This is book 5 in the York Bombers Hockey series and it features Aaron and Savannah. Neighbors for a year and extremely attracted to each other, he’s fearful of taking that plunge back into dating, especially with two daughters depending on him. Savannah is fairly easy going, independent and her own boss. She’s a little scatterbrained as far as her sexy hockey player neighbor is concerned because watching him just does it for her. He has issues. Trust issues, dating issues, parenting issues and so on. It’s a good thing his mother is around to help with his daughters because her advice is invaluable to him. I love the story line! I would have loved Aaron even more if he hadn’t been so fickle and clueless about everything. I almost find it irritating to read about him. Anyways, the story line was fantastic and so are most of the characters.

Another great addition to the New York Bombers series!

Another great addition to the York Bombers series! Every story is a winner and this one is one of my favorites! Aaron, considered an “older”player in hockey, is struggling to raise his two daughters, whom he’s only seen irregularly since his divorce, on a full-time basis since the tragic accidental death of his ex-wife. To say this is a big adjustment for Aaron is an understatement. While his youngest daughter, Isabella (who is 10), is trying her best with the new reality of living with her dad after losing her mother, his older daughter, Brooke (who is 13 and fits the stereotypical young hormonal teenager) is at the other end of the spectrum...angry at everything and takes it out on her dad, repeatedly. Not an easy way to be thrust into full-time parenting. Even if Aaron wasn’t a professional hockey player, this would be a challenging situation for such a young (34-year-old) man. It’s one thing to deal with very young children, it’s another to be thrown into the young teen years...not for the faint of heart! Add in that he’s busy many evenings playing games or on the road with the team, this is a really difficult situation. He wants to do what is best for his daughters...bit it isn’t easy. Savannah, his next-door-neighbor, is drawn to Aaron and, in truth, Aaron is drawn to her. But it’s more complicated than that...he’s a package deal. Savannah is uncertain of where she fits into Aaron’s life. Aaron sends mixed messages...he wants to be with her but his daughters are his priority. How can she compete with that? How can she have a relationship with him? Some of the funniest and also most poignant moments happen when Aaron’s mom, Carol, steps in and gives him some motherly advice. Carol tells it like it is to Aaron...which he sorely needs to hear. This is a heartwarming story with a lot of fun, and like real life, not so fun moments thrown in. I’ve enjoyed all of the stories in this series and they just seem to get better and better which is saying a lot because they’re all wonderful! I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book, however, this is my honest opinion.
