Review: Holy Hockey Hotness!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 27, 2013
When I heard Samantha had written another book, I stopped what I was reading and 1-clicked Fair Play earlier this afternoon. Now it's 2am and I could not put it down. At first, I thought it was starting out a bit slow, but then I got completely sucked into the  characters and the life with the Ice Cats, a pro hockey team in New Brunswick. I feel a book hangover coming on. Now that I've seen the trailers for the next two books in the series, I understand a little of the extra dialogue and background. I can't wait for the next one!!This book is a standalone book that is part of a series. There is no cliffhanger. The next book continues their story in the next stage of their lives.Would I recommend to a friend: absolutelyWill I re-read this: yup. I see myself keeping this on the kindle for another rainy day.Will I read more by this author: yes. I read her first two and I'll be reading the rest of this series.Steaminess: 8 of 10: this not for the faint of heart nor for prudes. But if you are familiar with Samantha's other books, you know she can write hot scenes that have you feeling naughtily like a voyeuer. But the sex doesn't overwhelm the story- it supports it.Savannah is the new trainer for the team, and the only female trainer in the league, so she has something to prove and a bit of a chip on her shoulder. But once she realizes that these guys are her friends too, her spunk shines through. She is no wimpy princess waiting to be rescued- nope, she can take care of herself. I love that.Garrick is an older hockey player with only a year or two left in his career. He lusts after her every day as she tapes him up and fixes him after a game, but it's not until something threatens her that he takes action. He's sweet, considerate, but also demanding and dominant- a good combination. Sigh.....Garrick and Savannah team up against a common enemy- true slimeball- to keep Sav safe. Joining them is a whole cast of characters who seem like the kind of guys I'd love to hang around a pub with.Overall impression: another solid standalone book by this author. I can't wait for more about Savannah and Garrick.
