Descripción editorial
He's an instigator on and off the ice...
Derek Flaherty can goad any opponent into throwing down his gloves with a few well-chosen words. Off the ice, he can talk a woman into dropping her inhibitions (and her panties) in seconds. His teammates love him...when they don't want to gag him. From the moment he sees Sophie, Derek discovers what it's like to be struck dumb. For two seconds. Then he does what he does best. He charms his way into her bed. But can he charm his way into her life?
Who's about to take a slapshot to the heart...
Sophie Tsoukalos is well acquainted with chaos. As a waitress in her parents' bar and favorite aunt of her four sisters' kids, she's used to dealing with drunks and toddlers. But she's never met a man like Derek. His panty-dropping smile entices her to let loose and invite him into her bed. She never expected this playboy to want to stay.
But when Derek pushes for more than she's prepared to give, will Sophie give him heart? Or let him slip through her fingers?

Hooray for redheads!
The romance community is sorely lacking in redheaded heros and Derek more than filled the void. I loved Derek’s lively, animated spirit and how he almost always had something to say. I also liked how we got to see Derek’s flaws, including some of the insecurity that resulted from his childhood. I was happy that Derek’s relationship with Sophie wasn’t just built on their physical attraction (although some of those scenes were HOT), but also on their enjoyment of each other’s company. In addition, I thought the author did a great job getting into the minds of hockey players and showing how it felt to play professional hockey while waiting to get called up to the NHL (the big leagues). The author also did a good job melding hockey with romance.
Love this! Don’t have to be opposites to attract!
2 like minded people (who talk a lot!) but don’t drive each other crazy and have amazing chemistry! Sophie and Derek are adorable together!
I do feel like the book is a little out of order- I’d swap chapters 9 and 10.
But I think I’ve read this one (and The Machine) the most out of the entire series.
