Alexander “Rush” Markov has been given an ultimatum by his team—shape up or ship out.
Alex is celebrating his biggest season in professional hockey, and he’s enjoying every minute of it—perhaps a little too much. He’s been non-stop partying like a rockstar since his team won it all, and management isn’t pleased. Next thing Alex knows, he’s been exiled to a remote island with orders to lay low, stay out of trouble, and avoid one-night stands.
Rosalind Newcomb is the quintessential good girl, and she’s fine with her role. Sure, she gets lonely and wishes for a special someone, but the choices on Madrona island are slim to none. When a panty-melting mystery man disrupts the peace and quiet in her bookstore, it’s dislike at first sight. The infuriating man turns her ordered life upside down and inside out and has her thinking about hot summer nights and tangled sheets. Only Alex isn’t who she thinks he is, and love isn’t all hearts and roses.
As Alex battles who he pretends to be and who he really is, he also resists falling in love for the first time in his life. His intense feelings have him ready to bolt, and only he can decide if love is worth fighting for.
Alex is a professional hockey player who gets exiled to a quiet town in the hopes that he will stop his wild partying lifestyle. When he first arrives, he hates it. He is keeping secrets from everyone, his teammates especially. He is trying to get rid of the pain of losing his entire family, but the drinking is only a bandaid. When he sees Rosalind, he finds her attractive, but everything he says comes out wrong and she acts like she can't stand him. She even ends up kicking him out of her bookstore a couple of times.
Rosalind is a bookstore owner/author who has a plan and it doesn't include cocky hockey players. Everything he does and says rubs her the wrong way. No matter how many times he asks her to go to dinner, she turns him down. Until, she decides it might be the only way to get him to stop. Unfortunately for her, once she is at dinner with him, not only does she find him attractive, but he also isn't who he seems to be. He is funny, loves to read, and something haunts him.
When he reads her book, she knows it's hers but he doesn't, he gets upset because the hockey parts are all wrong. He agrees to read them and give her pointers (so she can tell her friend). This starts their true relationship, but when you have one person who doesn't want to change (her) and one who is hiding a terrible part of the past (him), is there any way can make a relationship to work?
This was a great read from start to finish. I can't wait to read more from this author. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
