Book Blurb:
He’s a hockey star with a headboard full of notches. She’s a shy NHL concession worker at who’s never been kissed.
Lindy
They don’t call me Belinda Boring for nothing. It’s my name, after all. And for a 23-year-old with plain brown hair who still lives at home and gets tongue tied over nothing, it’s a fitting one. I’m not even one of those quiet girls with a hidden talent, unless making a mean order of nachos at the NHL arena I work at counts. My life consists of working, reading and harboring a secret crush on a hockey player who doesn’t know I exist. At least, until we accidentally meet and become unlikely friends.
Victor
I’m living the dream. A poor kid who worked his way into the NHL, I’ll never forget where I came from, though I try to. My past follows me, a nagging reminder that I’ll never be what everyone thinks I am. As the threat of my secret being exposed looms closer, my game slips, leaving me in danger of being cut from my team--the only family I have. I’m losing my hold on everything when a new friend helps me find hope. She’s nothing like the women I’m used to, but by the time I figure out that’s exactly why she’s right for me, I’ve lost my chance with her. Somehow, I have to convince a woman who thinks she’s invisible that she’s the only one I see.

My Thoughts:
Lindy may have a connection to the reader if you’re a sports fan. Maybe you have a favorite hockey team. What would you do if your favorite player started talking to you? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work at the team’s home venue? The author shows that men who play sports are real once they’re off the ice. They have the same thoughts and wants as everyone else. The author shows that we don’t need to put them up on a pedestal because they’re just as human as we are.
It’s nice to see that the scenes between Lindy and Victor seem so natural. Our author builds their relationship and doesn’t rush our couple into anything. They have a lot going on in their lives before they met. It was also nice to see the connection Lindy had with her father. I can relate since I had one similar with my own dad. Ms. Rothert creates the perfect mix of personal and professional – it’s not all about hockey. Now with the heat getting into the 90’s, I may want to go and try to read in a freezer unit – not. I’m all about setting the mood so instead of a freezer unit maybe I’ll just get myself a cup of ice instead.
There are happy and chuckle moments. And there are even some hold your breath, heart hurt and sad moments. Our author creates plenty of things to make me happy and glad that I read her latest Chicago Blaze book. My sad moment came when the author left me hanging – is there a next book or not. It’s ok if you haven’t read any of the previous books. But I hope that if you like this one that you will go back and check out the ones you’ve missed. I can see having a Chicago Blaze marathon once hockey season starts up again.
