BLURB ➞
Jett Olsson isn’t looking for anything serious and she’s not looking for anything at all, so why does it seem so hard to keep it professional?
I love my life—the thrill of being on the ice as part of the Arizona Vengeance, the rush of winning, the adoration of the fans. And if that adoration means I don’t have to spend the night alone, well even better. I’m content being single and always ready to mingle.
But the day Emory Holland walks into a Vengeance team meeting my attention is caught like never before. I can tell right away she’s full of smarts and sass, and the fact that she’s hot as hell sure doesn’t hurt either. She immediately shuts down my advances, so I opt for the road less traveled—straight to the friend zone.
My approach works like a charm, and when she invites me into her bed for a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement, I vow to give her everything I have. She’s been hurt before, and if I’m able to help her heal while giving her a spectacularly satisfying time *pats self on back*, then I’ll be happy.
Or at least that’s the lie I keep telling myself as the time ticks down on the final buzzer of our “relationship”. Now the real question is, can I score the winning goal in a game neither of us realized we were playing?
We let this go where it goes. It may go nowhere. It may go the distance. It might settle somewhere in between. But I’m not ready to give up yet. Are you?
ARC REVIEW ➞
I am absolutely hooked on this series and Jett made me fall even more in love with it.
Emory works for the Vengeance and Jett is a player for the team. What started as a “business” meeting quickly formed into something a little more casual. They were just suppose to have some fun, no complications. Neither Jett or Emory was looking for something series, however, things don’t always work out the way they are planned.
Jett is so sweet and caring. He instantly cares about Emory’s daughter, Felicity, and he also becomes protective of Emory’s sister, Jenna. He is also supportive of Emory and her decisions. It is pretty impossible not to fall for the man. I loved Emory, she came out of a bad situation with her ex husband and gave herself a better life and her daughter a better life. She is also caring and protective of her family. I loved the connection and the chemistry between Jett and Emory. They are perfect for each other.
I loved every moment of this story and I can’t wait to get to know more about Riggs!
