BLURB ➞
Trouble.
One word that comes to mind when someone talks about me. I like to think of it as protection, watching out for the ones I love. But now I’m spending more time in the penalty box than on the ice and the team owner isn’t happy.
Finding myself across the room from the hot therapist I kissed on New Year’s Eve only makes me push my problems down further. I want couch time with her but not the kind she’s used to.
I decide to lie to her just to finish off my therapy so I can do what I really want—date her—even if she says she doesn’t date hockey players. Just when my therapy sessions are up and I’ve made some headway with Paisley, it’s my parents who throw another wrench in my plans.
If I abide by my parent’s wishes to marry the one they’ve chosen, I’ll lose Paisley forever. But if I go against my parents, I’m failing my deceased best friend all over again.
I want to discover all this stuff by being with you. All the small things that make you, you. Do I want to have sex with you? I do. But I also want all of you. Your thoughts, your fears, your desires and pet peeves. Everything.
ARC REVIEW ➞
It all started with a kiss. That kiss sparked a connection, however, it was quickly broken when Paisley became the new team therapist and Maksim a patient. However, Maksim isn’t one for therapy and he isn’t about to let Paisley go.
Maksim may be known for his fights and attitude on the ice, but inside there is a sweet and romantic side to him. Those dates! I loved them and they were so fun and original. Seriously, can anyone blame Paisley for falling for the man when she knew she shouldn’t!? Paisley is the girl next door. She is sweet and caring, but also is struggling. I love that these two characters brought out a different side to each other and were also able to help each other throughout their journey together.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the bromance between Aiden, Maksim and Ford? I absolutely love the friendship between these three men. They started out as teammates but have developed a much deeper bond and friendship.
