ABOUT THE BOOK

I fell in love with a billionaire.
I just didn’t know it.
Jean-Michel Dubois is the owner of the professional hockey team, the Oakland Eagles, and established the world-renowned Oak Ridge Vineyards.
And…he’s fallen for me.
Me. The boring woman who spends her time studying, baking cookies, and nannying for an adorable little girl.
A relationship between us makes no sense—I’ve tried to make him see that.
But he’s a successful businessman for a reason.
He's ruthless and goes after what he wants.
And he’s decided…
That’s me.





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.

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

This is an author I have not read in a long time. I decided to read this book because it seemed to be a bit different and it was the first book in a new series. I would probably call it more of a prequel to the series. Its a transition book from the hockey teams to this winery which is owned by JM.

I enjoyed the story and am really liking this new series. This was a great prequel story. I liked getting the backstory on all the character's I met in this book because I didn't read their stories. And the next book in this series I am totally excited to read.

This story has a HUGE age gap. I liked how this was addressed in this story. Especially as Tiff is a few years older than JM's daughter. I also loved catching up with Stefan and his wife and daughter. I loved how the family had made Tiff their own. I also loved how protective JM was of Tiff. 

The ex wife who was supposed to be dead but wasn't and causes trouble, made this book all the more fun. This was a really fun book and I really loved it a lot.

Playoff - L.A. Phantoms #4 - by Kat Mizera (Rowan and Blake) -


 Playoff by Kat Mizera is available now!


Available on All Platforms

ABOUT THE BOOK 

 Turning thirty shouldn’t be a big deal—unless you’re a minor league hockey player starting to realize the big leagues might never call. It’s a tough pill to swallow.


But then, out of nowhere, I get my shot. The L.A. Phantoms are in the playoffs for the first time in decades, and with their roster decimated by injuries, they call me up.

I’m prepared to warm the bench, but with a solid season behind me, they’re willing to give me some ice time. This is the chance of a lifetime. Until she walks in.

My first love. The one I never forgot.

She’s now the head trainer for the Phantoms, and we haven’t seen each other in years—not since the night I let the best thing to ever happen to me walk away.

I always assumed we’d find our way back to each other someday.

I just didn’t expect that day to be today.

Dating her could risk everything we’ve both worked for.

How are we supposed to choose between the future we’ve dreamed of and the past we never let go of?
 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...

This was a really fun book. It stars Rowan and Blake who are exes who fell in love in high school but broke up. He ended up making lots of mistakes in the ten years they have been apart. Meanwhile she was a huge success and now works for the Phantoms team. 

This story begins with a bang and I am serious, its a big disaster that ends up injuring a bunch of the Phantoms and requiring some players from the minor league team to come up to the majors and play in the playoffs. That is how Blake ends up as a temp player on the team that Rowan works on.

This is a second chance romance within the sports and playoff world. Blake made some bad decisions and needs for his chance to payoff. Rowan has a no fraternizing clause in her contract and so its also very much a forbidden relationship. 

I really enjoyed this story. I love ow we get to see both families, Rowans and Blakes within this book. Its not all support and love but thats what made it a lot of fun. This was a really fast read for me and I really loved the drama in this book.
