Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers, #1)

by Sarina Bowen

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....

I am just buzzing with all the feels after finishing this one.

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.
