New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett steams up the ice all over again as the Carolina Cold Fury hockey team’s hottest bad boy gets his first taste of something good.

In a league full of troublemakers, Cold Fury defenseman Roman Sýkora stands out—at least when it comes to negative publicity. When he’s not chilling in the penalty box, the sizzling Czech skate demon is racking up tabloid headlines for his scandalous behavior with the ladies. But now Roman’s feeling the burn from management to clean up his act, or else. Luckily he’s got an enticing distraction: a fun-loving barista who plays the ukulele and brings out a side of Roman he didn’t know he had.

Lexi Robertson came to Raleigh, North Carolina, to finally meet her father, Brian Brannon, and her half sister, Gray, both of whom work in the Cold Fury’s front office. That’s where she first meets sexy, intimidating Roman—who’s really a big softie at heart. As one relationship takes off, another begins: Brian seems to be clicking with Lexi’s boss at the coffee shop. But when the friction between Roman and her new family heats up, Lexi wonders whether she’s a pawn in their game. Feeling hurt and foolish, Lexi’s ready to quit while she’s ahead. Trouble is, Roman’s not ready to quit on her.

So while she gets to know him, there will be a paternity results to wait to see if she is who she says she is.

I enjoyed the book I loved how outgoing she was, she seems to fit in any random situation that came her way. I loved that shes the type of girl who gets what she wants, just like the person who might be her sister. So not only will there be Lexi point of view there will be Roman and the man that could very much be her father (Brian). I really loved getting Brians point of view it was sweet and interesting. Getting to see this older man and how he felt about the dating and paternity and just everything that was around him I just loved. There was just so many characters to love. Then there was the story line which was interesting. The overall story was fantastic, I'm trying so hard right now to keep spoilers out so I'm going to end this book. Just hear me when I say you really should check out this book and the series because I've been following along and they are pretty great.

Whether it’s a clutch goal or a cocktail, nothing beats “top shelf.” In this novel from the bestselling author of the Heller Brothers Hockey series, a fun-loving jock and an ambitious career woman mix business with pleasure.
 
Not only is Jared Rupp one of the stars of the NHL’s Chicago Aces, he’s also the owner of the Sin Bin, the after-hours hot spot where the whole team hangs out. Lately, Jared can’t take his eyes off the woman he’s hired to give the Bin a more modern feel: a sexy, sophisticated consultant who has carved out a niche updating drink menus. She’s as passionate about her career as Jared is about hockey—and yet he can’t help wondering what kind of cocktail she really wants.
 
In her line of work, Sidney Frayne is used to guys hitting on her in bars, but Jared gets her hot enough to burst into flames. When he’s wining and dining her, he’s sophisticated as hell; on the rink, he’s a testosterone-fueled powerhouse. Still, Sidney’s bitter divorce taught her to keep her emotions on ice. With her busy schedule—and Jared’s playboy reputation—she’s not sure she’s ready for a fling. Because if she lets Jared into her bed, she just may have to let him into her heart.

Sidney managed to land a job helping owner of the Sin-Bin Jared after an encounter that she gives her brutally honest opinion. Now shes there to help get things straight for Sin-Bin and bring in more cash. The element that makes things complicated though is that both of them had a spark from the moment they met and can't seem to keep the boundary of work and pleasure.

I found myself hooked to this book from the start. I loved the characters and seeing how they dealt with problems that came their way. I loved seeing Sidney in her element when she hung out with her friends. I enjoyed the banter between the main characters and their steamy scenes were pretty hott and it happens plenty of times throughout the book so if your not into that this isn't the book for you. I loved getting that big of backstory with Sidney and getting to understand some of the things that she reacted to that made her relatable and a really good character. But if you enjoy a great book, with a hockey player romance, with a good story line you'll want to pick up this book.
