Guarding the Goalie (Charleston Coyotes Hockey Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Jacob Chance (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 869 ratings

The first time I met Murphy, the goalie of the Coyotes hockey team, I thought he was the most attractive man I’d ever seen.

The second time, we shared a wild night and I never planned to see him again.

Imagine my surprise when I showed up for a work meeting only to find out Murphy was my new client.

He needed a bodyguard to pose as his live-in girlfriend, and I was perfect for the job.

And now I’ve discovered living together in such close proximity comes with its own set of challenges… The man never wears a shirt. Or pants.

The more I fight to keep things professional between us, the more he struts around in his boxer briefs trying to tempt me.

It turns out guarding the goalie may be easy.

But resisting him is damn near impossible.


This is a standalone feel good low angst fake relationship hockey romcom where the swoony goalie instantly falls for the not so enamored spitfire heroine.

Tropes:
She works for him
Forced Proximity
Opposites Attract
Fake Relationship
He Falls First
Combustible Chemistry

She rolls her eyes. “Don’t you have something else to do?” “And miss spending time with the future mother of my children?” I tease.

    Jacob brought his ’ A ‘ game with this one!The hilarious one liners, superb banter, and heat had me completely lost in the Coyotes world and refusing to put the book down.

    Murphy and Wendy are two people content with the single life and a quick romp in the sheets. Unfortunate circumstances forced them to be with each other 24/7 making their attraction harder to avoid. If you are looking for an easy read filled with laughter and a touch of suspense definitely one click Guarding the Goalie. These two had me laughing and swooning the whole time!

    Jack Murphy own the goalkeeper for the Charleston Coyotes hockey team and doesn't feel ready for relationships unless it's with his dog, Mayer. After a one night stand with Wendy, the attraction he feels is different from the attraction he's felt for others. When he hires a body guard for to a stalker, he's surprised when it's Wendy he's hired. Moving in to protect him, the attraction grows between them.
    What happens when the stalker is caught? Do they go their separate ways? Will they give in to the attraction and see where it takes them?
    This was another great book from Jacob, with humour and characters you can't help but love! Can't wait for the next one!

    *REVIEWING FOR ROCK HARD ROMANCE*

    The third book in the series, yet easily followed as a standalone.
    As the blurb gives enough away, what I will say is that it was an enjoyable read, told in DUAL POV's, again, much like Jacob's previous sports romance stories, there is a good mix of sport's detail, alongside the developing romances with the chosen leads, and plenty of LOL moments. I really liked seeing previous character's pop up and with this book, there was a bit of suspense added and to begin with it was an interesting concept for Murphy to have a stalker, although for me, I felt that the reveal of who was behind it and how it was resolved seemed to be a bit rushed, however, on the whole it was as I have said, an enjoyable read and I look forward to the next in the series.
