And she certainly didn’t deal in sexy hockey players like Connor Smith. He was brass. He was loud. He was funny and charming and…ballsy.
Kailey was about the furthest thing from ballsy someone could find.
Connor didn’t seem to care. From the moment she’d showed up at the rink to help her friend set up a player development program for the Baltimore Breakers, he had led a campaign to win her heart.
The thing was, Kailey didn’t actually want her heart to be won, and the more Connor campaigned, the more she resisted. And…the more she resisted and argued and pushed back, the more she found out that she actually could be ballsy.
And the worst thing about that?
It made Connor campaign even harder.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.
She lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or email her at elisefaberauthor@gmail.com.
This is my first book in this series. I am a fan of the author and have her other series but for some reason I have not read any books in this series until now. It features players who play on a hockey team called the Breakers. It is a stand alone story and it deals with some serious subjects like Dyslexia and Social Anxiety.
In this story we meet Connor who goes by the name of Smitty. He is a player on the hockey team and Kailey is a newer part of the team on the behind the scenes way. She suffers from extreme social anxiety and Smitty is big, loud and he terrifies her.
Smitty is majorly crushing on Kailey from day one. He knows she is his one but she won't give him the time of day because he freaks her out. Meanwhile Smitty suffers from Dyslexia and even as an adult he struggles.
When K and Smitty find out that they both have issues that make them feel inferior and that their families don't get it, well that's when these two start to understand each other. I really loved how they each had each others backs and they were there for each other.
It was a really fascinating story and one I learned some new things about Dyslexia and Anxiety. I adored how Smitty had K's back in relation to her nightmare of a father and I loved how K supported Smitty in relation to his brother.
I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
