Synopsis

One night, one time, nothing more. That’s all it was supposed to be. They’d agreed their first night together would be their only night together—and Minnesota Glaciers defenseman Dylan Rylie was fine with that. Giant hickeys and claw marks on his ass had never been his style, even if the very memory of Samantha Yates’s merciless sexual energy gets him hard within seconds. He needs to focus on getting a better contract, not mind-blowing orgasms.

One night, one time, nothing more. Fresh off representing the US at the Games and with nowhere else to play, Samantha gave in to one night of frantic passion with the Glaciers’ brawny hotshot. She couldn’t get hurt—not if she controlled the outcome. And she planned to leave Minnesota soon, anyway. She didn’t expect to be recruited to coach Dylan after they’d gotten down and dirty.

When brutal on-ice workouts lead to kinky locker room sessions and “one night” falls by the wayside, Samantha insists on keeping things casual, despite Dylan’s quiet hope for more. But when Dylan goes down—hard—and his career is in jeopardy, Samantha is the first one by his side. What will it take to keep her there after he’s healed?

Review

To say I have been in a hockey phase would be a vast understatement. I have been devouring any and all hockey themed books that I can get my hands on for awhile now and when I saw the invite for this one I jumped at the chance to review it.

After a challenge on the ice during a charity event, former Team USA women’s hockey player Samantha (Sam) schools current pro hockey party boy Dylan on the fact that girls can kick ass on ice. The two find themselves at a bar with friends and cannot deny their chemistry which leads to one incredibly hot and sexy somewhat public encounter.

But things might be getting a little awkward when Sam starts privately coaching Dylan and the two must find balance between their professional relationship and the fact that keeping their hands off each other seems impossible. Sam feels frustrated that she cannot have pro success like Dylan simply because she is a woman and there is no female pro league. She is tough and no non-sense and completely gives Dylan a run for his money.

I really enjoyed this hot and sexy sports romance. Samantha’s struggle to fins her place and Dylan’s desire to prove that he isn’t the party boy that he portrayed to be kept me turning pages and eagerly reading. Anytime I had to put my kindle down I was desperate to get back to the book to watch the drama play out and the passion erupt!

While this is my first book by Lynda Aicher, I am excited to read more!
