Shenanigans by Sarina Bowen - A Bruisers Novel

 


ABOUT THE BOOK

What I meant to do in Vegas: Let my hair down for once and celebrate winning a medal at my first women’s hockey all-stars competition.

What I actually did: Got senior prom drunk and woke up married to Brooklyn’s star winger, the great Neil Drake. 

He’s the heir to a billion dollars, and I barely survived my childhood. Our friendship is based strictly only on hockey, takeout food, and smack talk. 

And now holy matrimony. Although we both know it can’t last, especially once his evil family gets wind of our Vegas shenanigans… 

Contains: Meddling teammates, meddling parents, ugly jewelry, and a pretend-kiss that nearly sets the world on fire.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sarina Bowen is the award-winning author of more than thirty contemporary novels. She has hit the USA Today bestseller's list sixteen times and counting. Formerly a derivatives trader on Wall Street, Sarina holds a BA in economics from Yale University.

Sarina is a New Englander whose Vermont ancestors cut timber and farmed the north country since the 1760s. Sarina is grateful for the invention of indoor plumbing and wi-fi during the intervening 250 years. She lives with her family on a few wooded acres in New Hampshire.

Sarina's books are published in a dozen languages on four continents.


This is Neil and Charli's story. We were introduced to them in the previous book, Bombshell. Charli is 24 and a strong and independent red haired woman hockey player on the new women's team who is one tough cookie, and, in this story, we learn more about her past and where she comes from.

Neil on the other hand is a rich boy who plays for the Bruisers and has had a major crush on Charli since day one, but she told him she had no interest in any hockey playing man. That is until one day he wakes up in bed with Charli in Vegas and they find out they got married the night before.

I loved Neil so much he is the hero and the guy who is always there for Charli even as she tries to deny that she needs anything from him. She is the girl and woman that no one ever wanted and all she wants is to be loved and number 1 in someone's life. But her attitude is also why people stay away and so she doesn't realize what she has in Neil and in the other women players on her team until near the end of the story. At times she frustrated me a little because she is always fighting and I just wanted her to open her eyes and see how amazing she is and that she had people in her corner.

Neil is a guy with friends and teammates but his family has never accepted him as he is. His love of hockey and his diabetes have kept him at a distance. That is until he meets Charli and he wants to be close to her but she fights him hard. I loved that Charli has his back as well and at times she saves him just as much as he saves her.

This is the second book in the Brooklyn Bombshells series and while it stands alone, I suggest you read Bombshell before this book. It gives you a better understanding about who the Bombshell team is and all the new characters, I am absolutely loving the Bombshell babes and cannot wait to see who is next. 


I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
