- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019This is probably my favorite book that I’ve read by Meghan Quinn to date. I am a sucker for a good slow burn and this one was a slow burn. <i>The Locker Room</i> tells the love story of Knox, a college baseball player who is on his way to being first pick in the draft, and Emory, a transfer with a rough past in the romance department that is determined to chase her dreams. After a meet cute, Knox is hooked on Emory and begins the journey of getting her to give him a chance–however Emory has been burned and burned bad, so as Knox shows her that he is different, Emory must decide if love is worth the risk.
I am not ashamed to say that I binged reading this one while at work and neglected all my projects just so I could find out what happens next to these lovebirds (probably not the wisest decision as now I am scrambling at work but #worthit). Quinn dishes up a slow burn that reeks of sexual tension I cannot even begin to describe to you. We get to see the progression of Emory and Knox’s relationship as it transitions from strangers to friends to lovers.
I honestly loved every single moment in this book, I couldn’t get enough of their relationship and the character development of Emory and to some degree Knox. Deep, connective, and relatable, Emory is the girl we can all see a bit of ourselves in. After being hurt by her ex, Emory packs her bags and transfers to a different university licking her wounds and determined to do things for her instead of someone else. She never expects her feelings for Knox to evolve and grow outside the boundaries of friendship, however as we get deeper into the novel we see that when Knox sets out to woo–the boy woos.
My heart swooned relentlessly as I watched Knox convince Emory he was it for her, the attentiveness, the heart, and the honest to god genuineness Knox showed Emory made me instantly invested in his objective, I swear you can just start calling me team Knox because wow I am in that man’s corner. I love his relationship with our supporting cast and how much of a gentleman he was to those he came across. Perfect in every way imaginable, yet he never comes across as a gary-stu character.
Quinn out does herself with this novel as we see an honest take of a relationship forming and the ups and downs that come with one. Its been days since finishing and I am still captivated by her words and their story.
If you are a lover of romance and slow burns I definitely without a doubt recommend this novel to you. Funny, romantic, and deep, The Locker Room is a novel with chemistry and sexual tension that is out of this world that you wont be able to put down until the very end.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 20233 1/2 stars.
This starts off great. It has everything you want out of it: meet cute, humor, amazing male lead, heroine who comes to life with the H, but then it falls a little flat. 85% of the story is the back story of how they fell in love and then only 10% or less shows them how they reconnect and end up together. That falls a bit flat for me. After all they’d been through 5 pages over how if fizzles out, one chapter on where Emory is now and then bam back together was just not enough catharsis for the heart wrenching breakup that crushed them both. This must be one of Quinn’s earlier pieces because the style of writing is a bit different and there isn’t a fully finished s*x scene until the end and only one. But the bits and pieces they do do are cute and full of chemistry. I absolutely loved Knox Gentry. He was one of the sweetest and cutest male leads I’ve read in awhile. He’s memorable and funny and driven. Would love to see more of him in other books if she decided to make a trilogy and show Carson’s story or Holts.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019New author for me, and I found this gem checking my friends feed on Good Reads. And OMG I am so happy I clicked this read. I cried. I laughed. And I just plain fell in love with this story. Even with how it all played out, I can't rate this enough.
When Emory transfer Brentwood University, she's still in the process of dealing with a bad breakup. Six years of her life wasted on an asshole who she pretty much threw her life away for. Giving up her friends, her dreams and herself for him. But when she catches him cheating on her the way she handled that? Omg it was priceless, and so visually funny what she did (I'll let you experience it for yourself) but needless to say you need to read it to picture it.
Okay so now she's away from this cheating ass and is now at Brentwood, back with her two best friends and starting over. Doing what she dreamed of always doing. Meeting someone new is so far off her radar it's not even a possibility in her mind. But seeing Knox Gentry (god I love his name) and she is re-thinking her choice, not that she'll admit it.
Knox Gentry (ahh his name) is a baseball god. This guy is going places, Major league places. But Knox is also a good guy. He's funny, charming and loveable. And the moment he meets Emory he know's in that instant that she's someone he was meant to meet. And he's relentless in his pursuit. I can't say enough about him but he is such a genuinely refreshing lead character that you can't help but smile as you read. The banter between these two is off the charts. Their text messages? OMG I'm still smiling big they were funny, hot and made you want more.
But Emory is wary, she's over her ex but six years of your life is not easy to forget. She values the friendship she's formed with Knox. It's special and she doesn't want to lose that. But she also can't deny the attraction either. It's a slow build, but it's also damn sexy hot. Everyone is on board and rooting for these two. His team-mates, his mom (she is GOLD and I fell in love with her) her best friends who push her when needed. And just when you think its going to be happily ever after it's not. She lets him go. Knox has a huge future ahead of him and Emory knows that him trying to hold on to them will ruin it eventually. Knox though is heart broken. He doesn't see it that way. But Emory is adamant and won't be swayed. She loves him enough to let him go. Cue the ugly crying. It was not pretty and I seriously thought WTF? I put the book down and thought I can't deal with this. It's like they broke up with me, personally.
Fast forward over the next eight years. You get a glimpse of what they have both achieved. Knox went onto Baseball glory. Emory achieved her goal and became a librarian. Neither forgot the love they had for each other.
But it's meeting eight long years later and what they had really never left either of them. Theres angry words, loss and pain. And I must admit I'm still pissed at Emory for making that decision for them both but I can see her point of view. But once you get past all of what they lost and could have had you realise that the right choices were made for them at the time.
I fell in love with Knox Gentry and this story. I can't give it enough stars.
Get ready for your new book boyfriedn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loves the ending.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the bet going on through the book but I loved the ending. I loved how the main characters didn’t instantly reconnect and forgive each other (like most books) they actually fought it out. You could feel the pain and regret they both had.

3.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, but oh my god am I frustrated
It got frustrating towards the end, but it's still a great book.
×××CONTAIN SPOILERS×××
Ok, I loved the book. Truly. But then Emory did what she did and it got frustrating for me. I felt like Knox, I was fully committed to their relationship and she just broke them up like that?! And then she saw he was drafted to the team from Chicago and she didn't even try to contact him?! And I get it it's a two way street, but she was the one who broke then up, because she thought it was the best. She didn't even try. Ohh I dont know, maybe I'm wrong... but im just so so so frustrated with all the time they lost because she jumped the gun.
I think I expressed my frustration a thousand times here, but that is only because I was relating so much to it, and then emory just gave up and ugrrrrrrr frustrating hahah

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you want in a book and more!!
I honestly cannot put into words how amazing this book is! I was genuinely wrapped up in knots throughout and couldn’t put it down from the moment I opened it. Em and Knox are fantastic, the humour, emotion, quirkiness and passion is unbelievable throughout and although I laughed a lot at their quick wit and sass, I also had tears, anxiety and a racing heart throughout their journey and felt invested in them and I didn’t want the book to end.
This is a story that will stick with me! One that I will go back to wanting to read about their journey again and again just to feel that connection and the emotions once more.
A MUST READ!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

5.0 out of 5 stars really great read
I read some reviews that didn’t like the timeline of this book, but I loved it. The main characters and side characters all had great chemistry and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute reading it.
