But as much as she loves the life she has, she feels like their is something vital missing. She craves romantic connection and intimacy, but being brave enough to go after it is another story… her past keeps holding her back.

This tale brings you into the lives of Becca and Owen, long time friends who are about to take their friendship to a whole new level in order to help Becca embrace her intimate side again. This little plan leads these two on a path that heals wounds, inspires a little bravery, and steams up the pages something fierce. Fair warning you might need to have a fan handy before you crack the cover on this one, these two set the pages a fire!! Owen is everything you could want in a book boyfriend, he’s alpha to the bone, always charming, sweet and caring when the moment calls for it, and knows what it takes to keep his lady satisfied! I loved every single second of this story, the pages held everything necessary to leave my heart happy, and craving more! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
Holy Moly!!! This one hit me smack dab in the heart!! A slow build up of anticipation had me turning the pages as fast as i could! Patient is definitely a virtue!! Kind, considerate, sweet and sensual, comes to mind when trying to describe Owen! The chemistry between Becca and Owen was off the charts!! Tragedy is confronted with love and love undoubtedly conquers!! Another amazing story by Kendall that will leave you satisfied in all aspects!!
Owen is a hockey player and the epitome of a hot jock. One of his best friends is Becca who works for the team he plays for. Becca is also best friends with his younger sister Elise. They’re such great friends that Becca asks Owen for a favor to help her overcome her fears with relationships with men. And he agrees… Along the way they both make discoveries about themselves that changes the course of their relationship.
I’m not a sport fan, but of all the different games I’ve watched in person, hockey is hands down the most enjoyable for me. Kendall writes a hockey series? Sign me up! Sets it in Seattle? Can I watch you write it?!?!? (low key kidding)
I loved Owen and Becca’s story. Their friendly banter and relationship proves that men and women CAN be friends. Kendall Ryan has a way with words that just pulls me in from the first page. I can’t wait for the next installment in this series…. which by the looks of it is Teddy and Sara’s story.
**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
When you combine two of my favorite things, Kendall Ryan and a sports romance, you have a winning combination for sure! I was really excited to read this book and it was everything I was hoping it would be.
Becca and Owen have been best friends for a long time. They were introduced when Becca and Owen’s sister became friends and the two of them have always had a special bond. Owen is a hockey player and is known for his prowess with the ladies. He’s earned the reputation he has. On the other side of the coin, Becca is struggling with wanting to take a chance on intimacy again following a harrowing attack she experienced in college. The only thing is every time she’s faced with moving forward with any kind of intimacy, she freezes.
Knowing there is one man that Becca feels 100% comfortable with, she approaches Owen with a proposition that he help her explore intimacy again and give her some hands-on training and tips. As the two of them explore, feelings begin to change and things become more real between the two. Will this not only be the thing that gets Becca back to feeling more comfortable, but will it also be the thing to tame a notorious ladies man?
The chemistry between Becca and Owen was amazing. The fact that they had such a strong friendship as a relationship base made it that much better. This definitely had it’s emotional and serious moments, but seeing how strong, fierce and focused Becca was to overcome the past events was wonderful. Owen was equally awesome with how he handled his best friend and how protective and loving he was of her. This was such a fantastic tale and I can’t recommend it enough!
Friends to lovers, pushing the boundaries of friendship, always one of my favourites genres. Add in Kendall Ryan’s wonderful writing and storytelling, and it’s a win win for me. I loved Owen and Becca in the first book of the Hot Jocks series, so I was excited to read their story. I love the playboy who can’t commit to more than one night, who finally lets himself have more, and Owen is 100% that playboy. Becca, was sweet, honest to a fault, and didn’t take any bull**** from Owen, she faced her fears head on and was open to suggestions both in and out of the bedroom. Sweet, extremely sexy, and enjoyable sports romance, because, yes, let’s not forget about the hockey. I loved it from start to finish. This is book 2 in the Hot Jocks series, but can quite easily be read as a stand-alone. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author, this is my honest review.
* A review copy was provided by the author *
I have probably said this before, but I am a HUGE of fan of Kendall Ryan books. I have ready EVERY book she has released and I have LOVED everyone of them. After reading Playing For Keeps (Hot Jocks Book 1) I couldn’t wait to read All The Way (Hot Jocks Book 2) and I will say this…..I was not disappointed. I loved every word and Owen Parrish is AMAZING!!!
All the Way is the second book in Kendall’s Hot Jocks series. This series focuses on a group of NHL Hockey stars and the women who tame them. After meeting Owen in book 1, I couldn’t wait to see how she was going to tame the ultimate playboy. This book is a standalone novel told in Dual POV. Each of these books can be read in any order. We do see the characters from book 1 in this story but nothing is really spoiled if this book is read first. I would only suggest reading Playing for Keeps first because then you get the FULL understanding of who Becca and Owen are.
This book is a fairly quick read, but as with all Kendall’s books, it lacked for nothing. We got all the feels we normally get when reading a romance novel. I thought this book was the perfect mix of romance and Hockey but it also had an emotional side to it.
This story is not only a sports romance, but it is also a friends to lovers story. Owen and Becca have been best friends for many years. They met through Owen’s sister Elise (heroine in book 1) and became fast friends. So much so that Becca turned to Owen when she wanted help getting past her past. Becca went through a traumatic situation when she was a freshman in college and it has taken her 6 years to try to get past it and take a chance at intimacy again. This is where Owen comes in. Becca comes up with an arrangement for Owen to help her break down her walls when it comes to the opposite sex. She has always felt comfortable and safe around him, so she can’t think of anyone better to help her. Will Owen cross the line and help Becca?? What happens when things become more?? Can they get their HEA?? Read this fun and entertaining story to find out.
I liked seeing Justin and Elise again in this book, but I really liked seeing more of Teddy. I look forward to his book next…Trying To Score. Just from the blurb, I think that book is going to be interesting 😉
If you are a fan of Kendall Ryan books, you NEED to read this story. You will love Owen and Becca just as much as I did. If you have started on this journey of Kendall’s books yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, this would be the perfect place to start. Trust me, once you pick up your first Kendall Ryan book you will be hooked.
I really enjoy sports romance books! Even more so when its a best friends to lovers story and this one was something else!
Can Playboy Owen be tamed??!
Is the proposition Becca asks of him going to risk their friendship or bring them closer together! Needless to say the ride is amazing and Becca is rather brave, especially with the thoughtful Owen at her side!! Hes rather swoonworthy when he gets going!!
I think what I enjoyed most was the beautiful friendship they have and how open they are with each other! The banter was great and the teasing moments but also there were some tender as well as steamy parts too!
This really was the most enjoyable story! I finished it with a smile on my face and I really didn’t want their story to end!
I love Beccas friendships with her girlfriends too, how fun and also supportive they are!
A really amazing entertaining read!
This Hot Jocks Series is getting better and better and as always Kendall Ryan has given us a book that will entertain and not be forgotten, it has characters you will love and the witty banter flows so naturally throughout but this book also a serious side because Becca needs to get her confidence back and move forward with a man she can trust and that happens to be her best friends brother and NHL player Owen. Owen is a player by trade and player by life he never normally spends more than one night with a girl so when a drunken Becca asks him to help her he is really not sure he is the man for the job but Becca is determined and she eventually wears him down and that’s when the fun and games really begin…..
This is a friends to lovers romance and it has the perfect mix of passion and humour add in the Hockey angle and this book will appeal to multiple genres. It’s not only banter this couple share the chemistry is intense and I was captivated from the first page to the last line. A book I read in one sitting which happened to be the middle of the night should give you a clue as to how good I think this book is so please don’t hesitate one click this entertaining read now. Looking forward to the next in this great series.
While completely drunk Becca asks her best friend for a favor – an intimate favor and although Owen allows it to happen it sets the ball rolling in a way neither of them ever imagined. Becca needs to recover from her past and there is no better man for the job than Owen. But what happens when the friendship becomes so much more? Can best friends build a relationship as lovers? With simply adorable characters and a story that had me laughing out loud as well as sighing with appreciation. this was another great read from Kendall Ryan. I cannot wait to see where this series goes with the next book!!
I loved Owen and Becca’s story. He was so patient with her. I really liked her character when she was introduced in Justin and Elise’s book. This was a sweet story, and Owen from the beginning was nothing like I thought he’d be.
Damn was i looking forward to this book.
When i read the end of Justin and Elise’s book and you had the snippet of this book i was instantly hooked and wanting more.
Everytime i read a Kendall Ryan book I’m in shock that a book could effect me this way and always in surprise that it got better than the last one.
Owen and Becca was absolutely amazing.
Literally that first chapter hooks you so well that you don’t want to put it down for anything.
Becca was a fighter, she didn’t let her past define her which i absolutely loved, she knew she had her weaknesses but she knew what they was and tried her best to overcome them.
Owen was drool worthy, he wanted to help Becca anyway he could and when she come to him for that he instantly thought he was he man for it.
I’m absolutely loving this series so hard right now.
Having loved Book 1 in this series, I was anxiously awaiting Book 2, Owen and Becca’s story. I was NOT disappointed. I knew there would be lots more to Owen than what we got to see in Book 1 and I was right. He’s the team’s sexy, playboy Goaltender who finds himself falling for his friend, Becca, the team owner’s assistant. Their chemistry is palpable, and when they finally get together, it combusts. This book is a great combination of steamy, sexy, and sweet. Owen is so tantalizingly tender, sexy and thoughtful you just want to reach out and grab him for yourself. I found Becca to be smart, sweet and very likable. I like when I can relate to the characters in a book. You are captured at the beginning of the story and you can’t wait to find out what will happen at the end. This book does just that. I love a great friends-to-lovers story. If that’s your thing too, then do not miss All the Way by Kendall Ryan. I hope you love it as much as I do!
