After my life goes sideways in the middle of sophomore year, I'm forced to move in with my older brother and two of his hockey teammates. I'm less than thrilled at the idea of living with three athletes and their stinky gear, their rotating door of hookups, and their tendency to inhale every snack in the house.

But when I walk in the front door with an armload of boxes, I'm faced with another problem entirely.

Hades.

One of my new roomates is the tall, tattooed stranger from my one-night stand on Halloween.

*

This is a continuation of the Offside universe, but can be be read as a complete standalone.

Seraphina's sanity has been hanging on by a thread. She's changed schools to be closer to her mom who's working through a cancer diagnosis, she doesn't know what she wants to pick for her major, and her ADHD is doing her no favors. Tyler is also going through a difficult time, walking the fine line between grinding hard and burning out. He's dealing with heavy expectations from his team, himself, and his entire family when Seraphina aka his one night stand from 3 months ago walks into his apartment - newly introduced as his best friend's little sister who's temporarily moving in. The pressure is getting to both of them, somehow they have to survive living together while acting like they've never met and simultaneously fighting the attraction neither of them forgot.

Just wow! Avery's writing just seems to be getting better and better. Shutout has a great storyline that paced really well. It gave me some serious laugh out loud moments - a la an awkward audio book accident in the car - while also pulling on my heartstrings with some deeper, heart-rending issues about love, loss, and accepting what's beyond our scope of control. Shutout is really a character driven story though, and her character development was en pointe. Sera was just awesome. She really struggles with her ADHD, but she's smart, funny, and loves at full blast. Tyler is just like her in some ways and totally opposite in others. He's also struggling with anxiety about all the pressure he's under, but rather than flaking out, he hyper focuses and obssesses his problems to burnout. But he's also intense and sweet and thoughtful. The two of them just really work together. It was sweet to see how she gets him to chill out while he seems to know exactly what she needs to center herself. The chemistry between them is super hot and while they get tortured with their attempt to be "just friends", it really allowed their relationship to develop organically considering they started off as a ONS. Shutout is a total hit for me and sure to please anyone looking for an angsty (but not too angsty) sports romance.

Shutout is the second book in the Rules of the Game series by Avery Keelan. It can be read as a complete standalone, but best enjoyed when read in series order. It is told in first person, from dual perspective.

I see y'all are fan girling this book and maybe that's what gave me high expectations?

Fucking take a shot every time you read the words "rose gold". You honestly might die by 35%. There is so much emphasis on her gd hair. I really think Avery thought she was doing something there. Sheesh. 馃槷鈥嶐煉�
You can try the same game with "pink" but you would definitely die almost immediately. We get it. She likes pink. But not in the same way you like pink. It's DiFfErEnT okay? She has ADHD 馃き

While I appreciate representation of ADHD struggles, it was a bit much. Like insane the amount of times it was brought up and consumed the FMC's identity. Like it was def used to try to make her that 鉁╩anic pixie dream girl鉁� style of unique. *Cringe*
And of course the MMC just thought it was so cute to boot 馃檭
He was so nice lol. I was thinking like silent, broody, moody goalie 馃敟 Everyone keeps being like "he doesn't talk much usually..." The guy doesn't shut up 馃槀 he's like a complete and total open book as soon as the FMC shows up. And is like totally in touch with his emotions the entire gd time. 馃し鈥嶁檧锔� There seemed to be some issues with character development. Like it wanted to be that asshole, broody, alpha/manic pixie dream girl sunshine trope but it didn't quite make it there 馃槙 womp womp

Also don't think the friend's brother side plot thing even needed to be included. Like ?????? Why? No repercussions for him grooming her and continually creeping on her? Okay 馃憤

Idk maybe this ya/new adult thang just ain't thangin for me. There was a scene that was supposed to be like super hot and it specifically said "I heard music in the background,Taylor Swift I think..." and I thought oop I just aged out of this series 馃槀馃ゴ

4.5 stars! Shutout is a new hockey romance from Avery Keelan, and after loving Offside by this author I could not wait to dive into this next book in the same series! This is a sports (hockey) romance, they become roommates after sharing a previous one-night-stand hook up, he鈥檚 her brother鈥檚 friend and teammate, a pierced and tattooed broody hero, and a sunshiny heroine with ADHD!

Tyler is the goalie for his college hockey team and his career is under a lot of pressure when the story starts; from himself, his dad (who is also his agent), his trainers, and the prospective team he鈥檚 waiting to get a call from. Seraphina recently moved from Arizona to Massachusetts to be near her mother who is going through cancer treatments. She ends up moving in with her brother Chase (hero of book 1, Offside) and his hockey teammate roommates. She had hooked up with a mystery man at a club鈥檚 masquerade ball on Halloween and is shocked to realize it is Tyler, one of her brother鈥檚 teammates and her new roommate!

I loved the dynamic between Tyler and Sera. The back and forth texting banter and playing 鈥�21 questions鈥� throughout was so fun. I loved seeing them get to know one another and how sweet and protective he is towards her. They keep their nicknames from their Halloween costumes throughout the story, Hades for him and Tinker Bell for her. They have to keep their relationship under wraps and a secret from her brother at first. Sera has ADHD (from the author鈥檚 own experience) and that is touched on throughout the book. This book was a lot shorter than the previous book in the series, which was nice 馃槄, but I did want more hockey action/time in this one. I just had a fun time with this one and flew through it, I just love this author鈥檚 hockey romances!

I鈥檓 FULLY aware I am causing this self-inflicted pain by continuing to read bad hockey romances but that鈥檚 what happens when you don鈥檛 have a love life <3 so many bad things about this book let me name a few: fmc brother might be in love with her, she also has a best friend who鈥檚 brother is a pedophile, she used the word 鈥渕ethinks鈥� unironically, pregnancy etc etc etc stay away

4.5 猸愶笍!! OBSESSED!! Hockey romance, teammates sister, and no third act breakup!

This was so fun, sweet, extra spicy, and so heartfelt! Sera & Tyler were both so perfect for each other. A grumpy quiet goalie who meets his teammates younger sister who loves pink, reads spicy books, and has ADHD (loved this representation)!

Also the way the couple communicated and worked through struggles together!! I loved it. I normally hate brothers best friend romances but this was the exception!!

There is a lot of deeper topics in this book and it was handled with the upmost care and respect and I really appreciated that.

Overall, obsessed, amazing, loved it!

This dealt with some more serious topics than the previous one, yet I found it adorable nonetheless馃檶

Off-topic: why is it that between reads I always go to college sports romances as a palate cleanser, but after a while don't remember the specifics of said sports romances? Is anyone else here like that?馃憠馃憟

The couple was great together, and in general, it was a great college sports romance馃憣

This was one of my most anticipated hockey romances for this year. And it did not disappoint, I devoured this in one sitting and could not put it down. College romance, emotional scenes, hockey, hot broody hero with tattoos, and a snarky wild girl that鈥檚 here for a fun time鈥bsolutely!! You need to read this.

Seraphina is temporarily moving in with her brother, Chase, and his teammates while she is in the middle of transferring schools to be closer to her family. What she doesn鈥檛 expect is to see 鈥淗ades鈥�, the hottest one night stand she ever had.
Tyler, aka Hades, is the broody tatted goalie, who only focuses on hockey and has no time for distractions. However, when he sees Sera it all changes.

Tyler and Sara's story was full of hard truths and finding someone you can lean on without any judgement. This story was the perfect amount of tension and slow-burn. I ate up all the adorable scenes, banter and of course spice! Tyler and Sera have so much undeniable chemistry, and seeing their friendship and feelings developso naturally was enjoyable to read. Let鈥檚 not forget that Tyler has the filthiest mouth and also pierced, and I absolutely love it!

Thank you to Avery and Wordsmith Publicity for the eARC.

Overall: 4.75
Spice: 3.5

Tropes:
- Sports romance
- Brother鈥檚 Teammate
- Forced Proximity
- Roommates
- Secret Relationship
- ADHD Rep

5 freaking stars because Avery has done it again! I honestly didn't expect anything less than perfection from Ty and Sera's book and I thoroughly enjoyed every single second of reading it. The gradual progression of their relationship as well as so many of the heartfelt moments throughout the book had me swooning. The chemistry and smut was fantastic, per usual and I absolutely adored those little moments that we got to see of ChaseBailey and DallasShiv as well. I'm really looking forward to reading the next books in this series - particularly a *ahem* certain scorned hockey player and a sweet, averse to dating someone ifykyk馃槒

I liked this! It was fluffy, emotional, and soft but I liked it. I think my favorite part was Ty鈥檚 hockey career, and how it was more realistic than a lot of other sports books. It wasn鈥檛 just 鈥渉e鈥檚 the best鈥� or 鈥渘o one can take him down鈥�, you could feel the pressure he was experiencing. He wasn鈥檛 the perfect goalie most authors might write. I respect that, all athlete experience pressure and have breaking points. Overall I enjoyed the experience.

MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK. EVER.

& I 100% mean it this time. I went in knowing that I would fall in love, but this book truly blew it out of the ballpark for me, and Ty and Sera are the perfect couple.

If you love hockey romance, you must pick up an Avery Keelan book, and one of them has to be this one.

Sera is the wild gal that we all wanted to be in college 鈥� cute pink hair, the wildest partying, and everything in between. But when she moves in with her brother after transferring universities? She finds out that she鈥檚 now roommates with the hottest one night stand that she鈥檚 ever had.

And he really is THAT hot. Ty is teammate鈥檚 with Chase Carter, and as much as I hate to say it, he鈥檚 100x hotter than Chase. All broody, with tattoos and hockey goalie hands (yup, I went there. Took a note from Seraphina鈥檚 book!).

The perfect amount of tension and slow burn, all the heat, the adorable scenes and banter (between all the characters, not just Sera and Ty, although there鈥檚 SO much of that too), and the group dynamics, all come together to make the perfect read.

College romance, emotional scenes, hockey, hot broody hero with tattoos, and a snarky wild girl that鈥檚 here for a fun time? Yup. You need this.

Best book I鈥檝e read this entire year. You MUST read it now.

Thanks Avery for the lovely ARC. I cried like a baby because I loved it so much, and I absolutely don鈥檛 think I鈥檒l love another book as much as I love this one anytime soon. All opinions are my own, and no, I鈥檓 not biased. I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK!!! 馃グ馃グ馃グ馃グ

Grumpy, silent goalies >>>

Sera and Tyler had a ONS and didn鈥檛 exchange names or numbers. Flash forward to Sera moving in with her big brother Chase and two teammates, what could possibly go wrong?

Tyler was everything!! He cared about Sera so so much. And Sera鈥檚 ADHD hit me straight through the heart. I haven鈥檛 read a more relatable fmc in such a long time. Neurospicy girlies, you鈥檙e gonna feel SEEN.

There鈥檚 a lil angst, a whole lot of sneaking around, and such fun banter between the two of them.

Thank you so much Avery and Wordsmith Publicity for an arc of this book! It鈥檚 out now 馃挋

Tyler is simultaneously the hottest and tatted hockey goalie and the softest sweetheart for Ser. As a goalie scouted for the pros, Tyler is under immense pressure, from his father and future, and from himself. My heart aches for Tyler sooo much. He鈥檚 passionate and dedicated, but the stress he feels to be perfect.

Seraphina was sooo relatable, and her struggles with finding herself and her aimlessness hit hard. What I loved was how Avery explored Ser鈥檚 ADHD in a way that was true and respectful, as a part of what makes Seraphina her. As the plot continued, my heart broke for Ser and her struggles. The way Avery has written Ser made me empathise with her something fiercely.

Both Tyler and Seraphina have their own challenges they face, and while still so young and while in college. Their resilience and dedication is something I admire and love.

Reading this was so comforting. Ty and Ser have this undeniable chemistry, and seeing their friendship and feelings develop as they did was so sweet. But also, Ty has the filthiest mouth, and I am here for it! What begins as one night together, develops into a beautiful relationship about two aimless souls finding and complementing each other.

My only wish was to have more of Ty and Ser 馃槶 I just wanted to see them develop more after the big news at the end and see them lean on and support each other. I wouldn鈥檛 be opposed to a bonus epilogue 鉂わ笍

Thank you Wordsmith Publicity for the ARC.

This was my first Avery Keelan book, and surprisingly I love it (even after a re-read). I cant exactly pinpoint why, perhaps its the description of Tyler鈥檚 tattoos (sighs), his dedication to hockey, his gentleness towards Sera and how he cared for her. And that control room scene is imprinted in my mind. 馃槣 And I love their ongoing questions game and how it spiraled them into a relationship unknowingly.

I am so excited for Chloe & Reid. Jesus, Reid intrigued me so much. Can't wait for their book!

I've loved every book of hers that I've read and Shutout is no exception! Tyler and Sara's story was full of hard truths and ultimately finding someone you can truly rely and depend on with zero judgement. The dynamic of spice mixed with vulnerability and real-life relatable stuff was simply chef's kiss. Thank you so much to @wordsmithpublicity and @averykeelan for the early copy of this masterpiece!

Shutout is book #2 in the Rules of the Game Series! I loved it! We were introduced to Sera in book #1. She decided to transfer to Boyd & moves in with her brother Chase & his roommates/teammates. But she didn鈥檛 know she would now be living with a guy she hooked up with in a bathroom of a nightclub a few months prior and she also hasn鈥檛 been able to stop thinking about that night.

Seraphina is a strong FMC! She goes through so much and they way she comes out in the end is beautiful!

Tyler is 馃サ END OF STORY and plus he has tattoos and a pierced 馃崋. SOLD. He would do anything for Sera and the way he drop everything to come to her just makes him even better.

Avery has killed it again! I thought I loved offside but man this one was so hard to put down and was everything I needed. I already can鈥檛 wait for the next book and I鈥檓 really hoping it鈥檚 about Reid and Chloe!

Seraphina and Tyler (or should I say Tink and Hades 馃き) had me hooked from the very beginning. I love a hero who doesn't like to talk and isn't fond of people but is entirely different with the heroine, and Tyler delivers on all fronts. Our hero doesn't communicate much outside his circle of friends, but when Seraphina comes into his life, he simply can't stay away. This gives us plenty of moments filled with flirtation, tension, and OMG, how adorable and caring he is with her. And let's not forget 馃敟馃敟馃敟

Seraphina is another incredible character. I wasn't prepared for the emotional depth her story would bring, but I think Avery handled the topic very well. I found their insecurities and dilemmas to be quite realistic. Despite these challenges, they know how to communicate.

I listened to the audiobook, and I couldn't stop smiling most of the time, which earned me some strange looks while listening on the bus, but it was worth it! 馃槄

I also loved the bonus chapters. It was so nice to get a glimpse into the future of these two characters, who have already found a place in my heart.

In summary, I am completely obsessed with this book.

I found this book really cute cause this couple's vibe reminded me of Lore Olympus' Hades and Persephone. Well, also, the fact she calls him Hades cause they hooked up one time at a party and, well, had anon sex and met each other again, and now they are living with each other? Just cause!

They had cute names for each other. Yes, definitely, they are the human version of Hades and Persephone from Lore Olympus, and no one can tell me otherwise!

There were just times I kind of got frustrated cause her "BFF" is just clearly TOXIC AF. Jfc. Dump her ASS, man, but I #relate to her so badly with ADHD, and Tyler was always there for her. It's just the little things that Tyler does for her that get to me, like... ex. he helps her and gives decaf. That's COMMITMENT, BRO! I may be a red flag, dark romance-loving girlie, but it was just a cute, comfy book to read, tbh.

I really need to read their bonus scene during the night they met. I need to know what led to that moment.
