Gigi Graham is the daughter of Garrett and Hannah Graham! Her goals is to qualify for the women's national hockey team and step out of her father's shadow. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. 

Luke Ryder is Briar's new hockey co-captain is sexy as hell but he's still the enemy. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression. So, he gets into a compromise with Gigi. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. 

Okay Ryder has some serious sex appeal... "Is that what you need from people? To be told what a good girl you are" PHEWWWWW! And these two have some major chemistry, it just jumps out of the page. 

CHAPTER 20! Go read it. Ryder offers to relieve Gigi of stress through physical activities and its just *chef kiss*! 

"I came to kiss you."
"You... drove all the way here to kiss me."
"Yes"
"I... You...." :)

 What an unexpected by AMAZING read!

The Good Part opens with Lucy despairing about her living situation, love life, and job. One typical crappy night she happens into a store with a wishing machine. She wishes to skip to the good part of her life. AND IT WORKS! She wakes up next to a gorgeous older man, 2 kids, and a dream job. Theo only problem is she can't remember how it all happened.

I truly enjoyed this book. I loved all the characters. I thought the writing was easy to read and quite funny at parts, I loved loved loved Sam! I mean that man did all the right things - he's was perfect. The way the story unfolded really kept me interested the entire time.

For fans of 13 going on 30, freaky friday, click and other 90s classic movies this one is for you!

4.5 stars!

There was too much internal dialogue and "woe is me" for my liking. Loved the small town concept and supporting characters tho. Logan was mehhh - his character was suppose to be grumpy but he seemed like a he was always whining and pouting.
