Reese Blackwood
I’m called America’s sweetheart.
They say I have the voice of an angel.
I almost gave all that up, thanks to a traumatic experience at the start of my career. Instead of letting it define me, I chose to rise above. I showed everyone what a woman on a mission could accomplish, and now I’m living my dream.
After one chance meeting, my entire world changes. Austin is every woman’s fantasy, and he wants me. While the attraction is there for me as well, I don’t need any distractions right now.
Austin Jones
Focused.
Driven.
I’m the man I am today because I never let the idea of settling down disrupt being the best I can during my hockey career.
But then Reese floats into my life and everything changes, and now all I want to do is pin her against the boards.
They say opposites attract. You can’t get more opposite than Country Music’s hottest female singer and a hockey player from Canada. With competing travel schedules, our instant attraction appears to be doomed from the start. Can it really be love? Or is it just a hot ice-melting fling?

This is the 5th book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone. It is a slow burn romance with a great friendship developed before they move ahead with a relationship. I liked Austin and Reese as characters. I enjoyed all the hockey moments as well.
The book is mostly fluff with a small bit of tension thrown in. It was a quick afternoon read for me and really did not leave me with anything more to say. Run of the mill romance with a sweet HEA.
My main issues with this author are around her writing style. Much of the book is repetitive conversations and jumps in time and action. "Weeks have gone by.... time flew by"..... filler words with out much action by our characters. This one was better than the first book of the series but it still was just meh... for me.
