Tropes:

🏒 enemies to lovers

🏒 single dad

🏒 reverse age gap

🏒 forced proximity

🏒 female GM x hockey captain

Blurb:

Some people might call it a grudge, but in reality, hating Alessandra Jones is more like an obsession.

AJ is the league’s first female general manager, and my boss. As the team captain, I have to play nice with her—in public, at least.

But in private, the gloves come off. And then one time, our clothes do too.

We vow it won’t happen again.

Not only can we not stand each other, but we’re in tense negotiations over my contract right now, and AJ is up for the league’s GM of the Year award. Getting involved wouldn’t just be a PR nightmare—it would be unethical.

It doesn’t help that we have a history, or that she and my daughter adore each other. When AJ is injured protecting my baby, there’s no choice but to move her into my place.

Taking care of someone I hate shouldn’t feel so right. Getting to know her better shouldn’t break down my defenses. She’s hurt me once before, and I’d be a fool to trust her again.

But the more time we spend together, the more I realize that maybe I’m not obsessed with hating her . . . maybe I’m just obsessed with her.

Review:

4 Stars

This is the third book in the series. This one had me at single dad hockey player. I also loved that the GM of the Rebels is a woman and let me tell you AJ kills it! I'm not gonna lie this one took me a bit to get into, but man once I was into it I couldn't put it down. AJ and Ronan have history from St. Louis and they have enemies to lovers vibes to the core. Then soon different layers of each other are seen that's when the lovers part comes into play. There is more to these two then meets the eye and getting the back story helped me out so much. I was easily rooting for these two. Ronan in dad mode is so swoony. How AJ easily creates a bond with little Abby melts this grumpy hockey hero's heart. Things are definitely dicey because she is the GM and he is a hockey player on the team, but you can't deny what they have is worth fighting for. This delivers on all the feels, but also the steam. The chemistry between AJ and Ronan is off the charts hot. That man makes dirty talking into an art form. I would say this book is definitely worth a read!
