Living in San Diego definitely has its perks, such as, sunshine and
beaches. The best part of moving to the west coast, however, is that Steven is
still on the east coast. Catching your almost husband having sex with one of
your bridesmaids on your wedding day would make even the strongest woman jaded.
Therefore, Lacey has sworn off men for a while, especially men who travel a lot
that have easy access to loose women.
When Lacey meets the new enforcer for the San Diego Scorpions, she
thinks she might be in trouble.
But she is determined to fight her attraction to the sexy NHL hunk.
And she is successful...for about a day.

Review
So it seems that hockey romance is one of the new
trends. You won’t find this girl complaining! I went to my fair share of hockey
games just to watch hot guys throughout college! Definitely don’t mind reading
this one.
I really enjoyed this novel! I always enjoy seeing a
woman is strong & independent, but can realize that it is ok to depend on a
guy. And then a guy that actively pursues a girl, oh yes. The writing flowed and kept me interested
throughout the entire story. There was an added element of drama concerning the
ex which kept you guessing how things might go down and when, but wasn’t cheesy
or corny.
I also really enjoyed the mental health aspect of
this entire story. Considering Lacey’s best friend is a psychiatrist, it is a
main theme throughout the story and addresses various issues. It does this
without dragging the story to a depressing level though. I really liked that!
This was a very happy read and it kept me smiling
throughout the story!

Alternate Point of View
Lacey was excited and
nervous for their first date. When they got to the beach, Jody led her over to
a bench and asked her to sit. She sat down and looked up at him wishing he
would kiss her again. Like he could read her mind, before he turned to walk
back to the truck to retrieve their picnic items, he bent down and kissed her.
She wished she knew what
he was thinking. He lingered a bit longer, and she thought he might be catching
her scent. She personally loved the minty chocolate soap she’d used, but would
he? It wasn’t a scent that one would typically associate with soap.
“I love the way you
smell.” Pressing his lips to hers again quickly, he turned to walk away. As he
walked away, Lacey sat there enjoying the view. He was such a pleasure to look
at, whether he was coming or going.
Jody walked back over to
Lacey with a basket on one arm and a blanket on the other. Aside from being
able to spend the night with him, she couldn’t think of a better way to spend
an evening. To her eternal mortification, Lacey felt tears prick the back of
her eyes. Mother Nature, what a bitch. What were the chances of her being
unable to make love to Jody for the first time when every fiber of her being
had told her that tonight would be the night? She wanted to throat punch Mother
Nature. What could she say? Hormones made her violent.

and men. Really, is there anything better?
I live in Hammonton, NJ with my
husband of over 18 years. It's not always easy but it's always worth it.

anything with strong characters. I also love some supernatural thrown in and
anything that involves a hockey player!
