*`Review Tour: Public Enemy #91 by Kristen Hope Mazzola`*


Gloves are dropped for this grumpy sunshine romance from Kristen Hope Mazzola! Pick up Public Enemy #91 today!




The wait is finally over—Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with a brand-new hockey romance series: Shots on GoalMN Frosthawks.


Alois Müller is professional hockey’s favorite villain.


The Minnesota Frosthawks’ veteran enforcer is known for brutal hits, wicked honesty, and a glare that’s started more headlines than the league will ever admit.


So when a viral scandal threatens the team’s reputation, management gives him one last chance to clean up his image… or hang up his jersey forever.


Enter Beatriz “Bea” Ribeiro.


Brilliant. Unflappable. And the youngest PR strategist the organization has ever hired.


Her first assignment?

Rehabilitate the league’s most notorious troublemaker before he destroys the Frosthawks’ season.

Simple.

Except Alois Müller refuses to be handled.


Managing him means babysitting a six-foot-four walking PR disaster with ice-blue eyes, a temper the league loves to hate… and a talent for getting under Bea’s skin like no one else.


Unfortunately for both of them, the solution to his scandal is worse than the problem.


A fake relationship.


Suddenly Bea is stuck beside the one man who seems determined to drive her insane.

Press conferences.

Charity galas.

Team flights.

And one very convincing series of staged dates.


The rules are simple:

Don’t fight in public.

Don’t break the script.

And absolutely do not start believing the chemistry.


But the more time they spend pretending to be in love, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks neither of them wants to admit are real.


Because beneath Alois’s reputation is a fiercely loyal teammate, a devastating flirt, and a man who looks at Bea like she’s the only person in the room.


Meanwhile Bea is trying to keep her career on track, keep the team’s image intact, and stop her extremely judgmental Selkirk Rex cat from declaring war on the six-foot-four hockey enforcer suddenly invading their lives.


Now the entire league is watching.

Their chemistry is trending.

And the biggest lie they’ve ever told might be turning into the one thing neither of them can walk away from.


Public Enemy #91 was supposed to be a media strategy.

Instead, it might be the most dangerous play of their lives.





Review:
4 Stars
I love a good sports romance and not gonna lie the cover of this one drew my attention. Then the blurb sold me on this one. Alois needs help with reversing the image he has created for himself after the last altercation. In steps newly hired Bea to help handle the situation. I don't know how she found the strength to handle it all, but she learns there is so much more to Alois then his reputation. Being in a forced proximity situation brings out new sides of each other. A lot of growth for these two through out the book. I liked that Alois notices the small things that take Bea by surprise. I loved that Bea has a ornery cat who is not a fan of new people. That creates an interesting development for Alois. One of my favorite parts is the strong united front and bond these two create in an unstable environment at times. A good kick off to a new series!
