He's ready for a second chance …

Daniel’s looking forward to seeing Elena again when school starts. After their quick fling at the beginning of the summer, he’s hoping to pick up where they left off.

But something happened to her over the summer. Gone is the sparkly, outgoing woman he knew, replaced by a shadow of herself, weighed down by grief and responsibilities.

She insists she doesn’t want a relationship. And at first he’s content to just be her friend … and then her friend with benefits.

But when he pushes for more, will she acknowledge there’s something real between them? Or will pushing just mean pushing her away?

If you love second chance romances, strong heroines, and dominant and caring alphas, you’ll love Coping Skills. Download it today!

Coping Skills (Players of Marycliff University Book 5)
By: Jerica MacMillan
5 out of 5 stars

The story Coping Skills (Players of Marycliff University Book 5) by Jerica MacMillan is a sports/romance book. I loved reading the next book in the Players of Marycliff series. It had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. I loved the characters of Elena Martinez and Daniel Carter. Elena is a smart, beautiful, independent woman. She also is someone who has a lot going on in her life after her father’s accident and the extra responsibilities that have been placed upon her. Between keeping her father’s business open, starting school again, and planning for her future she has a lot of stress. She also feels guilty that she wants to continue with the career plans she has always had. She could use a distraction. She finds one in Daniel. Daniel can’t wait to see Elena again. An attraction to her started over the summer and now he hopes to take the next step and start a relationship with her. Daniel is not like other members of the football team. He doesn’t want casual, he wants to be in a committed relationship. Elena is only looking for being friends with benefits and Daniel gives in in order to be with her. Daniel is also someone with a caring heart. When he hears of what Elena has been going through he wants to help and support her. Will he be able to help Elena through the stressful times that she is having? Will he be able to convince Elena to take the next step and go from a casual relationship to a committed one? There comes a time when things become strained between these two and there is anger and hurt feelings. What does the future hold for both Daniel and Elena? Will they be able to find happiness together or will they end up walking away from each other? This is a story that had my emotions going up and down. This is a couple who care for each other and I wanted them to find happiness. This is the next wonderful story in a series that I have fallen in love with. The author is a wonderful storyteller who creates amazing characters. I can’t wait to read what she writes next! This story does have adult situations that include steamy love scenes. It would be recommended for those 18 years of age or older.

Coping Skills (Players of Maycliff University Book 5 by Jerica Macmillan is the fifth book in her Players of Maycliff University series. These books can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you reading this series from the beginning. Each installment of this series just keeps getting better and each one is fast becoming a favorite. This author's writing style is such that it will pull you in from the first word and keep you there until the end. Her attention to details make the story true to life and just pop off the pages. Her characters are connectable and lovable. They will take you on a roller coaster ride of various emotions. They will pull you into their world and make you feel like you are right there with them. This is the story of Elena and Daniel. Elena is just a normal college student who has had to balance her life. Her family is a little complicated when he father had a tragic car accident that has left him with a brain injury. She meets Daniel one summer on a surf trip and the summer ended. Now he is ready to pick up where they left off. When they reconnect, she is in a lot of emotional pain. He is determined to see her better, so he attempts to pull her from her stress. She has built up some walls that he will need to take down. Are the walls stronger then what he thinks, will it end before it even starts? Elena is a character that is heart broken and barely has the desired to continue at Maycliff. Daniel is patient with her and really just wants to help her heal. Together they have such chemistry. They make such a great couple that I kept hoping they would find their HEA. Will she push him away one to many times? I really did enjoy these two. He has such a big heart, he is a big jock but yet not stuck on himself. She just needed a distraction from her stress and he happens to be it but how far will they go? I also enjoyed the secondary characters and I hope that some of them will continue to show up in future installments of this series. It was great getting to see Elena and Daniel's story. I highly recommend this story. I know you are going to want to see what happens to this couple as they start of journey of building and taking down walls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant, Tender, and Steamy!

I love every book in Jerica MacMillan’s emotionally charged series, Players of Marycliff University. It’s one adorable, hunky guy after another in these gorgeously written stories. The heroes are so charming, sexy, and chivalrous! The heroines are intelligent, fun, spunky, and most definitely have a mind of their own.
Coping Skills is a poignant and tender story that will give your feelings a workout and your psyche a book hangover but believe me, it’s well worth it.
Elena is heartbroken, exhausted, and just barely possesses the will to return to Marycliff after the devastating summer her family has experienced. She is relieved to escape to Marycliff, however, guilt and sorrow have cast a shadow over her once carefree and fun personality. She has avoided Daniel for weeks but the chemistry they had during their brief fling returns in full force when she sees him again. She knows it’s wrong to let him believe they could be more than friends with benefits, but he’s the one person she knows she can count on to make her troubles disappear, if only for a little while.
The way Daniel cares for Elena will melt your heart. He is patient and strong and wants desperately to help her heal. He’s willing to wait it out until Elena is able to commit to the love he knows they both feel for each other. Until she pushes him away one time too many. He has been used before and won’t subject himself to that again.
This is such a lovely story about coping with change and tragedy ! As always, Ms. MacMillan’s characters are beautifully defined, their dialogue is realistic and their journey full of meaning.

Coping Skills
By Jerica MacMillan
5 stars

Coping Skills is the fifth book in the Players of Marycliff University series. It could be read as a standalone but having read the previous books I would highly recommend that they are read in order.
I’m not quite sure what I was expecting from Elena and Daniel’s story but it wasn’t this at all. This was such a beautifully written and emotional story. I love how the author manages to create characters that you instantly fall in love with. They each have their own problems that the author writes about so well.
I can’t even imagine how Elena felt after her father’s accident and the events that happened after that. I could really sense how this had affected her, not just the relationship between her and her father but also how it was affecting her other relationships. She was a head strong and independent character who didn’t want to let anyone in to help her – this is definitely a defence mechanism for her to stop herself form getting hurt.
Daniel was a really lovely character, I could really feel the caring nature that he had and how much Elena meant to him. Like Elena, he also had his own issues to deal with.
I think out of all the stories in this series so far this was the most emotional one for me. I felt a real connection to Elena and Daniel and was really rooting for them as a couple.
As always it’s lovely to see the characters from previous stories feature in this one too and I am really looking forward to the next book in the series!

Coping skills by Jerica Macmillan is the fifth book in the players of marycliffe university series, and focuses on Daniel and Elena. I loved this book and I feel that it is a great addition to the series. Daniel is such a sweet guy that it is hard to find a fault with him at all, and Elena really needs his steadying presence at this time of her life. Of course the physical chemistry is off the charts as well!
Jerica Macmillan has never disappointed me with her books before and this is no exception. I find her writing style to flow extremely well and I am always instantly hooked in even if I’m not liking a particular character (which is usually a deal breaker for me). I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!
