She's turned demanding to speak to the manager into an art form.
But this pint-sized spitfire doesn’t look anything like a Karen.
During my teammate Cole's wild bachelor party, a sassy blonde puts an unwelcome damper on our raunchy fun.
After just one look... I don't even know what hit me.
She storms into my reckless playboy world with her platinum blonde hair, pouty lips and curves for days.
For the first time since I was drafted, I tee it up, take a swing, and -
Big. Fat. Miss.
** cue screeching tires here **
Bristol McKay delights in heating my heart to smoldering and then leaving it in pieces.
Then again, maybe she has a darn good excuse underneath all that bristling beauty and bluster.
The reason why she's spent her whole life honing her hatred of hockey players.
I'm going to melt the frost from her wicked tongue, while relishing every single second of it.
And she'll love it too. *****
THE ZONE is a full-length emotional ice hockey romance novel from USA Today Bestselling Author, Colleen Charles, about two enemies coming together to heal each other. It's the fourth book in the sizzling Rochester Riot series but can be read as a standalone. You don't have to love or even understand sports to enjoy this series!

This my first time reading the author and I have to say the foreword before the book began really hit me hard. Kudos to the author for writing about a subject that is so important in her life and sharing it with the characters she created.
I have never read this author or this series before. I believe it is #4 in the series and some romances can stand alone and catches you all up, this one refers to scenes I had not read before because they happened in other books so at certain points I was a bit lost when it refers to events that had happened in other books.
That said I enjoyed meeting and getting to know Ealon and Bristol. Bristol hates all hockey players, She thinks there are one or two good ones but the rest are jerks and not worth her time. Ealon, she thinks is the worst of them and she even saw him naked (in a previous book I have not read.)
This is a hot story, there are MANY hot times in this story between Bristol and Ealon. But this book is also a romance and heavy on the romance. I adored how in with Bristol, Ealon was and I adored all the special dates he arranged just for her. As to Bristol, she is afraid of commitment and love because at a young age she lost her father and not thru death but thru abandonement in the worst way.
Ealon also lost a father but his was thru alcohol and eventually death and he dealt with it by creating a foundation and helping single moms and their kids. The difference between the two is that he is not bitter and Bristol is. Can Ealon heal her broken heart? Can she move ahead and find forgiveness? and love? Well you have to read this stry to find out.
This was a fast paced story and enjoyed the authors writing and characters. I have plans to read the series from the beginning because I enjoyed getting to know the supporting characters in this series.
The only thing I did not enjoy reading was how some of the guys talked about Bristol and using the B word and some of the words they used to discuss her. I felt it showed a lack of respect for women and I was slightly offended on her behalf. I will say that I enjoyed how Ealon defended her when the guys called her that.
