MY REVIEW:
I read the first book in the Northbrook Hockey Elite series and really enjoyed it (even though I know nothing about hockey!) and I liked getting to know the team. Clint from book 1 (Faceoff) is mentioned as well.
“Powerplay” focuses on Jax and Meg. Meg and Jax seem to hit it off when they are literally thrown together in the first chapter of the book. Jax struggles throughout the book with feeling successful in his hockey career, feeling good enough for his family (specifically his father) and finding the right woman in his life that just doesn’t want his money. Meg is a pretty business woman who is kind and knows what she wants from life. She takes care of her Gramma and spends time with her friends and suddenly finds herself friends with the famous Jax.
I liked how their relationship and friendship grew during the story, and how they both were quick to help others-not thinking of themselves. Interesting plot, great characters, steady pace and funny.
Clean romance but does include some steamy kiss scenes and a couple swear words throughout the book. I can’t wait to read more from this series!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book
He’s ready to quit his pro-hockey career. She’s doing everything to keep her career afloat. And neither of them have time for distractions.
Jax Emerson, legendary forward for the Chicago Flyers, is ready to throw it all away when he uncovers the truth behind his NHL contract. The last thing he needs is more media attention, or his father to get involved in his contract, or a beautiful woman apologizing once again for an accident.
Meg Bailey didn’t think her life could get any worse, until it does. Time is running out before her business is forced to close. When Jax Emerson offers a solution, she knows that by accepting his help, she might be getting in too deep. And deep is not a place her heart is prepared to go.
Welcome to Northbrook Hockey Elite!
Six professional hockey players used to play on an elite club team together, but have all separated and now play in the pro-hockey leagues. Not all of them were friends, yet circumstances bring them together, and for the greater good, maybe they can put aside their differences.
