Don’t miss NHL insider and #BookTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown’s steamy and superstitious hockey rom-com debut!

Jaylen “JJ” Jones’s hockey career is over. After not securing an NHL contract with the Seattle Rainiers, Jaylen decides to bid the city farewell with a final night of fun, blowing off steam with an anonymous one night stand. But when a last-minute roster spot opens up on the Rainiers, he connects his luck to the girl he spent the night with. Superstitious Jaylen is desperate to keep her around—his career depends on it.
 
Aspiring tattoo artist Lucy Ross isn’t so sure about the proposition to remain Jaylen’s lucky charm—she’s been called a lot of things in her life, but good luck has never been one of them. But stuck in a career slump, Lucy has everything to gain. Hoping for an apprenticeship hasn’t offered much stability, and Jaylen is willing to pay any price to get Lucy to agree…so maybe sending him a routine text message before each game won’t be too hard.
 
What starts as an agreement to trade favors—a good luck text in exchange for tattooing practice for Lucy’s portfolio—quickly turns into sizzling chemistry that’s too delicious to deny. But Lucy’s been in too many situationships to even think about getting attached again, and Jaylen is clearly only with Lucy as long as it’s helping his gameplay…
 
Neither of them expecting getting lucky could be so complicated.

“One of the best debut novels I’ve ever read—I ate this book up! Shoot Your Shot is fun, sexy, and brimming with heartfelt emotion.” —Lauren Blakely, #1 New York Times bestselling author

2.5 ⭐ rounding up only because it was an easy read, but otherwise… this was a mess 😩 The chemistry between them was almost nonexistent 😬.Sure, they were physically attracted to each other, but beyond that, their connection felt completely flat.

Goodreads review by Kristin on February 18, 2025

I’d rather read a hockey romance by an author who doesn’t know everything about hockey than an expert who doesn’t know much about writing. There’s so much going on here, but none of it lands. It’s overwritten and more telling than showing, which makes the cliches that much more frustrating. Lucy is......more

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the early edition of this book. When Lexi Lafleur Brown said that she would use her hockey expertise to finally write an accurate hockey romance, I forgot that knowledge of a specific field is not the only thing it takes for a book to be good. I forgot about......more
