Today Bestselling author Jami Davenport presents another Seattle Sockeyes
hockey romance and the fifth book in her Game On in Seattle sports romance
series showcasing alpha male heroes of football, baseball, and hockey.
Brimming with attitude and broken
beyond repair, Isaac "Ice" Wolfe has a heart as cold as his nickname,
and he likes it that way--until he meets his neighbor Avery Maxwell. Avery is unlike
any woman he's ever known. Her smile thaws his frozen heart. Being with her
heals his broken places. She makes him feel, and for Isaac that's not always a
good thing. Isaac has burned every bridge in his professional hockey career.
When he's traded to the Seattle Sockeyes halfway through their inaugural
season, he knows he won't get another chance. He's never been a team player,
yet he needs to become one--and fast.
Avery has only wanted one thing in her
life--to train and show horses. Her decision to drop out of college to pursue
her riding career causes a rift with her big sister, but Avery is tired of
following everyone else's dreams. Now she's following her own, and no one is
going to distract her from her passion--until she meets a dark stranger and his
cantankerous dog.
When Isaac is warned away from Avery
by the team's captain, who happens to be Avery's future brother-in-law, Isaac
sees the writing on the wall. It's Avery or his career. To Isaac, a life
without hockey wouldn't be a life worth living. But what about a life without
Avery?
Do Isaac and Avery sacrifice their
life's passions for their mutual passion for each other, or do they fight to
have it all, even if by doing so, they might lose everything in the end?

Review:
I am such a sucker for a hero that hasn't had it easy and this book was one of those reads. At first I thought Ice was a real asshole but as the story of his past is revealed little by little I just wanted to hug him. Only the right woman could make him want to be a better man.
I really liked this book had a fair amount of hockey scenes and it wasn't like a lot of sports romances out there who limit those scenes. I believe that those scenes should be included in he books along with the lovey dovey stuff. It makes it more realistic.
When Ice first sees Avery he can't keep his eyes off her and the connection is between them is strong. They have sex in the barn and They agree it can only be a one time thing. Slowly the start to become real close friends and Ice starts to open up to her. Avery didn't have a easy life either but with Ice by her side they are working through things together.
I enjoyed the characters and the challenge of these two characters getting over there past and looking forward to the future they both want and deserve. Although this was a quick read and I wanted more I ended up feeling satisfied by the end of the book. The story ended just how I thought it would along with them getting engaged.
I can't wait to see who the next book is about!
