Boston Hawks owner Scott Reland is my father’s biggest rival and the last man who should catch my eye. But when he does, I don’t look away.
We’ve circled each other for years, two outliers in a small club of NHL owners. We know the rules, manage similar pressures, and understand that this lifestyle — hockey over everything — isn’t for everyone.
Which is why I want out.
To prove to my father that I have a future beyond the New York Sharks, I score one for me and open a bakery in Boston, the city that reveres Scott.
It isn’t long until the dynamic and perceptive Hawk pursues me. And I’m entirely unprepared to be swept off my feet, cared for and supported after so many years on my own. Scott easily draws me back into the hockey life I thought I didn’t want.
But can our relationship survive the demands of this industry? Or will I always be keeping score, second to the game that dictates everything?
REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Boston Hawks owner Scott has been interested in rival owner's daughter Noelle. They could never be together because of this but that stop him from getting close to her.
Noelle's interests lie outside of hockey and with bakery business that she is expanding into Boston. Her father doesn't support her, wanting her to work for him. Expanding into Boston is a challenge but one she is not afraid of. Scott is so supportive of her dreams and aspirations and provides her with opportunities to enable that to happen. This belief in her is what Noelle needs.
There are many challenges to the growing relationship, including their busy working lives, her father and his attempts to match-make, poor communication, but it is obvious that these two are meant for each other.
I loved how Scott supported Noelle without expectation and without hesitation. What was important to her was equally as important to him. Scott was a real genuine guy, who has created a family atmosphere in his team. This was obvious from the way the team members respect him and seek his opinion. Noelle hasn't really had much support since her mum passed away but she has shown tenacity, courage and determination in following her dreams and stepping away from her father's wishes. It is this that I like about her.
This was another great addition to the series and I am a little sad that we have reached the end. The characters have all been awesome and I have loved each and story about the Boston Hawks team.
