Publisher's summary

She was the one thing he couldn't have, but that wouldn't stop him from getting what he wanted.

After a nasty break-up with her ex, moving to Orchid Beach was like a breath of fresh air. Harper landed a brand new job as a sports photographer for a professional hockey team. It was just what she needed to get away from everything she had ever known.

One drunken night at a club had her sneak into another room with a stranger. But that stranger ended up being no one other than Nico Cirone. The star rookie player for the Orchid City Vipers. The same team that she was now working for.

And that made him completely off limits.

Nico Cirone had been at the top of his game, but as a rookie, he couldn't afford to lose his new position. His luck felt like it was stretching thin, and there was only one solution. He needed a new good luck charm. After running into Harper, he knew that he had finally found what he was looking for.

It was an easy arrangement, one they could both benefit from. He would help her forget her ex, and she would help him play the best hockey he'd ever played before.

It was supposed to be simple…

Until it wasn't anymore.

Hockey Romance

Loved Harper and Nico together! Harper has found a job that will help her reach her goals - she'll be one of the team photographers for the Orchid City Vipers. Only she doesn't realize that the guy she almost hooked up with at the club, while trying to forget her ex, is a Vipers player. That means they are off limits but Nico isn't too concerned about the rules. As workplace romances are known to, things become complicated. Enjoyed watching their relationship change and how protective Nico becomes. The audio version was fantastic!

Love a secret relationship!

Nico & Harper are everything I love about a secret/forbidden relationship! The narration was great as well, they really brought it to life for me!

From their meet cute (at least I see it that way haha), to finding out who the other is afterwards, to fighting their feelings, hiding their relationship (no fraternizing policy), & falling HARD for each other!

I love when a man falls first and hard, and Nico was all about Harper from day 1! He was protective, patient, dirty (in the GOOD way), encouraged her dreams, & made Harper want to love again after her toxic & abusive ex.

While I loved their story, there were a couple things I wanted more of or needed answers to: Nico's repercussions (if any) with his coach, & Harper's ex to see her thriving & him punished for the Vegas game (hopefully!!!)

I can't wait for the next installment of Orchid City!

Unfortunately, this story is forgettable.

This book had no redeeming points. I got to a point where I was so bored I skipped every other chapter just to get the story over.
