Synopsis:The Arizona Vengeance is killing it on the ice. But one player can’t seem to keep his eye on the puck—all thanks to the woman he just married to save her life.
My name is Dax Monahan and hockey is my passion. And if you want to succeed in this sport you have to bust your ass 24/7. I’ve never had a hard time focusing on my career, but when my past comes knocking, no amount of training can prepare me for what lies on the other side of the door.
Regan Miles was always like a sister to me. When a shared tragedy brings us face to face after several years, I’m shocked to see just how much she’s changed. Gone is the shy, awkward little girl that always used to chase me and her brother around. Instead, I’m faced with a gorgeous woman who makes it damn hard to concentrate on anything but her.
Turns out, she’s in trouble, and the only way out is to get married.
I surprise myself when I tell her to marry me. Order her, actually. And most shocking of all, she doesn’t even hesitate before saying yes.
So it’s settled. We’re getting hitched and she’s moving to Arizona with me. All platonic, of course.
The catch?
I never knew I’d fall so hard for my best friend’s little sister.

My Thoughts:
Make sure to read the Foreword and Dedication. It gives you a hint into her inspiration and if you haven’t read Legend you may want to start there first. If you haven’t started the series, you’re only three behind – that’s not too bad. It may be an incentive to go back and read since it’s been a few months since Legend’s story came out. Part of his story bleeds into part of this one and that’s another good reason to get his story done first.
Dax Monahan’s someone who cares about family and friends. He makes a statement that has an invisible exclamation point attached. Regan Miles has had a lot to deal with. I applaud any author that creates a character that isn’t perfect or in this case has challenges that most of us wouldn’t understand. I don’t have quite the same circumstances but I can identify with some of her choices. It’s a great way to give the reader a connection to a character – gives the aspect of realism.
Even with everything going on in their lives, you can feel their instant connection. What I loved was watching this man who plays hockey being felled like a tree by a slip of a woman – oh how the mighty have fallen. There’s just enough in the story about the hockey team and its members but not too much that it would overtake the main issues. In past years, when you thought of hockey players it was the fighting and the missing teeth. But our author shows that there’s a human side to those players. She also brings awareness to something that I had never heard of before. It was watching their lives meld that really caught my attention and kept me turning those pages. Anything else was just icing on the cake plus I already added the next two books into my TBR list because I don’t want to miss anything when it comes to the Arizona Vengeance – especially after getting a sneak peek as to who our next main men are. And how can you not want to see what this author is going to have in store for you next when she wrote such a romantic ending.
