Notorious ladies’ man and hockey hotshot Luca Pandatelli broke his own rules when he tangled up with me.
Not only did we spend an entire weekend in bed together, but he confided in me, sharing painful truths about his past. With a kiss good-bye and a promise to call, something sparked between us. Something that broke through my walls.
Except he didn’t call. And I re-enforced my walls with steel and barbed wire.
Now, I’ve accepted a job with the Boston Hawks franchise, making it inevitable that I see the last man I want to cross paths with. I’m prepared to dismiss him and pretend like our weekend together never happened.
But the regret in Luca’s eyes and the apology in his voice catches me off-guard. The harder I push him away, the harder he pulls me in.
Until the one thing I can’t accept, can’t forgive, comes to light.
And I’m left wondering, is Luca only interested in the chase? Or is really playing for keeps?
REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Abbi arrives at the Boston Hawks having had really bad luck with men and the end of her last relationship left her jobless as well as humiliated. A weekend with Luca had given her hope in men but when he didn't call when he promised he would, it reinforced her perception of men.
Luca had every intention of calling Abbi but a family emergency took over his life. But now she is back in town and working for his team, he is not going to let her go again. He is known for liking the ladies but Abbi makes him want something more with her.
When things are starting to go well between these, her past rears its ugly head and what unfolds would never happen if she was male. Double standards and all. It was hard to see a woman who is trying to rebuild her life being pulled down so publicly, especially considering she doesn't have much emotional support around her. Whilst Luca tries to be there for her, she pulls away as she knows it is impacting on his career.
I have been enjoying this series and this was a great addition to the series. I loved the loyalty Luca shows to his family and to Abbi. Abbi has been through so much but is still standing and fighting. Her heart is big and generous and genuinely deserves someone who loves her so completely.
