They call him ‘Wilde Man’. Rumor has it he’s an animal on the ice and between the sheets.Like the rest of the female population, I’ve been crushing on Clancy Wilde, the captain of Boston University’s hockey team, since the first time I saw him. Big, blond, and charming, he ticks all the boxes. When we find ourselves at a wedding, drunk and flirting, I know I can finally check this tattooed, bad … this tattooed, bad boy, hockey player off my wish list.
One night is all it was meant to be, until I see two pink lines on the pregnancy test.
How did the notch on my belt turn into a ball and chain?

A cute story about a college couple who have known each other for a while. Wished it was fleshed out a little more.
This sports romance is romantic, sweet, sexy and funny. Clancy and Tenley have undeniable chemistry. Their attraction is magnetic and irresistible. The banter is witty and they spar so well with one another. They share an intense connection that neither expected. Tenley tries to resist Clancy’s charm but is powerless to stop the fall and he is determined to win her over. I loved how they slowly fell in love; it was breathtaking to read. The characters are well-developed and relatable. The storyline is well-written. This beautiful love story is sweet, steamy and heart-melting. I loved every second and highly recommend this book!
Tenley and Clancy are so freaking cute. Their chemistry was evident from the very beginning, and while their story took some twists and turns, it wound up just as I hoped it would. I was so thrilled to finally be able to read Clancy’s story; this big ‘ol hockey player has a big ‘ol heart, and he made me swoon on more than one occasion. And Tenley is such a strong, independent woman, one who grows by leaps and bounds as she faces a future she wasn’t quite prepared for. Together, they make an incredible couple who beat the odds and grow in ways that made my heart happy. What a great start to this series! Can’t wait for more!
Loved the characters… Could not out it down until I was done… Highly recommend
A sweet story. Clancy and Tenley know each other through Clancy’s cousin. Both have appreciated each other from afar for years. They get their moment at a mutual wedding which results in a pregnancy.
CHECKED is by far and away one of my favorite romantic comedies of 2019. This is a beautifully written romantic comedy, which is sweet, heartfelt, humorous, and with witty banter. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page-turner, and look forward to reading more in this fascinating series. So if you are looking for a book with sexy hockey players, witty banter, surprise pregnancy, steamy scenes, lots of laughs, and all the feels, then you NEED this book!

If you’re a fan of Jacob Chance’s books, you can’t pass this amazing deal.
Checked is a lighthearted steamy read, featuring Clancy Wilde, the “Wilde man” from The Boston Terriers series and Tenley Davonport from the King University series.
Checked is everything we expect from a Jacob Chance book! Hot, sexy athlete, fun, sassy, smart heroine.
Clancy and Tensley’s story was perfect! There were plenty of hilarious moments, along with all the steamy scenes we love. These two may just be my new favorites from Chance. Clancy is the type of guy we all want to meet and Tensley is the type of woman we would all want to be friends with.
Checked is the first book in the Boston Terriers Hockey series and I can’t wait to see what he gives us in the next books. He set a pretty high bar with Clancy!!
Another awesome story and great start to a new Jacob Chance series! Accidental pregnancy stories have been hit or miss for me lately, but I liked how this one was presented, because obviously the situation would have been a justified reason to freak out, but Clancy and Tenley handled the situation pretty well, minimal angst and obviously a reshuffling of their life’s priorities. I liked how Clancy and Tenley were developed; they’re characters previously introduced in the Boston Terriers series, so getting a chance to learn more about them was fantastic.
This was my first romance by a male author. I loved it. Well written, great story. Kept me interested from start to finish. I will definitely read more from this author.
A one night stand with the man who you have had a crush on forever. But you know he doesn’t do relationships. But that one night changes your whole life. These two pull at your heart strings while they try to find out who they love and why they love and learn to live in that love !!! Really enjoyed this book!!!
This was my first read by author Jacob Chance and it won’t be my last. I like his writing style and how he incorporated sports and romance into his story.
Tensley and Clancy’s story was light and fun. I enjoyed how the the characters interacted with each other and also how well the story flowed.
The way these two grew into each other was so heart warming. Their banter was also a favorite of mine because it was cute when they both were conflicted on how to fully express themselves.
I like that in a critical time in both Tensley and Clancy’s life and with them both being so young, their friends showed them so much support.
Overall it’s a really good book and I’m looking forward to reading more from Jacob Chance
This contemporary sports romance is a great read and I totally enjoyed the characters and story line. The chemistry between Clancy and Tenley was undeniable and has been brewing for quite some time!
Clancy Wilde is the captain of the Boston University Hockey team and has no time for a girlfriend/baby as he has his eyes firmly set on achieving his dream of playing hockey in the NHL.
Tenley Davenport is in her junior year at King University and has no plans to settle down. Her dream is to become a middle school teacher, not a single parent.
Can they work on their relationship while being seven states apart? What about the baby? Their dreams? What will they have to sacrifice to make each other happy?
This was the first book in Boston Terriers Hockey series and I cannot wait for more!
Love sports romance and this one topped the charts for me. Clancy last name almost suits him “Wilde”, but he is more than that. He is a very smart hockey player, he knows what he wants, and he has goals set for himself. Now sitting at a wedding he sees someone that has sparked his interest over the years, his cousin’s best friend Tenley.
Tenley has always burned a candle for Clancy, she has written his name in her journal for years. These two offer each other the passion they have wanted but never acted on it. You can’t help but not fall for them and root for them to move past the friendship to lovers.
“Forget the apple, Tenley is my original sin and I plan to devour her completely”

I love a good hot romantic sports comedy, Checked was definitely just that. This was a fantastic read that hit all of the feels: love, hot, steamy, hate and don’t forget that I wanted to throw my kindle a few times. I loved the authors writing style. The story flowed perfectly and was very well written.
The chemistry between Clancy and Tenley was undeniable. You can tell from page one the connection between the two of them. I loved Clancy’s determination of his dreams; which did not include a baby and girl. I adored Tenley for her calmness and not a worry in the world. Between the author and the characters, I felt like I was right there with them.
Jacob Chance is a new to me author and I am looking forward to reading more by him. Checked is the first book in the Boston Terriers Hockey Series. I can’t wait to get a hold of book two.
Awesome as always
Jacob Chance never fails to give us an awesome book to read! Clancey and Tenely’s slow burn romance was so well written, I couldnt put the book down! I can’t wait to read Oliver’s story in book 2!!!
Excellent start to this series! I love surprise baby books, Checked has a great storyline and Clancy and Tenley are wonderful characters. It’s a must read and I’m looking forward to reading Iced, Oliver’s book.
I love a good wedding hookup, surprise pregnancy and her best friend’s older brother/cousin crush. This book combines all three into a sweet, steamy love story. My first read by Jacob Chance and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really, really liked it. I will be adding Jacob Chance on to my TBR list for sure.
5 star review of Checked (Boston Terrier’s Hockey #1) by Jacob Chance
It’s true what they say, all it takes is one night for your life to be changed forever. That’s what happens to Clancy Wilde, captain of Boston University’s hockey team and the woman who was supposed to be a hook-up at his cousin’s wedding, Tenley Davenport.
I enjoyed everything about this book. From start to finish Jacob Chance wove such an engaging story that I couldn’t help but be drawn in.
Clancy is focused on making it in the big league and has no time for a relationship despite the fact that he has been attracted to Tenley for years whilst Tenley is focused on graduation having long admired Clancy from afar.
I fell hard and fast for Clancy, not only is he hot, but he is totally swoon worthy and an all around nice guy and I loved Tenley, such a sassy and fun woman. These two together were a great pairing and I really wanted them to get their happily ever after.
There was humour, drama, angst and romance and suspense which had kept me thoroughly entertained,
This is a little gem that I couldn’t put down.
Tenley is at a wedding and one of her all time crushes sits next to her. What’s a girl to do? Well she wanted to brush him off. The heart wants what it wants, and they have an amazing night.
Clancy is known as “The Wilde Man.” He is not really a player, though most assume he is. With his connection to the frat, and sports, it is assumed. He is a good person at heart, however, and cannot get his mind of the one chance he had with Tenley.
I loved the banter and the heat that blasted right into the beginning of the book. Right from the get go you know about the smoke that leads to the fire between these two. It felt stilted at times, and I was a little frustrated about the stiff pieces of conversation now and again. Yet, the story overall was so good – so compelling – I could not wait to see what happened next. What happened? I read the book! I am excited to see what comes next from this new series.
