grow and develop as a couple. Especially since they didn’t know each other prior to Cameron asking Aspen for help tutoring. Had they known each other before this, the insta-love part would have felt more believable. It went from tutoring to more rather quickly. I feel like if more pages had been added you would have had the opportunity to really see the progression of their relationship and the feelings between them mature and build. As it was, they get together then the culmination of their end and then their HEA. All of it happens within about a weeks’ time.
Also, the reason for the break-up didn’t make much sense. There was really no reason for it. And yes, they are on two separate paths future wise but not to the extent that it would be an issue. Their lack of communication on this aspect bothered me. I feel the whole break-up was unnecessary and not really needed. Especially since it only lasted for a week. Had they just talked to each other or really Cameron talk to Aspen it could have been avoided and you could have just had more of them learning about each other and really building on them as a couple.
All in all, I would have liked more to the story. I think additional pages would have really fleshed out the issues and would have allowed them as a couple to really feel more authentic and less forced. Their relationship didn’t feel natural and effortless and that’s something I was really missing in this book. I love Cali’s writing and will continue to read her wonderful stories this one was just missing a little something for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fofinho
Os livros dessa série são leves e divertidos. Não tem muito drama, geralmente o que separa o casal antes de finalmente ficarem juntos é algo simples que logo é resolvido com uma simples conversa.
Bom para passar o tempo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love him
OMG Cam has to be my favourite player so far. I Love how he acts this big, tough hockey guy but when he meets Aspen he's like a giant fluffy teddy. He needs help with school to be able to carry on his hockey and finds himself a lot more involved with Aspen as he planned. Who doesnt like a friend with benefits lol. Aspen falls so hard for him she even shares a secret her best friend doesn't even know. These two make the perfect couple and in the end get their HEA. I'd love down there to be a second book about their future. This is definitely a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
Aaawww I loved Cam & Aspens story, they had such a sweet relationship which developed from friendship to more before they even knew what was happening!
It was so cute with some spice thrown in too, I loved the tutor side & how they tried to fight their feelings for each other. We also get to see the other members from the Wyncote Wolves & the action from the hockey games - everything you need in a book! Brilliant!
