The Puck Stops Here Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 249 ratings

EZRA
I’ve always put everything I have into hockey and Stella. We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always felt the need to keep her close and safe. I don’t know when it changed into something more or why, but I hid it and denied it because I’ve been afraid of losing what we have.

Winning the championship last year should have made me feel fulfilled, but something is missing, and I know what it is. I want Stella by my side and in my arms as more than a friend. How can I be a beast on the ice and a coward when it comes to my girl?

When I see a player from another team hitting on Stella, all bets are off. The puck stops here. It’s a good thing I’m used to stopping the other team from scoring on the ice because I’m going to need those skills. He might be a good guy, but Stella is mine. It’s time to show her just how much she means to me.

STELLA
I think it’s time to move on, everyone else around me is finding love and working toward their future. Then there’s me who is holding onto hope for something I don’t think will ever happen. It’s time to put down the crush I’ve had on my best friend, the one guy who has always been in my corner.

I’ll always be Ezra’s biggest fan and the president of his fan club. I’ll always be his friend, but I can’t wait for him to wake up and look at me like I’m his whole world. I can ignore how much I’m attracted to him and the things which make it feel like we’re in our own little world and meant to be together. Right?

Just when I’m ready to put myself out there, why does he come out of nowhere and ruin it? Is it a game to him or is it something more? Am I even willing to find out?

**18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Sullivan Protection Series. Meet Ezra in The Way Her SEAL Cares (Real Hot SEAL Series). Stella and Ezra appear in Never Going to Care (Sullivan Protection Book 1).**

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ember Davis loves alpha heroes with a range of emotions, but a strong sense of how to take care of their women. She loves her heroines from all walks of life, just like her heroes, and she wants them to be real and relatable. Her heroines tend to be sassy, opinionated and smart.

Ember is a stay at home mom of two who recently refound her love of books and all things romance and is so glad that she did. She’s always been creative, but writing and creating stories that she would love to read satisfies the dreams she had as a little girl. She loves butterflies, the color purple and enjoying time with her family.

Pssst…it’s totally a pen name, but everything above is 100% true.

    I really like the way Stella and Ezra are together. I like the family feel, from Ezra's teammate and from the way Celeste and Hale and Piper and Landon are a part of the story. I like the slow burn and I love the sibling's best friend storyline. I like that they each live in their heads so much and so long and that they finally get out of that and decide to go for it. This story is nicely written, quick and sweet and spicy. I can't wait for more, maybe from their opposing team.

    This was an amazing, short romance story. Ezra and Stella (yes they've made appearances before in the authors book) have been in love with each other forever, both being to scared to act on their feelings. Wow, once they do, it's an all in. Seriously, this was another great story by this author and you need to read it.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this story. A story of people who put each other in the friend zone just so they could still be with each other and then not knowing how to move forward. But thank goodness for an alpha male and getting his head out of his ass. Hot, sexy, fulfilling story.
