I'm a veteran hockey player known as Ballas the Beast.
All I want to do is continue playing hockey and extend my contract with
the Vikings for another year.
But those goals might be thwarted because of her.
Karis Spurlock is the niece of the team owner, known as the Ice Queen because
she comes across cold as ice.
When we hooked up in Vegas six months ago, she was anything but cold...she was
hot and daring and it was supposed to be a one-time thing. No strings. No
attachments. No need to ever interact again.
Just the way I like it.
Yet here I am negotiating what could be the terms of my final contract with the
one woman I slept with in Vegas.
The same woman who now owns the Vancouver Vikings through a tragic twist of
fate. And who also is now my new boss.

This
is a new series from Sierra Hill. And although I've enjoyed some of her
previous work, I feel like it's been forever since I've read any of it. And I
kind of went into this one blind. Then I got the link for the little novella
and figured I'd read that first.
I
really can't decide if that was a mistake or not. It set me up to really like
Karis. And it had some pretty steamy scenes and a bit of background info on how
Karis and Ballas know each other. But then it kind of ended and I jumped into
the book, and I sort of immediately disliked Ballas.
And
despite the fact Karis was this awesome boss babe, I felt like she needed to
call Ballas out more and make him grovel. Thankfully the book is dual POV so
getting Ballas's thoughts and feelings on things made him a lot less unlikable.
It didn't help that he never actually said any of the important stuff to Karis
and I think she not just deserved it, but really needed it.
Now
that all said, Karis was awesome, and she did act very maturely and
professionally. And Ballas wasn't terrible, he just was clueless and in a
position that he didn't know how to deal with. And I was very invested in
seeing this all play out. I just really love some serious grovel.

There’s only one
course of action when your dad wants you to marry a clammy-handed wimp to make
one of his board members happy—you get yourself stuck in an elevator with a hot
stranger and have the steamiest make-out session of your life. Years of etiquette
lessons went out the window thanks to Cameron Wilder, who managed to unleash my
hidden bad girl with naught but his talented mouth and deliciously rough hands.
Afterwards, he went
back to his small-town life, and I marched home to inform my dad there would be
no business-centric nuptials. As punishment, he shipped me off to Sisters,
Oregon and demanded I turn a healthy profit on a not-so-healthy property.
You see where I’m
going with this—the buttoned-up city girl stuck in a small town hires a local
builder to help her … and he’s the hot stranger from the elevator. Turns out, I
have a weakness for the broad-shouldered nice guy who’s not so nice behind closed
doors. Keeping things professional gets harder the longer I’m in town, until
the only lesson I have left to learn is how to keep both our hearts from
getting broken.

This
book kind of blew me away. I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I
started reading but I just got more. I love Micalea’s The Boys series so when I
saw the promo for this, I jumped at it before I even read the blurb.
Then
I read the blurb, and I was still not sure how it was going to go. But I didn't
expect to be captivated in the life of Via. And with the way the book was
written in three parts I had a nervous anticipation of the why of that until I
was so busy living the story, I forgot to worry about it.
By
the time part two kicked in I was even more invested in the story. Because
having Reid's POV was the cherry on top. That man knew what he wanted, and he
wasn't afraid to work for it. Add in the fact he could be all commanding and
possessive, and his wow factor just kept going up.
The
growth of Via was awesome. Some of her decisions along the way were a little
annoying but I kind of understood her logic. The fact that she was so open and
honest with Reid made her choices even easier to justify. Their relationship
progressed so beautifully, and I loved watching her connect with her people and
improve her relationship with her sister.
I'm
so beyond excited to get Izzy's book next. I think that's going to be hot. And
considering how heated Reid got me I'm hoping his dad has some surprises up his
sleeve for us. Oh, and please can we get a book for Reid’s sister and the book
club babes? Please!?!

going to let me go so easily this time.

Oh
my god. I kind of hate Karla so hard right now. I spent about a quarter of this
book either crying or trying not to cry. I don't know if we got a lot of Tim's
story in Greer's book and I've just forgotten the emotions or if it's because
time has passed or just that Cameron was closer to the situation but Jesus, it
gutted me.
I
kind of read the blurb and in my head, I was getting a cute little rom com with
a fish out of water twist. But literally nothing from Ivy was what I expected.
Her emotions were so visceral, and I felt them with her. Everything about the Wilder
family is so perfect and beautiful despite the fact that they are all flawed,
normal human beings going through this tragic event. And coming from a
background where that's foreign, I completely understood her culture shock.
Not
a single thing in this book played out like I anticipated. And I spent so much
time in my feels while reading it. But it was beautiful and touching and real,
and I couldn't put it down. I have so many hopes for the future siblings, and I
love seeing the characters I've met through earlier books. But for today I'm
going to angry wash my dishes and curse Karla's name.
I
found this book through a teaser on Facebook. I saw it, thought it sounded good
and added it to my TBR and then finished reading the two books I had to read.
Then I went back to Goodreads to find it and for some reason it wasn't on my TBR
and all I could remember was the line from the teaser. I spent an hour trawling
through Facebook until I found it because that's how my brain works.
So,
I found a new to me author through a random Facebook post and now I'm obsessed.
Because this book was exactly what I wanted when I went looking for it. Ash was
very self-aware, which I really love in new adult heroines. But even more than
that she was able to accept that the actions of the people around her weren't
her responsibility.
Colt
though was book boyfriend goals. From the moment he lays eyes on Ash he goes
after her. And even though he wasn't in a position to pursue her he still put
his cards on the table and set about doing everything he could to make things
better for her. He never left any doubt about what he was thinking and how he
was feeling. Everything about him was just awesome.
I'm
so glad that I fixated on this book because I'm hoping that we are getting
books for all the great secondary characters we met. And I can't wait to get my
hands on the next one because from what I've already seen between them the
sparks are going to be flying.
This
author is fairly new to me, in fact I think I have only read one other book and
I loved it. So, when I was having a minor book slump and saw this on KU I
figured I'd jump in. And I am kind of struggling on how to review and rate it.
Because I don't know if my issues were my attitude and attention or the actual
story and characters.
Firstly,
the premise was great and right up my alley. I love the whole damaged, loner
going all out to win over the single mum. Especially when he has to work and
grovel a little to make up for his initial gruffness or stupid mistakes. I also
love a Mumma bear who's super protective of her baby. And I got bits and pieces
of that but not enough to really win me over.
One
thing I know was a me problem was that the leading lady was named Keegan and I
know a man Keegan so every time I read Keegan, I was thinking masculine not
feminine. Normally the name thing doesn't distract me as much as it did here.
And I had moments where I liked Keegan, but she never really was as protective
as her self-proclamations claimed.
Ford
would have been a great hero but his reasoning for being a loner was just a
little weak. I think most of the planet has daddy issues and there didn't seem
to be anything special about his except for his reaction to it. The return of
his brother and the relationship between them felt like it was kind of under
done.
Overall,
I just couldn't get invested enough in either character and I kept getting
dragged out of the story. There were a lot of points I enjoyed and it's highly
possible that if I read this at a better time, I probably would have overlooked
all of the above.
