A “Brother’s Best Friend” romance that has it all! Reed and Etta burn up the pages with all the tension, temptation, and just enough angst. Don’t miss out, grab yours now!Gucci:It was supposed to be one night. One night with no labels. No rules. One night, just her and me.Etta is the only girl I can’t get out of my head. She’s the only line I can’t cross. She’s my best friend’s sister, and that … cross. She’s my best friend’s sister, and that means: no-go. Full stop.
It was the end of a painful summer where I forced myself to pretend she didn’t exist. There was no point in torturing myself with what I could never have. I didn’t plan to spend the night drinking with her. Or burning all her ex-boyfriend’s stuff. Or kissing her…
The alcohol, fire, and wild look in her eyes was too much to turn away from. Booze has a way of sucking the oxygen out of your fears and feeding it to the parts of your heart you starve. I was starving for her.
Now, we’re supposed to go back to college and pretend it never happened. Like, she’s still just the girl I grew up with and not this addiction burning in my veins.
I don’t want to sneak around behind my best friend’s back. But, Etta is more than just his little sister.
And, I need so much more than one night.

Fabulous!!
Eddie outdid himself with this one and I was in love with Player! I cannot wait for Griz!!
This was a best friend’s little sister with a twist and it was the twist that made you want to hold them both until their hurts were healed.
WOW
“Eddie once again has out done himself. I loved this book. Reed and Etta’s forbidden romance was a great one to read. It may have taken Aiden a while to be ok with their relationship, but all and all he knew that his best friend was the best man possible for his sister. The characters in this book and all of Eddie’s books are so relatable and easy to read about.
Proud member of Eddie’s ARC Team. “
Wow. Each book gets better and hotter. Eddie has out done himself on this book and the series. Etta and Reed’s story is fantastic, funny and sexy with it ups and downs, but love always wins out. Enjoy reading.
I loved Reed and Etta’s story. This forbidden romance is filled with plenty of tension, deep emotions, lots of internal turmoil, steamy heat, angst, sweetness and drama. I do have to admit to feeling some frustration with these two over their lack of communication. Regardless of that pet peeve, I really enjoyed this wonderful romance and am eager to read the next entry in this series. I am choosing to post a forthright review.
This is the type of romance novel I absolutely love. The characters are relatable and have a depth to them that makes them feel like a friend. The storyline flows and the writing style is on point, making the time fly by when you’re reading. It’s the perfect mix of emotion and joy that few autrirs have perfected. Maybe it’s the fact the author is a guy, but the depth that is brought to Reed is phenomenal and I actually appreciated him more than I did the female lead. Also, I love the fact that the drama isn’t drawn out and annoying like many in the genre today. I lived Player and I loved Gucci even more and would highly recommend Cleveland’s series. I can’t wait for Griz’s story to come out!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. Loved this book. I didn’t get to read the first book in this series but these books can be read as a standalone. Reed (Gucci) is Etta’s brothers best friend and has lived with their family since he was 12. They treated him like their own son. Reed has always felt something for Etta but the bro code always stopped him. Etta always liked Reed and wants to be with him but for now wants to keep it quiet.
Etta and Reed grew up together. He is her brotjer’s best friend and a total playboy. But what she doesn’t know is that he is secretly in love with her.
This is s steamy, fun and sweet read.

Wow! I love siblings best friend stories and this one was absolutely perfect. Reed “Gucci” wants Etta but she is his best friends sister. He knows it is against the code so he fights it with everything he has. Etta has been in love with Reed for years but is sure he only sees her as a sister. Their attraction to each other is off the charts, their connection unmistakable. Reed is a big, tough hockey player that is a big ol’ softie when it comes to Etta. Their story is full of emotions that keep you hooked through the entire read. I could not put their book down. Player’s book was wonderful, Gucci’s was amazing! I can’t wait for Griz.
After Reed’s (Gucci) mother passed away and his father goes to prison, he stays with Aiden (Griz), his sister Etta and their parents.
Now they all are in college. What Gucci and Etta share is crush on each other, they don’t do anything with this, until, Etta breaks up with her boyfriend and ends up alone with Gucci in the house.
They spend night together, but next morning her parents and brother are back and things between Etta and Gucci are awkward.
I loved and enjoyed this story very much
This is the second book in the series. You do not have to read Player before this book. Gucci can be a standalone book.
Gucci moved in with Griz and his family after his mom died and his dad went to prison. The book starts out when Gucci, Griz and Etta, Griz’s little sister, are in college. Gucci and Etta have a crush on each other but have not admitted it to anyone. One summer night before they went back to college Etta opens up and tells Gucci she wants to sleep with him. Everything was great until Griz and their parents get home the next morning. Now things get awkward.
I really enjoyed this book. Eddie Cleveland does a great job with character development. I think it helped when the author wrote the chapters from the different perspective. I feel I know the characters personally and I want to be friends with them. The book was emotional. My heart strings kept getting pulled when they would not tell their friends and family that they were together. I did not want them to keep hiding it. There were a handful of hot and steamy kink scenes. They were written very well. The one thing I do have to complain about is the numerous times that Gucci said he didn’t deserve Etta. That got old and I wanted it to stop.
I cannot wait for the next book Griz to come out.
I received an Advance Reader Copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A real great read! Reed, aka Gucci, is in an awkward position he has deep feelings for his best friend’s sister, but it doesn’t stop there, he’s been one of the family when they took him in rather than go into foster care, they treated him like a son. Etta breaks up with her cheating boyfriend and finds herself alone with Reed where comfort ends up going way farther. Now neither is sure how what’s next, is it a one night stand, will it break up friendships, how will her/their family feel. Great story of a couple trying to find the right fit as they maneuver through college, hockey, feelings and secrets. Real feels and conflicts as well as chemistry and loyalty makes this story pull you in! Really enjoying this series!
Eddie has done it again! He’s a fantastic writer and pulls you right into his books. You feel like you are right there with Reed and Etta, watching them navigate the complicated nuances of their relationship. This is an awesome series and I cannot wait for the next book to come out! Thanks Eddie for sharing your craft and passion with the world!
Gucci and Etta’s story is a great 2nd addition to the HOCKEY ROMANCE series , a fab storyline that’s well written and hooks you from the beginning and is another one to read from Eddie , I received an arc but also purchased the book for my Eddie collection. now looking forward to Griz’s book
I loved this book! I love the whole series! Gucci was a very enjoyable best friends little sister romance! I loved Reed and Etta! They were great together! Their story draws you in and keeps you reading until the end! I couldn’t put it down! Their shared history and their sizzling chemistry made for a fantastic story!
Eddie has written another fantastic book in the Collage Hockey Romance series! I can’t wait to get my hands on Griz! It’s going to be so good!
Reed grew up in the house of his friend. Now Griz, Etta, and Reed (Gucci) are at college. Griz and Gucci are on the hockey team. Reed and Etta have had secret crushes on each other. Reed believes he can’t betray the family and best friend. However, one day when the family was gone, it happened. If it wasn’t for the dog barking when the family came home they would have been found naked sleeping in the back yard. From there, they pretty much ignore one another and their feelings. Will they ever come out with their secret? Will they be able to love one another in the open? I received an ARC of this book and I am giving an honest review.
I loved loved loved Gucci!!
Reed and Etta are fighting the whole falling in love with your best friends younger sister scenario. After a miscommunication between the two they decide to see how things go before telling Aiden, Reed’s best friend and Etta’s big brother. Unfortunately waiting to tell Etta’s parents and Aiden about their relationship result in feelings being hurt. Trying to make amends makes things even worse. Reading how Reed and Etta figure out the complicated situation and how Aiden deals with it all made for a very gripping story.
4.5 Stars
Another really good story in this series. Reed and Etta have a relationship based on history and friendship but each wishes it could be more. Loved these two and their journey!

Bu then one night while everyone is away except for her and she is upset they have a hot encounter.
But both them start avoiding each other after a misunderstanding.
Etta’s brother Griz has some drama in his life. Then when drama ends and he is feeling hurt.
Etta tells Reed and Griz how she feels about Reed.
Reed is happy but not Griz.
Will Griz finally accept them?
Can not wait for Griz’s story
Eddie Cleveland has done it again!!! What a great story!! Reed is a college hockey player, best friends with Etta’s brothers and living with them. They have history, chemistry and friendship. The story flows so well, you will not want to put it down.
I loved Gucci! I started reading it and it need up staying up all night to finish it because I couldn’t stop. The relationship between Aiden and Etta was full of ups and downs. They had such a long history and I enjoyed the back story. They had their issues and you saw they way the tackled them. I really enjoyed the different perspectives from Etta and Aiden depending on the chapter! I would definitely recommend this book!!! I can’t wait for the next in the series!
