The Mistake is a whirlwind of a college romance that brings together a sexy hockey player and a shy and socially awkward heroine who heat it up.....

The Mistake was a book that for some reason I kept forgetting about. I think the blurb kinda just put me off for a while, but I just been in the mood for this story and after doing some re-reading this past week of The Deal and the Score, I was in the mood for Logan and Grace's book especially in seeing them in later books. I knew I needed to see some fun groveling from this hero who has it way too easy when it comes to girls and in The Mistake, we see how hard he is forced to work for the girl he really wants.....

The key players that provoke feeling in The Mistake are:

• John Logan, junior star hockey player, has a nice college life, but different family life that offers a depth you don't expect


• Grace Iver, college freshman, a bit socially awkward, tends to babble when she is nervous and a virgin.

 

I really honestly wasn't sure at first what I would think of The Mistake but (no surprise) that I fell for Logan and Grace's story. I really do love virgin romances, I adore seeing a heroine that doesn't view sex casually, which too many heroines in new adult romance do, so seeing Grace's personality really pulled me in because I can relate with her in so many ways. I love how she babbles, its so hilarious and endearing. She is very intelligent and even though she is a pretty happy person, she doesn't feel comfortable at parties. She prefers to dress comfortably over skimpy to attract a man. We see Grace deal with some emotional challenges such as the way her best friend treats her which I didn't like. Grace is a people pleaser, she avoids confrontation if she can but we see her growth in this book. Then she meets up with Logan, who mistakenly comes to her door, they watch a movie and make out a bit. Logan is intrigued by Grace because she is unlike any girl he has ever been with. And even though he is dealing with the fact that he can't go pro due to certain family responsibilities, he hurts Grace and now he will have to prove to Grace how genuine he is about his feelings for her. And boy seeing the creative ways he goes about getting back in her good "graces" was simply hilarious. He does get pretty creative.

The idea of Grace with another guy is unacceptable. I won't go as far as to say she's mine, but...well, she's mine. Mine to hold and mine to kiss and mine to laugh with. Yup, mine

Grace changes through this course of their relationship, I like seeing her more confident and sure of herself, standing on her own and not letting anyone run over her, including her best friend. And Grace is so supportive of Logan's family situation and I really admired that. We see some interesting dynamics that Logan deals with. And I found it interesting seeing this "bad boy" have more to him than meets the eye. And this is what Elle Kennedy really excels at writing, making you fall for these playboy heroes that you just fall head over heels in love with easily.....

Belonging. It's the only way to describe the exquisite rush of sensation that washes over me. His lips BELONG on mine.

The Mistake is a sensational story that I couldn't help but admire the writing talent that proves to be a vibrant and emotionally evoking story.....a new adult romance that is a keeper!!
