Body Check

Blades Hockey Series, Book 4

De: Maria Luis

Narrado por: Elizabeth Hart, Joe Hempel

They call me the Bad*ss of Hockey. The Beast of the Northeast. And I'm not just referring to my stick play on the ice.

As captain for the Boston Blades, I've spent years working toward bringing home the Stanley Cup. But when the owners sell us out to Hollywood, suddenly we're not just playing for thousands of fans, we're cracking open our lives on Getting Pucked, a new reality show. They want all the dirty details, and I'd rather take a puck to the gonads than peel back the curtains on my life. Not when it could take me out of the game for good.

I agree to sign the contract on one condition: They hire New England's reigning queen of media to call the shots. Holly Belliveaux Carter. The woman who drives me to insanity and turns me on with nothing but a quirk of her lips and the sound of her laugh. The only woman I've ever loved.

The problem? She's my ex-wife.

Contains mature themes.

Favorite Blades couple

I honestly didn't think this would be my favorite Blades couple, but of course Maria proved me wrong. Jackson and Holly may have had a few bumps in the road, but they found their way back to each other in this second chance romance. The narrators did a fantastic job. I felt like I was in the story with the characters. I can't wait for more of the Blades.

The best

Best story with a great duo to narrated this book.
The series was getting better and better and what a beautiful story to end this series.
I loved it. You could sense all the emotions of Holly and Jackson, it was perfect.

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The narrator was great.

I like the HEA

I don't exactly enjoy second chance romances so this one may not be for me. So take the review with a grain of salt. But I did understand what Jackson was going through and how tough that could be and how it could destroy a marriage. I loved that he was able to turn his life around. Good save! Love the narrators a lot in this one!

A moving novel

This book was a mix of everything! So emotional and loving. Very powerful. I didn’t know if I’d like it as much as the others since she didn’t introduce these characters much in the other books. She did with the captain but not the female protagonist. I could have read more!

Love this book!!!

The narrators were incredible!!

What happens when two people stop talking, they fall apart. What happens when they decide to be honest with themselves and each other- Perfection and that’s Body Check!!

I love Holly & Jackson so much!!! This book gave me all the feels!! These characters have history! But Maria Luis writes them so well. I love the honesty of both characters with themselves and then each other.

And just when you think man is this intense...... Maria Luis throws in some laughter, but it flows so well and makes sense. I cried, laughed, felt happiness and joy then heartbreak and happiness again!!

There are some twists and angst but I loved the honesty, the real life issues, true love, supportive characters from the other Blades Hockey books- it was incredible!

Holly & Jackson are one my top book couples. I love them together! Maria Luis- love you and this book! I could go on and on with so many highlighted sections and thoughts but all I can say is - everyone go read this book!!

Beautiful!

Loved Jackson & Holly. This story is about a couple who lost their spark but not the love. Communication is the key and in this story they both see that. Learning about What is really going on with Jackson Holly flees to be by his side. He was always the one lifting her up and this was her chance. The narration was FANTASTIC! Loved every word!

It brings hope

Very good book. I just didn't want it to end. When love stands all wows of life, this book will lead on trip of hope.

best of the series

Body Check was definitely the best one of this series. I used my credit because I am a fan of Joe Hempel and he did not disappoint me. I've listened/read from this author before and I will look more from her other books. Although I am not a fan of Elizabeth, she did an excellent job reading her part. I will look from her, too. That said, this is a story about two people who used to be married and found each later to realize that they still have deep feelings toward each other. I loved their journey back to one another. This was fun, warm romance. I highly recommend!
