The first novel in a sexy series featuring the hockey players of the Brooklyn Bruisers and the women who win their hearts—from the USA Today bestselling author of the Ivy Years series.
In high school they were the perfect couple—until the day Georgia left Leo in the cold...
Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he’s called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides, first by the team’s coach—who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers’ sexy, icy publicist—his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington.
Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do—and saying hello again isn’t much easier. Georgia is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, but when a press conference microphone catches Leo declaring his feelings for her, things get really personal, really fast....

When I learned about Georgia and Leo's past in The Fifteenth Minute it made my heart ache. They were each other's first everything! and then Georgia was gone. Leo filled the years with meaningless relationships, and then, fate intervened. Leo and Georgia were thrust back into each other's orbits when Leo was finally called up to the pros, and they are given a second chance at their epic love story.
I really love second chance romances, because we get to skip the awkward getting to know you stuff. The MCs already know each other, therefore, the romance can be accelerated to get to the good parts quicker. I had so much hope for these two, because they had been through so much together, and Leo still felt that void, and wondered what happened. I want Georgia to do some explaining, I wanted Leo to get his answers, and I wanted him to get the girl.
You really couldn't ask for a more perfect hero and heroine. Georgia was sweet, understanding, and assertive (when necessary). Leo was honest, doting, giving, and so swoony. I felt like he was all in before Georgia was, and I love when that happens. Additionally, the story was filled out with some fun hockey guys, a great best friend for Georgia, and the wonderful Trevi family.
Overall: It was hot and sweet and made me oh so happy. I am really excited to read more of this series.

The Rookie has my favourite type of moves.
***4.5 Stars***
Do you remember your first love? I remember in Grade 1 a boy was sitting next to me on the floor while the teacher read us a story. This little boy bent forward, kissed my knee, looked up at me and told me he loved me. At the time, I wasn’t ready for love. It also didn’t help that he had a wart on his knee and that was ALL I saw. Scary, that I still remember the first boy who told me he loved me. Scarier still, is that I feel guilty for writing him off because he had a wart on his knee. I blame my shallowness on my youth…
Rookie Move is about first loves, feelings of forever, and being too young to trust what you have when something terrible rocks your world. Georgia is a strong, intelligent and hardworking woman who loves her job. She’s young and has been fortunate enough to be given a job as the PR officer for the Brooklyn Bruisers. At the moment the job is for the interim, but she’s determined to work extra hard to make it permanent. Her first gig does not go to plan. Her Dad is the newly appointed coach and is going off his nut about a trade that happened without his authorisation/input. The young billionaire owner of the Bruisers struck a deal…and that’s it. So, of course, they’re butting heads, and some of the press can overhear their shouting match. Georgia tries to calm the situation down even though she doesn’t know the full story or who the new draftee is. Then she catches a peak, recognises his gait, sees his profile and hears his voice…she knows him.
Leo Trevi has hit the BIG TIME! He can hardly believe that all his hard work is finally paying off. He’s going to be playing hockey for the Brooklyn Bruisers, his first shot at playing in the NHL. Leo is going to bust a gut to get a spot on the team and stay on the team. Unfortunately, it seems that everything that could go wrong does go wrong. He calls out his captain (In the bestest, bestest, bestest way), gets snubbed by his coach and comes face to face with the love of his life.
Rookie Move was one of those books. Happy buzz’s, warm fluttery feeling in my belly and silly grins at the end, prove to me that this book was something special. We take a look back at Georgia and Leo’s lives and see what has led them up to this point. While they were together they were perfectly happy and perfectly in love. Their past had good times but when they came to the end it was at their worst. Now, Georgia realises she has been lonely without even knowing it. Leo sees he has been settling for psycho chick girlfriends who want him for his puck.
It wasn’t just Georgia and Leo that were affected by the end of their relationship. Both their families suffered too. That is why Georgia’s dad was not meeting Leo with open arms.
When they are face to face and within touching distance the overwhelming feelings they had six years ago cannot be denied. They missed each other. Some misunderstandings need to be cleared up and communication needs to be introduced so that the past can be dealt with and everyone can move on.
I really, really enjoyed Rookie Move. I loved the characters, the scenery and the dialogue. Sarina Bowen has given us an epic introduction to this series and I can not wait for more.

Somewhat recently, I've become a fan of Sarina Bowen and I picked up Rookie Move, thanks to the cover and the fact that Sarina Bowen wrote it. I wasn't sure how I was going to like this one with all of the hockey stuff but I LOVED it. I loved Georgia and Leo so frigging much. Leo scored VERY HIGH on the swoon o' meter and I truly could not get enough of him. I'm totally and completely in love with this series and I cannot wait to read more!
