Reese Blackwood

I’m called America’s sweetheart.

They say I have the voice of an angel.

I almost gave all that up, thanks to a traumatic experience at the start of my career. Instead of letting it define me, I chose to rise above. I showed everyone what a woman on a mission could accomplish, and now I’m living my dream.

After one chance meeting, my entire world changes. Austin is every woman’s fantasy, and he wants me. While the attraction is there for me as well, I don’t need any distractions
right now.

Austin Jones

Focused.

Driven.

I’m the man I am today because I never let the idea of settling down disrupt being the best I can during my hockey career.

But then Reese floats into my life and everything changes, and now all I want to do is pin her against the boards.

They say opposites attract. You can’t get more opposite than Country Music’s hottest female singer and a hockey player from Canada. With competing travel schedules, our instant attraction appears to be doomed from the start. Can it really be love? Or is it just a hot ice-melting fling?

Blurb:

Laura

I believed in the fairytale.

The Happily-Ever-After.

The “till death do us part” fantasy little girls grow up believing in.

Unfortunately for me, my happy ending was divorce, and learning to find myself all over again.

I was done with men and relationships, or so I thought, until a stubborn hockey player was determined to show me what love could really be.

But could I fall for the fairytale a second time, and trust that he would protect my heart?

Mark

From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she was made for me.

She was broken and I was determined to put her back together again.

I was here to prove she could have that fairytale love story after all.  

To show her someone else can protect her heart and love her unconditionally.

Now I just have to convince her that someone is me.

My Thoughts:

Laura Erickson works in the family business. Mark Lee knows how to treat a lady – especially when he wants to get to know her better. He also seems to take her feelings into account. At the start of their story there are lots of conversations going on and some of the scenes don’t leave anything to the imagination – and no I don’t mean that. It’s as if the reader is a third wheel during date night.

One thing that will pull at your heartstrings, and maybe your purse strings as well, is the inclusion of a story that revolves around the Make A Wish Foundation. Now that the beginning of the holiday season is upon us, why not put some money aside to help a worth cause – it just may make you and someone you don’t even know a little happier. But just be careful because there will be a tissue moment within that storyline.

This is a book that’s very romantic and has a big heart. I like that the author used the first person point of view. It gave me some incite into what our main characters were thinking. At no time did I feel that I had to read the first three books before attempting to read Laura and Marks story. But I’m kind of curious as to whether or not Laura appeared at any time within those books – since she seems to be an important part of the Eagle family. I liked how the author treated her Epilogue. It seemed as if Mark was talking directly to the reader but when I got to the end of it I felt a little disappointed – I wanted to know what happened. It means that I will have to be prepared to read book five that will be out this coming Winter.
