Title: Checked Into Love
Series: Bachelorette Party Book 2
Author: Rochelle Paige
Genre: New Adult Romance
Cecily Thompson swore off men a year ago.
There’s only been one man who’s tempted her to end the drought… hockey hottie Jason Campbell. He had her rethinking her stance on dating, but a misunderstanding quickly sent her running in the opposite direction.
Jason hasn’t been able to get Cecily off his mind.
Not a single night has gone by without dreams of the fiery redhead he met in a bar months ago. When he finally sees her again at a friend’s bachelorette party, he’s ready to do what it takes to keep her right where she belongs… by his side.
Checked Into Love can be read as a standalone. Each book in the Bachelorette Party series features a different couple. And if you've read the Blythe College series, you'll see some familiar faces from there, too!
Who in the hell did he think he was? He might have been the hottest guy I’d ever seen in my life—one who’d messed with my head enough to make my self-imposed break from men last ridiculously long, even though my career was flourishing—but that didn’t mean he had the right to tell me what to do.
“Why the fuck wouldn’t I? I’m not your girlfriend. I’m just some woman you talked to for a few hours nine months ago. I’m surprised you even remember my name.”
“I remember a fuck of a lot more than your name, Cecily,” he rumbled.
“Cee-Cee,” I snapped. “Nobody but my family calls me Cecily.”
“If you didn’t want me to think of you that way, you shouldn’t have introduced yourself to me as Cecily.”
He made an excellent point, one I’d wondered about myself quite a few times. I never gave my full name when I met new people, not even in a professional setting. Yet, that’s exactly what I’d done with him. I’d been surprised when my name had slipped out of my mouth back then, and I still wasn’t sure why I’d done it, except that it had felt right at the moment.
Maybe it was because I’d wanted him to see me as a Cecily, a woman who was more mysterious and sophisticated than fun-loving Cee-Cee. Or it could have just been because Cecily sounded sexier than Cee-Cee. Either way, it apparently hadn’t mattered because he’d easily forgotten about my existence in the few minutes I was in the bathroom.
“Fine,” I huffed. “You can call me whatever you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m nobody important to you.”
“Only because you pulled a disappearing act on me!”
His deep blue eyes flared, in what looked like barely suppressed rage mixed with a hint of hurt. But that didn’t make any sense considering what I’d seen with my own two eyes that night. “I didn’t think you’d care. You seemed happy enough with that brunette at the bar when I came out of the bathroom.”
“The brunette at the bar,” he echoed softly, the anger in his expression oddly replaced by a flash of humor as he chuckled wryly. “All that time, wasted over a simple misunderstanding. It fucking figures.”

MY REVIEW:
Jason and CeCe's relationship
started off a bit troubled due to a misunderstanding yet things rebounded when they
met again and Jason wasn’t about to let CeCe leave on him again.
Jason is wealthy, hockey
players who is all sexy alpha male and also throw in possessive cave man. Don’t get me wrong, he has a very sweet heart but
he is all alpha when it comes to CeCe. He sees her as something to protect and
he goes all total overprotective when it comes to her. Lets take CeCe then, she
is the sassy, hardworking, independent type. Opposites definitely attract
here.
As I was saying, these two
had a misunderstanding when they first met so
they get their second chance 9months later . Jason doesn't waste a second
letting CeCe get away because he knows she is it for him and what he wants, he
takes. He knows she is it, she is the woman he sees forever with. The best part
is getting CeCe on board. This book has
the push/ pull when it comes to romance, a heroine with a big heart, a sexy
alpha hero, some humorous moments, definite steamy encounters between
the MC, and a HEA. Each book in the Bachelorette series is a standalone, do know there are crossover characters
from books but these are standalones. I would most definitely recommend reading
Rochelle’s Blythe College series if you would like to know more
about the secondary characters and I HIGHLY recommend this book. Would have liked a big longer epilogue , for
it would have given more but I have a feeling we will see these characters
again. These are a must read for any RP
fan.
My rating: 4.5 stars ****
