The Final Move (Hometown Players, #3)

by Victoria Denault

Hockey legend Devin Garrison thought he blew his shot. But his relationship with Callie Caplan just went into overtime. Sexy, rich, and one of the biggest stars in the NHL, Devin Garrison has always been the one who had it all. That is until his marriage falls apart and he realizes he has to start over. If he's honest, there has only been one woman who ever really excited him-Callie Caplan. They shared a night that was hotter than the late-summer sun, but in an instant-Callie was gone, pretending it never happened. Callie Caplan isn't the wild child people think she is. It's true she's avoided relationships, but only because she's seen how crazy love can be. And her messy, imperfect life is crazy enough without opening her heart to a man-even one as picture perfect as Devin. But when fate brings them back together-just as they need each other most-Devin is determined to convince Callie that what she's feeling is real. And this final play may be their chance at forever . . .

Rating: 3.5 Stars

A solid addition to the Hometown Players series. I really loved the prologue, but then was a little sad when I realized Devin had married someone else. It was a painful up and down journey as Callie came to terms with her issues and mountain of baggage. There were time when I just wanted to slap her, but Devin, I loved him the whole time. Once he saw the possibility of Callie, he went after her with a vengeance.

I understood Callie's issues. I understood that the Garrisons were the only family she knew, and she did not want to risk losing them. I understood that she thought her relationship would turn out the same way her parents' did, but she had plenty of positive examples in her life too. I guess I thought she should have realized that a little sooner.

As with other companion series, I am always happy when past couples play a role, and I think the whole Garrison family was featured at one point and there was a really cool development with one of the couples which added to the fun. AND a fantastic epilogue.
