Publisher Description
Minnesota Glaciers’ starting defenseman Henrik Grenick is good at two things: hockey and sex. He’s got it all—the career, the biceps, the babes. But the steady parade of women through his bedroom just leaves him wanting more, hunting for the next distraction. Until he meets Jacqui, who awakens a hunger he never knew he craved.
Fiercely independent Jacqui Polson has no time for the seductive hockey player demanding her attention. More band geek than bimbo, she’s in an entirely different league, and growing up with four hockey-crazed brothers left her with no interest in that world. But damn, Henrik’s hot. And when it comes to sex, Jacqui knows exactly what she wants.
As their relationship moves beyond games, Henrik needs more—not just of Jacqui’s touch, but of her. Jacqui discovers there's more to Henrik than just the gruff facade. But after a lifetime of fighting their own battles, neither has ever let anyone get so close. As they soon find out, needing someone isn’t a weakness, it’s the only thing that matters…

Penalty for love?
Henrik Grenick meets Jacqui Polson at the music store where she works. They are both immediately attracted to one another. He is having an off night, and was looking to maybe buy a new guitar. Jacqui is so busy with school and work that she has no time for men, anyway.
Henrik talks her into meeting him for lunch and a friendship forms. They have quite a bit in common, mainly music. She has 4 older brothers who love hockey, so even though she does not recognize him, she still understands the demands of the game. After lunch, she takes him to the college practice room and they play together.
They become more than friends quickly. And soon become so much more than that. Jacqui is determined to have him when she wants. The chemistry between them is explosive right from the start. Henrik is angry about this at first. He wants more from her and with her.
Jacqui has secrets that can destroy their relationship. She is not sure she wants to be close to him because of the secrets she carries. Henrik is not sure how to keep her close, when he can feel her drawing away. Can love conquer all?
This story was so moving and sweet. Yet there is a side of HOT also. I love this about the Power Play series. We are reading about strong, alpha type men who love fully. This is book 3 in the series and it is so good!
