Alec is a member for the Gulls hockey team. He is also in a relationship with Madison who is one of the Gull girls. They shouldn’t be dating but have kept it quiet for two years until he was being charged with a crime he didn’t commit but in order to say he’s innocent he’d have to tell about his relationship with Madison. That wasn’t going to happen so the team hired a PI to help or so they thought, Once the PI got involved the evidence cleared Alec from his crime but also the PI found out Alec & Madison were seeing each other. I can’t wait to read on to see how this series pans out with the Hockey team

I’ve read several books written by this author; she has done a great job at writing a good book, and is becoming one of my favorite authors! I can’t wait to read more by her.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book!

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.

This is book 5 in the In the Slapshot series and it features Madison and Alec. Secretly dating because ice girls and hockey players are not allowed to date, these two have been together for two years. Now he’s being accused of a heinous crime and the only alibi he has is the woman he’s not supposed to be dating. These two are on fire! I love them together. I love their intense relationship. I do not love her mom or her dad though. That is a terrible parent/child relationship.
I love their story but it was definitely lacking a deeper connection. There wasn’t really a climax to his legal problems. I loved Madison‘s moment with her parents but even that was over too quickly. I think I just wanted more…more of them and their life.
I really liked that Alec and Madison were already together and this was about them fighting to keep their relationship. I am glad that Alec was able to prove he did nothing wrong. I also really loved that Madison stood by Alec and wanted to be there to help however she could.

I haven’t read all of this series, just a couple, but I can say that this one is a nice easy, quick read, flows smoothly, gets to the heart of the matters, and keep you interested. Alec Schumacher is one of the star players for the NHL team, Newport Beach Seagulls. Madison Montgomery is a college student and one of the Gulls Gals, who support the team. She and Alec are involved in a secret relationship because one of the rules for a Gulls Gals is not to mingle with the Seagulls’ players. A once-upon-a-time player of all things hot women, Alec, upon meeting Madison two years ago, had settled down with the one woman he wanted and desired. Madison adored Alec and wanted to protect him and his career in all things. She is put to the test when Alec comes up against a tough criminal charge, when she wants to come forward and protect him and he wants to protect her by keeping her out of the public eye. Complicated by very unreasonable parents, Madison experiences more frustration than she thought possible. But Ms Meyers writes the story in a succinct but thoughtful manner, giving you a whole look at the picture without going on and on with inconsequential information, which is one thing I love most about her writing. There is a lovely HEA, and Madison ends up being a very bright, self-confident, forward-driven young woman, with a well-built, handsome, thoughtful, and devoted boyfriend. This is a happy tale of a couple who just truly love each other and want to share themselves and protect each other at all costs!

Madison is a member of the Gull Girls and Alec is a star player of the Seagulls. They’ve been in a secret relationship for two years because fraternizing between the Gull Girls and the Seagulls is forbidden. When Alec is accused of sexual assault his alibi is Madison but he refuses to involve her. Although I enjoyed this story at times it was a bit frustrating to read because I wanted them to speak up and tell the truth about their relationship. Other than that this is a steamy story with interesting twists and turns.
I loved this book you get a feel for the characters right from the start. It has a strong and well thought out plot that kept me turning the pages.

I liked this entertaining read. There is a lot of emotional turmoil and tension in Alec and Madison’s story. Alec’s desire to protect Madison is in direct conflict with Madison’s desire to help Alec. Steamy and packed with drama, I thought this was a very engaging read.
4.5 stars Excellent sports, hockey romance. Alec and Madison are each dealing with personal problems as well as work related. The blurb gives a tidbit of what the story is about. The author did a wonderful job of developing the characters as well as the story line. I received a complementary copy of this book via Booksprout and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Myers.
A forbidden love story. Madison is a Gulls Girl and is prohibited from dating any of the Seagulls players. Alex Schumacher, a former ladies’ man, is the Seagulls player she has been dating for the past two years. Alex gets accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the airport bathroom and is arrested. His only alibi is Madison, but he refuses to get her involved – she could lose her job, scholarship and her parents do not know they are dating which could get her tuition revoked by her uber controlling father.

I enjoyed this book and was frustrated at the same time. So Madison and Alec have been having been dating for about 2 years but they wont tell anyone because it is forbidden. I get that part Madison’s parents were nightmares especially her father and they treated her like a child so when she finally spoke up for herself with them I cheered her on she was not a child she should have been standing on her own two feet. I loved Alec. What bugged me was after Alec was accused of Rape that Madison did not speak up! that pissed me off there was no excuse not to which would have saved him and his reputation a lot of trouble..No good excuse.. none.
Great plot with very likeable characters made this book a very enjoyable and entertaining read!
This is sweet, steamy, entertaining and romantic. Alec is charming, chivalrous, protective, stubborn and caring. Madison is feisty, determined, passionate and loyal. He’s a hockey player, she’s an ice girl, there’s a no fraternizing rule that they have been ignoring. They’ve hidden their relationship for 2 years because Madison loves her job, and Alec wants to protect her. But out of nowhere Alec is accused of rape, and even though she’s his alibi, he won’t let her out them, to anybody. While they’re dealing with that, Madison is also dealing with her plans for after she graduates, and her father’s insistence that she come home. Things get very hairy for a while, but both are counting on love overcoming everything. I received a copy of this book from Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
A quick and spicy sports romance.
Madison has been hiding a lot from her family in the hopes of getting out from under her fathers’ control. Including her relationship with the hockey player, Alec. But with her college graduation drawing closer she’s going to have to make some serious decisions.
This is the fifth book in the Slapshot Series but I didn’t have any trouble reading it all by its self.
