Fake Shot (Leighton U Book 5)

We’ve finally reached the end, Fake Shot is officially out, and I honestly don’t even know how to put into words what I’m feeling. This was one of the very first series I ever started, and now that it’s over… it feels like I’m saying goodbye to something that’s been a part of me for a long time. Like so many others, I’ve been waiting for Camden and Logan’s story, and it exceeded every expectation I had. I won’t spoil anything because you truly deserve to experience it firsthand, but this story hit me on such a deep, emotional level. The representation, the vulnerability, the way everything was handled, listen, it was just so beautifully done. I’ll be honest, I had my doubts at first about how these two would come together (I know, I know trust the process), but I was proven wrong. Their chemistry is electric, their banter is effortless, and every moment between them feels real. There are so many scenes that made my heart ache in the best way, and others that had me smiling so hard my face hurt. And then there were the moments that completely shattered me, I’m talking full on tears. And yes… the spice? Absolutely top tier. It’s hot, it’s intense, and it fits perfectly with their dynamic. Every steamy moment feels purposeful and deeply connected to their emotional journey, which just makes it hit even harder. Watching their journey unfold from beginning to end felt so personal, like I was right there with them through every high and every heartbreak. It’s the kind of story…

We met both MCs in ‘Iced Out,’ Book 1 of the Leighton U series. Logan is Quinton’s little brother and Camden is the clownish dunce housemate of Oakley, Quinton’s significant other from book 1. When Camden is faced with losing his eligibility for the NHL draft, Quinton suggests that his brother might tutor him. Logan is now rooming in the same house that Oakley and Theo shared with Holden from the other books. We also see Lexi, Keene’s sister from book 2 who had a crush on Aspen. She’s Logan’s love interest until he tells her he’s now dating Camden because he doesn’t want her to know that he has a huge crush 😍 on her. What ensues is that the more Logan is around Camden, the more he discovers that Cam is not a shallow, dumb, hockey 🏒🥅 goalie. I don’t know if this is the final book in this series, but it almost has that feel…except Bailey is still in Norway when this book ends so it does make me wonder. My favourite books in this series are: Iced Out, and Fair Catch. Just a note: In Aspen and Keene’s book there’s a vignette of a surfer who watches them on the beach. That lone surfer is from the book, ‘Head Above Water’ and is one of the best books I’ve read from this author!
