She’s hell on heels. From the moment we met over powdered sugar, I yearned to melt the icicles dripping from her wool tailored tweed. I have to have her and I always get what I want. Even if it means giving up my playboy ways.I’m the most badass center the NHL has ever seen and my plus/minus ratio is inspiring. Almost as impressive as my chiseled body and ahem…other huge assets. I can fire a … ahem…other huge assets. I can fire a shot from any angle that will make the opposing goalie scream for his mother. When it comes to pucks and f*cks, I’ll always light the red light.
But my desire for Eloise puts my Hall of Fame career on the line. That and her secrets. The ones I never wanted to know. I’m a rich, famous hockey player–she’s a front office exec. On paper we don’t fit. But there’s one place where we fit. Like a glove.
I have a stellar career and other obligations so I know I shouldn’t get involved with her. It’s too perilous. I can’t fall…risk losing my heart. But for the first time, I woman sees me. The real me. Not some millionaire playboy that leaves panting women stranded in the stands.
But Eloise has been hiding something from me.She has a secret that threatens to destroy us both. And so this soaring NHL superstar is actually worried. Because if she lets it see the light of day,we’re over.
Done.

Excellent contemporary hockey romance. Eloise is head of the PR with the Riots hockey team. Her wealthy boss expects everyone even the community to bow down to him. Cole is a recent trade to the team and takes notice of the classy woman in a suit. There’s a lot of entertainment and angst in the book but both the characters and story line are well developed into an interesting read. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Charles, especially in this series.
I love hockey romance and this had one good hockey scene, the rest was more about the front office. Eloise (El) was really hard for me to like. The author gave reasons why she was the way she was but to me just came across as mean. Cole was likable for most of the book but then when the chips were down he blew it for me. I would give this book a 3 1/2 stars, the story was good I just needed more from the characters, maybe the book needed to be longer.
This book sweeps you into the crazy world of hockey! You get to see what goes on “behind the scenes” of an NHL hockey team and see a romance blossom between the unlikely pair of The Ice Queen and the Beantown Bard. Eloise is focused on her career in marketing and can’t find a man that can get past her icy exterior. Cole just joined the Rochester Riots to help get the team the Stanley Cup. I love how the two meet and their almost instantaneous chemistry. I expected Ryder to have a more nefarious role in the book, but there were plenty of other interesting obstacles. I know you’ll love this story and how Cole and Eloise get their happy ending. Watch out for Kylie; she’s a pistol!
Felt part of the story. Really connected
