Synopsis:
I might be one of the older players on the Arizona Vengeance, but I like to think that also makes me one of the wisest. Or at least I used to.
Turns out, I’ve been a bit selfish. I’ve been married to hockey and my team for years, which hasn’t left much time for my actual wife, Ella. Now I’m juggling a separation I never wanted, the pressure of being a single dad to our teenage daughter, and the career I sacrificed it all for.
While my game on the ice might be on fire, the game in my personal life is clearly lacking, as evidenced by the fact I just saw my wife on a date with another man. If I have any hope of saving the family I love, I need to re-prioritize, and fast. So it’s time for me to get back to fundamentals, just like I did when I learned how to play hockey. I’ve never backed down from a challenge, and romancing my wife is a challenge I am very much looking forward to.
Time to put on my game face, because I’m in it to win it.

My Thoughts:
Steele wants to go back to the way things used to be. But there are times when you can’t. It’s a goal to have as long as you don’t repeating past mistakes. Ella knows that her life is going to be a little confusing/crazy for a little while.
Our author creates some scenes where things felt so realistic. She’ll make you feel as if you are in the background watching things as they unfold. She’s also very good at showing how different men and women think. Sometimes crazy ideas can form when suggestions are made. But once in a while something good can come out it that will get you thinking - some things are just worth fighting for.
What lengths are you willing to go to in order to right a wrong? Are you willing to meet someone half way? These are questions that also lend to a sense of realism where the characters are concerned. It shows that even though some men have an unconventional profession, that doesn’t mean they can’t be very smart – a little slow maybe but smart all the same.
There are times when I might suggest setting some ambiance as you read. But this is not the year to follow that thought. For this year, it might be better to either use your imagination or watch some hockey on TV.
You may not realize it at the time but the author sets the reader up for the next book in the series. By the time you have that light bulb moment, she’ll have you on tenterhooks until next year. But you can never go wrong in checking out some of her other series.
