***Standalone Romantic Comedy***With a famous NHL player for a stepbrother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the playboy reputation of many a hockey star. She isn’t interested in legendary team captain Alex Waters or his pretty, beat-up face and rock-hard six-pack abs. When Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes … becomes much more than just a hot body with the face to match.
Suffering from a complete lapse in judgment, Violet discovers just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. Violet believes her night of orgasmic magic with Alex is just that: one night. But Alex starts to call. And text. And email and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts. Suddenly, he’s too difficult to ignore, and nearly impossible not to like.
The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game.

A great book.
Alex and Violet are the icing on the previable cake. Violet has, with good reason, a bias against hockey players. Her ex was a cheating user and her stepbrother is a manwhore of the highest order – both hockey players and those are just two examples. However, she can’t always control her hormones and that is how she ended spending the night with Alex Waters, Captain of the Hawks. She expected him to hit it and quit it like his reputation would suggest is his MO, but Alex is putting on a completely different from texting and calling to gift and pop-ins. Alex’s rep is almost all fictitious but he’s never repudiated it because it’s good for his brand as it were, but now that he’s meet Violet it just might be his downfall. Convincing her to put aside her preconceived notions and give them a shot is going to take work, but he’s no stranger to hard work.

This is different from any other romance I have read. I know little about hockey, but I really enjoyed this story and could not put it down.
I really enjoyed this book. Sooo witty with a bonus of hot, hot sex scenes. Highly recommend.

Could NOT quit after the first book. Laughed out loud a couple of times, total brain candy for sure!! If you’re looking for a fun read with great characters that build into the series, then this is for you!!
The characters are adorable, funny, and a little raunchy while still nerdy. Laughed until I cried and then laughed again. Wonderful story. Can’t wait to read more of her books.
