Damaged Player: A College Hockey Romance (Westfall U Series) Kindle Edition

by R.C. Stephens (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 803 ratings

Cait

Ever since my accident, I feel like damaged goods. I do my best to hide in plain sight until the one guy I want to notice me… doesn’t.

Westfall U hockey star, Evan Hayworth, is way out of my league. If I want him to see me as more than just his tutor, I’ll need help igniting the spark.

Lucky for me, his hockey teammate comes to my rescue and makes me an offer I can’t refuse— I help him with science, and he will educate me in the bedroom.

A fake relationship with the most unavailable guy on campus seems like the perfect solution.

Noah is caring, loyal, and very good at pretending. Even I’m starting to believe the chemistry between us is real.

He may be a damaged player… but his magnetic touch and warm heart are making me feel alive again.

Noah

My life has been falling apart. After desperately trying to hold it together and focusing on hockey, the last thing I need is a serious relationship.

What I need is to keep my head in the game, but Cait is the exception to that rule.

Because hooking up with her is homework… or an experiment, depending on how you look at it.

I need a tutor to get my science grade up and she needs my expertise in the bedroom to give her the confidence to go for the guy she really wants… my teammate.

It’s a win-win, until the variables change, and our combustible attraction takes us from friends to lovers.

Suddenly our fake relationship feels much too real and I’m regretting our little deal.

Full-length standalone novel with HEA and no cheating. There is only one hero and one heroine. Get ready for a strong heroine who has to overcome some tough challenges and a hero with a heart of gold.

Warm, emotional and sensitive
Damaged Player is a heartwarming read. I'm a sucker for fake-relationship-turns-real and friends-to-loves romances, and this story is the perfect mashup of the two. With brilliantly written, depth filled, relatable characters and an engaging plotline, this story had me hooked. The connection and friendship building between Noah and Cait is absolutely magnificent to watch, and I loved their shared support and strength. 4.5 stars and a deal

    I love how it’s a friendship first and leads to more but I also love the way Noah builds up Cait’s confidence and shows her all the things she is capable of and gives her the confidence in herself to do what she wants!

    Damage Player is simply fabulous. I loved every moment of Noah and Cait. This is a fake relationship type read. Cait is a beautiful soul who lacks the confidence she once had before her accident. Noah is the newest member of the Westfall U hockey team and going through things with his family. He is a sweetheart who is nursing betrayal and his mom's medical problems. Cait has a crush on a player and just wants him to see her and not just her missing limb. I love the changes in Cait as she grows closer to Noah and forms this wonderful friendship. Noah helps raise Cait's confidence and as Cait helps Noah see that not everyone is like his dad when in the NHL. I love the chemistry build between Cait and Noah throughout this one. I could not get enough of them and cannot wait for more Westfall U to come. I'm so addicted to this series. You need to meet Noah and Cait today.

    What starts out as a plan to get Caits crush to notice her eventually becomes a true friendship that evolves into friends with benefits and then turns to true feelings and eventually love.

    Really liked their story, it was a slow burn with lots of steam.

    …”You’re perfect.” I don’t think he understands what those words mean to me. The way they break me and make me whole all in one breathe. “You’re perfect and beautiful and I want you so bad.”

    Damaged Player is Book Six in the Westfall U interconnected standalone series. You do not need to read books in order, but honestly you should. This book is a slow burn, friends to lovers read that has low angst and sweet steam. Noah and Cait both have trust issues which actually helps their friendship grow fast and deep. They see one another and connect next level. Noah is absolute book boyfriend goals. Cait needs the nudge to reestablish the self esteem lost and Noah is right there with the words to sooth all her broken pieces. And, Noah his pieces are just as broken and putting Cait in the friend zone keeps it safe for him. Until she obliterates that zone. Damaged Player is the perfect balm and will definitely have you loving this series even harder or have you running to one click the rest because these hockey hotties are a must read.

    Cait has the biggest crush on Evan Hayworth. And, hopes that now that she is tutoring him he will see her as more than his friend's younger sister. Cait lost part of her leg in a car accident years ago and her self esteem suffered when her high school boyfriend dumped her because of it.

    Noah is the new player having transferred from Minnesota. His mother nearly died the year before and moved to Canterbury to live with his Grandma while undergoing rehab. Noah followed not wanting to be far away. But, being the new guy Junior year is a hard transition.

    When Noah and Cait meet at a party he sees her crush on Evan first hand. Wanting her to tutor him he offers her a way to get Evan’s attention. It’s a win-win for both of them. Noah has a lot on his plate personally and he needs someone to keep him focused. Plus, he would like the puck bunnies to back off. So, why not fake date him to show Evan what he is missing?

    Noah and Cait fall into an easy friendship. The connection they share is unlike anything they have experienced with anyone else before.

    And, before long the plan begins to work. Evan asks her out.

    But, her insecurities go deeper. It’s been over five years since she has been with anyone sexually. And, no one since the accident. Why not take this fake dating one step further…let the bedroom experiments begin.

    Only their chemistry is mind blowing.

    What do you do when you realize the crush you had was completely superficial and the guy you want doesn’t want commitment?

    I was so confused at first, I didn't remember the blurb anymore when I started reading, and thought she was going to be with Evan for sure. I was so disappointed when the POV's were from Noah, but gosh it was a great story anyway. Really sweet, just bothered me they acted as friends with benefits for so long
