His agent is his biggest weakness… sports world, a woman who made it to the top on her own. She’s not the least bit entertained with my lifestyle. But she’s determined to cure my bad boy ways and get my life back on track… as long as I move in with her.
I thought I could make it through one week without wanting my agent. I was so wrong. Our living arrangement makes it impossible to stay away from each other and tests her rule about dating clients. Rules she has for a reason. But she should have known the bad boy of the NHL would make every effort to break them.

Jillian Quinn rocks! I absolutely love hockey stories, this one by far has been super enjoyable. Coach is a strong, independent woman who does not mess around. She would never mix business with pleasure, but then Parker comes along. Parker was clearly headed on a downward spiral but pulls himself together. Could not put this book down. Great story!
Great book and well written! I can’t wait for more of the face off series. Charlotte Coachman is Parkers agent who intends to help him clean up his reputation. Alex Parker is a womanizing bad boy who has a very bad reputation. I’m a sucker for a storyline with people who shouldn’t or can’t be together and Quinn played this one perfectly. Charlotte takes her job very seriously and her boss and father figure has a strict no dating policy between clients and agents, so no matter how badly she wants Parker, she can’t go there. The chemistry between these two was HOT and the sexual tension was heavy. Things change after the two met, and we get to see them develop as well throughout the book. The ending will leave your heart melting and will also leave you wanting for more.
I got so hooked,I ended up reading ALL the legacy books
What a great hockey romance book loved Coach and Alex’s story.
This book has been on my TBR for awhile, and I am so mad that I waited so long to read it.
Coach is a sports agent who has proved you can be a successful woman in a man’s world. She is amazing at her job and doesn’t take crap from anyone.
Alex is a hot shot hockey player who has had one too many nights out on the town. He has made so many mistakes and now it is starting to affect his career.
These two feel the attraction, but Coach’s rules, pride in her career, and her past hold her back. Being with Alex will not only make her lose her credibility, but he represents her past…a past that she doesn’t want to revisit anytime soon.
I loved Coach. She was a no nonsense type of girl who was treated as equal. She had built her life from the ground up, and she was bound and determined to help those around her.
Alex has a lot of growing up to do and trying to manage his grief is difficult. He has always gotten what he wants and doesn’t understand why Coach is different.
The ending was absolutely perfect. If there was anyway to win a girl back, that student would definitely do it!
I cannot wait to continue this series and see the rest of the guys fall!
Charlotte “Coach” Coachmen is a sports manager and a little league basketball coach. Parker is a professional Hockey player who has everything going for him until his father passes away and Parker’s life changes forever. Charlotte was assigned Parker and supposed to get him back on track and out of trouble. From the minute they met the chemistry between them ignites and the flame gets bigger the more time they spend together. Can Coach and Parker find a common ground and get their HEA? Or will the flame die out and they each go their separate ways?
This is a well written story with great character development. The secondary characters were just as humorous and entertaining. I love reading books where the characters are deep and believable. This author leaves you feeling like you know each of the characters personally. If you are looking for an emotional read with a great HEA..this is it.
A sexy hockey story ! Bex grew up around hockey players. She wasn’t interested in the sport. Her father was a Hockey Coach and the players knew his daughter was off limits. Preston Parker joined the team. He always concentrated on his game while playing and during practice. Then Preston met Bex…….. The storyline was action packed and plenty of twists and turns. The plot was well developed. The characters are well described and their chemistry was great. I look forward to the next book in the series. I read this book as an arc program.
This is my first Jillian Quinn read and I really enjoyed Parker and Charlotte (Coach) story. The Face-Off Series is a definite read for me, all of Jillian books will be definite reads!!
My FAVORITE Jillian Quinn book. Parker and Coach are both amazing characters. Literally from the first page I was hooked. I loved and hated Parker at the same time and I felt for Coach and her history. READ IT … you will be hooked and want to read all of her Face Off series as well as all of her other books. Ms Quinn is an Amazing story teller!!
Alex Parker, one of the NHL’s hottest hockey stars, is on a path of destruction, and if he doesn’t turn things around quick he is going to find his dreams of winning the Stanley Cup cut short. After losing his father he found himself truly alone for the first time in his life and it hurts like hell, his father was always the one who kept him on the straight and narrow, and kept him focused on the game. But without him around Alex has picked up some bad habits, and those bad habits have just cost him his spot on the team, and his agent has given him his last chance to get his act together, which has landed him in Philly and on the doorstep of the straight laced agent known as Coach. He’s heard rumors about her, but nothing could prepare him for what he finds on the other side of the door…
If life has taught Charlotte “Coach” Coachman anything it’s that it doesn’t come with guarantees, after losing her parents at a young age, she was left alone to fend for herself, and it’s made her a little tougher than most. It’s made her determined to find a better path in life than her parents chose, and for the most part she has found it, she is an agent to some of the most famous athletes in the world and in a round about way is living out her dream to be on the basketball court by coaching a kids basketball team. But her life takes an unexpected turn when one of her clients lives becomes unraveled and it’s up to her to get him back on track, her boss is counting on her to get him straightened out and back to playing to his potential, and she is determined to take on the challenge… that is until she finds him on her doorstep. The minute Alex enters her world she feels the sparks bouncing between them, but she has rules, and dating a client is a big no no, no matter how gorgeous he may be!
This was my first read from this author, so it was kind of refreshing to be able to explore a new writing style and just sort of jump in with no preconceived expectations.When I read the synopsis for it I thought it sounded like something that was right up my alley, and boy was I right! I am a sucker for a hockey themed romance story that comes equipped with a smooth talking, good heart-ed, ice alpha and Alex totally hit the mark, he had me swooning the whole way through!! This was quite an impressive first read for me and I hope that there are more hockey stories from Ms. Quinn to come, I think she has definitely found her niche, and also gave readers a plausible and touching story line that will move them beyond words and leave them with a happy heart!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book, Jillian another great book, I really enjoyed this book couldn’t put it down till i finished it. Wow Wow Wow, This book was brillant. Alex and Charlotte what can i say HOT, you get no spoilers here so on and buy it. I would definitely recommend this book
Parker was a fantastic book. I also loved the storyline and his relationship that occurred with the woman who was to keep him out of trouble. A wonderful love story.
I enjoyed this series…as it’s a hockey series there is a lot of cussing and a little more explicit sex than I prefer. I loved the characters and that while each book can stand alone (no cliff hangers) the characters all show up in the next book.
Charlotte(aka coach) and Alex(aka Parker) may have more in common than they think once they get to know each other.Coach is a sports agent, Parker is a hockey player.Coach is put in charge of helping Parker on the straight and narrow road he had made quite a few mistakes to give him a bad reputation.Charlotte and Alex are both dealing with issues from there past . Maybe just maybe they can help one another heal from there issues in there past.Looking forward to reading Kane’s book.

Alex and Charlotte are from opposite ends of the same world. I love that Char can’t help but break her rules and that Alex is willing to change his ways for her. It’s a bit predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless.
There were a few things that happened, where I was ready to throw my Kindle, I was so mad at Alex or Charlotte.
I did enjoy this HEA romance and I look forward to reading the rest of the series and I do recommend this book.
