Cross-Checked: Hot Hockey Romance (Standalone Read) (Hot Ice Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 122 ratings

FROM BESTSELLING HOCKEY ROMANCE AUTHOR LILY HARLEM

When a bad-boy hockey player sets his sights on you, it’s gonna get real good!


Okay, I’ll admit it, I have a crazy, lust-infused crush. Brick, the sexy right-winger of the Orlando Vipers, is the star of all my fantasies. Just a glimpse of him has me panting. So when the chance to actually work with this hot hockey player comes along, of course I say yes!

Being a world-class athlete myself, I have a strategic plan to have him all tied up with lust and desperate for me, too. The thing is, plans never go smoothly. Especially when my heart pedals right into the vulnerable game of love again—completely unprotected.

Luckily this sinfully delicious superstar is just as hooked on me, and despite my tactical errors, Brick catches me when I fall, holds me when I cry and pleases me when I need it most. He’s hard on the outside, soft on the inside, and plays one hell of determined game.

    This series is so much lighter than I normally go for. It’s filled with fun, flirty, and interesting characters. Decent plots revolving around the players on one hockey team and lots of steamy scenes.

    I love how this author can bring you into her world, however the inaccuracies in the hockey terminology & (specifically in this book) cycling are almost unforgivable. I would love this author to research the game she has built this story around so that these inaccuracies do not detract from the gorgeous love story

    First of all, I don't like books that are written in first person, and all of Ms. Harlem's books that I have read so far are in first person. I'm trying not to hold that against her. I know it takes certain finesse to pull off a first person narrative, but it takes equal finesse to mix it up a bit too. Having said that, this book satisfied my cravings: Hot hockey guy. 'Nuff said. It was a good book. Sex was hot. Guy was hot. Hot, hot, hot. Very quick read also.

    These two are funny together. They had a couple of moments where I laughed right out loud. She came off a little crazy/possible stalker at first, but she won me over.

    It was good but not as good as the first book, I'm hoping they get better, as I do generally like this author, the characters were cute together however I didn't feel the wow factor, don't be put off I still intend to read more in the series.
