My past has come back to haunt me.
I’m the oldest player and the captain of a minor league hockey team. My aspirations of playing in the big-time are fading, and I’m facing an uncertain future. My teammates decide to have a little fun at my expense and sign me up for a dating site. My first and last date happens to be with my old nemesis, Emory, who still blames me for ruining her chances as a hockey player. Not a fun time I’d wish on anyone.
Imagine my surprise when the team’s social media admin retires suddenly for personal issues, and Emory arrives as his replacement. We’re butting heads at every turn much to the amusement of my teammates. The night of the Lynx holiday party, we’re assigned to the same cabin as the result of an alleged administrative mistake, and there’s no other room at the inn. If that isn’t bad enough, a wet, furry bear of a dog adopts us, a blizzard hits, and we’re not going anywhere soon. Emory and I might greatly dislike each other, but we’re also in denial regarding our mutual attraction. I don’t see how this will end well for either of us, but it’s Christmas. Perhaps the magic of the season and a large stray dog might make the impossible possible.
All Pets & Pucks novels are heartwarming, closed-door Hockey Romances. They'll make you laugh, cry, and turn the pages followed by a smile at the end and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
Davenport is showing her sweet side with the first book in her Pets and Pucks series! While we are mostly familiar with hot and steamy from Davenport’s hockey players, she is changing it up a little and bringing a sweet/clean romance without the heat this time around for the Spokane Lynx hockey franchise. I enjoyed the set up a lot, but felt like there was a lot left on the table this time around. Their families other than his father weren’t developed hardly at all and it felt like an abrupt ending with little resolution and no true relationship development. I liked them and thought the book was cute, but I wanted more for it to truly wow me. Easy to like characters, drama and humor to pave the way and a happy for now type of ending.
