Hot, goody goodness! What a steamy book. Had to stick my head in the freezer a few times. Shayne and Lacey essentially grew up together but.... Lacey is about ten years older! Yes, a younger man/older woman romance. One of my favorite tropes! Loved it! Shayne, an NHL player, comes to town to attend a fundraiser for a hockey school he attended when he was a kid that was run by Lacey's father, his coach. He sees Lacey at the party and is struck dumb. When did she get so sexy!? Lacey just divorced her husband of twenty years who was sleeping with a 20 year old. She has two daughters, one of whom, a very angry teenager. The chemistry between Shayne and Lacey was nuclear! Oh the sexy times, the dirty talk - just wonderful. It was also, surprisingly, emotional. Shayne actually hates the town because of his family life and only plans to be there a short time. Lacey's whole life is in the town. Both the H and the h were nicely developed characters. And a great shout out to the secondary characters. This was a short book but each character was multi-dimensional. I scouted around for a sequel or at least an epilogue but nothing. But just a lovely, short, very hot read.
