Knocked For Six (Caught Off Guard Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 381 ratings

No hooking up with teammates. We can’t stand each other so it should be simple. Right?

My best friend just got expelled and the coach has already filled his spot with someone who lacks passion for the game. Hockey means everything to me. I’m not going to let him ruin my chances at playing in the NHL.

After a blow up during a game, we have no choice but to take part in team bonding. Every time he looks at me with his fiery green eyes, sparks fly. Especially when I find out he’s never been kissed.

One taste has me tossing the rules aside and needing more of him. It’s OK though. It’s not as if we’re going to catch feelings…


Knocked For Six is a steamy, funny, enemies to lovers, MM hockey romance, that is low on angst and has a HEA. It is book two in the Caught Off Guard series and can be read as a standalone.

    This was just the amazing, quick, sexy read I've been needing! I love this entire cast of characters so much. I have never highlighted so many passages in a book! Bron and Max are both hot as hell and hilarious together. Milo is so full of cuteness and sass, I want one of him in my life! I am hardcore eyeballing Tyler because sir you cannot pretend you didn't say what you did at the end! And then NICKY!! He might not have been there a lot, but yes please all of the Nicky!! Willow can do banter and snark with the best of them! And also, 'Sunshine'. My heart. I am WEAK for pet names. This really was such a fun read!

    I could not wait to jump into this one after seeing the tension between Max and Bron in Bolt From the Blue! This is a short novella, and I am reminded again why I don’t love reading novellas, because I ALWAYS want more!!

    Max and Bron are teammates; Max comes in to replace one of the players that gets kicked off the team/suspended, and this really, really upsets Bron, the team’s captain, because the suspended player was one of his best friends. Their tension is good; it’s built up well, even for how short this book is!

    This one is very fast paced; it goes from Bron despising Max to being in love, but I think it was done well for the length that the book is! I felt like even though quick, all the details that were necessary, were covered!

    If you’re looking for a quick, somewhat spicy, hockey romance, I’d definitely recommend this one! This series definitely redeems itself, at least for me, with Max and Bron!

    Great live story!! Love sports love stories so much!! Great writing! Loved the flow of the storyline too! Can't wait for the next book!

    I enjoyed the story but I feel that certain parts could have been elaborated on more. The storytelling improved but it still felt rushed. I know it's a short story but at times some scenes were too short. If some points were drawn out just a little more, it would have elevated the story a lot. With that said, I did enjoy it. It gave us that sweet love after realizing that you don't truly hate the person, you hate the circumstance. These two are another pairing I wouldn't mind seeing a follow-up story on.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun sports romance!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2022
    I’m a HUGE sucker for hockey books, especially ones that follow a set of characters finding love. After seeing the blurb for this one, I immediately added it my tbr.

    And let me tell you - I was NOT disappointed. Willow Thomas has created a set of characters that you will fall in love with. Bron and Max immediately have tension which makes it all the more sweeter when they finally realise they are right for each other.

    I laughed out loud and I said ‘aww’ more than a couple of times. This story was super sweet and I can’t wait for the next one!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Gaps in the Story
    Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2023
    I like short little novellas, but the story still has to flow and be tight. This one had gaps that disrupted the flow and there was very little chemistry build up. They went from hating each other to instalove. Instalove is not a trope I usually go for, but occasionally works. This time it did not. Overall, disappointed with this 2nd book in the series after really enjoying the first one. I’ll try the 3rd one b/c I enjoyed the first.

    A cute, hot MM enemies to lovers hockey romance.
    Again with the first in the series, I enjoyed it but wished it was longer. Some parts did feel rushed but this kind of story has potential to be dragged out and for the readers to wait a bit longer for the inevitable.
