Swedish-born hockey player Tore Brekken thought he’d be a bachelor for life. The parties, the women, the lavish vacations— and the Ferrari. He had everything he could ever want, but his extreme lifestyle has been taking a toll. As much as he hated to admit it, he needed to settle down. He just didn’t expect to go from seriously single to daddy material overnight.
Single mom Margot Delgado’s life revolves around her four-year-old daughter Gracie. Tired of being let down, she doesn’t have time to waste dating men she can’t count on. Especially some hotshot hockey player with a playboy reputation as big as his... bank account.
But when the annual Fantasy Night rolls around, Margot decides to let her hair down— and for once she isn’t just someone’s mom, but someone’s wildest fantasy. From the first taste she knows she could get drunk on the way Tore makes her feel, and one night with him will never be enough.
When reality comes crashing down, and things get complicated, will they both be willing to risk it all for a chance to win big?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
USA Today Bestselling and award-winning 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.
A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found 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.
Kat's 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 Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. 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...
In this story we get Tore and Margot's romance. It includes a lot of the other Sidewinders and especially Everly and Ian as Margot and her daughter live with them and Everly is her best friend. This is part of the series and while I have read many books in the series, not every one and I never read Ian so for me Margot was a brand new character. I would say this story easily stands alone as I never felt lost.
The story starts off in a sex club, on what is called fantasy night with Viggio and Jamie at their club. They are close friends with Margot and all I am goin to say about this part of the story is its the sole MMF scene in this book and Margot and Tore both take part in it. It is 15% of the story and ends on Chapter 7. Its a fantasy night and while I am not a fan of threesomes in romances, the fantasy was an integral part of the story as it really opens things up for Margot and Tore and gets her to give him a shot and it gives Tore the courage to go after what he wants.
Tore has had a crush on Margot and loves her daughter for a while and she has a huge crush back but as a single mom she is very hesitant to take a romantic risk on Tore as he is just out of a relationship, he is 24, and he is a bit of a playboy. So she friend zones him and it takes Fantasy Night to give him the courage to ask for a date.
Margot has issues and Tore has issues but they also love her daughter and they have a huge attraction and so they explore that. They both have weaknesses and while they could have broken their relationship instead it brings them closer and I loved that about them.
While I did not love how the book started with the Fantasy Night I felt it was very well written and I loved getting into M and Ts heads. The author did a great job with that scene. The rest of the book was sweet, romantic really fun and I really enjoyed watching Tore, Gracie and Margot fall in love.
