Alternate cover edition for 9781533344342 She’s good at achieving her goals… College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change. But the game just got a whole lot more complicated Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

I sort of wish that we hadn't heard Tucker say that he was going to have a baby at the end of the third book (Dean's book, The Score), because then I was just anticipating it for so much of this book.
That being said, I was surprised it took 50% of the book before the pregnancy announcement/realization. Plus, that first 50% of the book was only about 3 months? And then the rest of the book felt like it was going by too quickly, cramming in probably 8-9 months? I get that part of Tucker's draw was his patience, and that he felt like he needed to demonstrate to Sabrina that he wasn't going anywhere, that he would be there loving her no matter what, but I wanted a frank conversation to happen between them earlier on. Tucker didn't want to scare Sabrina off by declaring his feelings and intentions, but Sabrina was just full of guilt thinking that she'd ruined his life and that he was possibly mistaking his feelings of love for the baby as carrying over to her... I think this was a bit of the trope where if the characters had just had a real heart to heart conversation then everything could have been resolved and the book would have been much shorter. It was driving me nuts how much Sabrina pushed Tucker away in her attempt to give him space and not "tie him down". Gah!
