"I'm so pucked. There'd better be a support group for hockey hookers. I'm going to need it after tonight."

I WANT AN ALEX WATERS!!!

*fans self*

This story follows Violet, who's sworn off hockey players after getting her heart broken, and Alex who's the incredibly sexy captain of her stepbrothers hockey team. Violet goes to one of the home games with her parents to support her stepbrother and then meets Alex at the bar. Their attraction is instant, which then leads to what was supposed to be a one night stand. But Alex isn't like that and tries to pursue a relationship with her. They slowly fall in love but there's the problem of the scrutiny of the media and they've perceived Alex to be somewhat of a player.

"I thought we were meeting at the coffee shop?"
"I thought we could walk over together."
"And you didn't want me to stand you up?"
His smile is lopsided, one dimple popping out.
"Something like that."
"I could still run."
"You could try. I'm pretty fast if I'm chasing after something I want."
The butterflies flitting around in my stomach reached tornado level flutters.

Ahhhh ALEX WATERS!!!! He's so sweet, caring, determined, and ridiculously sexy with his SUPER MC! Violet is awkward, funny and crazy weird in the best one. She just says things without thinking and it's absolutely hilarious to read! She had me cracking up!

"Sorry." He massages my scalp.
"S'okay. I've been reading a lot of Dom-Sub stuff in my book club lately."
Hair pulling isn't even close to the same thing. It's not like he's tied me up and makes me call him Sir or Master.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Nothing. Never mind. It's not important."

I love how they first started off physical, but their was always something more there! And Alex trying to break down Violets walls was the sweetest!

Its intense and charged, and I want it to stay like this between us. I want to want him with this kind of insatiable need forever. But passion fades eventually, and the warm soft balm of love is what keeps the fire burning.

I don't want to say much without spoiling, but this one is STEAMY, FUN, LIGHT, and ADDICTING. I bought this on my kindle and I'll definitely be purchasing the rest of this series! The characters are witty, and I can't wait to see more of Alex and Violet! They're so cute!

The reason why I was torn between giving this a 4 or a 5 is because I felt the ending was a little rushed, I would have liked to see more, but we do get a swoon-worthy epilogue and a ton of more books, so I really can't complain! Definitely pick this one up if you're looking for a very steamy and laugh-out-loud hockey romance!! Alex Waters has officially been added to the book boyfriend list! Still dying over him!!

I take her face between my hands. "This ridiculousness right here-" I kiss her-"is why I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Her hands come over mine, her smile full of tenderness and love. "I'm so glad you fought for me. You're the best chance I've taken."
