He’s got every reason to be cocky . . . until a female cuts him down to size.

I’m Dallas Easton, the best goaltender in the league. I make a damn good living playing hockey, and with women falling at my feet wherever I go, why not enjoy it? I get whatever I want, whenever I want—that is, until I come across the one player who gets the best of me on the ice.

When I try to pummel the dude, all hell breaks loose. Imagine my surprise when the helmet comes off to reveal a woman underneath. And not just any woman, but the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Callie Davis is the complete opposite of the puck bunnies I usually go for, a good girl with sick moves and a selfless streak a mile wide. I need to make amends, but she dodges me at every turn. It doesn’t help that Callie’s brother hates my guts, or that my agent thinks she’s bad for my career.

But I could care less what they think. I can’t let our little run-in on the ice be the end of our story. Because when I set my sights on something, I won’t rest until I score.

BLOCKED is the second book in the Breakaway series about the Charlotte Strikers hockey team.  Each book is a standalone, although all the characters are interconnected.  L. P. Dover is one my favorite authors and I always enjoy everything she writes, especially, her hockey series.

This is a sweet and heartwarming story about Dallas Easton, the goalie for the Strikers. He is a bad boy who enjoys playing hockey, drinking and being with a different woman every night.  However, that all changes when he meets Callie, the sister of one of his teammates. Dallas grew on me as the story progressed.  He has always been the type of guy who doesn’t care about anyone but himself and he has a reputation as a bad boy with a volatile temper.  However, once he meets Callie, everything changes.  He only wants her and he isn’t interested in anyone else.   He has an uphill battle trying to convince Callie and her protective brothers he has changed.

After growing up with three brothers Callie has learned to stand up for herself and she is also a good hockey player.  She loves working as a nurse and is dedicated to her job.  Callie is the first woman who hasn’t fallen at Dallas’ feet.  She makes him work for a chance to be with her. Dallas and Callie work well together and have a lot chemistry.   I enjoyed all the secondary characters and can’t wait to read more books in this series.  I really enjoyed this fast paced, fun story.
