A budding attraction. A sinister stalker. A plot to tear their lives apart.
Mandy
After an ugly break-up, I moved back home to make a better life for my daughter and myself. I
thought I landed my dream job as an assistant athletic trainer, until I got a glimpse of the eye-
candy I would be working with. The last thing I need is to get mixed up with cocky goalie, Parker
Marshal—even if he is painfully attractive. More than ever, I have to stay focused. My ex has
sauntered back into my life, and where he goes trouble follows. Callie has to be my primary
focus if I hold any hope of keeping her safe from her father’s twisted intentions.Parker
A different puck bunny every night, and no strings attached. That was the life I thought I
wanted... until I met Mandy. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and easily shrugs off my go-to moves
that make other women swoon. I’m willing to fight for her to prove myself, and right now she
needs an ally. Someone is targeting both of us, hellbent on destroying our careers and lives.
Can we stand together against the threatening storm of chaos?
Highly enjoyable characters! With the first book in her Nashville Notes hockey series Sarah Stevens brings us the story of a single mother and the hockey player who brings her all the feels! This is my first book by this author, and I loved the characterization and the plot development … I wasn’t fond of her way of double writing a scene though. It felt like I was reading the same scene twice in the places where she would write a hockey game from Mandy’s point of view and then takes us back to the start of the game in the next chapter for Parker’s point of view. Overall, it was a solid read and I loved the characters to pieces I just would have enjoyed it more with a better flow.
Mandy is a strong, career focused woman who finds herself suddenly doing it all alone when the father of her baby hangs them out to dry. She’s not going to let that stop her from achieving the career goals she’s always dreamed of, she’ll just be moving home and doing it with an even better job than she expected.
Parker is a doll. He’s a player in a big way until Mandy walks into his sights and steals his breath. He is ready to make her his, but she’s not willing to set her career on fire again for another jock!
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a hockey story with drama and intrigue being a major part of the mix. Great characters!
