What If…

* Book Review *

What If… by M. J. Hughes

A River Road Series

Debut novel from M. J. Hughes did not disappoint! I found it to be such a cute read with well developed characters. Clara and Liam meet the first day of Freshman Year and become the best of friends! He’s the hottie from the Hockey Team and she’s a Flyer on the Cheer Team! Everyone around them can see that they are crazy about each other… everyone that is, except Clara and Liam!

The ‘What Ifs’ keep them from telling the other just how they feel, but what if, they did…

If you love Friends to Lovers and Hockey Romances, I think you’d enjoy What If…!

Blurb:

In the heart of Barker University, a bond as strong as steel forms between Clara Lowe, a girl with a heart full of kindness and resilience, and Liam Russell, a rising hockey star with a steadfast sense of loyalty–until a betrayal shatters it, leaving Clara broken. When fate intervenes, bringing Liam back into Clara’s life, she stands at a crossroads: can she give their friendship a second chance, or is the damage already done? As they navigate the complexities of their rekindled bond, Clara begins to uncover depths of feelings she never realized were there.

Liam has always put loyalty first, and his connection with Clara was no exception. Recognizing something extraordinary from their very first class together, his feelings deepened into something much more that is most definitely one-sided. A misstep with a past flame fractures the trust that once seemed unbreakable. Now, destiny offers Liam a rare opportunity for redemption. With everything on the line, Liam knows one thing for certain: he’s regained his world in Clara, and he’ll fight with all he has to never lose her again.
