Broken Hearts by Rebecca Jenshak is now live! This is the third book in the Campus Nights series, and you don't want to miss this one. If college sports romance is what you enjoy, then go grab Broken Hearts now! And don't worry if you haven't read Secret Puck or Bad Crush, that's okay as these books can be read as standalones.
In this latest installment of the Campus Nights series, we meet up with Rhett. Rhett, as you may or may not know, recently ended his 6 year relationship with Carrie. It was time, plus the distance wasn't helping matters at all. The hockey team was out celebrating a recent win, and Rhett was about to hook up with someone. That is until he fell asleep. Oops. After a brief nap, Rhett decides to head to the rink to get some skating in. Upon arriving he notices that the figure skaters are still going, so he snoozes. That is until Sienna wakes him up. Sienna thought she was going to have the ice to herself, but it's looking like she's going to have to share. She's not exactly thrilled about it. But the duo agree to stick to their sides of the rink. A while later, Rhett ends up crashing into Sienna, and she goes down. After helping her back to the trainers office, Rhett apologizes constantly. These two are not starting off on the right foot, and it is irritating Rhett. Rhett eventually asks Sienna out, and she turns him down. What happens next is a friendship forming, morphing into a relationship, then comes heartache and the big dramatic moment.
Broken Hearts had me crying. Okay it was more so when a certain big moment happened, but still, I was crying. I am such an emotional person, and I can't help but cry at times. I loved getting to return to the group at Valley. I loved getting to see the characters I've come to enjoy. Loved how Rhett had to work to get Sienna to go on a date with him, and how he had to clear some things up. I was curious about Carrie's storyline, and the reasoning behind the constant phone calls. But that was never discussed fully. She was just being clingy, and was basically trying to rebuild the friendship they once had. Sienna is a sweetheart who is extremely talented at figure skating. She also has a heart condition, and that tends to make people not want a relationship with her. Yet here she couldn't keep Rhett away. There was so much to the story that I enjoyed. From the meet-cute for Rhett and Sienna, to the awkward moments between them, to the hockey storyline, to Sienna trying to figure out life after college, to the big dramatic moment, to the grief and heartache, to the grand gesture, all of it had me devouring the book. Also, the fact that Rhett is from Minnesota, and Sienna is from Wisconsin had me grinning like a fool. Gotta love that the main characters are in my area of the US. But can we talk about the name for Rhett's home town? If he's from Rochester, just say so, no need to rename it Rochestertown. Like what is that? Ignoring that little bit, I fully enjoyed the story, and am loving the series.
If you like new adult romances that are set at college, and feature sports romance, then please go read Broken Hearts. Then, if you enjoy it, go back and read the first two books in the series. Oh, and it sounds like Maverick is getting his story next! So stay tuned for Wild Love coming December 2021!
Thank you for reading my thoughts, Laura
She's a figure skater. He's a hockey player. Things are about to heat up on the ice.
Rhett Rauthruss is single for the first time in six years. He's fresh off a long-term, long-distance relationship and ready to make the most of what's left of college.
Party with his boys, get to the Frozen Four with his team, and maybe play the field for a change.
Sienna Hale knows a thing or two about heartbreak. She's a college athlete about to skate for the last time, and nothing is going to throw her off course. Not her worries about finding a job after college, not the whispers of last year's accident on the ice, and not the cute hockey player who keeps asking her out.
They think they want different things, but when it heats up between them, there's no denying they have something in common--even if it's just for a night.
