He knows every play in the book. But she’s calling the shots.
I’m Maddox Ledger, all-star winger and the reason the Charlotte Strikers killed it in the playoffs. Yeah, the tabloids like to call me arrogant. A real hothead. All I see is a guy who plays to win. Wreaking havoc on the ice, breaking a few hearts—that’s all just part of the game. And I’m sure as hell not sitting on the bench.
When my teammate asks me to be in his wedding party, I can’t refuse. Lucky for me, the bridesmaid I’m paired with is the definition of eye candy, but she’s so much more than that. Lacey Easton is totally irresistible and she makes me want to be a better man. A glimpse of bare shoulder takes me back to a steamy, two-week Vegas tryst I can’t forget. One I’m eager to repeat.
Suddenly our one-night stand is turning into the sequel. Still, Lacey’s keeping secrets. She doesn’t trust me. And maybe I deserve it. But I know more than she thinks I do and there’s no chance I’m letting her get away—or letting another guy take what is mine. This time, I’m playing for keeps.
Goodreads Review - “This 5 star story took me by surprise, that I had no choice but to read it in one sitting.” Goodreads Review - “Overall this is a book I would recommend for any Hockey lovers or just anyone looking for a Hero with a sensitive side.” Red’s Romance Reviews - “I have to say this one is definitely one of my favorites from this author, it was a well rounded emotionally rich read that left my heart overflowing, and put a unshakable smile on my face!! Highly recommend this one!!”
4 out of 5 stars
Maddox and Lacey started crazy and things didn’t change much! Maddox plays hockey with Lacey’s brother and she has admired him from afar since he joined the team. A two week vacation in Vegas ends with their marriage and her running away.
Two years later, they reconnect and that’s where we, the readers, come in. Watching them fight their attraction and hide it from everyone around was almost amusing. I can’t believe that more people weren’t in the loop, but I enjoyed the story.
Maddox had a character overhaul so to speak and became a better person. Lacey quit fighting and trusted him. It was a great story of second chances with just enough drama to keep me reading.
