Shootout

After recently being traded to the Seattle Sockeyes, Banks Slater is having a hard time finding his place on the team. For the first time he and his twin brother are not on the same team and he finds it hard to imagine playing against the Portland Icehawks, against his brother.
This was a good addition to the Scoring series and was an entertaining story that ticked a number of boxes for me about Banks and the woman who captured his heart, Olympic Hockey medallist Jessie Wilder.
Jessie is recovering from a bad breakup and is delighted to be a coach for the junior team at the Seattle Sockeyes. Neither are looking for a relationship but sometimes fate plays tricks.
When they embark on a fake romance, neither Banks or Jessie realize the domino effect they have started. Not only is Jessie a coach, but she is also the sister of a teammate so lines should not be crossed, and yet they are. What follows is an entertaining journey that left me with a smile on my face.

Another visit to Seattle and another catch up with the Sockeyes and this time it’s recently traded Banks Slater and twice Olympic Hockey medalist Jessie Wilder’s entertaining journey. Jessie comes from hockey royalty but it’s still tough being a woman in a man’s world so she is excited for new job as coach to one of the junior teams at the Sockeyes. She is also getting over a breakup and she has no plans for a relationship in the future. Banks is struggling to fit in with his teammates because this is the first time he has been traded in his career and the first time he is not playing on the same team as his twin. Struggling to fit in he heads to the rink to get some ice time alone and what he didn’t expect was to find a beauty also searching for some alone time on the ice. What follows is a entertaining fake romance that soon turns into something more. Jessie should be off limits for many reasons, she is a teammates sister and she is just getting over a man that broke her heart but when she concocts a fake relationship to help both her and Banks he can’t refuse her. I loved everything about this book, I fell hard and fast for bad Boy Banks, i adored Jessie but what took this book to another level was watching two people not looking for love realising using love was right in front of them. A wonderful addition to the Seattle Sockeyes; A Scoring Series.
