BLURB
Nanny for a professional hockey player? Please. More like beauty for the beast.
The job is straightforward. Single dad Duke York needs a caretaker for his seven-year-old daughter during the hockey season, bonus if that person can help her with her school work. His team is rebuilding, and he plans to retire at the end of the year. This is his last chance to make a run at the cup. Right now, I have the time and the education to do this work.
Except there should be a disclaimer in the job description about Duke. He’s hot as sin, and the grizzled hockey veteran takes brooding to the next level. I need the cash, though, and the job offers housing as part of its compensation. Since I have nowhere to live—again—it’s the perfect situation. But I didn’t expect to find such a fascinating man under Duke’s gruff exterior, and the more I get to know the father and daughter duo, the more I risk losing my heart to them both.
My real life has never included any fairy-tale endings. But maybe this temporary job could be the beginning of all of our happily ever afters…
BEAUTY AND THE BRUISER is a full-length, sexy hockey romance with a happily ever after. If you like Beauty and the Beast vibes, a grumpy cinnamon roll single dad hero, and slow burn chemistry, you should try this first book in the Philadelphia Tyrant Hockey series!
The Philadelphia Tyrant books contain mild adult language and open-door sexual scenes/situations. Every story can be read as a standalone.

AUTHOR BIO
Josie Blake writes college-set, hockey romance with sass and emotion. Originally from a small town in western Pennsylvania, she now battles traffic in southern New Jersey where she lives with her hero husband and their happily-ever-after: two very energetic sons. When she isn’t writing, she can be found next to a hockey rink or swimming pool, cooking up something sweet, or hiding from encroaching dust bunnies with a book.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a wonderful story about a single dad finding love with his nanny. It's really a different story in that Duke and June form a family as she helps his daughter out. By the time they get together she works it out, so she isn't the nanny anymore. So they really fall for each other and get to know each other while she works for him.
Tabby is Duke's daughter and she is seven. She lost her mother when she was an infant. Duke is 29 and a hockey player in his last year and raising his seven year old daughter, Tabby as a single, widowed dad. He needs a nanny and June who is 24, has graduated college and needs a job, so he hires her as his daughter's nanny during the hockey season.
June is a really different character. She is very sunshiney compared to Duke who is more on the grumpier side unless he is hanging out with his daughter. Tabby. Tabby is a shy kid that is struggling in school until June enters her life. I loved how much better June makes Tabby's life.
June is a foster kid and she loves the woman that ended up raising her, Lily. But Lily is very sick and has kidney disease. This is a side plot in the story and it brings up issues with Duke because he lost the woman he loved. This part of the story was so well written that it brought tears to my eyes.
