So, this book was free on Amazon and since the female lead is called Sara and dating a hockey player and my friend’s sister named Sara is actually dating a professional hockey player I thought it might be funny. But it turned out to be really, really terrible. Sara’s dad is the coach of a fictional hockey team (whose main rival are the Vancouver Canucks, which is already bad because they’re my favourites) and has a heart attack because Cam, one of his players, beats up one of the Canucks’ players and subsequently gets suspended for 10 games. That’s pretty ideal, because apparently, in this fictional world, hockey players don’t have to attend training sessions while they’re suspended and therefore have enough time to sex up the coaches’ daughter. Who’s pregnant from some random dude that never appears, but of course, Cam’s a gentleman and wants the baby to be his. Sara’s not so sure she also wants him to be the baby daddy and once the plot is stuck (with Sara’s dad in hospital and all his team and their wives and girlfriends and kids buzzing around him, because that’s what professional hockey players do) she’s involved in a car crash. Now Cam, still suspended, can look after her and carry (yes, because broken ribs need carrying) her around the house. Meanwhile, her father’s been released from hospital and starts bonding with Cam’s dog Buster, eben though he dislikes dogs. Everything’s good, but Sara’s still not sure if she’s in love with Cam. So enter his family, flying in to meet her and confuse her, because all three sisters’ names start with a C (also, obviously, with three younger sisters a guy just knows how to give a girl’s hair a perfect blowout, which comes in handy, because, you know, broken ribs). Unfortunately, the plot is stuck again, so why not let Sara have a miscarriage. Obviously, time for the team and the wives and the girlfriends to once again move into the hospital’s waiting room, because that’s why professional hockey players do when they’re coache’s daughter is miscarrying. I mean, at this point I was just waiting for Sara to become pregnant with Cam’s baby and the team to win the Stanley Cup, but I guess that would have been too much happening in four weeks. Have I mentioned all of the above is happening in four weeks? If you’re into that kind of story, though, the whole team has to find true love and there are a lot of players on a hockey team so obviously, there are many more novels in the Portland Storm (that’s the team) series. If that doesn’t float your boat, the author also writes romance novels set in the Regency era, which she might know better than hockey, so maybe that’s for you. I spend too much time reading this book and too much time typing out this review, I better stop now.
