Publisher Description
Keelie Hayes had one rule: never trust a man who could skate away.
She broke it the moment she watched Cormac Bouchard spend forty minutes on the ice with Andy — a little boy who doesn't warm up to anyone — until Andy laughed for the first time all day.
That's the thing about Cormac. On the ice, he's the Wildcatters' captain — the toughest, most disciplined player on the team. Off it, he's the guy who remembers your coffee order, shows up when he says he will, and has apparently decided that Keelie Hayes is worth every wall she throws at him.
She has good reasons for those walls. Her father built them. Her ex reinforced them. And the fact that Cormac's ex-wife keeps showing up with her silk dresses and pearl necklaces isn't exactly helping. But Cormac has done the work. Paid for his mistakes. And he's not interested in another shot at his past — only at the future Keelie won't let herself want.
Another Shot is a steamy sports romance featuring a found-family you'll want to move in with, a hero who is equal parts captain on the ice and teddy bear off it, and a love story that earns every single tear.

Heartwarming
Another Shot (ARC) by Alexa Padgett: 4 stars
Keelie and Cormac have both been hurt and have a difficult time letting go of the pain, and learning to trust again. Their story is heartwarming as their relationship progresses, but also encompassing roadblocks and doubts along the way.
There’s several notable quotes, but this one is my favorite: I found people who supported me, who loved me enough to give back to me—to want my happiness as much as, and maybe more than, their own.
—PTators
Great read
I loved every page of this story! This hockey romance has tons of feels but still a light hearted touch with some serious angst! A perfect blend to draw you in and clutch at your heart! I love books that feel so real and have such power in the story. I also love the she female lead is an occupational therapist for a school. It’s a job you don’t see much and it lends so much heart to story!
Love this series!
A storyline with engaging characters with emotional baggage they are each trying to deal with.
The emotional connection between Cormac and Keelie is intense, and has some ups and downs as they let down their walls and open up to each other. Leslie’s trust issues, while understandable, almost destroy their relationship before it can really begin.
I loved how close the players and their significant others were, and how excited they were to see Cormac find his special someone. I laughed at Cormac’s friend Maxim and his reaction to Keelie’s scary teacher voice.
I’m interested to see what Alexa has in store for us next with this series.
I received a free ARC from the author and Elle Woods PR; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.
