I have enjoyed getting to know Ford in the first two Hockey Hottie books, so I have been looking forward to seeing how his story would play out. The set up of Ford’s story was interesting and I appreciated that he was paired with a stronger, professional love interest with Lena.

Ford was a character that I liked in the first two books, but I wasn’t sure how I felt about him as a leading man. The duo behind Piper Rayne did an excellent job of peeling back the layers so that we could see the man behind the playboy persona and understand some of his previous motivations a little better.

Lena is someone that I had respect for from the beginning and I just liked her more as I got to know her. She was a great balance to Ford and they played off each other well.

I also appreciated how Ford and Lena’s story stood well on its own while being a great part of the Hockey Hotties series. We see our main characters evolve emotionally and touch on key issues to both of them. To do this they get help from friends and family, but the secondary cast doesn’t over power things. With the glimpse we saw of what might be coming next for the Florida Fury, I am very curious!

Release Date: September 21

 

Fake.

 

Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering to anyone—except my father.

 

And now, my daughter.

 

Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality.

 

My dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he makes me a deal I can’t refuse.

 

Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask anyone. 

 

My dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever. Of course, I agree.

 

That’s when things get complicated. I thought I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins everything.
