A pro hockey player with a past. A broadway dancer turned ice girl, and the ice that draws them together.
Trane wondered if he would ever be the kind of guy who settled down and had a family. He had too much in his past, too much to deal with in his present to have hope that his future would be anything other than many years as one of the best goalies in the NHL. Until he meets the new ice girl.

Former dancer on Broadway, Janae, can't seem to get a job anywhere but as an ice girl for the Detroit Comets. Her plan? To make her mark in Detroit so she can get back to Broadway as soon as possible. Things are going well. Her new dance routines for the team become an industry sensation. She predicts she'll be back in New York within the year. But then she goes out with Trane Jones. And suddenly everything she thought was important might not be.
My Review: 4 Stars
I have absolutely loved this series and I'm sad to see the stories of this ragtag group of hockey pros come to an end. Trane, aka Diesel, is big and intimidating, but he has his own demons he faces and he's such an incredible man. An instant attraction forms between him and the new ice girl, Janae, and I loved watching her soften him up and wrap herself up in his protection.
In this series finale, my mind was vividly captured as I pictured not only the novel ice dancing that Janae created, but also the whirlwind romance that slid out of control, catching these characters off guard. I loved seeing the boys come together for a special event and the way they supported each other in a familial way.
This was a fun wrap up to the series and I loved learning more about these amazing men and the sport. I can't wait to see which sports series will be written next.
Content: mild romance; mild hockey violence
