I’m no Romeo, but Shea Carmichael is so off-limits, her name might as well be Juliet.
Shea's my best friend’s sister... and the only girl I’ve ever wanted. She’s always had a boyfriend, though, so I’ve been able to keep my distance. Now she's single. As her friend, she asks me to help her navigate our campus dating scene. Of course, I agree. I promised her brother I’d keep her safe—and keep my hands to myself. The only problem? The more time I spend with her, the harder it is to deny how I feel.
Except I’m holding my life together by a thread. I need to rehabilitate my hockey career after spending a year recovering from concussions, and my family is in financial ruin. I shouldn’t be anywhere near Shea with my mess, but what’s between us is real and the attraction is too hard to resist.
When everything starts to unravel, though, can we find a way to keep our forbidden romance from ending in tragedy?

"I'll take care of her." It's true but God help me. I have no idea how I'll come out on the other end".
The Blueliner by Josie Blake is the second book in her Chesterboro University series. The books can all be read as standalones, but the characters are connected by the university's ice hockey team. This is Linc and Shea's story.
We first met Linc in The Captain and we catch up with him here, recovering from a series of concussions and struggling to get back on the ice. Shea is his bestfriend Colt's little sister, and Linc has been in love with her FOREVER. Shea has recently split up with her cheater of a boyfriend, and Colt has asked Linc to look out for her at Chesterboro where they both go to school.
And everybody knows that your bestfriend's sister is strictly off limits right? Right?! 😈
I totally love this series by Josie Blake. I read a lot of dark romance and it makes a nice change to read a series where the characters are upbeat and wholesome - where the guys are the type of sons you'd like to raise, and that you'd be happy for your daughters to marry. So cute, but also steamy enough to satisy 🔥.
If your favourite tropes include these, you are gonna LOVE this one:
❤ bestfriend's sister
❤ friends to lovers
❤ sports romance
❤ protective boyfriends
Recommended.

4-stars for The Blueliner
This is a great brothers best friend, college sports romance. Linc had a teenage crush on his best friends sister but didn't act on it, bro code and all. He felt a bit more settled when she had a long-term boyfriend. But what happens when Shea broke up with her boyfriend of four years especially when Linc's best friend is worried about his sister and asks Linc to keep an eye on her at college. With her boyfriend not in the picture, Linc has a hard time watching out for her for his best friend while still trying to keeping enough distance from Shea to keep himself and his feelings for her in check. Josie Blake does an amazing job showing Linc and Shea's connection and chemistry throughout the book. My only negative is I don't like how the author leaves the reader hanging at the end of the book, too much is left unanswered with Linc and Shea and their future. Personally, I prefer a HEA instead of a HFN, too many question are left at the end which happened in both book 1 and 2 of the series. But I still enjoyed reading both books and would totally recommend reading The Blueliner (and The Captain)! I can't wait for book 3, The Playmaker. Just a side note, recommend for 18+ as Josie Blake does know how to write those steamy scenes.
Even though I did receive an advanced review copy of this book, I also purchased the book/read with Kindle Unlimited and am voluntarily leaving my own unsolicited opinion with my voluntary review.

Aside from the fact that they lived on campus, and talked about being in college, this almost read like a pro-hockey romance. Which I liked! They had bigger fish to fry than college drama. Shea and Linc were both focused on what came after college, something a lot of college romances lack! Linc is also focused on the fact that Shea is not only off limits, but he’s not good enough for her either. As soon as her brother said “she’s practically a sister to him”, and Linc said “there would never be anything between Shea and me”, and the brother replied “you’d never get with my sister” I was BEYOND thrilled for what was to come! Shea had a cute teenage crush on Linc, until she heard almost that exact conversation play out between them when they were younger. They tend to live separate lives, until this year when Shea asks him to help her find someone for…beneficial reasons. And now there’s no more avoiding each other. Plus, the pull between them has become to strong to keep them apart. Her parents are smothering her, and not in a helpful way. Between her parents and her brother, she’s not really living her own life. Until she takes it by the horns and starts making choices for her! Something I really enjoyed about Shea! What I didn’t like? The way she walked away from Linc when he opened up to her, and gave her all his demons. He finally allows himself to be vulnerable, and the one thing he fears the most happened. Everything became so complicated. And then it was very easily fixed. Too easily fixed. He didn’t even grovel. Well, I take that back. Linc did in fact grovel, to her brother.
My Favorite Quotes:
• “I can’t help looking at you.”
• “I don’t want anyone’s hands on you but mine.”
• “You are all I want in this whole world.”
• “I want you to see us.”

an ok follow up to book 1
Don’t get me wrong, I really did like this book. Shea & Linc had a great story, it’s just that it really bothers me how authors forget who was in the first book.
There’s barely any mention of Hannah & Cord. The trouble I have with series is that most authors don’t mention or barely mention characters from previous books. I’m not sure why that is, but it really bothers me that both these characters were mentioned throughout the first one but the Hannah & Cord are briefly mentioned in one part. Shea & Hannah were friends; Linc and Cord were friends, but now they’re nothing to each other? Not a great way to keep your reader invested in your books. I like keeping up with all characters in a really good series, as it should be but I can see that’s not how this author writes.
It’s the lack of wanting to keep all the characters alive that quickly shows me that this author isn’t for me. Sorry, but I tried. I’m sad that I’ll never know how the rest of the team ends up but I can’t get past the almost complete disregard of past characters.
As much as I loved the first book and that the second had so much potential, I wouldn’t recommend this “series” to anyone. Or, I should say, to anyone who loves a series that enhances and includes all characters in some way.

This story was really hot, exciting and un-put-down-able!
I love my Josie Blake books!! And The Blueliner is no exception, in fact it awakened a lot of memories for me and resonated really close to home! This is her second book in the new series and the protagonists (Linc and Shea) were previously introduced in The Captain, the first book in the series. Linc is an amazing character, and his situation is truly thought provoking. It never dawned on me how tenuous an athletic college scholarship could actually be for the athlete. Unlike an employee who is injured on the job, if an athlete is injured playing for their college, they are in jeopardy of losing their scholarship and it usually means an end to their plans for advancing their education because they only keep the scholarship for as long as they are playing! At least an injured employee can obtain some benefits for being hurt on the job, but not the college athlete! And, the real rub when you think about it is the fact that colleges make a bundle off their athletic teams. So, an injury without some compensation to the athlete seems extraordinarily unfair when one realizes the school pocketed some big bucks when the athlete was playing. The Blueliner brought me way back to my college and law school days trying to make ends meet and living in constant fear of my world collapsing around me for want of another $200 or $300 to complete that final tuition payment or buy food or make rent. But it was much more than just these memories, Linc has great heart and motivation to play at his very best so he can lift himself and his family from difficult circumstances to better himself and their lives.
Enter Shea, sister of Linc’s very best friend in the world who happens to live the polar opposite (disgustingly rich) of his lifestyle, which cannot have been easy for Linc, sitting at the table of their home eating dinner night after night, always looking but never touching! Shea is the icing on the cake, she is incomparable to all other women in every way, a dream only, one that becomes a nightmare because of Linc’s intense and overwhelming feelings for her that can never be acted upon…until they are! OK, no more hints about the plot which took me by surprise in more than a few places. This story was really hot, exciting and un-put-down-able! Buy it and read it and keep it on your shelf when you want to be infused with every emotion and feeling known to mankind. It was that good a read!

Linc is best friends with her brother, Colt. Colt and, Linc played hockey together forever. Shea is, Colt’s little sister. She’s the girl that, Linc lost his heart, to the minute he, sees her. The same is true, for Shea. Even though, Linc comes from the working class, and, Colt from the elite, there has never been any shade. They have never put any on him, or his family, from either of, his parents.
If anything, they have always opened their home, and arms, to him as a second son. Not to mention his family, as an extended family. When Mrs. Carmichael has a party, she never excludes him from introductions. After our hug of course, to doctors, bankers, and even senators. He is proud of, the way his mother, and Mrs. C raised him. Because face it, he was at the Carmichael’s house, as much as, he was at home.
After, four years of going, to school together Linc and, Shea are finally going, to graduate. Even though Shea and, Colt are twins, Colt was signed as a pro hockey player, already. Colt asks Linc to keep an eye on, Shea since her A-hole ex-boyfriend, Justin got engaged. When they just broke up, four months ago, and now he is engaged. Now, he shows up at Shea’s parent's home, for the end of, the summer joint party, her mom and his, has thrown for years. PRICK!
Throughout the story, Justin sees Shea, and, Linc together, and becomes more clingy, and, needy toward wanting, to talk to her, and meet up with her. Shea is, oh he//, to the no. You see she finds out that for most of, their relationship he cheated. It's when she caught him red-handed so, to speak she tapped out. After a gala where Colt tricked, Linc and, Shea, to be each other's date that they became an us, instead of me.
Linc has a lot on his plate but refuses to, share the load with, Shea or, Colt. Shea feels like they are getting closer, but the wall is still there. She does find out, he is having anxiety attacks getting on the ice, his mom is bad off with her MS, and the family’s financials aren’t good. All of this is causing a lack of, sleep and lack of, appetite. He looks like, the walking dead. Something will have, to give. Especially, since he said he wants, to keep them a secret, for a bit. Just until they can tell, Colt in person.
The ending came too fast. No resolve to the ending. For her yes. For him, it's on hold. Don't know if he makes it or not. To the pros, that is. Linc just is in a holding pattern.

Throughout the story, Justin sees Shea, and, Linc together, and becomes more clingy, and, needy toward wanting, to talk to her, and meet up with her. Shea is, oh he//, to the no. You see she finds out that for most of, their relationship he cheated. It's when she caught him red-handed so, to speak she tapped out. After a gala where Colt tricked, Linc and, Shea, to be each other's date that they became an us, instead of me.
Linc has a lot on his plate but refuses to, share the load with, Shea or, Colt. Shea feels like they are getting closer, but the wall is still there. She does find out, he is having anxiety attacks getting on the ice, his mom is bad off with her MS, and the family’s financials aren’t good. All of this is causing a lack of, sleep and lack of, appetite. He looks like, the walking dead. Something will have, to give. Especially, since he said he wants, to keep them a secret, for a bit. Just until they can tell, Colt in person.
The ending came too fast. No resolve to the ending. For her yes. For him, it's on hold. Don't know if he makes it or not. To the pros, that is. Linc just is in a holding pattern.
