Description
Nate
Delaying treatment for my bum knee until the off season isn’t the smartest move, but hey, I’m a big dumb jock. And pro hockey players play, come hell or broken bones.
That stupid knee sends me sprawling in front of the prettiest lady in Central Park. She’s also smart, and kind, and she bonds with my young daughter Quinn over strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Can’t hurt to ask her out for coffee, right?
Carly
There aren’t many options for a laid-off au pair in New York City. I can’t live on couch surfing, ranty blogging, and less ranty freelance articles forever, but I won’t work with kids again. It’s too painful when it ends.
But coffee with a single dad can’t hurt, right? Maybe a second date. Heck, why not make it one steamy night in his bed? But when Nate has to go under the knife, he asks me to help care for his daughter. I don’t want to be a nanny again, but I can’t turn him down. I’ll just have to keep my guard up to protect my heart.
Reviews
Sweet, Emotional & Steamy!
5By AstroyicScoring Big (Bears Hockey ll #3) by Kelly Jamieson. I love hockey romance and was excited to get to read another story in this series. As always I was pulled into this entertaining, sweet, heartwarming and sensual romance that at the center of it is all is about being vulnerable, dealing with anxiety, as well as fears, toxic masculinity, as well as several more issues that are not typically dealt with in sports romance. Leading into interesting in-depth dialogue and discussions between the main characters as well as his teammates. Bringing so much information about these issues to light and educating this reader in the process. This author brought it, capturing my interest and attention until the end. “Life’s an adventure - take the risk.” This is Nate Karmeinski and Carly Corrigan story. Their story is entertaining, fun, flirty, sensuous as well as emotional and heartwarming. I fell hard and fast for Nate and Carly’s relationship, and adored Nate’s daughter Quinn. Their story will have you going through every emotion as you watch and hope that these two get their HEA! I received an early copy and this is my honest review.Loved it!
5By 12tootThis was an easy read with realistic characters. I liked Carly’s take on men with their strengths and insecurities without making anyone defensive but with understanding and acceptance. The same way that she dealt with Quinn (who was a hoot). But, as with any couple, communication can still be a hindrance and assumptions are made. Even though Nate had some insecurities of his own, I liked that he was willing to listen and tried to change his way of automatically thinking the worst. Carly, also, had to come to her realizations on how she dealt with heartbreak and disappointment. The only bad thing about this book was that it ended too soon! Can’t wait to read more of the New York Bears.
