Body Check (Seattle Serpents) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 5,046 ratings

I have two goals this season:
1. Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents.
2. Stay single.


I’m right on track…until
she happens.

Auden Sinclair.

We’re stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that’s all the promise we make—one night, then we go our separate ways.

Except she pops up again.
Then again.

Suddenly, she’s everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life and ruining all my plans with her quippy comebacks, her smarts, and a body that fits against mine just perfectly.

The problem? Auden is off limits. Forbidden. Strictly in the DO NOT TOUCH zone. She goes against all the rules, but never have I wanted to bend them as badly as I do when it comes to her.

This might be one battle I’m not going to win…

BODY CHECK is a standalone hockey romance novel. It contains a one-night stand, a billionaire heroine, a hot hockey player, obnoxious yet loveable teammates, goofy text threads, wit, plenty of steam, and a happy ending. This book does reference the death of a parent off the page.

Auden Sinclair is off limits. Forbidden.

This might be one battle I’m not going to win…

“I scored.” I place another kiss on the other side. “Remember when you asked me if I was superstitious? Back on the plane?”

She nods, her body trembling beneath me as I trace a path down her side. “I remember.”

“I am, Auden. I’m superstitious as hell, and right now, it seems like you might be my good luck charm.”

Tandem audio and book review
Body Check @teaganhunterwrites 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Audio book tandem review! I’m telling you this is my new way of reading! Half reading half listening while I do chores so I don’t have to stop my story! I enjoyed this one and because I have had @teaganhunterwrites on my TBR I thought it was the perfect time to read this one! Thanks @valentine_pr_ for my audio code! I think I am just a sports girly in my heart and always will be! Auden and Hutch have a very funny meet cute and a spicy time together. When they run into each-other later it’s a shock for both of them to say the least! The narration on this one was also done really well! I’m an audio girly and the narration can make or break the book for me! Overall this was a fun read with some spice and banter! The Serpent Singles group text cracked me up which had me excited to read more in this series! Good thing I already have Face Off 😉

    Ohh this book took me by surprise. I chose it for the hockey romance but kept reading bc Teagan Hunter draws you in. The story underlines not unique but the way she writes is so fantastic I don’t care. The spice is early and often and the story flows well. Hated the epilogue, I wanted more!!

    Writing was great, story was cute, and the characters flowed well together.
    ***spoilers ahead
    My complaints stem from Hutch. When he’s given the ultimatum, he chooses hockey. Auden mentions her relationship with her father and mother and the fact is that her mom never chose them and that scarred her, so now Hutch fails to choose her and treats her like trash but she has to make the next move when she already chose him. Seemed one sided and didnt seem to fit with my expectations for her character. Yes, she’s wacky and finally accepted her love but those emotional scars fearing that her person would disappoint her would definitely have made her not make that move.

    I wish Hutch would have gone to the hotel and found out she moved and sold the company so he then had to do the redeeming. Ugh whatever. Still cute.

    2.5/3⭐

    I was really happy to pick this one up! I was like ooo a quick and smutty hockey romance? I'm down!! I loved that Auden was a billionaire boss b*tch and that she was this really fierce business woman. I loved her instant connection with Reed (I can't call him Hutch, I just can't lol) and I loved the smut!! I loved the side characters and thought this had the potential to be really good and fun.

    And THEN towards that last 30 mins of the book I saw the direction the story was going and I thought, there's no way. But then it did and I was immediately enraged. I was really let down with Auden being such a strong FMC and literally half of her personality being about her career only for her to give it all up for a man. A man that didn't even think twice about her when he did what he did and then didn't even have a conversation with her about it. I felt this was really out of character for Auden and it just didn't make sense to me. I didn't understand why someone who was so career focused and passionate about her life's work to suddenly give it all up so easily. I understand it was for love and all that but it just felt like there could've been a way for her to be able to have both. It just felt like a disservice to her character.

    The ending was way too quickly resolved and I thought Auden deserved so much better. This really had the potential of being good but I just couldn't grasp that she would give up her life's work for a man. I felt there should've been a compromise on both parts or something. Anything other than her being the one to give up something major and for him to end up with everything without having to sacrifice anything.

    I rarely ever post ranty reviews but this really bothered me. Although the last 30 mins did me in, I did really enjoy this author's writing and I'd for sure still give the series a go once more books come out. I feel like it's totally up to your own interpretation on how you'll feel when you read it. So don't let my review deter you, I'd still give it a shot

    Auden Sinclair is quite literally one of my favorite FMC’s — she is a billionaire, business owner and an all around bad ass woman. But what I loved about her even more was the fact that she was so kind and they way people respected and supported her made her so likable.

    Hutch — Reed Hutchinson was just a great MMC because for one, he has the classic grumpy side of himself but he also has that soft and caring side that made me melt. Don’t get me started on the dirty talk, I was literally kicking my feet all giddy while reading his words.

    This story kicks off after an adorable Teagan Hunter classic meet cute between Auden and Hutch — then it quickly shifts into them ending up at the same hotel which leads to them having one night together, and nothing else. But then fate really works against them and they keep showing up in the same place together, find out they are working together and realize that their “relationship” together shouldn’t happen but they can’t stay away. Seeing them just being obsessed with each other right from the start had me just living my best life while reading this.

    They are meant to be together and really bring out the best in each other! But what I enjoyed is how their family and friends really played a part in them finally getting together — it’s always the ones who are against commitment who fall in love the hardest and fastest.

    This set up the next book perfectly and I can’t wait to devour it! Also the epilogue, trust me — if you have read the Carolina Comets you will be very happy with it!

    Spoilers! I was giving this book 5 stars until the fmc gives up everything she has worked for, all for a man who doesn't even have the guts to tell her why they need to stop seeing each other. And then she just forgives him before he even apologizes? A major let down in an otherwise cute story.

    Then he messes up and she is in my opinion way too understanding. I would have liked more grovelling on his part.

    I’ll still go back for more cuz that group chat is gold. And it was still mostly a fun read.

    At the end of Neutral Zone I gasped! Hayes was getting traded to the Serpents! I was not ready to say goodbye to my beloved Comets but I was ready to meet a new band of brothers! And the Serpents deliver that in spades! Hutch and Auden have a tumultuous love story, in this forbidden romance and I am here for it! The banter these two have, their chemistry, and the love they find at the end was worth the journey. So bring on the Serpents I'm ready! Go Seattle Go! (Don't tell Miller I said that ;) )

    A great, light hockey romance. I detracted one star because she has to make a big sacrifice for there to be “them” once their relationship is known.
    Otherwise this is a good story and start to the series. I’m keen to continue the series.
