“Got given an ARC from Net Galley”
Silver Delgado has gained control of The Dartmouth Cobras—and lost control of her life.
Hockey might be the family business, but it’s never interested Silver. Until her father’s health decline thrusts responsibility for the team he owns straight into her hands. Now she has to find a way to get the team more fans, and establish herself as the new owner. Which means standing up to Dean Richter, the general manager and the advisor her father has forced on her. The fact that their ‘business relationship’ started with her over his lap at his BDSM club shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Their hot one nightstand meant nothing! But how can she earn his respect when he sees her as submissive? Can they separate work and the lifestyle she’s curious to explore?
Balancing her new life away from Hollywood, living among people who see her as the selfish Delgado princess, has her feeling lost and alone until Landon Bower, the Cobras new Goalie slips into her life and becomes her best—and only—friend. The time they spend together makes everything else bearable, but before long his eyes meet hers with more than friendship, reflecting what she feels. Which could ruin everything.
Two Dominant men who see past her pretty mask and the shallow image she portrayed to the flashing cameras. A gentle attack from both sides that she can’t hope to block unless she learns how to play.
But she’s getting the hang of the game.
First Sentences
Silver Delgado has abandoned the spotlight – to run a hockey team?
I can’t say I’m surprised. The child model and supporting actress for Take Mr Home started her career in Hollywood followed by rumors of sexy rendezvous with several players from her father’s team, so it’s obvious that she has a taste for stick welding hotties.
My Thoughts
This book hit the ground running right from the beginning. As a person who hasn’t read the first book I was very confused. There were too many different characters and too many things happening in the first couple of chapters that got too confusing and cluttered.
Aside from that I didn’t really like anything about this book. Not the characters, setting, writing or the plot. Actually there wasn’t much of a plot to say either. Silver got on my nerves so much that it just annoyed me while reading from her point of views. And the two guys that circled her were just as annoying. I just didn’t enjoy it at all. So could only just skim read this rather than actual concentrated reading.
