ARC Review: Game Misconduct by Allie Lasky

Publication Date: March 20, 2026

I loved the latest book from Allie Lasky, Game Misconduct! I feel like both Bex and Nick have been around for a long time in the Boston Grizzlies universe, and the tension and heat coming off their dynamic has been electric. Once the two of them finally connected, it was easy to see there was so much more than just physical attraction.

Bex and Nick’s story has been a long time coming. I loved how Game Misconduct took us through the journey of their first meeting and night together, then to the development of their disdain for one another before shifting into the realization that there was something more. The tension between these two was always sizzling, so it was the development of the romance itself that truly showed their growth. 

Allie has another hockey romance book in this series coming out in the summer! It’s called Instigator, and it follows even more characters that we know and love from Game Misconduct and earlier in the series. I love knowing I’ll get to see more of Bex and Nick moving forward as well as more amazing hockey romance love stories! 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
