Playmaker

In L.P. Dover's Playmaker, the third installment in the Breakaway hockey sports romance series, this romance novel is sexy and hot, on and off the ice that scores on all levels. For Maddox Ledger, he's one of the star players in the Charlotte Strikers hockey team. In his father's eyes, whatever he did was never good enough for him. Three years ago, he met and married someone named Paige on a whirlwind elopement in Las Vegas. No one knew about their secret marriage, not even when Paige left him a day after they were married. Fast forward to the present, they meet again at Dallas Easton's wedding to Maddox's cousin Callie and confronted her about her true identity as Lacey Easton, Dallas's sister. For Lacey, she didn't expect to see Maddox again, since she lost all signs of trust on him, due to the tabloids. Other than finishing her residency in New York City, she had to face the facts and also to tell him. During the hockey season, Maddox and Lacey got to know each other better, when she knew him best when he was down and stayed at the beach. Right there, they began to trust each other and fall in love with each other, when they couldn't stop wanting each other. With a couple of obstacles in the way, they dealt with a lovesick fan, one of  Maddox's teammates wants more than friendship with her, and revealing the truth to Dallas, they came through it all, even when there's a baby on the way to make things better for a new future together.

This was a sexy and steamy hot hockey sports romance novel that would steam up your windows. I do love the hockey theme for this sports romance novel and how it showcased what it was like playing on ice. I did care for both Maddox and Lacey as a couple and also as individuals, since they had been through a lot, even for a bit of a long-distance relationship, to get from here to there. They both have dealt with some issues and obstacles along the way and persevered together. I also do like the dual locations of New York and Charlotte, NC for the gripping red-hot scenic settings. This would make you gasp and hold your breath, fan yourself and swoon with non-stop action, plenty of romance, lots of drama, and a hint of intrigue to sweep you off your feet.

Will you be one to score with the Playmaker tonight?
