Moo U #6
Overtime
Hotshot hockey star Patrick Graham has been groomed for the pros since before he could walk. Fast forward to his junior year of college, and he’s having the time of his life. What could be better than pucks, partying, and having his pick of campus women? But if Patrick doesn’t buckle down and get his grades up, he could find himself benched for the championships. Could a beautiful brainiac be the solution to his problems?
Nineteen-year-old Master’s student Ellie McGinn could do so many things with her biology degree, but her mother is pushing her toward a future she doesn't want. Tutoring a hockey hottie seems like the perfect opportunity to start making her own choices and living life on her own terms.
When learning turns to yearning, will they be ready to face the heat and heartache that love can bring?

Book #5 in the Moo U series.
Ellie + Patrick
We already heard Patrick's twin Paxton's story in the last book.
And now it's his turn.
He's the hockey team captain. But his grades need to get better asap - or else!
Enter Ellie. A nerdy friend of his brother.
Ellie is only 19, but has been at Moo U since she was 15. She's a genius.
And it's insta attraction between those two - even though she's so not his typical puck bunny type.
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN! ☺
══════════════════
Adorable!
Definitely better than the first book.
Even though it was again so super insta!
I'm all for insta, but you just know that there will be fights, arguments, misunderstandings, break-ups et cetera until we'll get that happy end. Ugh!
Why can't we get all the drama out of the way before we get serious.
But anyway. It was cute and funny and sparky and sexy and nerdy and emotional and collegy and hockey-y. I liked it!
The most drama comes from not having a clear plan for their future - both of them.
Ellie's mom wants her to be a doctor. But Ellie does not want that.
Patrick's dad wants him to go Pro asap - but he wants to get his degree first.
It'll be a while until that happy end - but the reader enjoys the journey! ☺
I really liked it in the end.
I could read these kinds of books every day for the rest of eternity!
I also wouldn't mind seeing this whole world on Netflix one day!
Can't wait to get more Vermont soon!
OVERTIME was an adorable + sexy hockey-y + college-y romance! I loved reading it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Patrick - he'll be sold out in no time!

ARC received for an honest review
Overtime is definitely better than the twin's book Gametime, however it was still a meh book for me.
Things are better between the twins, but now the star Patrick is the one in trouble with his grades, and when his eyes meet the sexy girl across the room, he has no way to know his life is going to change for the better.
I love that Ellie is not the shy, stuck in her dorm room type of genius girl - she gets out there, and isn't always all "why are you with me?" - though with Patrick's reputation it would have been expected. Inexperienced? Sure but not completely clueless.
I love their insta-connection and they are just adorably cute. I love seeing a man-whore come to his knees when he finds the right woman, and that is the deal with Patrick.
I still had some issues coming over from the first book, Gametime, and they still frustrated and made me want to DNF this book, but I kept going and am glad I finished this one.
I still hate hate hate Patrick's dad with the passion of a million fiery suns, but I am glad the twins dealt with that.
And what is with allll the parents being a-holes to their kids and pushing their agenda on them? Ellie's mum was the same and I wanted to throw her in with Patrick's dad - though she did eventually get better. Eventually.
So while it was better, it still was not one of my favourites in the Moo U series.

Loved it!!
Patrick Graham is an amazing hockey player, he has to choose if he wants to go pro at the end of the year, as his father wants, or to stay, finish college and take his business degree. Ellie McGinn at nineteen years old has already spent few years at the college, studying and getting three degrees, but now she wants to live a bit more, to know the world outside her books, making her own choices and maybe some mistakes too, without her mother overbearing presence.
They meet at a party, they feel a weird connection as soon as their eyes meet, but will they have time to start a relationship? Or do they have already too much on their plates they couldn’t afford it?
I liked Patrick and Ellie, their connection and deep chemistry is instantly clear but they are so different and they have so much pressure on them that is really hard to just enjoy themselves.
They are a very sweet couple and I cheered and supported them from beginning to end.
I was so surprised to see a significant shift in Patrick’s behavior, he liked the parties and the girls but fortunately he also understood that is the right moment to change your path when something so much better than that arrives in your life.
Overtime is a standalone book but I suggest you to also get Paxton’s story in Gametime.

I have almost nothing but pure giddy love for this story. The only reason it is almost is not even because of this story LOL but because I still don’t really like Patrick’s twin and I think I might have a mild case of trauma lingering … but everything about Ellie and Patrick made me all kinds of happy. Although I’m not so sure about an insta plot point when it comes to this age group, Kat made me less skeptic with her wizardry.
Without giving away the plot, I’m going to try and tell you a few of my favorite things about all this happiness! For one, Ellie was the best of the best! The choices Kat made for a chic of her age were wondrously wonderful!!! Honestly, I love Ellie and want to be her friend. Two, even tho this is really and insta attraction, there’s a friendship that is built with every page you read and it is just *happy sigh* Three, who doesn’t looooooooooove reading the guy who gets all the girls all the time get spanked in the heart by the chic most unlike any other chic he’s ever been with? Just me? LIES! Four, everything else LOL (I tell no lies) :)
The book looses a half star (but clearly that’s just in my head because half stars aren’t a real thing) because no one thought it was a good idea to burn down all parental units involved. *shrug* what can I say? I’m not always the nice girl bwaahahahahaha *cackles*
Now go do the thing. DO IT NOW!

I finished Paxton and Naomi's book and I had to jump straight into Patrick's. Because I seriously love watching a college sports hero who's incredibly promiscuous fall. And man did he fall hard.
I really didn't know how this book was going to play out. Especially since at the end of the last book Patrick was sleeping with anything that was breathing. And there wasn't even a hint of a romantic relationship anywhere in his future.
When Ellie was first mentioned I thought I knew how the story was going to play out and I was so glad to be proven wrong. The first meeting between Patrick and Ellie was great. And again, I thought I knew what was going to happen next and was wrong and I just got even more invested. I love that the things I automatically expect in a college romance were teased and not delivered.
The sparks between these two were flying off the page and I loved that despite their differences they didn't go with the obvious relationship dramas. Everything that happened between them felt natural and realistic and I couldn't put it down. I was dying to see how they were going to merge their very different directions into a life together.
This series is just awesome, and I love seeing the earlier couples together and seeing their relationships from outside perspectives. Along with seeing the secondary characters from different points of view. And I am thrilled I have the next two locked and loaded.

Overtime was a great read for me. Patrick and Elli are perfect for each other and it was wonderful reading about them falling in love. I liked Ellis Character in heartland and I loved what the author did with her.
May 1, 2021
Overtime is the fifth book in the Moo U series, but it does work as a standalone. There’s no need to read any other book before this one to enjoy it. Having said that, I loved reading Ellie’s story. She initially showed up in Heartland, so it’s really cool to see her again a bit older and ready to break out of her shell. And see a bit of Dylan Shipley and Chastity too.
I love the need-tutoring trope and it worked pretty well for this story at the beginning, but it was not developed enough in my opinion. Patrick is a party boy and the captain of the hockey team, and his grades are getting him in trouble. He’s been drafted and has to decide if he wants to go pro or finish his degree, but to continue playing he needs to improve his grades. Ellie is a “genius” and at 19, she already has two degrees and is working on her Master’s, so she becomes his statistics tutor. Their study sessions are soon forgotten though.
I liked Patrick so much more than I thought I would after Gametime, but it’s not really surprising considering two different authors wrote them. He’s starting to grow up emotionally and he’s really sweet and charming, especially with Ellie. They have a special connection since they first met, and it’s really interesting to see that connection and their relationship grow.
I really loved Ellie. She’s 19 years old and has spent all her life trying to please her parents by living up to their expectations and her own intellectual prowess. But she’s never been allowed to just be a kid and later a college student and have fun and friends. Her only attempted rebellion did not work out for her and now she’s struggling with what to do with her future.
Patrick and Ellie are completely different but they do have a major thing in common, and that’s their relationship with their parents. Patrick’s dad is an abusive douche who treats him like a commodity and puts too much pressure on him to go pro because of money and his own interests. Ellie’s mother is not abusive but she is overbearing and controlling, and is putting too much pressure on her “to libe up to her potential” and become an MD, the dream she had to give up when she was young. So they both have toxic relationships with their parents, and that is something that allows them to understand each other on a deeper level. And that connection allows them to support each other in being true to themselves.
I really loved reading Overtime. It’s a great hockey romance with a lot of emotional turmoil and feeling, where hockey plays an important role, and will give you all the feels. It’s sweet, romantic and there’s a lot of steam. I highly recommend it.

April 26, 2021After struggling with the way Gametime played out, I had a really hard time switching gears to this one. The character of Patrick seems to have gone through many incarnations and the one that showed up in this book was so different than the one I had in my head. This is likely another case of expectation vs. reality and unfortunately I wasn't able to reprogram my brain to buy into the storyline here.
The romance was a little insta which didn't seem to fit the Patrick character at all. It felt too simple/sweet - particularly for an opposites attract story and given Patrick's reputation and history. The change was very jarring and it just kept my mind and my heart from really settling into the storyline. In the end, I wound up putting this one down for good at at 20%.

Let me start this review by saying that I like romances between an outgoing guy and a shy nerdy girl. So I assumed that I would enjoy this book. But it wasn't exactly like that.
It wasn't that I didn't like both main characters. But I just couldn't feel their chemistry, this intense connection they are supposed to have. The story was kind of plain and slow.
Maybe I would have rated it with 3 stars instead of 2, but I felt that Blindsided was much better.

This is a really enjoyable, steamy college sports story. The sweet romance between Ellie and Patrick totally captured my heart.
As I haven’t read all of the books in this series I was pleased that it is a complete standalone and I didn’t feel I was missing anything from previous stories.
I always enjoy a brainiac tutor/ jock romance and this one hit the mark.

4 Star Review Overtime (Moo U #5) by Kat Mizera
Patrick Graham is flying high as a member of the hockey team, but with all his partying, his grades have fallen and he is in danger of losing his spot. When he is pushed to get help Ellie McGinn becomes his tutor.
I didn’t particularly like Patrick when he appeared in his brother’s book Overtime, but this book redeemed him for me. It was heartwarming to watch their friendship develop and I found myself smiling at numerous times whilst reading. The connection between them is real and endearing and it was entertaining to watch the playboy brought to his knees by the brilliant Ellie.
I have to say I have an intense dislike of Patrick’s father, he is such a jerk and Ellie’s mother was way too pushy with what she expects from her, although Ms.Mizera did redeem her eventually.

Overtime by Kat Mizera is the fifth book in the Moo U Series. Patrick was introduced in the previous book in the seris, Gametime. He is the twin brother to Paxton. Patrick is an excellent hockey player but his coach has mandated that he bring his grades up in order to stay on the hockey team. This is where Patrick meets Ellie as she begins to tutor him. Ellie is smart, quirky and sweet. The two have instant chemistry and I loved the progression of their relationship. I loved this couple together but individually they each had some family drama that was holding them back. I would have enjoyed it more if the characters stood up to their families sooner but overall it is a sweet addition to this series.

I loved that Patrick and Ellie are completely wrapped up in each other, yet are so sure of their chemistry and feelings brewing from the start. Their insecurities are so real and I felt in the moment with them. I definitely recommend this HEA.

loved this simply because i adore the whole reformed player-shes his academic tutor-he's her sexy times tutor and all that
with their trope, i actually found it really refreshing that the main issue wasnt his past and yk all his exes.
that being said there was a lot going on in this book idk it felt a little overwhelming but i did still enjoy the read

Arrrrggggaaa more parents meddling in their grown ass adults lives. It’s like every book!
Why man why. This is what book 5 please for the love that is holey let the next few books not have meddling parents I mean pretty please.
I love that we get the second twin Patrick and that he isn’t this womanizing man-slut that he was portrayed in the book before.
Ellie is kinda awesome I love that she is smart I just wish she would stand UP for herself my word. The women and do and be anything she wants all she has to do is fight.
The narration was perfect for this book.

I skimmed 75% of the text that wasn’t dialogue. I had high hopes for this series, but I’ve gotten increasingly disappointed the further into the series. I get the FMC is only 19 and that because she’s a genius everyone treats her like she’s older and more mature, but her immaturity really jumps out at times. It’s hard to suspend disbelief for even romance reasons as to why a very sexually active, junior hot shot hockey player would all of the sudden be banging the brains out of a virgin who comes from penetrative sex with no other stimulation during her second time having sex. She went from virgin to porn star level within a few rounds. And then the whole ectopic thing and her overbearing mother. Just…too much.

Books, Coffee & Passion
Even though Patrick annoyed me in Gametime, the previous book in the Moo U series, I was curious about his story and I’m happy that it didn’t disappoint. The set up to this book reminded me so much of One Tree Hill (Haley and Nathan)! Anyway, I love a good tutor-sports star romance, so I was very excited about this one.
Patrick was a great surprise to me. I wasn’t expecting to like him from the get-go but I did. I think it helped it wasn’t shown on page Patrick partying and sleeping around, I liked that the story started when Patrick had to start getting his grades up otherwise he could lose his spot in the team. That end up leading him to Ellie.
At first, I thought Ellie was too sweet and innocent for Patrick. But she also surprised me! She was a very interesting character. The fact they were so different but also so alike was gold! I wasn’t a fan of the way they met and their instant connection but I enjoyed how their relationship progressed. I absolutely loved how Patrick embraced the his feelings for Ellie and how they supported each other. Their chemistry was amazing and there were a lot of funny, sweet and steamy moments.
This was a very emotional story. Patrick and Ellie went through a lot. Their relationships with their parents, their expectations and dreams, Ellie’s struggle with her PHD program choice, Patrick’s indecision about going pro or finishing his degree, the uncertainty of their professional futures, the fact they could be forced to go on separate ways after college, their deep feelings for each other and a very sad and dramatic event… my heart broke for them.
Overall, Overtime was a beautiful, sweet, steamy, entertaining, emotional read with great characters and remarkable character growth. A great addition to the Moo U series.

**4.5**
Patrick and Ellie meet at a party one night. They both felt a connection immediately but when the cops break up the party they get separated. Only to be reunited a couple days later when Patrick shows up for his tutoring session to see that Ellie is his tutor. Ellie is 19, has two degrees, is working to finish her masters degree all while her parents are pressuring her to go to medical school - the last thing she wants to do is go to medical school but her parent won't relent so the pressure is mounting. Patrick's whole life has been hockey and he wants nothing more than to join the NHL but he is three classes away from getting his degree and to him that seems like a priority - but his dad doesn't keep quiet about how dumb staying in college is.
Just like with Gametime, I wasn't expecting this book to be as deep and as emotional as it was for me. The journey that Patrick and Ellie went on broke me. I felt so much for them and my heart was so heavy for what they went through and endured. Their parents sucked hairy donkey . . . and deserved no forgiveness. As I said this was a bit more emotional than I suspected but I loved every second of it and truly respected how the author recognized Ellie's age and said maybe I am too young for all this. I already felt that she was so strong and mature for her age but for her to say that . . . my heart hurt for her but it resonated as such a truth - felt so real in that moment. I also adored Patrick's growth and development. I loved watching him grow and realize what he wanted/needed in his life and to rid the toxicity from his life. I think this is my first book by this author but it won't be my last.

Patrick Graham, twin brother of Paxton, wasn't always painted in the best light in previous books - he was a player, somewhat selfish, and jealous of his brother's successes. But, it turns out that Patrick learns from everything he experiences and he grows into someone I really enjoyed reading about. Add to this mix, a smart, strong girl named Ellie and you've got the perfect recipe for a fun read filled with emotions and romance.
Both of these characters face challenges in their lives, most specifically because of their families, and of course this impacts their relationship. However, in what turns out to be a refreshing twist (at least when it comes to comparing this to other romance books), these two had pretty good communication for the most part and were able to work through most of their issues together. Of course, there's a bit of drama to add excitement to the storyline but it wasn't overdone in any way. I really enjoyed watching them tackle the obstacles put before them and make decisions about their own futures. Oh...and their chemistry was awesome!
Overall, this was a really good read and a great addition to this series!

No lie, Patrick was not my favorite character in Pax's book. I mean, I get that the twins had stuff to work through and Patrick wasn't at his best because it was Pax's story, but maaaaannnn. Let's just say the guy had to prove himself to me before I would get rid of my sour lemon face.
The good news? I did end up liking Patrick. He might have been foot loose and fancy free during Pax's story, but he cleaned up nicely. Having a genius tutor helped get him on the right track. Well, that and the possibility of being benched if his grades got to bad. Regardless, he buckled down and did what he needed to do and I can respect that.
As for Ellie, that lady's on fire. She's smart and sweet and, yeah, maybe she hasn't had the most typical college experience, but Patrick helps her unwind in that regard. Her biggest hurdle? Figuring out what she wants to do with her life. She really is smart enough to do anything, but her parents are pushing her in a direction she doesn't want to go and that makes things tough.
Adulting choices, steamy kisses, hockey family, and two people who work well together. *thumbs up*

Adulting choices, steamy kisses, hockey family, and two people who work well together. *thumbs up*

I was fresh off reading Patrick's twins's book so I wasn't sure what I was going to get from Patrick after seeing him a bit before, I was a little worried I wouldn't like him actually. Turns out I didn't have a thing to worry about! I really loved being in Patrick's head and getting to learn about him and what makes him tick. I just adored Ellie and I love how similar yet total opposites her and Patrick are. They both have pretty terrible parental support and I love how they both worked on themselves to be stronger. They have such cute chemistry right away and I love how they are a very well rounded couple and they really help each other grow and become stronger together. I really appreciate that they didn't solve each other's problems, but they offer the support to each other to overcome them. Their story packs more emotions than I was expecting and I just adored their journey even when it hurt. I devoured their story in less than a day and just couldn't get enough!! Another great addition to Moo U!!!

Extra time for love!
When Patrick needs a tutor to help him get his grades up, he never imagined that the tutor he's meeting is a girl he met at a party and had an instant attraction for. When Ellie realises the student she's meant to tutor is Patrick, captain of the hockey team and the guy who rescued her at a party. When they get to know each other more, they find an attraction that undeniable. When their world collides with the real world, can they survive the fallout or will they go their separate ways? This was an addictive read and I couldn't get enough of Patrick and Ellie.

This book and Gametime go hand in hand with each other since they follow the twin brothers and their HEA.
I enjoyed this one more than the previous one. The pacing felt a little off for me, and getting into the story was slow. Once I got to 50%, everything picked up and I enjoyed the book much more.

This was a much better story than the book before, and not just because North Dakota was in the championship game. This story reminded me of the earlier books, but with more hockey added to it. On to the next one!
