Synopsis:
Savannah
I didn’t think I was missing anything. I had my son, a great career, and a home
that I’d made for both of us. One puck over the glass at a hockey game made me
realize I wanted more. The larger-than-life hockey player inserted himself into
our world and I never wanted to let him go.
The thing is, I don’t know if I’m strong enough to keep him.
Porter
My home was on the ice, with a stick in my hand and a puck on my tape. It took
one little boy with a toothless smile and his spitfire mother to change all
that. I wanted them to be my home and I was willing to take all the penalties
necessary to make it happen.
Now I just have to convince her that we can handle it all together.
Melding three lives into one isn’t as easy as it seems, especially with the
traveling, the media, and the insecurities. Savannah and Porter have to decide
whether to use the breakaway to head to the goal or take a seat on the bench.
After all, 425 Madison Avenue is the perfect
place to fall in love.
*Each story is completely standalone.
My Review:
From the moment I picked this one up I was hooked! I fell in love with the characters from page one, and the story itself kept me turning page after page. Porter was an awesome love interest, and he was the perfect match for Savannah and her son Logan. Logan was a great kid, and really didn't cause any problems. I had a feeling something to do with Logan's father would be a problem for Savannah and Porter later on, but in a way, it is what brought the two back together after Savannah pushed him away like I had a feeling she was going to. A thing that I just knew was coming, and it made me so mad when she did it! But, I still loved the story, and get why she did what she did at the time. I hadn't originally signed up to read this one, but decided to when the promotional info started getting sent out. And I'm so glad that I did! This was one I really enjoyed, and I think it's my first book by this author, but I know for sure it will not be my last!
Excerpt
Copyright @ 2019 Kay Gordon
Hamilton was spelled out across the back, right above his number. A grey C was
on the front, right above the left breast, and I knew right away it would fit
me. Also in the bag was a matching jersey, although quite a bit smaller, and I
felt my heart pounding in my chest.
Porter
Hamilton was surprising me at every turn.
Moving
to my feet, I tugged off the sweatshirt I had on and pulled the jersey over my
head. A slight thrill went up my spine at the thought of wearing his name on my
back. I turned to look at my friends and held my arms out.
“How
does it look?”
Holly
gave me a thumb’s up while John nodded his head in approval.
“You’re
a real hockey girlfriend now.”
I
rolled my eyes and took my seat when our food and drinks showed up. I’d just
finished off a hotdog when a slew of skaters hit the ice for warm-ups. The
crowd cheered like crazy and people pushed towards the glass, trying to get the
attention of their favorite players.
My
eyes found number twenty-two almost immediately. He wasn’t wearing a helmet and
his eyes were laser focused on the ice as he took several laps around the net.
I watched his tall, powerful frame as he skated with purpose.
That
man was sexy as hell.
Porter
finally looked up from the ice and glanced over to where we were. A smile hit
his face instantly and he skated until he was standing at the glass in front of
us, tapping on it with his stick. He pulled a glove off one hand and crooked a
finger at me.
I
cleared my throat and stood from my seat. He flicked his fingers again,
indicating I should turn, so I did, allowing him to see his name and number on
my back. When I faced him again, a look a pride had overtaken his features.
He
said something but it was so loud that I couldn’t hear what it was. I shook my
head and gestured to my ear, causing his grin to widen. He pointed to me and
said it again, slower that time, making it easy for me to read his lips.
“You’re
so beautiful.”
My
cheeks immediately blazed and I fought to keep from averting my eyes. “Thank
you.”
Porter
just grinned again and glanced behind me to where John was standing with a look
of boyish excitement on his face. The hockey player jerked his chin at him in
greeting before giving me another grin. He held his hand up in a wave, shoved
the glove back on, and turned to skate back to his team.
“Wow.”
Holly looked at me with wide eyes as I sat back down. “That boy has it bad.”
He
wasn’t the only one.
