Publisher Description
Melody Hanson was born to be a professional dancer and she's so close to achieving it. But when her best friend Miranda leaves their intramural hockey team and the dance team captaincies to Mel, it's an honor. It's also a ton more responsibility right before she's set to graduate with her dream job. She can juggle everything for half a season, right? It might have been possible if Miranda's older brother hadn't taken over coaching their hockey team, reigniting the major crush Melody's had on him for as long as she can remember. They'd always been star-crossed, but now those stars are aligning. Following her heart and her dream had always been the same path. Until now.
Spencer Evans breathes hockey. Assistant coaching for UNLV's Aces has been fulfilling, but the head coach spot is opening up, and it's his. If he can get a little outside experience first. When the Lady Sinners offer him that chance, he can't say no, especially not when his little sister Miranda begs him to save her team. It's not ideal, but along with the experience, it also puts him in daily contact with Melody, the girl he'd spent the better part of his teen years secretly in love with. The more he's with her, the stronger the sparks until a full-out fire blazes between them hot enough to melt the ice. But she's about to graduate and leave Las Vegas—and him—in the dust. Asking her to stay would mean asking her to give up her dream, but he's not about to give up on her.

Spencer Evans, the assistant coach for UNLV Aces, has the opportunity to advance as the head coach. But he’s never had any head coaching experience. Since the seasons have already begun and the teams all have head coaches, he sees his opportunity slipping away. When his little sister learns of his predicament, she offers him the head coaching position of the Lady Sinners—the team that would have him working with Melody. His teen love...
I loved the uniqueness of the storyline! I enjoyed the challenges Spencer encountered while coaching women versus men. The cat and mouse interactions between Melody and Spencer were also great! I loved how the girls’ had Melody’s back and came to her rescue. If you enjoy best friends romance, sacrifices made in the name of love...this is the novel for you! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
Love those Lady Sinners!
Vegas Girl is the second book in the Lady Sinners series (hockey romance books that feature the Lady Sinners dance team as they play intramural hockey). It can be read as a standalone, but in my personal opinion, it would be best to read the series in order.
Vegas Girl feature Melody, who is juggling school and graduation, dancing for her school dance team and working as a Lady Sinner dancer, plus playing intramural hockey. The last thing she has time for is romance, but when Spencer becomes her new hockey coach, she’s reminded of their steamy New Years kiss years ago. And he felt that spark too.
I really enjoyed this book! It was light-hearted and funny. Melody is obviously stretched too thin with her commitments, but through the help of her new (awesome) roommate and Spencer’s affection, she learns to lean on others a bit more throughout the novel. This was a sweet romance read!
Katie writes hockey romances and I’ve enjoyed her novels. This one did not disappoint! Katie had hinted at Melody’s story in the first book, so getting to dive into Melody’s character a bit more was exciting. I love Katie’s take on the female perspective of a dance team and seeing their point of view of the professional hockey world. I recommend this book and excited for the next one!
