REVIEW BY BRANDY! FULL STRENGTH BY KATIE KENYHERCZ

After a bum knee ended her soccer days, Alexandra - Allie - Kallen has dedicated her life to helping injured athletes cope and get back in the game. As the new team sports psychologist of the Las Vegas Sinners, she starts out with just one player, but he’s a handful. Goalies are stubborn, and she would know. She’s determined to figure him out and return him to the net good as new, especially after she sent her last patient back to the ice too soon. The problem is, she sees so much of herself in Shane, and their chemistry is off the charts. Falling for him isn’t in the plan. Is love worth losing her career?

Shane Reese’s entire identity has been wrapped up in being a goalie since he was five years old. When he gets a high ankle sprain right before playoffs, he doesn’t exactly take it well. After putting his fist through the physical therapy room wall and hitting a few joking teammates, he’s ordered to see the new shrink. All he has to do is convince her he’s seen the light, and he can get back to defending his team as soon as his ankle heals. The problem is, she sees through him like no one he’s ever met, and the more time he spends with her, the less hot he is to get back to the ice. Could something mean more than hockey?

Sensuality Level: Sensual

I LOVE THE SINNERS!  I was contacted by the author to read this book because I read the first one and LOVED it.  I am not a huge hockey fan but this team is under my skin.

Reese is a goalie.  Plain and simple, that is the life he has known.  When an injury puts him on the bench and talks of trading start abounding, he struggles with his anger and resentment.  When he is told that he has to see the new team shrink, he knows he will say and do anything to get the doctor to release him.

Allie knows how an injury can change an athlete's life and she will do all she can to help Reese.  She just didn't expect the punch to the gut that she gets at the sight of the sexy goalie.  Being a team shrink is not easy and I liked how she stepped outside of the box and took on patients who weren't necessarily on the team.  It shows she has a heart and empathy.

This is an awesome series and if you haven't read On the Fly (Crimson Romance)the first book in the series, click the link and meet The Sinners!

REVIEW!! ON THE FLY BY KATIE KENYHERCZ (@Crimson_romance, @KatieKenyhercz)

BLURB:

Jacey Vaughn has a newly minted MBA when her father dies unexpectedly and leaves her his NHL team. Well-versed in business but not so much in hockey, Jacey navigates this new world with a few stumbles. She definitely doesn’t plan on falling for the team captain. At the first hint of scandal, a local Las Vegas reporter latches on, and Jacey finds herself in the newspaper with headlines that hurt instead of help. Jacey’s determined to keep her father’s legacy alive and make the team successful, but while she has no problem denying her feelings to the media, she can’t lie to herself.

Carter Phlynn has known nothing but hockey his entire life. Drafted into the NHL at age eighteen, winning the Stanley Cup is all he’s ever wanted. Nothing has ever disrupted his focus. Not until he meets his new boss. Jacey gets under his skin like no one else, and while dating the team owner would be a disaster for his career and reputation, he can’t get her out of his head. Carter has never had a relationship last more than a month, but the more he’s around Jacey, the more he can’t picture his future without her.

REVIEW:

I was given a copy of the book by the author in return for my honest review.  I was not compensated.  I am not a hockey fan but I have to say I am now!  Carter is yummy on a scale that I find delicious! 

Jacey Vaughn is taking over her father's beloved Las Vegas Sinners hockey team and right from the get-go there are complications.  Her first day in the office the captain of the team shows up for a raise.  Her head coach quits and her brother pops up.  FYI...I am seriously hoping the Katie has a book in the pipe for Madden.  This man has all kinds of potential!

Carter is captain of the Sinners and he has every intention of getting the money that Chicago is offering or he is leaving.  That is until he looks into Jacey's eyes and feels a connection.  When you throw in a journalist with no scruples, an unexpected new head coach and gambling, you just have to say That's Vegas, baby!

This couple battles ups and downs but the romance is constantly building in the background and you can see that in the interactions of the characters.  This is a fun read and I really enjoyed it!

I expect a lot of amazing stories from this author!  Check her out and let me know what you think!
