The Girlfriend Zone by Lauren Blakely
Blurb:
In my defense, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day—and one unforgettable night—with was a hockey star on my father’s team. And Miles didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter.
That’s the point of a “no-work-talk” date.
But now? He’s as forbidden to me as I am to him.
When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. We mostly succeed…except for that time after a game when he couldn’t keep his talented hands off me. But I swear, it won’t happen again.
Too much is at stake—I can’t risk my heart or my father’s team.
But when I’m asked to dog-sit Miles’s pack of rescue pups for a few weeks, I discover there’s more to him than I ever imagined—a man who’s genuine, thoughtful, and irresistibly real.
He looks at me like he can’t believe his luck. Touches me like he never wants to let go. And listens to my hopes and fears.
My heart’s getting dangerously attached. But if I follow it… am I putting everyone’s dreams on the line?
Tropes: coach’s daughter, the one who got away, starts with a bang, second chance vibes, age gap, forbidden hockey romance, forced proximity, workplace romance.

The Girlfriend Zone by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Girlfriend Zone is the fourth book in the Love and Hockey series. This is Miles Falcon and Leighton McBride’s story. Leighton’s father is Noah McBride he is the coach for the Sea Dogs. Miles is one of the players for the Sea Dogs.
You know fathers especially coaches for sports leagues tend to not want their daughters to fall for a player and in this case a hockey player. So, Miles and Leighton really really tried for the friend zone. Of course, that was a “fail” because they do end up together.
I love romances, obviously because that is what this book was! I love the spice between these two! They were perfect for each other!
I can’t wait to see what Lauren Blakely writes next!
