Sin Bin: An Enemies to Lovers Hockey Romance (Blades Hockey Book 2) Kindle Edition
As hockey’s toughest enforcer, I’ve spent my entire career dropping gloves and racking up minutes in the sin bin.
But nothing has ever sent me to the penalty box faster than one reckless, hot as hell night with my publicist.
Sleeping with Zoe Mackenzie didn’t just decimate our professional relationship, it shattered us, too.
Now I’m living in a new city, playing for a new team, and staring down the barrel of the Blades’ final ultimatum:
Fix my bad boy reputation or kiss my stick goodbye.
Then I walk into my new PR firm and see her sitting behind the desk.
The one woman who hates my guts.
The same woman I’ve spent the last year unable to forget.
And now she has the power to get me benched for good.
Zoe:
F*ck my life.
SIN BIN is a second chance/enemies-to-lovers romance. It's the second book in the Blades Hockey series but can be read as a standalone. If you like your book boyfriends hot as puck, then Sin Bin will definitely be your jam.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI started the Blades series because this book was so recommended. It exceeded my expectations. The MCs were perfect and the plot was actually new to me, not your same ol hockey romance. I laughed. I smiled. I was angry at time. I cried. I cried a lot. And I swooned. This book was so good!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSo glad I discovered this author and series. The stories have a fresh, fun feel while still being well written with likable characters and a great pace. I love that the stories develop well and move quickly, I look forward to reading each day.
So far in the series, I love that the male characters are loving and seem to be what women want in the end. You can see the character turning into the ideal book boyfriend and I’m here for it. It’s refreshing although maybe not as realistic, since it’s not high drama, but I like it. I’m all about the HEA endings and this author does not disappoint. Sometimes you just need a fun lighthearted read and this series has delivered for me so far.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseDisapointing third act conflict that was solved to easily. Wished for more, was more like a fourth act conflict. Was okay
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017Format: KindleVerified PurchaseZoe has just thirty days to whip the irascible bad boy of hockey’s reputation back into shape or kiss her career in public relations goodbye. It doesn’t help that Andre spends more time in the penalty box than out, both on and off the ice. It also doesn’t help that their one intimate night a year ago went viral and Andre promptly dropped off the face of the earth as far as Zoe was concerned.
With her trademark wry witticism, Ms. Luis brings us the next book in the Blades Hockey series of standalone romantic comedies, fraught with tension, bickering, conflict, and oh so delicious anticipation, because you sense, you feel, you know that when Andre and Zoe finally get together it will be absolutely, out-of-this-world amazing! Although, in all honesty, I really couldn’t see quite how the author would be able to pull it off. Andre’s heart seems as cold as the ice he skates on and has a wall around his heart as thick and tall as the Great Wall of China, and Zoe is still trying to recover from her one, undiscreet indiscretion and salvage her career. It seems like secrets are too huge, too much time has passed and too much is at stake, but of course, Andre and Zoe finally get their ever after. Their path certainly isn’t without challenges and includes some much needed disclosure, vulnerability, steamy interplay and comic relief which makes their story that much more worth reading.
The funniest line in the book is when Zoe says to Andre, regarding one of his rugged, macho teammates, “Andre, pretend that Marshall is a woman you’re hitting on.” The entire scene is gut-busting hilarious and garnered my barks of laughter several funny looks from others at the pharmacy. It may just be the funniest rom-com scene ever. If for no other reason, read this book just for that scene! Aside from that you’ll find complex, rich, vivid, loveable characters, and a terrific storyline that hooks you from the start and reels you in. Add in a chance to catch up with Charlie and Duke from “Power Play” and other spectacular secondary characters, and it’s another exceptional book by this author that you’ll definitely want to read!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis story was about Andre and Zoe. Zoe used to be Andre’s old PR manager, turned best friend, turned lover until he found out some awful news and went spiraling. Now after their sex tape got leaked he left her to deal with it alone and they didn’t speak again. Now it’s a year later and Zoe has moved and is looking for a job that puts her on a probationary period and guess who they give her as a client? That’s right. Andre. They try to resist each other but they’ve always loved one another. I enjoyed this story. The only complaint i have is the book is short and it took an awfully long time for them to get together. Like 75% of the way through the book so it made their love story seem super rushed. The book either needed to be longer or she needed to hurry up the beginning. Overall a decent book, spice was good
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAndre is an enforcer for the Boston Blades and is a force to be reckoned with on and off the ice. Zoe was his friend and publicist until the night that they spent together a year ago went viral and damaged both their careers.
Zoe has relocated to Boston and her search for a new job continues. When Golden Lights Media gives her 30 days to turn their client around she jumps at the opportunity as she knows this will be her last chance however the last thing she expected was that her new client would be Andre.
They haven’t spoken to each other since that night and now they must work together or both their careers are done. They disagree about a lot of thing but they both agree it must be business only, right?
I love the characters that this author creates as they are strong and roll with the punches that life doles out and two things you can count on in her books are red hot chemistry and off the charts banter. A great addition to the series and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAudio review
Andre and Zoe are destined to be together. They hadn’t seen each other in 2 years after their shenanigans in the laundry room that was recorded and leaked. Zoe moves to Boston and gets a trial run to work for a new PR company and she is only getting 1 client for 1 month. Of course it would be with hockey’s bad boy that she thought she would never see again. Fate obviously had other plans. This book didn’t keep my attention as much as the first one, but I still very much enjoyed the story and can’t wait to continue the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for Sin Bin by Maria Luis
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAnother great read for an amazing series of hot alpha hockey players and their strong and sassy significant others. Love that Andre and Zoe fought back to each other. They truly loved each other. Extremely hot sexy times. Can't wait for the next installment of Blades Hockey.

5.0 out of 5 stars One not to miss
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSin Bin is the second “novella” in the Blades Hockey series – and is just as hilarious as was the first. It comes with a “laugh out loud in public” warning – and I for one did so upon a number of occasions.
Zoe and Andre’s past relationship – both professional and personal – foundered as a result of one single bad choice, the security footage of which ended up going viral – and badly damaged both of their careers.
Jump ahead and almost a year later with no contact since that day, both of them have relocated to Boston. Andre is now the enforcer for the Boston Blades and Zoe is working in her family’s restaurant whilst searching for work in her field of Public Relations – and finding that the scandal has followed her across the country.
Finally, Zoe has a chance at a job - only to find that it is conditional upon her salvaging Andre’s public image/career with 30 days. No pressure.
Naturally, awkward is the name of the game. But both of them are professionals – they can do this. Right?
At first, knowing that history, it was hard to see just how the author was going to manage to pull off a believable HEA for this couple. It was only as the story unfolded, offering an understanding of the depth of the friendship they had shared before the “laundry room” incident, that it became clear that it just might be possible - if only they can let go of past hurts and be honest with each other.
Overall, a fun read, with all the wry humour, tension, banter and above all else, steamy sex scenes and unforgettable romance, that I have come to expect from Ms Luis.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book – and enjoyed it so much that I pre-ordered it – and so am reviewing it as a verified purchase.

I really love everything that Maria writes, especially her "Blades Series" you will not be disappointed with any of her books. This is a well written book And had a good storyline.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute Enemies to Lovers!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAndre and Zoe have been through it! For a year, she was in PR rep and best friend. All it took was one night to change all of it, for him to leave her to fend off the vultures by herself.
Fast forward a year, where life has made them both miserable and angry. Zoe is finally getting her chance at working at a PR firm again, the catch? She has to reform the Hockey Pro bad boy, none other than Andre. This book was fast paced banter and slow burn off the charts chemistry! These two are impossible not too love and leave you wanting more of their story!
- Damn it, but I’ve missed this between us. The banter, the laughter, the reminder that one glance at Zoe is enough to make my day feel complete.
- MichelleReviewed in Australia on November 28, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars Sin for the win!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was a great read! I loved the banter in this one and the enemies to lovers trope always gets me. Zoe was fierce yet vulnerable and I loved that about her. Andre drove me insane at times and I wanted to make him grow up, but he got there in the end. I can’t wait to see what mischief Hunt gets up to
