The NHL’s been at my door since I was 18.But I’d never leave the Swedish Hockey League—Not while raising my little brother.But now he’s grown and the Carolina Reapers show up with my greatest weakness:Langley Pierce, their new head of PR. I’ve never been able to say no to her.She’s fierce, independent, and the sexiest woman I’ve ever met.She also has a stubborn streak wider than my entire country. streak wider than my entire country.
One comment from her smart mouth about never dating again, and I propose.
No, really, I actually propose:
A six-month marriage contract in exchange for signing with the Reapers.
I want to date this woman so badly that I’m going to marry her first.
I’ll use each day to show her how a queen should be treated.
Our wedding day started a countdown I’m powerless to stop,
And the faster the months fly, the harder I fall.
She’s sworn she’ll never choose a man over her career,
And I promised never to ask her to.
Until I’m forced to.
How can we move forward when we started this whole thing backwards?
If I can’t convince her this marriage is anything but fake—
The next document we sign will crush us both.
Welcome to the Carolina Reapers, Samantha Whiskey’s newest hockey series where the chill of the ice meets sultry southern nights.

The Carolina Reapers is an awesome new team, taking a lot of the best from the Sharks! Introduced to Axel in the Sharks book of Faith and Lucas he just completely ensnared me in this one. He is so much a true hero and awesome guy. He has given up so much for family, without blinking an eye. He now takes a huge risk with Langley who has always put her career first. Axel bends over backwards to show her that he can be trusted and that he won’t make her choose (him or her career) but when Axel’s brother is seriously hurt and there is a problem with the Reapers family they both make choices and things are said that are regretted. This book has happy, sad and laughing moments. It is truly an awesome start to the new series.
I was offered an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
