Hockey legend Devin Garrison thought he blew his shot. But his relationship with Callie Caplan just went into overtime.
Sexy, rich, and one of the biggest stars in the NHL, Devin Garrison has always been the one who had it all. That is until his marriage falls apart and he realizes he has to start over. If he’s honest, there has only been one woman who ever really excited him-Callie Caplan. They shared a night that was hotter than the late-summer sun, but in an instant-Callie was gone, pretending it never happened.
Callie Caplan isn’t the wild child people think she is. It’s true she’s avoided relationships, but only because she’s seen how crazy love can be. And her messy, imperfect life is crazy enough without opening her heart to a man-even one as picture perfect as Devin. But when fate brings them back together-just as they need each other most-Devin is determined to convince Callie that what she’s feeling is real. And this final play may be their chance at forever . . .
Review
The Final Move is the third and last book in the Hometown Players series and brings us another Caplan and Garrison pairing and I for one was very excited. Having been following this series from the start I was curious where Devin and Callie’s story would go seeing as they had a past but he had a wife. Well things are not well at home and when Devin’s wife decides to leave him at the same time that his close friend Callie is in town he finds a new roommate and shoulder to lean on. This is not a story of a man hopping from one bed to another but the story of a man broken by the destruction of his family and learning to love and trust through someone he has always been drawn too.
Having grown up in a home without a strong example of love Callie decides that letting love lead your life is for fools and sets out to just have fun. Having had and left Devin years before she thinks she can move on esp since he did. But living with him and spending so much time starts to change her and soon she is desiring things she never thought she would want.
I loved Devin and Callie. They had so many obstacles and yet it was clear the whole time that they were perfect for each other. I am a huge fan of hockey romances and hope that Victoria Denault continues to put them out as she not only captures the beauty of these gruff and rough around the edges men but also the excitement and danger of the sport itself.
