PASSING THE RED LINE - Chicago Dark Knights #2 - by Jocelyne Soto (Christian and Eliana)

ABOUT THE BOOK

The majority of my life has centered around one thing and one thing only. 

Hockey. 

Being the daughter of a player, I know the ins and outs of the sport. Including the hurt that can come with it. 

I’ve grown to hate it.

That hate runs so deep that when a player steps into my life in a towel, I do everything I can to hate him too. 

After a few summer nights, though, it starts to become impossible. 

Especially as the season starts and we spend more time together when I take the position as lead photographer on his team. 

The same team my dad coaches.

Now I’m back in the hockey world, falling for a grumpy hockey player I should want nothing to do with and dealing with my dad and his apologies. 

Fingers crossed being back in this world doesn’t hurt me anymore than it already has.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Jocelyne Soto

For some reason, I can write about anything, but myself. I find it weird. Maybe its just me lol. This is what it says on the back of each of my books.

Jocelyne Soto is a writer born and raised in California. She started her writing journey in 2015 and in 2019 she published her first book. She is an independent author who loves discovering new authors on Goodreads and Amazon. She comes from a big Mexican family, and with it comes a love for all things family and food.  Jocelyne has a love for her mom’s coffee and writing. In her free time, she can be found reading a romance novel off her iPad or somewhere in the black hole of YouTube.

 

All that is true, but I feel like my website should say more? But how do I say more without revealing everything? Let me try. I have a college degree and it's not in English or in literature, or even in the arts. It’s a BS. I’ve been to six countries, but two really doesn’t count since I only stepped foot in an airport. A dream is to be able to write full time while also traveling to a new place every few weeks or so.

I’m a panster, through and through. I can’t plot. If I have an idea for a book, I will write like a three sentence paragraph and then pick out names. Usually I can see how the book is going to play out in my head and 90 percent it works out that way. The other 10 percent, the story goes on a different course than initially thought but I’m okay with it. I just write, and if it goes the direction I want it to, great. If it doesn’t, also great. I think that’s all I can think of for right now. I’ll try to come up with more. If you would like to get to know me more, check out my social media pages!

Thank you for your support and for reading my books!

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

This is part of a series but very easily stands alone. It is a sports romance with two people who start out as enemies but then have a fling/summer romance that ends up leading to more. In addition, they end up working at the same place and her father is his coach. The while forbidden thing is not really a part of this story. 

It stars Christian who is a really awesome player on the Knights Hockey Team in Chicago. He grew up in Northern California and in the summers, he goes to his beach house and hangs out there. That is where he meets Eliana/Ellie/Lia. She is a photographer who is working the summer in California before starting her new job with the Knights Hockey team. She loves to relax at the beach which is where she meets Christian. When they meet it was definitely an original way to meet. But it also starts their hate ons for each other.

By the time the summer is over they are both are over their hate feelings and become something more and very close friends. They then have to decide how to go on when they end up in Chicago together and work for the same team. Plus, Eliana has very complicated feelings about her dad who is Christian's coach. Plus, an ex-also decides to start trouble.

I really loved this story. I HATED the ex and I absolutely adored Eliana and Christian together and how they end up with this totally awesome friendship/relationship. They have amazing chemistry and some of the sex scenes were extremely hot. I also loved watching the evolution of Eliana's relationship with her father and how they deal with the pain of the past.
