From the onset the chemistry between Harper and Remy was electric, but Harper is trying to fill a position in a man's world and all eyes are upon her. She cannot afford to be distracted, and she needs Remy focused on bringing the team together and winning. I love the back and forth stubbornness between these two and enjoyed the way things heated up. The romance felt genuine and Meader kept the drama to a minimum.
I fell hard for Remy and Harper has Daddy issues. She is very focused on her career but sees her successes and failures as a reflection of her personal worth. She has been hurt by her sisters but also doesn't open up and keeps her emotions checked. As their friendship and relationship develop we see character growth in Harper. I loved seeing her loosen up and enjoy stolen moments of happiness.
Foodie lovers will enjoy all of the Cajun dishes mentioned in this story. My only disappointment was not finding recipes to accompany them. We need a Remy DuPree cookbook. The man was hot in bed and sizzling in the kitchen.
We learned a little about the sisters and I am looking forward to their stories. We also spent time with key hockey players. I will be curious to learn more about this motley crew. A lot of time is spent at the rink, and we get some hockey talk. It was nice seeing that these threads were well researched. Meader also took us to New Orleans and anytime a book does this I smile and long to visit the city again. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
