He’s trying to keep his position on the team, but everything seems to be working against him. She has one job to do and won’t let anything get in her way. Especially a hockey player.

Pro hockey player Declan Rivera is nicknamed Dice for a reason. His playing is either hot, or cold, just roll the dice. And right now, things aren’t great. He’s on his fourth trade, and once again, his contract is on shaky ground. So he vows to do everything he can to please the Denver Chargers team’s owner, even if it means taking part in the dreaded social media campaign.

Camila Brandon, daughter of the Denver Chargers team owner, is hired to amp up the team’s image and get tickets sold. This is not her first time dealing with a group of pro hockey players and working with them to turn social media into positive exposure for the team. She just has to stick to her rule of never dating a hockey player. Not even a guy like Declan Rivera, who is nothing like she expects, and makes her question her own rule.

 

My Review: 5 Stars

 

I adore this series and I especially loved reading a story about a man and pro athlete who isn't the best. Sometimes Declan, aka Dice, delivers a great game and sometimes he doesn't, but he's got a heart of gold and is a gentleman. I absolutely enjoyed every second was watching him try to win Camila over, because she's tough, no-nonsense, and definitely not about to get entangled with another hockey player.

 

This pack of hockey men really make my heart swoon! They're as tough as nails on the ice, willing to get multiple bumps and bruises for the name of the game, yet they're all so charming off the ice, and Declan is no exception. In fact, he was kind of an enigma. He was almost flippant towards the requests the owner made of the team, but the way he coddled his mom and her pampered cat, Princess, was one of the most endearing things ever! I loved unraveling his personality, one page at a time.

 

Camila has issues of her own and although her walls were built solidly and high, Declan's draw proved to be too much. I was completely captivated by their romantic connections, especially with the flirty banter.

 

An epilogue to tie up all the ends would have been fantastic, but I'm content with what was delivered. Only one book left in the series and I'm trying not to cry.

 

Content: mild romance (kissing); very mild violence, hockey related
