“It’s my final hockey season, and I don’t have time for distractions. So why can’t I stop thinking about Jessa?” Enjoyed this. Short, steamy, and romantic. The characters are great.
The championship is what Ben has to look forward to before he retires from hockey. As he’s walking back to the locker room he needs Jessa, a graphic designer. Jessa has been in love with him since she was able to appreciate hockey with her three older brothers and dad. Jessa admires his hockey skills on the ice and as they say the rest is history.

Loved it! Jessa and Ben are as cute as they are hot! The fact that Ben is very protective of her from the get-go just makes him that much hotter. I love this series and this installment solidifies why. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I really enjoyed this story. Ben and Jessa were great characters that worked well together. No real angst, which was nice and the little that there was, was resolved easily and quickly. Ben and Jessa have no idea that they were set up to meet by a matchmaker and yet everything works out great. I definitely recommend reading this book.

While these are only short reads they are great fun stories about men who for various reasons have never had a chance to find the woman that is meant for them so someone in their lives signs them up for a partner through the Zaftig dating service a service where people are matched without even realising it..
Ben has devoted his life to ice hockey but now at 37 he is facing his final year on the ice and his team knows that he has nothing else so his captain Yuri Surovich signs him up. Jessa comes from a ice hockey crazy family and she has had a crush on Ben of the Carolina Crewmen team for years so when she is offered the chance to act as the liaison between the graphic company and the team as she works to redesign their logo she jumps at it. Things heat up when she literally runs smack into Ben he knows she is the woman for him right from the word go Looks like Mona Zaftog ahs done it again.
This is another installment of the Zaftig Dating Agency books. Ben is a pro hockey player in his last season. Jessa is younger, a graphic designer. They meet when her company is in the running to design a new team logo. It’s insta-love for Ben. Oh wait… for her too! This is a really cute, very short and steamy romance, a quick read.

She’s a Hollis girl.
Jessa is way younger than Ben Hollis, nerdy, artsy and chubby but totally into hockey, and definitely into the much older Ben Hollis, 37, hockey player.
Quick and fun.

Yeah another amazing story by Jane Fox. Ben and Jessa’s chemistry makes the pages literally sizzle. I love a good story where the heroine gets with the guy she’s been crushing on and boy was Ben worth it! Also, Jessa is a freaking badass! From her confidence to her quick wit when faced with a less than gentlemanly team mate of Ben’s – she is a totally rock star and one of my favorite Fox heroines to date!

The Zaftig Dating Agency’s potential target match this time is between 37-year-old Ben Hollis, a hockey player for the North Carolina Crewmen, and Jessa Czarnik, a 23-year-old graphic designer. His team captain claims Ben has been focused on hockey since he was a kid and never made time for a life outside the sport – and he needs a little secret push from the Zaftig Dating Agency to find someone outside of the ice rink. Jessa will represent Howard Graphic Design and serve as liaison with the Crewmen to redesign their logo, so there will be chances for them to meet.
This is Ben’s last season of professional hockey. When Yuri calls lunch break, he heads back to the locker room to get out of his gear. He almost runs into Claude, their PR man, who has a woman with him. He is introduced to Jessa, who comes from a hockey-loving family and is thrilled to meet one of the players – especially her long-time favorite player. He tells her to come watch their practice after lunch. He is really talented and she loves watching his graceful skating. Then another player says something to him and Ben punches him before the Captain broke up the fight. Ben skated over to Jessa and arranges to meet her for coffee later. That goes so well that he invites her to his home so he can cook dinner for her and she ends up spending the night. Will the two of them decide to make this a permanent date? Jessa adores him and can’t believe that he seems to want to be with her too! Will this be another successful case for the Zaftig Dating Agency?
I just love these Zaftig stories! The characters are amazing and totally likeable. The reader can’t help but wish happiness for them. The story line is good and actually relatable since we would all love to find a HEA with our favorite hero! Grab your copy and see if something good is waiting for these two!

The book is about a woman(Jessa Czarnik) is a graphic designer that thinks she is not worth a man that is a little older then she is.

Thank You for writing the books so we can read it.
Ben and Jessa lock eyes and its over for them. He knows after talking to her and spending the evening getting to know each other she’s the one for him.
Scoring a Hat Trick with their hearts!!!
Fire and Ice is the eighth book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series and it will melt the ice right off your Kindle. Ben is thirty-seven and has been a professional hockey player for the past fifteen years. He is now starting training season in what will be his final playing season before he retires. He has devoted himself to hockey to the detriment of his personal life and so he does not have a wife or family. Jessa is twenty-three and works as a graphic designer. She was raised in a hockey crazed family with her father and three older brothers all being huge fans of the local North Carolina Crewmen team. Her mother tolerates the sport but Jessa has always loved it and also had a crush on Ben since she was a teenager.
The team wants to redesign their logo and the company Jessa works for, Howard Graphic Design, has arranged for her to go to the Bolton Center for the day so she can get some ideas. If they are awarded the contract she will be the liaison between Howard and the team.
What neither Ben or Jessa realize is that the Zaftig Dating Agency has been hired by the team captain, Yuri Surovich, to find Ben a woman that can help him “explore the world outside of the ice rink”. And boy once Jessa literally runs into the wall of muscle that is Ben’s chest he is completely taken with her. Then when she opens her mouth to say “You’re taller than I thought you would be.” and it is a slapshot to his heart. Add in the fact that Jessa also loves hockey and it is double overtime for this big man. Jessa cannot believe she is actually meeting Ben let alone when he invites her to come to watch the afternoon practice. Then when he asks her out for some coffee he is giddy. It seems Mona Zaftig has once again worked her magic and scored a hat trick with Ben and Jessa
This is a fun and entertaining short story with an interesting story-line and two very wonderful characters with Ben and Jessa. They are sweet and romantic together and once they get heated up off the ice it is a full blown heat wave.
Absolutely loved this story! Certainly don’t have to be a hockey fan to appreciate the comraderie between teammates or the heat that develops between Ben and Jessa. Such a sweet couple that you can tell are perfect for each other. If you enjoy romance with heat, this novella is sure to please.

Fire and Ice by Jane Fox. What a great short story, fast paced and filled with insta attraction, insta connection, and insta love. I enjoyed the fact that they had common interest and she was truly a fan of the sport along with the legend. Sometimes it all about being in the right place at the right time.
