All he wanted was a simple life with the girl of his dreams and hockey.

He never expected to walk in and see that side of his brother and most definitely didn’t think he’d find his fiancee with him.
Adam wanted to wipe the floor with him to make that loser bleed.
There was nothing here for him not anymore.
The last thing Adam had expected was to end up the hospital but even worse his ex thought to show her face.
He’s life was going to Hades in a hand basket however Adam was darn lucky to be breathing.
Julia had given Adam a ride home from the hospital she’d been surprised that he still lived in his parents old home he was a hockey player who probably could have bought something fancier.
Adam hadn’t liked what he was witnessing some sleaze bag had his paws all over Julia an she didn’t look good.
Thank god he’d stopped him from leaving with her.
Barely awake Julia couldn’t remember how she got home but she smelled something being cooked.
Julia was still trying to piece last night together in her mind.
The last person she’d thought to find standing there was this woman who happened to be Adam’s ex.
Heather was trying her patience did she honestly think she was buying what she was trying to sell her as the gospel truth.
She really enjoyed kicking her out.
Julia’s world crumbled in an instant someone had put a picture of her and that sleazy ball up and now everyone was treating her like a pariah.
It never rains but its pours right on him. First his backstabbing brother an second he’s being accused of using drugs to enhance his career.
Adam was at his wits end trying to figure out how he and Julia ended up on a speedy train to the Arkham Asylum.
All he wanted was a simple life with the girl of his dreams and hockey.

I purchased a copy of the three novel collection the Minnesota Caribou Digital Boxed Set 1-3 by Colleen Charles and this review was given freely.
This is not your usual sports related steamy collection as each Hockey player is injured and towards the end of his Caribou playing career. This steamy collection contains plain language and focuses more on broken family relationships and becoming stronger and happier when finding their significant other.

I purchased a copy of the novel Checked in the Minnesota Caribou Digital Boxed Set 1-3 by Colleen Charles and this review was given freely.
An steamy modern Cinderella and an attraction at first sight novel with a retired billionaire hockey player and a struggling single mother. While a good story on its own, the beginning was a little disappointing because I was expecting this to be Milo and Tania’s happy ever after with their own children but, the book begins with a retired and injured Milo mourning the death of a pregnant Tania. Milo’s heart opens to love when a little boy contacts him through social media and after his body responds to his first sight of the Kwik Stop’s cashier, the divorced mother of three Maisy.
I so loved this book. It was a mix of this and that, which kept our kinds guessing. It showed us that you never give up on something that you know you want but aren’t sure if you should try and get it. Julius and Adam are that perfect couple who has to fight to keep it that way. So many people ou to make their life hell. Bit in the end it works out. I can’t wait to read the next book where we get to meet Reed. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
Absolutely couldn’t put this book down. I was lucky enough to get the box set and loved every part. Will definitely be following this author.
Adam and Julia good sports story with a whole lot of drama. Adam was pretty uptight jerk for most of the story not unwarranted but misdirected. Julia was way too forgiving about his behavior but tough in how she handled it in the end.
A Review of Benched Minnesota Caribou – Book 1 by Colleen Charles
Adam and Julia – 4.5 Stars
Ms. Charles has written a book that covers to gamut of chaos and suffering from a betrayal that is soul crushing. This is one heck of a rollercoaster book, with twists and turns aplenty, that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Definitely one that you don’t want to miss.

I just can’t put her books down
She had loved him since she saw him kiss the ice when she was still in school and he was her brother’s best friend. He had loved her since the first time he met her. When she gets the chance to be there for him she has no idea the crap storm she will unleash. I am so glad I purchased this boxset and not the individual books I would have hated waiting to find out what would happen next. This author sends us on a merry go round of an adventure. Filled will betrayal of the worse kind. Jealousy that triggers unimaginable horrors. Vengeful acts that can’t be measured. And a love that can beat it all into submission.
I love the way this author spins a tale and have absolutely no idea why I haven’t read more of her work. Her style is perfect for me with the flow and the characters and the content, with layers of stuff to get through before it’s done. And to top it off a bonus story which leads to another series.
Loved Julia and Adam’s story! Colleen Charles is an incredible writer!
