Hit ’em Hard by Kat Mizera (Jensen and Bailey)

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Phantoms are back with a vengeance… and the City of Angels will never be the same.

JENSEN:

Chasing my pro hockey dreams in the City of Angels has been a relentless battle. Each season feels like starting over, and being miles away from my family only adds to the struggle. I don’t know what I would do without my online gaming friends. Especially @Empress.

I know nothing about her—not even her real name—but what I do know with certainty is that our chats are my lifeline. I wish she would let me in, but she guards her secrets even more closely than I do.

A chance encounter puts us in the same room together, and the attraction IRL is next level. But before I can make my play, she disappears. I'm desperate to find her again and my meddling, matchmaking mother shows up just in time to help. Can I convince her that I'll be there no matter what she's hiding? Or will we both get hit hard in this real life game of love?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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...

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

This is standalone book within Kat Mizera's LA Phantom book series. It's sort of a prequel because the events that happen in this book occur before the first book in the Phantom series. But it is a great intro into characters that appear in that series. 

In this book we are introduced to Jensen Bang and his mom Stella. She has just lost her best friend and so she decides to be a matchmaking mom. In this story it is Jensen's turn and so comes to Los Angeles and stays with him awhile while checking out his friends and life.

Jensen is a hockey player for the worst team in the league. But he is sort of stuck there because he makes too much to be traded and the management is pretty awful at the moment. The best part of the day is when he plays this digital online game with his gang of friends and one in particular.

Bailey has had a very bad three years. She is just trying to survive and do some writing. She is a person who is hiding from the world. The high point of her day is when she plays video games online with her friends. 

Fate is a very weird thing and well it brings B and J together, especially with a little help from Stella. This was a wonderful story. I really enjoyed it. I don't want to say too much and give away any spoilers.

I loved the message in this story about facing your past and to be brave and let down your walls and let people in. It's about learning to trust, love, family and true friendship.
