Summary

Mike Stewart is a bad boy.

Sleeping around. Boozing. Fighting with teammates. Name a bad behavior and he’s done it - done it so well, in fact, that he almost tanked his career as a starting defense man for the NHL’s San Francisco Gold.

But Mike is done with all that. He’s starting with a fresh foot forward and putting his past behind him. That is, until his past quite literally reappears before his eyes.

Sara Jetty is just as beautiful as she was a decade before, but Mike hasn’t seen her since she left for the biggest winter international competition and scored a gold medal in women’s figure skating. Now something has put shadows in her eyes, a familiar type of hurt he is all too well versed in. This Sara wants nothing to do with him. Their easy friendship is gone and in its place is a hardened woman who’s nothing like the girl from his past.

Still, Mike hasn’t become a top defensemen in the NHL by being afraid of hard work, and he isn’t about to let Sara push him away. Come hell or high water, he’s going to crack her tough outer shell and find the sweet, innocent woman he’s lusted after and loved, in equal measure, for more than 10 years.

Oh man. I'm just enjoying this team of narrators. I don't know what it is, but they are really bringing the story to life for me... giving voice to these characters. Mike and Sara's story was done really well. I enjoyed the writing it's a good series so far. I love how different Mike has become in this story.

I’ve really enjoyed seeing how these characters grow with these books. They are so likeable. I’m not really into hockey but I get that part of the storyline as Elise has written it so well. Great narration.

These characters are brilliant

You don't have to read Blocked before Backhand, however since the characters feature prominently in both stories it would be better to read them in order.

The set up to the story seemed to have a lot of holes in the back story, but it had an interesting twist at the end and I liked it. I thought it was strange that Mike was a good guy growing up but spent 10 years being a jerk and not having any idea what had happened to a close friend before suddenly deciding to turn over a new leaf. If you set all of that aside though, I did like the story.

Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas did a solid job with the narration.

Listener received this title free

I received this audiobook free for a honest review as a member of the Pink Flamingo Production Review Team. This story took off running and didn't stop until the end. The end had a twist that I didn't see coming. I was wondering throughout how Sarah was going to get cleared of all charges and the end didn't disappoint. The love and romance between Sarah and Mike was adorable. The narrators were very good. Especially Gregory Salinas. He was awesome!! Gonna start on the next standalone in this series soon.

The Plot Thickens, Awesome
