Defending - Portland Icehawks #2 - by Jami Davenport (Grady and Aspen)

Defending by Jami Davenport is available now!

Available on All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK
Much to my utter dismay, the Portland Icehawks chose me in the expansion draft, and now my estranged father is my hockey coach. No one on the team knows he's my dad. They think he’s a distant relative I don't get along with. They’re right about that last part. We hate each other. He blames me for the death of my sister, and I blame myself, too. He's unfairly targeted me, and his constant criticism is destroying my confidence and my game.

The only thing I look forward to is my time spent working with the homeless, especially one feisty, attractive female, but neither of us do relationships because those require trust and commitment, and we're too scarred to take the risk.

Can we conquer our demons so I can rescue her from the streets, and she can rescue me from my past?

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was such a wonderful story about two very lost and lonely people who are hurting and who find each other. 

Grady is a new player on the hockey team that is coached by his father. But he has a very complicated relationship with him, so much so that his connection is a big secret. 

Aspen is an amazing artist who is in town and trying to find her mother who went missing. Her mother is the only family she had, and she is willing to do anything to help find her.

Grady and her bond over their missing family members. His sister went missing years ago and he has always blamed himself and believes his father blames him as well. These two form a strong bond and I enjoyed watching them fall for each other and be there for each other through all the ups and downs.

I really loved this story so much. It was a unique story within the hockey world. It does have a little bit of insta love/lust n Grady's side. 

Sidenote: I wanted to find out what happened to Aspen's mom. Hopefully we will find out in another book in the series.
