Time Out

by Jill Shalvis

[Cocktails and Books]

Mark Diego is a hotshot NHL coach from a small town. Rainey never left their small town and she's never forgotten her ""crush"" on Mark. He takes notice of Rainey, but she's always been off limits as the friend of his younger brother--and he's too busy for a relationship.

When Mark comes home to right some wrongs and help improve his hometown, he can't help but make a move on Rainey. They definitely have chemistry, but is that all that either of them can hope for?

Even though this story is pretty predictable, it was still an enjoyable book. There was a soft-side with the underpriviledged kids that needed help at the community center and Mark's dad who just wants him to return to Santa Rey and settle down. This was balanced by the hot times Mark and Rainey had together. Even reading this at an ice rink couldn't keep you cool! And yes, I too now have a crush on Mark Diego. **sigh**
