Against The Boards (Indianapolis Eagles Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

Reese Blackwood
I’m called America’s sweetheart.
They say I have the voice of an angel.
I almost gave all that up, thanks to a traumatic experience at the start of my career. Instead of letting it define me, I chose to rise above. I showed everyone what a woman on a mission could accomplish, and now I’m living my dream.

After one chance meeting, my entire world changes. Austin is every woman’s fantasy, and he wants me. While the attraction is there for me as well, I don’t need any distractions right now.

Austin Jones
Focused.
Driven.
I’m the man I am today because I never let the idea of settling down disrupt being the best I can during my hockey career.

But then Reese floats into my life and everything changes, and now all I want to do is pin her against the boards.

They say opposites attract. You can’t get more opposite than Country Music’s hottest female singer and a hockey player from Canada. With competing travel schedules, our instant attraction appears to be doomed from the start. Can it really be love? Or is it just a hot ice-melting fling?

    This book was so exciting! A country music star and a hockey player!?! Talk about a power couple! But really, this book was fun, and I think probably one of my favorite sport romances so far this year!

    Reese is a country music singer, in the midst of her first world tour. Her professional star is rising, but she has pushed aside any hopes for a personal relationship. Until she meets Austin, a hockey player with the Indianapolis Eagles. There is an immediate connection, but with her tour schedule, and his game travels, they have very little time to spend together. Not letting that keep them apart, they use technology to get to know one another.

    I love sports romance, hockey in particular, and I've adored all of the Indianapolis Eagles books. This one was just as fabulous, if not more so, as the rest of the series. While there was plenty of time spent with the team, this book was focused more so on how they managed to build a relationship despite distance, lack of time together, and the stress of two very busy careers. Reese and Austin are a sweet couple that tug at the heart strings and are sure to become a favorite of readers!

    Falling in love doesn’t follow any rules and is never easy but sometimes, with just one glance, you know when you have met your soulmate. That is what happened to Reese and Austin; she was a busy country singer and he was a talented hockey player. From the moment they met, their connection was intense and could not be ignored. Reese didn’t have to think twice when Austin asked her out after one of her concerts. He knew immediately that he wanted to spend as much time with her as he could until their busy lives got in the way. They were a hard working couple who were always positive, loved a challenge and never gave up. Over time, even when they were apart, they got to know each other better and their friendship turned into so much more.

    Reese was a survivor who filled his life with joy and he couldn’t picture his life without her. He was confident that he could make her happy despite his dedication to his career. Reese had a hard time trusting people and she desperately wanted to believe that Austin was the one for her. He was sweet, thoughtful, and understanding and in her heart, she hoped they would be together forever.

    Will their long distance separations cause the light to dim on their bright future?

    Samantha Lind has given us another romantic story that gives us hope that love can survive regardless of any obstacles. Reese and Austin had more in common than they even realized and this gave them a strong foundation with which to build a future. Their journey was filled with music, hockey and laughter and I enjoyed reading such a positive and uplifting story.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019
    This is the 5th book in the series but can easily be read as a stand alone. It is a slow burn romance with a great friendship developed before they move ahead with a relationship. I liked Austin and Reese as characters. I enjoyed all the hockey moments as well.

    The book is mostly fluff with a small bit of tension thrown in. It was a quick afternoon read for me and really did not leave me with anything more to say. Run of the mill romance with a sweet HEA.

    My main issues with this author are around her writing style. Much of the book is repetitive conversations and jumps in time and action. "Weeks have gone by.... time flew by"..... filler words with out much action by our characters. This one was better than the first book of the series but it still was just meh... for me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book and all it’s real ness!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2019
    This author loves hockey. She has more details about the game than any writer I’ve come across. I have to admit I love when an author loves what they write about because the real ness come through crystal clear.

    She also delves into the players minds and gives us a look into both rookie and seasoned players minds and how they view things. How they mature in their outlooks. What I really appreciate is she is truthful she doesn’t hurl bull about how players can be. She’s real.
    The language she uses is authentic. It’s the way I imagine actual conversations to go.

    I think this is her best book to date. Her stories are never off the charts unbelievable. However, this time I think she outdid herself. She lets us see into the world of celebrity dating and how hard it is and what it takes to make it work. I will say I fell in love with Austin and Reese.
    They were so normal and not hype about themselves.

    The writing of her romantic moments has become much deeper and much more intense. You can actually feel the intensity. In a world full of romance books that is quite the accomplishment when you don’t take these moments for granted. I’m actually writing this while I’m still reading the book. I don’t want to lose my train of thought.

    The secondary characters in this story are so interesting especially Grandmom. I can literally visualize her in my mind. We all have that relative. Thank god, they make life so interesting.

    She also included real causes that hit us hard today and showed that there are several ways to interpret what is happening around us.

    To say I liked this book would be a disservice to the author. I loved this book. I read this in one sitting. Within this story you get laughs, smiles, romance, love and she brings the heat both on and off the ice.
    This story is a quick read as fast as the ice the players were skating on because you won’t want to put it down. I actually could’ve continued reading about their lives. I didn’t want to see it end. That is the type of book you want to read.
