He has signed with the Oilers for the next season, but is trying to win it all his last year in college, and cannot risk any distractions for him or his team. ➽ Jake Connelly – Captain of the Harvard’s hockey team, and already all-star. Plus, she is focusing on getting a jumpstart with a hockey news internship. Even though she has had some awful things happen in her past, she is strong, confident, and isn’t going to let anyone boss her around. ➽ Brenna Jensen – Daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, and a bit of a bad girl. The Risk perfectly plays with the enemies to lovers trope, but also adds the fake dating element, and I was truly living my best life while reading this story. Reading this was pure joy, and my biggest complaint is that I wish we had an extra epilogue, because I want and I need more. And The Risk was so sexy, so funny, and so phenomenal. I hope she continues to write them forever. I’m not sure what the world has done to deserve Elle Kennedy and all the amazing stories she keeps giving us set around this hockey team, but we are so damn blessed, friends.
