Description

Stone Townsend is the center for the pro-hockey team in Charleston. There are just a few things he’s concerned with: bringing his large family together again, leading his new team to a championship, and doing a lot of scoring–on and off the ice. Which is why it was the worst time to get an injury under new team management and a new coach.
 
Natalie Novak owns a new sports academy that trains and rehabilitates athletes. She’s also a former prima ballerina and daughter of Charleston’s new hockey coach, though no one knows it. But there was a lot more going on behind her pretty costumes and flawless leaps, including being thrown into the spy world when she was dancing in London. She thought it would be simple enough to leap back out, but her past is about to find her.
 
All Stone cared about was getting back into skating shape for the tournament. But when the paradox of Natalie gets his attention, he realizes there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye–including someone who wants to kill her. With his heart and career in Natalie’s hands, he vows to protect her with his life.

    Wow that was exciting, stone andNatalie were perfect for each other from the start. Stone was a professional hockey player for the Charleston Pirates. He moved Shadow Landing to be closer to his family. His sister Olivia moved there so he and his brothers followed. Natalie was a ballerina, she was being extorted and needed to move her father out of Russia to be safe. Her father was a NHL coach getting him to US was safe. So she thought. People were after Natalie and her life and the people around her were in danger too. Suspenseful and exciting read.

    I rarely give a full 5 stars in review, but Ms Brooks has done it again in this new book. I’m hooked for sure on her books. Loved this one with Stone and Natalie. Hilarious, drama and lots of intrigue. Most of my favorite characters made appearances too. Excellent as always.
  • Enjoyable

    I always enjoy Kathleen’s book, but I felt this one was a little too predictable. It was too easy to predict the first villain. I would like for the next book to have a little more of a plot twist that you don’t see coming.
  • Score for the win!

    What a great start to a new series!! Although a new spin off series, it was great to see the crossover from others as well. I can’t wait for the next!
