Synopsis:
The Arizona Vengeance are developing a reputation on the ice as one of hockey’s top teams. But one player’s reputation off the ice might just keep him from scoring. . . .
I’m having the time of my life with my new brothers on the Arizona Vengeance. We may be an expansion team, but after notching some big wins, the entire league knows to watch out for Erik Dahlbeck. That’s me.
The only person who doesn’t seem to think I’m so great? Blue Gardner, the hot-as-f*** flight attendant on our team plane. I sure wouldn’t mind joining the mile-high club with her, but besides bringing me lukewarm coffee, she won’t give me the time of day. Whatever I did to rub Blue the wrong way, my teammates think it’s hilarious. After all, we’re used to women flocking to us. #puckbunniesWhen I run into Blue back on land, I’m shocked to learn how she spends her time off: taking care of her handicapped brother. There are layers to this girl I never imagined, layers I can’t wait to peel away. And that’s a new feeling for me.
But first I’ve got to find a way to melt that ice-cold stare. Because as much as I try to pretend I don’t care what Blue thinks of me, how can you not care when you’re falling for someone?
The Arizona Vengeance will continue in 2019! CLICK HERE to see the whole series, including preorder links and the brand spanking new cover for Dax (Book #4).

My Thoughts:
Someone has caught Erik Dalhbeck’s attention. He plays hockey, in case you couldn’t guess, and you may just be surprised who his team plays against – I know I was. Blue Gardner sometimes finds it hard to juggle two things at once. It’s a lot to have on her shoulders. I can understand what she sometimes has to deal with and some of you may as well.
You wouldn’t know it, after first meeting Blue, but she has a very devious mind – loved it! Then it gets even better. I laughed very loudly in my head. Had to do it in my head because I didn’t want to explain since I was in the staff lounge where I work. This author always seems to know what scenes are going to get me to laugh. I know that when I pick up a book of hers, I’m going to have a good time.
But the author doesn’t give me everything at once. She builds both momentum and anticipation. She knows just what to keep my attention focused on our couple while adding just enough to wonder where the series is going to go. Then I’m pulled back to our main characters and the heat they create when they’re together. In the next instant the author creates a scene that tugs at the heart and made me wish I was there so that I could see the character’s faces.
With this book I kept having this feeling that I was being set up for the next book in the series. I was so happy to see that I was actually right for a change. I’m terrible at guessing things so it was a pleasant surprise. The disappointment is that I have to wait until February. Whatever will I do? Maybe I can go back to the other hockey series, Cold Fury.
