Marek's world is on the ice, Nicki's is on the stage. But their worlds collide in one steamy night in Vegas ...

Marek

Playing for the New Jersey Storm I know how to handle the heat – on and off the ice. But nothing compares to Nicki Sullivan. We collided in Vegas: One wild night, no strings and a spark I couldn’t shake. We went our separate ways, but I never stopped thinking about her. When I see she’s involved in an accident that nearly takes her life, I drop everything and drive to New York. She’s broken, shaken… but still the woman who set my world alight. So I bring her home with me — to recover, to breathe… and maybe, to see if that spark between us still burns.

Nicki

After the accident, I can’t face the music — or the world. The last person I expect to show up is Marek — sinfully hot, too good to be real, and suddenly my rescuer. I should push him away. Instead, I let him take me to his apartment, where everything feels dangerously safe. But it’s not just comfort — it’s him. The heat between us is impossible to ignore and being with him feels right. But I can’t hide away forever. Falling for him is a risk because this time the ice beneath us may just crack.

 

One night turns into forever in the latest visit to the New Jersey Storm! I’m torn on my thoughts about this book. I loved Marek, absolutely loved him … his heart, his kindness, his love for his quirky sister, his willingness to do anything Nicki needed to feel whole again. But I didn’t love certain ways that Nikki strung him along, and I most importantly didn’t love the author’s tirade on toxic masculinity in hockey that was woven into the story. I read fiction particularly to get away from the ugliness of life, not to have it preached from one person’s point of view under the guise of a hobby meant to be enjoyment. Whether I agree wholeheartedly or not, this was not the time and place because it’s an entertainment field. It’s not the typical style of this author, whom I have read a lot from and always enjoyed … but it’s enough to make me second guess picking up the next book because I’m not sure what it will be filled with now. Disappointing for sure. Overall, I feel like he put his all into their relationship and she put about 50% and we really needed more time with them once they truly were all in to get a feel for her depth and investment in them after all was said and done.
