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.

Checked, book 1 of the Boston Terriers Hockey series.
I thought it was a sweet read.
Can’t say I liked Tenley too much. Sometimes she acted beyond her years, and other times she acted like a 14 year old girl.. However, I did liked Clancy. But I still got the same problem with him as I did with Tenley.

If you’ve read Jacob Chance before you know he write sports romance better than most others out there. Well, this one wasn’t any different. Checked gave us more feels and real life than some of his other works and I LOVED that! Tenley was a great heroine and the perfect match for Clancy. Clancy, what can I say? I want to marry him and lick him and call him #mineminemine! This ‘Wilde Man’ was perfection. Caring and gentle and sweet, but also protective and fierce and sexy. Another great book by Jacob and now one of my top favorites too.
Jacob Chance is a fairly new author to me but if you love sports romance Checked is a must read !!
Book one in his new Boston Terriers Hockey Series and if this book is anything to go by he will certainly have a hit series on his hands.
Tenley Davenport and Clancy Wilde are both attending the same wedding, they have known each other for ages and Tenley has crushed on the hot hockey player for a while now so a night of passion seems the perfect solution to get over the attraction but little did this couple realise that night was going to change both their life’s forever …….
I loved everything about this couple and I loved getting to know them, this story captivated me from the first chapter to the last line. It’s a book that has all the feels, the perfect mix of passion and humour as well as a hint of angst and drama add in a great couple with great chemistry and you get a great read. Looking forward to the next instalment at the Boston Terriers because the secondary characters in this book surely have a take to tell.
Who does Sports Romance with a touch of spice and good loving, Jacob Chance. Another new series this time, hockey in Boston U and man if the men are anything like Clancy get ready for sexy, hot players. I loved that Tenley is all about school yet when it comes to Clancy everything just well disappears. This one is in a way unlike what Jacob Chance has written before. These two are awesome together and yet in tune with each other even hundreds of miles away. All in all it was interesting to see how these two can juggle with new love to a baby on the way. Loved it and cannot wait to see who is next in this new series.

Checked by Jacob Chance was this perfect fun and quick read. Totally awesome blend of rom-com, sports romance, friends-to-lovers, and surprise pregnancy all in one!
I LOVE COMBOS
Clancy Wilde and Tenley have known each other for years. Clancy’s cousin, Sophie, is also Tenley’s BFF at King University with Tenley goes to school. When they run into each other at a wedding they decide to have a wedding night hook up. I mean it’s only one night right? What could the harm be?
Well a few weeks, a few prayers to the porcelain god and some pee in a cup to the campus clinic and Tenley realizes she got more than just a good time that night.
How will Clancy and Tenley navigate a surprise pregnancy, a NHL dream, seven states between them, and pregnancy hormones?
This is a great slow burn romance with all the the fun, flirty, witty banter you could want. There are lots of lol moments as these two learn the ins and outs of dealing with an unexpected pregnancy and even more, unexpected love and jealousy.
Clancy Wilde is Everything. He’s charming and cocky and his ego is as big as his burly body. He’s also swoony, and sweet and caring. He was a terrified trooper! You can help but go wild, for Clancy Wilde!
Tenley is sassy and gorgeous! She also sensitive and cared deeply for Clancy. She was the perfect girl for him. Plus she was smokin hot!
I love all the characters cross overs from the BU and King University series. Clancy sharing what he was reading about. This has such a great amount of real life stuff, mixed in with everything you want in a perfect rom-com book! All of it, So.So.Great!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book.
My cr8zysockbookblock overall ratings for this book!
– I loved it! It was a great, quick read. Highly Recommend for Both Sports Romance and Surprise Baby Fans alike
– Only actually about three scenes in the book, but they are very hot, very sensual and perfectly detailed!
Cliffhanger Warning- PERFECT ENDING No cliffhanger
Checked is the first book in JChance’s new series – Boston Terriers Hockey. Clancy’s story is finally here!! The man so many fans of the Boston Terriers series have been waiting for since their first glimpse of him. It has everything you’d expect from a JChance RomCom… drama, love, and a swoon worthy athlete that you will never forget.
Wow! I have been a fan of this author for a while and have always said that he was very talented. But this book has blown me away. It was phenomenal! Great characters, amazing story and the writing is extraordinary. I could “feel” every emotion in Clancy and Tenley’s story. He captured them and their story perfectly.
I loved Clancy and Tenley. Checked is my all time favorite Sports Romance and new favorite from this author.
I can‘t wait to see what the author has for us in the future!
Where do I start? Jacob Chance isn’t new to me, I have a few of his books and have loved each and every one of them. He is best known for his sports romances, and although I am not massively into them myself, I can’t help but love his. He always seems to be able to give you more than just the sports romances and this book did just that too.
In CHECKED, the author gives us Tenlsey and Clancy’s love story, and it was one hell of a story, and an amazing start to what promises to an epic series.
Tensley has been longing for Clancy for years so when the chance to be with him comes up, even if it was just one night, she can’t pass it up, but what she thinks is just one night, will ultimately change her life forever, and his when she finds out she is now pregnant with his child.
Clancy, in my opinion, is every girl’s dream guy. He’s hot as hell, he’s sweet, he ambitious and bleeds hockey. Everything about him is hockey. He loves it and that isn’t about to change anytime soon. He isn’t the type to settle down, and if and when he wants someone he can normally get exactly what wants when he wants it. He’s every woman’s fantasy. But after a night hot, passionate sex with someone, he’s only known as a friend for so long. His whole life will start to change and could very change the path he is on in his life.
These two were hot as hell… Seriously, and the sexual tension and overall push and pull between them was enough to drive me bat shit crazy and I loved every second of it. These two were meant to be, although they start out as friends, you can clearly see both of them want more.
But is Clancy ready to be a father? Will it ruin what friendship they have left after that one night stand, or will it blossom into more? or fall apart altogether? Both of them were not ready for this but they are left to deal with and work themselves out and it is one hell of a story that Mr. Chance has delivered
The author doesn’t shy away from much. He brings heat and passion so intensely into this book, it will leave you squirming in your seat, but putting the heat factor side he also bring much more to the story. There are angst and drama, laughs and even a few moments of sadness. This book truly has it all and I can’t wait to read the next in the series.
5 Stars!
You can never go wrong with a sports romance from Jacob Chance! They are some of my favorites! In Checked, the first book in the Boston Terriers Hockey series, we get a delightful sports romance that had me laughing and feeling content. Clancy Wilde is arrogant and hot and he knows it. He is a hockey God at school and again, he knows it. Tenley has crushed on Clancy for a while, but so have most of the girls on campus. When they finally meet and have an amazing night together, their chemistry was amazing and off the charts!
Clancy did not see Tenley coming. He was focused and determined to reach his goals, but she entered his life and turned it upside down. I loved seeing these two together and working through surprises and more! Checked by Jacob Chance was such a great read and one I highly recommend!
4.5-stars. Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading!
This book!! Let me just tell you that it started out HOT! (I love how Jacob wrote the steamy scenes!) I won’t give it away, but this books begins with some heat. What follows is a sweet story. Tenley is in her junior year at university. She has always majorly crushed on her best friend’s cousin, Clancy. Clancy is a senior, president of his fraternity, and a major player on his hockey team. Did I mention he lives 7 states away? A wedding and an amazing night together tip off a long-distance love story cloaked in friendship. For being this 230 pound, fit, hockey player Clancy is the sweetest when he’s with Tenley. He’s all brawn on the outside, but protective and sweet on the inside. I really enjoyed Tenley’s character. She’s an independent woman with a feisty side. Definitely not the “take care of me” type.
Checked had everything I love in a book! Mix some steamy nights in with friendship and a good story line and you get a win. Side note, there’s a sweet surprise in this book. Plus, I think Clancy is definitely my book boyfriend of the week. If you’re a sports romance fan, you’ll love this one. 4.5 stars!
I absolutely adored CHECKED! Clancy and Tenley were perfect in every way! Clancy is a fun and loving guy with a protective side that would make any woman swoon! Tenley is just as fun with her quick wit! This read was super sweet with awesome banter that will make you laugh out loud! I can’t find the words to explain how much I loved this book! Just 1-click and read! You will not be disappointed!
I love Mr. Chance’s writing style. His series just seem to get better with each and every book. This is especially true with the Boston Terriers athletes. I simply adore young adults. They have captured my heart as they conquer opposing teams on the turf/rink and fall face first into unexpected relationships. I find this series to be fun, flirty, sexy, heartfelt and a pleasure to read.
Clancy Wilde has worked hard for years with one goal in mind, make it to the majors and get a contract with the NHL. His time is spent on school, on the ice, training or with his mom. He doesn’t have time for relationship. For Clancy it’s one and done, earning him the reputation of being “the Wilde Man” (both on and off the ice).
Tenley has lusted after Clancy, her best friend’s cousin, since she was in high school. He checks off all her boxes but she knows him to be a player and she just isn’t into one nighters. But when she bumps into him at her friend’s wedding, sparks fly and she gives into his offer for one night. After all, they live 7 states away from each other and why not make a least one of her dreams come true. But when one magical night turns into a baby on the way, both their lives are forever changed.
Checked will have you laughing, smiling and rooting for a happy ending. Kudos to the author for a wonderfully written storyline with outstanding down to earth characters. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars for an amazing book that I highly recommend grabbing up. You won’t be sorry you did.
Oh my gosh! This book was amazing! After reading each of the Boston Terriers books, I always proclaimed that was my new favorite. From the very moment we met Clancy, I knew he was special. For the simple reason he played hockey made this book a more pleasurable read. So, yes, Checked is my new favorite and I am looking forward to more hockey Romance from this author.
Clancy, was an amazing hero. And I couldn’t have loved him more. I found his character totally swoon worthy. There was so much more to Clancy then his physical attributes. So, so much more. And Tenley was a perfect match for him. I loved that she acted tough but inside she was vulnerable.
Another aspect of the story that was enjoyable was watching Tenley and Clancy work around a long distance relationship, even if it wasn’t an actual relationship they were in. It was difficult for them, being apart. But because neither new the depth of the others feelings, their situation was a bit tense. Even though Tenley and Clancy weren’t always on the pages together, they were always connected.
Another amazing read from this author. I highly recommend this book!
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it!
This is one book I have been waiting for, and OMG it was worth the wait. Jacob Chance has done it again he’s written a 5 STAR read. Checked Boston Terriers Hockey Book 1 is Clancy and Tenley’s Story. Once I started this book I just couldn’t put it down, I was so into the story. Clancy the hot Captain of the Hockey team, Hockey is his life it’s his dream then one night changes it all, but not everything goes how it should, will Clancy and Tenley find there HEA or will they be to afraid to speak about how they feel.
4.5 of 5 stars
Jacob Chance hits it in the net with CHECKED (Boston Terriers Hockey #1). In this story, Boston University’s hockey captain, Clancy Wilde, hooks up with his cousin Sophie’s best friend, Tenley, at a wedding; despite using protection, Tenley winds up pregnant. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult readers.
Jacob Chance does a great job with his character development and plot. Clancy has the reputation of being a player. He’s a nice guy who is hardworking. Tenley is a fun heroine. She is funny, smart, and witty. Tenley and Clancy have amazing chemistry. They sometimes misread each other causing conflict. They have interesting obstacles to overcome including her living in Washington D.C. and him living in Boston.
I really enjoyed this story. It is the first book that I read by Jacob Chance. I appreciate his writing style and will read more books by him in the future. I recommend this book to people who enjoy sports romances. I look forward to reading additional books in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Sports Romance perfection done right!!!
I never get tired of saying Jacob Chance knows his way around the genre of Sports Romance. He has the ability to connect you to his characters, his level of detail throughout his books is something that elevates him as one of my auto must click authors and his latest book Checked (Boston Terriers Hockey #) is pure sports perfection.
This is the first book in the Boston Terriers Hockey series and I could not wait to read my first Hockey romance. Checked is the Story of Clancy Wilde and Tenley Davonport. He is star of the BTHT and is the object of many girls affections. He’s built, deliciously handsome with his long blonde hair and has been Tenley’s crush for as long as she can remember. She is his cousins best friend, she’s stunning and any guy in his right mind could fall hard for her. Any guy that’s not Clancy that is, he has a plan for his hockey career and said plan does not involve having a girlfriend who could distract him from that.
When Tenley’s teenage crush gives her the one thing she never thought possible her world is flipped on its axis. Throw in a surprise pregnancy and some downright swoon moments and you can’t help but want to loose yourself through the pages. These two leads are loveable, entertaining and will make your heart burst a little.
If you’re a lover of all things Sports Romance and surprise pregnancies then this is a definite must click. I thoroughly enjoyed the first instalment in this new series.
Jacob Chance has once again seized his place at the top of the sports romance genre with Checked. Tenley and Clancy share one wild night together. Both know that there can be nothing more but life has a way of spinning out of your control especially when a surprise pregnancy is thrown into the mix.
Jacob Chance has a unique writing style that I fall for every time I read one of his books. His characters are so well written and real that they come to life effortlessly in my mind. His storylines have me wanting to keep turning the pages to find out happens next. The chemistry between Clancy and Tenley is sizzling. Checked also had me feeling very emotional in parts to laughing hysterically in others. I can’t praise this book enough and it leads the Boston Terrier hockey series off to a flying start.
Highly recommended.
5 Stars.
This is the 1st book in a new series from this talented author. Clancy is a cocky, alpha hockey player, and feisty Tenley certainly gives him a run for his money, and the chemistry between them is intense. 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. I highly recommend for all readers.
YESSSSS!! I loved loved loved this book!! CHECKED is by far and away one of my favorite romantic comedies of 2019. Jacob Chance excels at writing romantic comedy, and he created something extremely special with CHECKED. What an incredible, heartfelt, sweet, dynamic, and SWOONY read this one is. I fell head over heels in love with the storyline and characters, as well as Jacob’s writing and brilliant sense of humor. I was hooked from beginning to end, and couldn’t have loved Clancy and Tenley’s story more.
Get ready to meet your new swoon-worthy book boyfriend because Clancy was freaking swoon-worthy as all get out! I dare anyone not to fall madly in love with Clancy Wilde. Unapologetic in his confidence to the point of cocky but with the biggest heart imaginable when it came to the right person. Seriously, I cannot wait for everyone to fall for Clancy. He’s definitely arrogant and can be quite a handful but he’s also the sweetest and the most loyal hero ever. I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful this character is. Truly a standout hero in my opinion. Tenley was a firecracker and I loved her personality. She was kind yet outspoken, and I loved that she gave Clancy a run for his money. Tenley and Clancy’s chemistry together was on fire, and I loved how their relationship progressed throughout. I loved reading all of their playful, hilarious banter and interactions with each other. Clancy and Tenley have become one of my top favorite Jacob Chance couples, and it was an absolute delight reading their love story.
CHECKED is a sexy, addicting, swoon-worthy, laugh-out-loud MUST READ romantic comedy. I absolutely LOVED it! Jacob Chance outdid himself with Clancy and Tenley’s love story, and it has been one of my favorite romcoms from him to date. I loved the smiles, the emotions, the passion and just everything about this story. I went deep from the first chapter and did not come back to reality till I finished it. I didn’t want it to end. Too good, too perfect and too great.
I received a review copy before release for an honest review.
This book was really awesome but as I started reading it, it introduced some characters I had not read before, Sophie and Miles. Sophie is the best friend of the female star of this story, Tenley and Clancy, the male lead is her cousin. Miles is Sophie’s boyfriend and he is a minor character in this story, Sophie is pretty important as she is the big connection between T and C. So I went back and read their book Depravity. I highly recommend you read that story first. Clancy is not in the book at all but Tenley is and I loved getting the whole story by reading both books. Can you read this as a standalone, probably but you will miss a really great story in Depravity.
This story is Checked and its stars are Clancy who goes to college in Boston. He is on the hockey team and he is about to graduate and head to the NHL. He goes to visit his cousin Sophie who lives in Washington DC/Maryland and runs into her bestie who he has a crush on and who has a crush on him, Tenley at a mutual friends wedding.
The two end up hooking up for one night and well as you know she ends up pregnant. This is the story of how two very attracted to each other 20 year olds end up pregnant and how they deal with it and each other. Its not really a one night stand, these two have known each other for years and have liked each other a very long time but they both like being single. So its more about how they learn to move forward with each other and how they want the future to look.
It was a really wonderfully told story and I really enjoyed watching the characters in the two different colleges and getting to know their friends and how they made things work. I loved that Clancy is very selective on who he has sex with and I also loved how long Tenley has crushed on him.
I couldn’t get enough of Clancy and Tenley. We’re given a friends to lovers, sports romance and so much more. This is such a down to earth story that has me tearing up at times and smiling non stop. Clancy is such a gentleman and passionate with those he holds near and dear. I admire Tenley and the decisions she makes there are times I want to scream at her to speak up but in the end I would of probably done the same thing myself. A must read that needs to be bumped to the top of your TBR list.
