Snagging a gold medal in the Olympics for long-distance cycling was a piece of cake for Carly. Taming the bad-boy hockey player, Brick, another story entirely. Or is it?CROSS-CHECKED is told from Olympic Gold Medalist Carly Flannigan's point of view, so we get a really good sense of how she is feeling about being the object of Brick's desires.  I would have expected Carly to be super confident, but she proves that even world-class Olympians succumb to the occasional case of self-doubt when members of the other sex are involved.  Although her lack of confidence in the love department was sometimes annoying, it made her less like a character in an erotic romance and more realistic, like a real woman might behave when falling in love.Brick brings every bit of the alpha-maleness you would expect from a hot and sexy hockey player.  Honestly, I almost skipped this book because I hated him in Hired (Hot Ice #1), but I sure am glad I didn't!  He is bossy in that kinky, bad-boy way that lets you know he is dirty to the core...dirty talker...dirty sex...dirty HOT!Lily Harlem brought exactly what I have come to expect from her - a great cast of characters and a deliciously erotic romance.  If that's what you are looking for, then  CROSS-CHECKED just might be the book for you!Reviewed by I Love Bookie Nookiefor TheRomanceReviews.com
