Sometimes love is the riskiest game of all… of his late coach. Talk about a penalty.
Widowed mother Tiffany Marcus feels like her life is crumbling around her. Desperate to put her shattered world back together, she focuses on her three-year old twins, leaving little time or energy to deal with the aching loneliness after her husband’s sudden death. So she’s shocked when she starts to feel alive again–thanks to him. The helping hand and broad shoulder of one of the Las Vegas Sidewinders has her feeling things that she shouldn’t. Not yet.
Skating on thin ice takes on new meaning when the past catches up to them. With more than just love on the line, the stakes are higher than ever. Zakk has to make an impossible choice: Step in and be the man Tiff needs him to be, or let her go and love her from the bench.

The Last Vegas Sidewinders are a more than just a hockey team, they are family. They all look out for one another. Zakk and Tiff have been flirting for a while but being the widow of the assistant coach made things complicated. Just as they finally accept that they should be together an infatuation turns sinister.
I love Kat’s work, she is definitely one of my 1-click authors
First I want to say that I have loved everything by this author. She has a way of getting me engaged into a story so much that I cannot seem to put any story that she writes down. Fantastic Author! Amazing Stories! Naughty Characters!
Zakk’s finally gets the girl in his story… He is the heartthrob of the team and as they bring home the Stanley Cup he brings home the girl that he cannot seem to get out of his heart and mind. She is the most beautiful, strong and sexiest woman that he has ever met. Doesn’t matter to him that she is the wife to his late coach… he steps up and takes care of the beauty in more ways than one.
Tiff is the widow of Dave Marcus, he was the coach for the Las Vegas Sidewinders, this team is like her family. Even the very attractive Zakk, someone whom has always been a friend and always been there for her. Their attraction for each other comes to a head when she needs him the most; he protects this woman with a devotion that is so hot and beautiful.
Zakk goes to the ends of the earth for Tiff and her kids. When Marco (the Sidewinders Goalie and a dangerous man) manipulates Tiff all under the guise that she is protecting everyone she loves; Zakk has to protect the children and rely on his friends to help him rescue her.
This all leads up to Toli and Tessa’s wedding; where I do not think that we have seen the last of Marco, the dangerous goalie.
Zakk and Tiff’s story is really good and well worth reading. There is enough suspense, tension and mystery to keep you on the edge of your seat, but also a wonderfully romantic love story. I felt a real connection to both characters and cared about what happened to them. Tiff and Zakk are both really well written characters, they both make some silly decisions but I love how human and normal this makes them feel. Their chemistry is off the charts and there are some super steamy scenes to balance the danger and peril.
There are lies upon lies to wade through, thankfully in this instance not lies by the main characters, though they do have some secrets to admit. The struggle to find truths and reasons held my attention throughout, as did the excellent writing, good pace and intriguing plot.
Whilst the ending isn’t a cliffhanger, as such, part of the story is set to continue in the next book, Tessa and Toli. Without a shadow of doubt I will be reading this book as soon as possible and hoping that someone unpleasant gets his comeuppance.
