Hard Checked (Ice Kings Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 396 ratings

Getting served divorce papers was not how I planned spending New Year’s Day.

I probably shouldn’t have gone to my favorite bar and gotten wasted trying to drown my sorrows.
I definitely shouldn’t have spent the night passed out in the bed of the bartender’s daughter, Gigi.

And the absolute last thing I should have done was let my guard down and start having fun. Now I’m thinking of her all the time… fantasizing about the things I want to do to Gigi.

I’m in the middle of the best hockey season of my life. I need my head in the game and my focus on the playoffs – not playing house with the gorgeous bartender who makes me feel more alive than I have in years.

Finding someone new so soon after a failed marriage isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

But it just might be too late. I’ve been checked hard into the boards, right off my skates, and I’m not only spinning out of control…

I might just be falling in love all over again.

    Hockey player Sebastian Hendrix is devastated when he gets divorce paper because he thought they could work through his problems at the team’s favorite bar. Sebastian deciding that he more comfortable talking to Gigi and being friends healing both their hearts.

    Friends to lover and then to something more for both Sebastian and Gigi.

    Hands down my favorite Stacey Lynn book to date! Sebastian & Gigi captivated me from the first page to the last!

    My heart broke for Sebastian in the beginning of the book. Gigi was exactly what Sebastian needed in his life. She brought him back to life. I loved Sebastian & Gigi’s banter & their chemistry. I just loved how they just fit together.

    I hope there is more to come in this series!

    Sebastian and Madison’s marriage has been falling apart for a while, unfortunately he didn’t see it that way. But you know what they say, “When one door closes another one opens” and lucky for him Gigi is the person in other side of the door because she is perfect for him!

    Sebastian has a kind heart and loved his wife with everything he had for most of his life. When you find out the struggles they were having the past few years you start to understand why she was becoming the person everyone was claiming she was. The issue was no one on the team knew the problems they were having so I have to say they were casting unfair judgement, but lets be honest that's what most people do because no one knows everyone's entire story.

    Anyway fast forward to when Sebastian is delivered divorce papers, to say he was blindsided would be an understatement and my heart broke for him because he truly is a nice guy. and wanted to give his wife everything she desired. Who ever says nice guys finish last ..... well you're wrong because this opened up chance for Gigi who has been crushing on him for about a year.

    Gigi is a fun spirit, she has a good head on her shoulders and a huge heart. She had been traveling around the world when she found out her dad was not feeling well, she jumped on a plane and has been home helping him run his bar, where the Ice Kings hang out, ever since even though he is doing just fine.

    The chemistry between Gigi and Sebastian is great but what I truly liked was that they formed a friendship before they decided to take things further.

    If you enjoy Sports Romances you have to read this book, heck the entire series is worth grabbing. You will fall in love with each of the Ice Kings but I have to say that Sebastian is the one that holds my heart.

    Happy Reading!!!
