Winning Whitney by Kat Mizera



ABOUT THE BOOK

This time he’s playing for keeps... Determined athlete Jake Carruthers is anxious to start over after a failed marriage to his college sweetheart. As the captain of the Alaska Blizzard, he's finally on the road to a drama-free life and focusing on his first love, hockey.

The last thing he was expecting is for the beautiful blonde from his past to show up in Anchorage, distracting him with memories of what they shared. Headstrong Harvard graduate, Whitney Sommers walked away from her tumultuous life in Texas and never looked back. A plethora of professional opportunities lay before her, but her secret past holds her back. Running into the only man who’s ever made her want more from life wasn’t part of her plan, but she can't forget the way it feels to be lost in his arms.

As Jake struggles to win Whitney’s trust, she teeters on the edge between what has been and what could be. But she’s forgetting one thing: he only plays to win.

About the Author: 


Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast. Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). 

When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach. Kat has been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. 

Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles. As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…

This is book 3 in the series and it was beyond wonderful. It stars Jake/Jack, the hockey team Captain of an Alaskan team and Whitney who is best friends with Jake's friends. Her past is very mysterious but she comes to town to help out her best friend when she has twins.

Jake/Jack met Whitney four years before and they had some great times until he told her he was married. (he was in middle of a divorce). Now four years later the two are friends with the same people and now live in the same small town, so they run into each other a lot. BUT Jack is yes still in middle of a divorce, so that still is an issue for Whitney.

I LOVED Whitney sooooooooo much. Jake is pretty wonderful too even if at times I didn't understand why he still was sympathetic with his ex. His ex does make an appearance but she never comes between Jake and Whitney. What I didn't like about her was more about how she takes up with his best friend. She really was so icky that I hate that she is still around and causing trouble for another character, Sara.

But this book was kinda wonderful until Whitney's secret comes out and well Jake does not do well with secrets and Whitney and him struggle and my heart kinda broke for both of them. I am not spoiling anything, you will have to read this one yourself but it was pretty great. Maybe my top one in this series.
