As the wild child of the family, Bellani Maxwell isn't interested in settling down. Between a fledgling party crashing business, teaching self-defense at a martial arts studio, and hitting the bar every night, she has her hands full. She doesn't need the added responsibility or commitment of a relationship. Hockey star Cedric Pederson has all the puck bunnies he could ever want, but a chance encounter eighteen months ago leaves him with eyes only for the gorgeous, free-spirited Bella. Too bad she isn't interested in what Cedric has to offer beyond frequent hookups, and he's grown tired of their on-again, off-again non-relationship. He wants to be all-in or all-out. When a brutal attack leaves Bella in need of comfort, protection, and healing, the only person she wants is Cedric. But once she's living in his condo, Bella is confronted with a decision she's been avoiding-can she finally commit to Cedric, or will she let him go one last time? CONTENT WARNING: Contains graphic and potentially disturbing descriptions of an assault.

This is a short, sweet and sexy hockey romance about Cedric, a hockey player with the Seattle Sockeyes. Cedric is surprised when he realizes how much he likes Bella Maxwell and for the first time in his life, he isn’t interested in hooking up with other women. Cedric wants a relationship with Bella, the only problem is, trying to convince her. I liked Cedric and Bella. They have smoking hot chemistry and they can’t keep their hands off of each other. Bella is spunky, spontaneous and full of life but she loses her confidence. Bella learns she can trust Cedric as he helps her deal with some emotional issues. This is another heartwarming hockey story and the seventh book in the Game On in Seattle series and I can’t wait to read more.
