Summary:
Sam LeClaire is one of the Seattle Chinooks' bruisers with the body of Adonis. Autumn Haven is a red-headed spitfire event planner who also happens to be Sam's ex-wife. They met in Vegas and drunkly tied the knot after only knowing each other a few days and despite their hasty divorce, they will always be tied together by their son, Connor, the product of that crazy vacation. Autumn hates violence and hockey and Sam's penchant for being the neglectful father. Sam can't remember what he saw in the tiny woman who isn't his type at all. As Sam realizes he's getting older, he also realizes that he hasn't been very good to Connor, and now he's in the fight of his life- fighting to be the best father to his son.
Thoughts:
Predictable. Sadly so. At least there wasn't a big scary life-altering secret that could potentially come out as there was previously. (One was that the team owner was sleeping with a player, one was that a reporter was sleeping with a player, one was that the assistant was sleeping with a player, and one was that the ex-fiance of the owner was sleeping with a player.) And at least the player, Sam in this case, didn't retire after finally confessing his undying love. There IS a marriage proposal, though, and it also starts with a wedding of one of the previous couples. I swear, not a single woman who gets involved with the Chinook organization can help herself when it comes to the players on the team. One way or another, she's going to hook up with a player, even if it could cost her (or the chosen player) could lose her job. This couple, however, didn't have that terror hanging over them. They just had Connor, who might get confused, holding them apart. This was almost the most believable story line from this series, though it was still a little lame. I've wondered at times why I keep reading this series, but the answer becomes clear almost immediately. There's not a whole lot of fictional books that are written about a hockey team. So I push on and deal with it. Sadly.
