Summary
Two years ago, I had the hottest night of my life with a woman who didn’t want to tell me her name—and in a tequila-fueled fever dream, I agreed. She was funny, sexy, and after I got past her brittle shell, secretly very sweet.
In the morning, she was gone. I’ve looked for her in every city I’ve played in since. That night ruined me for anyone else, but the woman I only know as “Jersey Girl” never showed up at another game.
Not until I skate onto brand new ice as part of the NHL’s latest team. And there she is, in the stands at our season opening game. Very carefully not looking at me.
Turns out, she has good reasons why she can’t date a pro hockey player. But I have even better reasons why she can—like, we’re meant for each other, and I’ll do whatever it takes to show her I am the steadfast and loyal type of man that she needs.

I liked how hockey was almost a character in the book itself and how knowledgeable Piper was despite having to pretend she wasn't, and how Piper's job was just as important. I needed a little more angst though as although there are some pretty heavy plot threads lined up such as Piper's abandonment issues and telling her mother, Kieran's father not being very supportive and even to a lesser extent Tillman's affair (100% thought it was going to be with Kiley at one point) but everything was resolved pretty quickly with no bumps in the road. I kept waiting for Piper's dad to make an appearance too after such a build up to the point where Piper wasn't even online to avoid people finding out they were related as well as the PR/media team being read in on the situation but it didn't go anywhere. It's still a satisfying listen though and if you want a low drama, spicy romance with a real cinnamon role of an MMC you'll really enjoy it.

Two years ago Kieran spent a hot and very sexy night with a mysterious woman. No names ok Jersey Girl. A hockey fan and one is prickle on the outside, but sweet and sexy under it all. Looking for her and not finding her, until starting for a new team there she is. Harper is still a bit prickly and Kieran has his work cut for to agree to date and be seen with him. The is soft and hard in all the right places. His reputation could be part of the problem, Ohh these two together is sexy and full of humour and emotions.

I like the characters and it was funny at times as well but the audio was slightly too much infil for me.
MMC is a hockey.player and fmc is a nurse, she has some hangups regarding sports players and he slowly breaks down her walls.

I am not a prude, but after the millionth time hearing the word c**k, I was over it. Surely, there are different/better words.
This was a very long book for what it was and really needed to be about half the length. No need to draw everything out so much.
Not for me
