BLURB ➞
Lucky.
The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and my team owner is talking about trading me.
I’ve never believed in superstitions. Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be.
Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.
I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.
“So maybe you do believe in superstitions.”
ARC REVIEW ➞
Superstitions, hockey, emotions and passion. My Lucky #13 is all that and more.
I absolutely love Aiden. He is in a slump and all it took was a glass of wine to the face and that slump had ended. Now he is determined to stay out of the slump, even if it means a glass of wine has to be thrown in his face before every game. Aiden is so much more than just a hockey player. He is the team captain, he is a great friend, uncle, brother, and son. He loves hockey but there is also a love he has for his family, especially his niece. Saige isn’t new to the sports world, however, after being burned in the past buy a boyfriend who also happened to be an athlete, she tends to stay away from them, even more so when they are also her client.
I loved the friendship that Aiden and Saige formed. While it was an odd start with her throwing the wine in his face, the more time they spent together it just grew into something. There was also a connection between them and a spark, but neither really acted upon it. Though chemistry can only be ignored for so long before things explode. There were some ups and downs to their relationship, plenty of steam and lots of laughs.
I adored the secondary characters who also happen to be Aiden’s teammates and best friends. I can’t wait to see where their stories go!
