Synopsis (Goodreads):
Hotshot hockey star Patrick Graham has been groomed for the pros since before he could walk. Fast forward to his junior year of college, and he’s having the time of his life. What could be better than pucks, partying, and having his pick of campus women? But if Patrick doesn’t buckle down and get his grades up, he could find himself benched for the championships. Could a beautiful brainiac be the solution to his problems?

Nineteen-year-old Master’s student Ellie McGinn could do so many things with her biology degree, but her mother is pushing her toward a future she doesn't want. Tutoring a hockey hottie seems like the perfect opportunity to start making her own choices and living life on her own terms.

When learning turns to yearning, will they be ready to face the heat and heartache that love can bring?
Thoughts on Overtime: No lie, Patrick was not my favorite character in Pax's book. I mean, I get that the twins had stuff to work through and Patrick wasn't at his best because it was Pax's story, but maaaaannnn. Let's just say the guy had to prove himself to me before I would get rid of my sour lemon face.

The good news? I did end up liking Patrick. He might have been foot loose and fancy free during Pax's story, but he cleaned up nicely. Having a genius tutor helped get him on the right track. Well, that and the possibility of being benched if his grades got to bad. Regardless, he buckled down and did what he needed to do and I can respect that.

As for Ellie, that lady's on fire. She's smart and sweet and, yeah, maybe she hasn't had the most typical college experience, but Patrick helps her unwind in that regard. Her biggest hurdle? Figuring out what she wants to do with her life. She really is smart enough to do anything, but her parents are pushing her in a direction she doesn't want to go and that makes things tough.

Adulting choices, steamy kisses, hockey family, and two people who work well together. *thumbs up*
