Publisher Description
Single dad and veteran defenseman Matt LaRue lives for his kids and hockey. He's had one failed marriage and doesn't have any interest in going through that hell again. As conservative as they come, he can't comprehend his unexplainable attraction to a free-spirited female who changes hair color more often than his boys create new excuses not to do their homework.
Violet Strider is fleeing her haunted past. She has a new start, new identity, and is hiding a big secret. Matt and Vi are a classic case of opposites attract, but neither expects the attraction to extend beyond a few hot trysts, especially Vi. Only her heart isn't listening, and her head is following her heart down a path of no return.
As Vi grows closer to Matt and his boys, she fears her secret could rip them apart and cause irreparable damage. Relationships are built on trust, and Vi's house of cards is about to take a tumble and destroy their fragile bond.
Can Vi confront her past and finally put it behind her, while earning Matt's forgiveness?
Customer Reviews
I LOVED IT
5 star Review Penalty Play: Seattle Sockeyes Hockey (Game On In Seattle #9) by Jami Davenport
This is book 9 in the series and another winner for Jami Davenport in my humble opinion. This is the story of single dad and star defenceman Matt LaRue and free spirited Violet Strider.
Where do I start? This book had me hooked from the very first page. I absolutely loved Matt and Vi, two complete opposites on the surface but oh how they melded together. Matt is a totally conservative man, with a failed marriage behind him, his only focus is his two young boys and being the best dad that he can to them; Vi is hiding a past full of secrets. Neither of them expect their smoking hot “dates” to lead any further but oh how wrong they are.
From the star of Penalty Play I wanted these two to get together and remain that way, so much so I had everything crossed that Matt would forgive Vi when her world starts crashing down around her, but can Matt trust Vi?
Can they each work through the troubles of their pasts and in doing so find a love that is strong enough to face any test? Can Vi earn back Matt’s trust or is she fated to lose the man and his sons that she has come to love so deeply?
The chemistry between Matt and Violet is scorching and despite being such opposites they really do gel together. This was one of those books that I simply didn’t want to put down.
I love that Ms.Davenport’s characters are not perfect, they are flawed and the situations they find themselves in are easy to relate too, her characters are strong and her stories well written. Although it is book 9 in the series, it can easily be read as a stand alone.
Perfect addition to a great series
Book 9 in the Game On in Seattle Series but as every book in this series is about a different player each can be read as standalones, you would think it’s impossible for each book to be better than the last well not so for Jami Davenport for me Penalty Play is the best book I have read by her, I was hooked from the first page and there was no stopping until I had read the final page. Matt is a straight laced hot hockey player who also happens to be a single dad and his life revolves around his two little boys, Vi is the tattooed free spirit with purple hair but as they say Opposites Attract and that’s excatly what happens here. The chemistry between them is sizzling and what starts off as enemies with benefits turns into so much more, this isn’t just a story it’s a journey and it’s about two people falling in love and learning that the past can’t dictate the future sometimes you need to let it go and open up to others. Matt’s two little boys had some really funny one liners and the antics they got up to make this book just perfect, a beautifully written love story that’s centred around family values, can’t wait for the next in this series.
