Synopsis courtesy
of Goodreads
With a famous NHL
player for a step-brother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the
playboy reputation many hockey stars come with. She’s smart enough to
steer clear of those hot, well-built boys with unparalleled stamina.
That is until she meets the legendary team captain—Alex Waters.
Violet isn’t interested in his pretty, beat-up face, or his rock-hard six-pack abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s previous misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he becomes more than just a hot body with a face to match.
In what can only be considered a complete lapse in judgment, Violet finds out just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. But what starts out as a one-night stand, quickly turns into something more. Post-night of orgasmic magic, Alex starts to call, and text, and e-mail and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts, making him difficult to ignore, and even more difficult not to like.
The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game

Review
I’m going to be honest—this was a disappointment. There
were some things I liked about it, but generally the characters were annoying
and I felt the writing was immature. And the hockey parts felt
under-researched.
Alex, the hero, was one of the better things. He was
generally kind and nice. And not just to Violet. He was friendly to the other
people/women in his life. This says a lot about his personality. Oh, and he was
a big fan of consent which you just don’t see enough off.
But Violet pissed me off. She was very rude to her family
and constantly over-reacted to things. God forbid she actually talk to Alex
about something he does like a grown up. I rolled my eyes a lot during her
chapters. And every time she talked about her beaver I cringed.
I was going to say more, but I don’t want to give more of
my time to this. Although I may still read the next book because Buck seems OK
and his relationship with Sunny might be cute.
Thanks for reading!
