Resumen del Editor

Sara Randolph is head chef in a bar frequented by the San Francisco Strikers hockey team. With her history of having her heart broken by athletes, she really should be avoiding them. They're her Kryptonite, and left winger Colin O'Sullivan is at the top of the No Touch List, in spite of his delicious flirtations.

Colin "Sully" O'Sullivan is tired of being second best. His home team took the Stanley Cup the year after he was traded to San Francisco. He's been on the top line on the Strikers for a few years and now his spot is in question. But when the ginger-haired jokester lands a night in the arms of Sara, he thinks his luck is finally changing. Until she tells him it was all a terrible mistake.

Sara can't believe she let herself get carried away with Sully. He's an athlete. A player in all variations of the word. Been there. Done that. Never again. But there's no denying their attraction is hot enough to melt all the ice in the arena. When it comes to a faceoff between them, are they willing to own up to the truth about how they really feel about each other?

Sully and Sara .... its about time

I have now read the available series on Audible and I loved it. Just the right blend of story, romance, spice and tension. I hope that she brings the whole 8 book series to Audible. The first 4 stories have substance and blend the right mix without the angst and avoid the over-the-top drama that is draining.

I like that prior main characters from the previous books (and future MC's) play a background part and provide color and context without overwhelming the focus of the main characters. It really ads to the read.

In each case the trope was thoughtfully considered and a slightly different pitch is introduced. I like the way that the characters remain true to their back-story and there is no need to introduce new or twisting turns to follow the story.

Sara’s insecurities hold her back and the history with her family does make a lot of sense. Sully on the other hand was trying to juggle the “scared rabbit bolting” vibe from Sara and never knew which way to move.

I really enjoyed Sully’s caution and protectiveness of Sara. Sara’s story is a bit more unsettled and her insecurities play out larger than life but the story works out well and makes sense.

The reader was really good and never tried to over-play the characters.
