It was now or never for hockey star Donovan Legori. He’d been keeping his head down and his skates on the ice since his painful divorce. Getting traded was the only thing that mattered. Tired of playing back-up— he was ready for a team that would make him a starting goalie. What he wasn’t ready for was falling for his teammate’s spunky sister.
Fiery redhead Tara Laassonen needed a fresh start and a one-way ticket out of Finland. Moving to be near her professional hockey player brother in Anchorage seemed like the perfect escape, especially when his tall, dark and handsome teammate made her forget all about her disastrous break up back home.
Just as things were heating up, Tara found both her heart and her visa on thin ice. And Donovan discovered that a marriage of convenience was anything but easy, especially when forced to choose: Hockey or Tara.
ABOUT THE BOOK
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...
This is a new book in the series and features Tara who is Miika's sister. It is book 7 in the series but easily stands alone as they both are relatively new to the series.
Tara has known Donavan for two years. He is just out of a bad marriage to his ex, Jane who refused to move to Alaska. Tara is also out of a bad relationship back in Finland where her ex hooked up with her brothers ex and she has come to Alaska to spend time with her brother, Miika and his new wife, Charli.
Donavan and Tara feel a strong connection to each other and begin to date but she is not sure how long she will be around as she is waiting for a work Visa to come through. She tells him she might have to marry his teammate, Logan if worst comes to worst and thats when he suggests they get hitched.
And so they have a secret marriage but a real relationship and with all the holidays I loved watching both their families get involved. They are really so much fun. Both are happy characters who enjoy fun and adventure and hockey. I really loved watching them get close together and have a real relationship as they supported each other.
If you want a fun and light read and enjoy sports and hockey romances then this is an awesome one. You don't just get men's hockey with this book you also get some women's hockey as Tara also plays on the college hockey team for fun.
