Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Jun 09, Lisa: I am a sucker for the friends-to-lovers-trope and I admit to liking the secret child trope but this book plainly sucked. It just jumped from one major event to the next. Her hang-ups about starting a real relationship with Dean were never explained. Is she freaking serious? Keeping your baby in the dark about your pregnancy? What was Dean supposed to do? Ask every month if you had your period yet? At least admit that you were too freaking scared to tell for whatever stupid reason instead pushing the blame on others!
I wanted to smack this girl so badly and I am not actually violent person. View all 6 comments. Meh, it was okay, maybe less than okay because it was too short and everything was predictable. I hated both characters because they were so immature and annoying so i just skipped through the pages wanting to finish it as soon as possible and get it over with. View all 4 comments.
My New: Friend Paperback
Cover Reveal on Monday, November 13th! Her books are always full of soul and this one is the perfect example. Kat and Dean make an awesome couple! The hotshot hockey player and this amazing, strong-headed girl. Surprised, sexy times, hard laughing moments — Jillian Quinn delivers the perfect book to break out from the real world.
I loved this book for many and one reason ; Beautiful intense funny emotional forbidden. Can't wait for the next one. I wanted to explain my rating. This wasn't the worst book ever, but I felt like everything was skimmed over - nothing developed. I wasn't invested in any of the characters. I didn't believe any of the relationships. The storyline wasn't anything new, but could've been really interesting if things had been fleshed out and not just dropped onto the page. I know I sound harsh, I just wanted more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
If you like sweet, sexy, swoon worthy hockey players, then Dean Crawford is the man for you.

All throughout their college years the two are inseparable. The time they spend together not only brings them closer as friends, but intensifies feelings that neither one wants to act on out of fear of ruining what they have. The temptation to cross that line ends up being too much for them and they finally give in.
They are able to keep their friendship on an even keel until just before graduation when Kat begins to pull away from Dean. He is confused and hurt, but decides to give her some space. Unbeknownst to him she is keeping a secret. There had never been secrets between them before and he feels betrayed. Or will her secret destroy not only their chance at love, but the friendship that they both held so dear?
Dirty Dean Crawford has a reputation around campus. He's a star on the ice and a player off the ice, but from the first time he met Kat, he knew that she wasn't just another puck bunny.
Their connection was apparent right from the get-go, but Dean was determined to keep Kat in the friends zone. He liked spending time with her so much, that he didn't want to risk losing her by taking her to bed. It wasn't that there wasn't attraction between them.
There was tons of sexual tension brewing between t Dirty Dean Crawford has a reputation around campus. There was tons of sexual tension brewing between the best friends. It was just that their friendship meant so much more to them than a quick fling. Through their college years, Kat and Dean straddled the line between friends and more than friends, always managing to keep their friendship in tact despite occasionally crossing the line. That is until a night a few weeks before graduation changed everything. Kat became closed off.
They went their separate ways upon graduating. They stayed in touch via text and phone calls, but it was never the same as before. This is because Kat was hiding a huge secret from Dean and kept chickening out when it came time to come clean. Everyone knows though, the longer you wait to tell the truth, the bigger the risk of someone else spilling the beans.
When Dean discovers Kat's betrayal, can he ever forgive her? Will they get a chance to save their friendship or are they finally ready to admit that they've always been more than just friends? Great start to a new series! I loved the tight knit Baldwin family, each of them with their own distinct personalities and issues.
I can't wait to read about the Baldwin brothers! Kat and Dean's friends to lovers romance was sweet and emotional. At times it was frustrating that they wouldn't admit what was right in front of their eyes, but the wait was well worth while. Their friendship was heartfelt and realistic and when they tiptoed across into the world of lovers, they were absolutely smoking hot together.
This author never fails to come through with a great, steamy sports romance filled with heart and humour. I absolutely loved the ending and the epilogue! I Love Dean and Kat! They are so close and they are so in love with each other. I love the friends to lovers trope and this one was so great! Kat and Dean became friends because of hockey. Dean is a Hockey player wit 4. Dean is a Hockey player with plans to go to the NHL. Kat is a hockey player but also the daughter of the hockey legend Nick Baldwin and the sister to two other hockey players in the NHL right now basically she is hockey royalty.
Hockey brought them together and the have been best friends since they met. They are both attracted to each other and the both think about taking it to the next level. A hot make out session one year and hot sex the next they are still fighting becoming more. Their friendship is so special that they are both scared if they become more they could ruin it all.
Becoming more could change everything. It could ruin his friendship with her younger brothers, It could ruin their friendship, and it would make Kat just Dean's girlfriend before she has even a chance to be her own person, plus they are moving to two desperate states in a few weeks after graduation. The chemistry between them is off the charts and the love is deep. They just have to find away around all these obstacles to be with each other. I thought this book was great! Dean and Kat have insane chemistry and you can tell that they love each other deeply.
I wish they would have got together sooner. This also has a surprise twist that I freaking loved. This book was so good! A really amazing friends to lovers read! That Cover model is so Yummy!! Friends to lovers is one of my most favorite type of stories. There's just something so sweet and intimate about best friends falling for each other. I can't get enough and Jillian Quinn sure did bring on the cuteness in More than Friends.
I love all of Jillian's male characters but Dean might have given them all a run for their money. He's sexy as sin, he's sweet as can be and he has a mischief side that is adorable. Plus he's a hockey player. I loved him and I thought he made the perfect best friend to Kat. Kat had a tom boy attitude but she couldn't hide her natural beauty if she tried.
I loved Kat, she was a no nonsense type of chick but I loved the fact that the only person who could get under her skin was her best friend.
More than Friends
Kat was also a hockey player and her dad was a hockey legend, I really liked that aspect. It's fun watching a woman be in a mans world, if anyone could hand it though, it's defiantly Kat! Jillian brought back some of my favorite characters and if you don't know by now, that's one of my favorite things about her writing. If you love a good ole' friends to lovers romance, if you love hockey, if you love secrets, and if you love a big family dynamic in stories then you need to one-click More than Friends right now because this book is for you!
It's one you don't want to miss and it's the first book in a new series of Jillian's. I can't wait for more. Dean and Kitten Meeting a fan is always fun especially when they are fans of your dad Who'd have thought they'd become your best friend. When Kat met Dean they had an instant connection but these two remained platonic for months. Then slowly a kiss her and touch there and it grew. He fell for her before she realized she fell too.
She wanted him to take her v-card and he had to compartmentalize his feelings because he was friends with her twin brothers. These two held off on their feelings unt Dean and Kitten Meeting a fan is always fun especially when they are fans of your dad These two held off on their feelings until they had Noah. Then it was game on.
I enjoyed reading this quick book. Perfect amount of romance, growing, mistakes, sex and love. I think Dean is swoon worthy. A great guy and great dad. I love how close knit Kat's family is. Being the middle child, and only girl with 2 older and 2 younger brothers its crazy. One thing I shake my head about is how stubborn these two can get about not laying their cards on the line. But thankfully it all worked out and they didnt stay seperated for long.
I wonder do they have more kids? Will there be more twins? Hopefully when the Baldwin brother series comes out there will be an update on the Caldwell clan is doing. Austin- hes a mystery I need to know more. I feel he'll be a lot like Dean. The twins- do they still play their games, do they go pro?
See a Problem?
Nikk- he's going to have so many grandkids if each of his children have at least 3. I cannot wait to see how this family grows. And wouldnt it be funny if one of the grandkids went pro for a different sport Especially one of Dean and Kats? The moment Kat and Dean met they became fast friends, having hockey in common it brought them together and bonded them, gave them something to hold onto. But then one night things took an interesting, an unexpected, turn when Kat asked Dean to be her first, at first he wanted to tell her no, because he was afraid it would ruin all that they built between one another They tried really hard to not let it change thing The moment Kat and Dean met they became fast friends, having hockey in common it brought them together and bonded them, gave them something to hold onto.
They tried really hard to not let it change things, but it did, it brought them closer, more dependent on one another, and brought about feelings that neither of them expected Now they are facing their graduation and going their separate ways, and the thought of not sharing everyday with one another like they have for the last four is heartbreaking for both of them. Will they find a way to keep this love alive or will they let it slip through their fingertips? More Than Friends is a solid romance read, loaded with heart, emotion, and some toe curling romance that is sure to leave your cheeks permanently pink I loved every minute of it!
With each new read I devour from this author, the more impressed I become, she always produces such well rounded sports reads that give me just what I'm looking for and a whole lot more. This story was exceptional it had a touch of innocence that spoke to me, one that gave the story line a very plausible and touching feel, it hit me straight in the heart and moved me!
I highly recommend you meet these two their special story is sure to give you the feels and leave you moved I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title. The book has a nice mix of drama and sweetness that is sure to make this an enjoyable, quick, and easy to read book for most NA romance fans. Told from dual perspective, Kat and Dean have a strong friendship and chemistry that we get to see develop as these two hockey players grow closer during their college years. Kat and Dean are two strong and feisty characters, Kat more so, making them a perfect match and very likeable.
What I liked with the relationship between these two is that as the book evolves and secrets are revealed, the friendship we see being established really carries through later on, especially when at times the characters frustrate you a little with how they act in certain scenes. I also liked how Dean being a hockey player mostly has a heart of gold rather than just stereotypical sports star traits. There are also some unique and fun secondary characters who added some extra drama and humour to the book. If you enjoy standalone sports romances, definitely give this a read - I liked it!
I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own. She does a great job at linking her previous books to her recent book. You can guarantee that you will see a few characters from her other books pop up in the one you are reading and I love that. I always look out for when they show up.
