#BookReview: Night Shift by Annie Crown

Synopsis: The bookworm and the basketball player are about to meet their match.

Kendall Holiday spends her Friday nights exactly where she wants to be: with her head buried in a spicy romance novel while she works the graveyard shift at her university's library. She knows she could join her friends for a weekend of drunken debauchery and college parties, but she likes her alone time, so she tells herself she isn't hiding when she gets lost in the pages of fictional love stories.

But that all changes when Vincent Knight, captain of the basketball team, turns up with an injured wrist, a sour mood, and a pressing need for poetry recommendations for a class he hates. Vincent is tall, smart-mouthed, and challenges Kendall like no one has before. Suddenly, she's falling headfirst into her very own romance novel—but it takes a lot more truth than tropes to get to a happy ever after in real life.

NIGHT SHIFT is a 75k-word sweet and spicy single-POV college romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Hannah Grace, and Elena Armas.

Opposites attract in this sizzling campus romance.

Pre-med student and captain of Thatcher College’s hockey team, Luke Prescott, is known as the Ice Man on campus and that’s just how he wants it. With the NHL draft and graduation on the horizon, distractions are the last thing Luke can afford. His best friends are discipline and focus, with no time for interruptions.

Too bad for Luke, he’s just been assigned a social media project with Jax Silva, a junior who's anything but predictable, changing majors as often as her clothes. Granted, she looks tempting in everything she wears and has infiltrated his every thought, but Luke won't let his world be turned upside down again.

Despite the chance of frostbite, Jax is determined to thaw the Ice Man and secure a coveted internship position too. If only the hockey grump would just cooperate and let her past the front door. So, what if she’s proposing a sexy team calendar — what’s the big deal? And if she shivers at his touch, it's because he's as cold as ice, not because he makes her hot. No, despite the campus rumors, their teaming up is purely due to their assignment, and nothing more. Right?

This match might need to go into overtime. Game on!

Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancée. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she's been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.

The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.

Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.
