I loved this book. I can't wait until another installment is released in this series. This is the first book I have read by L.P. Dover and now I am hooked. This book was hard to put down when I started reading page 1. This story is full of sexy times, page turning and feel good falling in love. I loved the tension between that existed between Callie and Dallas throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.

This was a top notch hockey story. My first book by Author L.P. Dover and it will not be my last. I loved the story of Dallas and Callie. It was entertaining and very cute. Didn't realize this was the second book in the series, but it made no difference I got right into the story.

The characters were very entertaining with everything going on. The storyline didn't lag in anyway. If you like a lighthearted hockey story then I'm sure you will enjoy th I s book I sure did.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review by Net Galley and Loveswept.

With a somewhat stereotypical off-limits/forbidden romance with a fellow hockey player teammate’s sister, Dallas goes from a crude, OTT unapologetic man ho to wanting to be a better man because of Callie, the heroine. Believe me, my fellow romance book-loving friends, he needed this transition desperately. You see, right off the bat he finally gets his lights knocked out over one too many crude, random hook-ups at celebratory parties with a too willing woman who shouldn’t have been. Callie comes to his rescue in the cleanup/aftermath, but he doesn’t even know it, folks, at least not for awhile.

Fortunately, those lights come back on in a very big way when he sets out to impress Callie, who doesn’t seem to want anything to do with him and makes him work for it. At first, she starts off very likable as she constantly keeps putting him in his place. Yeah, who doesn’t love to see an egotistic, thinks he’s God’s gift to women knocked off his high horse. But, honestly, her pranks and demands started to come across as rather OTT and childish.

They finally find common ground though and go for it. By 50%, they are an actual couple and no longer are hiding their relationship. At 55% it becomes very graphically smexy/steamy, so brace yourself for that. Yeah, you’ve been warned.

Somewhere along the way Callie goes from a flirty prankster trying to prove why dating between them wouldn’t work to a crying, doubting Thomas who never seemed to want to give him a chance to explain anything and always expected the worst from him.

Dallas’s rather predictable but grand gesture was really the only good part about the ending. Callie’s crying bouts and complaining to everyone about how he broke her heart was starting to feel overly done. She nearly ruined the ending for me, folks.

Well, it looks like I got ahead of myself and read my ARC edition of book 2 a tad too early. Near the conclusion, I found myself really wanting good guy Kellan and Kristen’s story, which turns out to be book 1, which releases next week. Here’s to hoping I’ll find time to work it in, as well.

Dover, Releases: 10/31/17, stand-alone but part of a series, dual first person POV, former manho hero who wants to be a better man because of the heroine, very steamy scenes, off-limits/forbidden romance with sister of a fellow hockey team member, no cheating, quickly decides he only wants the heroine, no love triangle, no OW/OM drama (except crude opening scene with random OW).

L. P. Dover is back with her sexy hockey players in the steamy romance Blocked. Dallas Easton is a hot commodity on and off the ice. The best goaltender in the league, he knows he is good and he isn't ready to pass the puck… Still, when a player gets the best of him, he loses his cool and his reputation comes back to bite him. He didn’t know the dude he hit was a girl. And not just any girl. She was his angel. She was also the little sister and cousin of two of his teammates, who now had just another reason to hate his guts. She enthralled him. And won't let him make amends. Callie Davis knows all about the gorgeous goalie that knocked her down. He is a womanizer and she'd be just another notch on his belt if she let him. Except he is determined to prove he can be different with her. With her family and his agent against Easton turning a new leaf, it is hard to show Callie just how much she means to him. But he won't give up. She is not only what he wants. She is what he needs. Callie is willing to give Easton a chance, but she won't be played. If he hurts her, there will be a world of pain heading his way. But the truth is that she will break too. Blocked is a sexy romance with a hot hockey player, his perfect match, lots of fun banter, some trashy gossip rags, betrayal, loyal friends and a HEA.

Blocked is a sports romance involving Dallas an ice hockey player at the top of his game with women falling at his feet he's rather a man whore with commitment issues. Callie is the sister of 3 brothers one of whom plays on the same team as Dallas. Callie has no intention of becoming another 'Puck bunny' and her protective brother is determined to keep Dallas away from his sister .
Okay so this is the usual formula for a sports romance but this was a god read with some laugh out loud moments, Callie is no simpering woman and Dallas has to work hard to prove himself.
Enjoyable and well written.
Thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book honestly

Well, I really loved this 2nd book in the series! I thought it was well done... Dallas and Callie were fun to read. I enjoyed Callie as she is a spit fire and truly gave Dallas a run for his money. Dallas has never had to work for a date in his life and has really never believed in just one girl, as there are so many who are willing for a night with a hockey star. Callie grew up all around hockey and is not really impressed with the lifestyle most of the hockey players who play with her brother are involved in. She loves the game, and is busy trying to figure out her own life and not looking for anything, but Dallas sees something in her that he can't walk away from and will do anything
to prove he can change. Can he change, will his past come back to haunt them? There is hints in this book that the hockey world is truly a small world and there maybe more connections in this group... Looking forward to seeing what comes of this...Hoping there are a few more books in this series as there are some big changes with the charters in this book. Would be fun to see where it goes!

I received this ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.
Dallas Easton is one of the best goalies in the league which of course he gets his pick of women. He has no interest in settling down until he meets Callie. Callie is off limits because he did something really stupid and pissed off her brother and cousin who also happen to be his teammates. A quick read with some fun characters. Really interested to see who the next book is about.

He’s an infamous bad boy hockey player who's never had to work harder than breaking out a grin to get a girl. She’s an RN whose all feminine beauty but grew up with brothers and can hold her own both on and off the ice. She’s not one to put up with shenanigans, so she’s out of her element when she finds herself attracted to him. And with his lousy habit to “love the one you’re with,” things really get interesting when he finally falls and can’t be with the one he loves.

The backdrop of a professional hockey team and the secondary characters are enough to grab my interest, but the relationship between Dallas and Callie is great - a little sweet, a lot hilarious and super steamy. She doesn’t fall at his feet but makes him really work to be with her, and that’s after she gave him a black eye! The interplay between Callie’s brothers and Dallas make things even more interesting, as does the hint of history between Callie’s cousin, Maddox and Dallas’s sister, Lacey. (Can’t wait for that story!) The main characters are complex, believable and well developed and I couldn’t help loving them and cheering for them to get together and stay together. I was fortunate to get an ARC copy to read in exchange for an honest review but I enjoyed this one enough that I’ll buy the book and read it again. It would be a terrific beach or vacation read with a happily ever after you’ll remember long after the last page.

Dallas Easton- comes off a jerk, hot headed hockey player, serial manhoe.

Callie Davis- RN ER nurse, sister to 3 brothers on the hockey team. Sweet feisty loyal.

This story didn't start how I thought it would honestly. Not a bad setup though, Dallas meets Callie officially after he almost punches her. And then its pretty much insta love on his end he has to track her down to apologize and instantly he wants to prove to her hes not a complete jerk. Callie in turn tests him and pulls pranks seeing if hell follow through he does and they hook up. Will they last? Will Dallas ruin everything? And what about that reality show hes signed up for? Hows that gonna effect the couple?

I give this 3 1/2 stars..

Yet another page turned from the queen of romantic-suspense.

Blocked is on of LP Dover's lighter reads but I still found it to be wonderfully engaging. As always this was a one sitting read, I couldn't put it down.

Blocked by LP Dover was a great contemporary romance novel filled with witty conversation, smoking hot hockey players and forbidden romance. What else can you ask for? Perhaps more depth in the hero and a bit more back bone for the heroine. I liked this book, yet another book could fill in for many aspects, wishing it had more depth to the characters and story line. A good amount of heat, chemistry, love, and plot line if slightly annoying at times. I appreciate the opportunity to read the book and Thank Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

I love love love sports romance and hockey romance is my favourite, hence I really enjoyed Blocked, which followed cocky manwhore NHL goalie Dallas Easton and kind gentle ER and surgical nurse Callie Davis. Told in dual POV we meet Dallas at an after hockey party just before he gets smashed over the head with a bottle, who comes to his rescue? Yes you've guessed it, sister of one of his team mates (team enemies if you will), Callie. After running into each other a few more times, Dallas is in complete and utter lust and Callie is in the,'I don't play with players' zone. Some funny moments some sexy moments, and of course some cringeworthy moments. Light easy predictable story. I'm looking forward to future stories in the series and I'm hoping for Maddox's story next.
I'm received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So many great characters!!! I honestly can't pick a favorite. And I'm left wanting more!!! Who will be next? Jason or Maddox??? I hope it's Maddox!!!! I want to know what Callie was shown!!

Okay now this book, when we first meet Dallas, I will admit that I didn't think I was going to like him. But that quickly changed.

I loved Callie. And is it horrible that I wish she had held out a little longer?? Maybe a tutu next time instead of a bikini???

And we have Jason and Maddox. I have to wonder what Jason is really like since we don't get to see him outside of hockey and home. And he is so good to his sister. Maddox I want next!!!! I think he's a softy! We just have to wait to see it.

I enjoy reading this book. I read some reviews previous to start reading and their are hard and make me a little nervous about this book. But as soon I begin reading that change. The story is really good; characters are interesting and the writing is fresh. Can't wait to start the next book.
I received an ARC from Netgalley for a honest review.

Dallas is the goaltender for his professional hockey team, while practicing with fellow teammates and friends he comes up against someone who actually gets a puck past him. What he doesn't realize is that the person is a girl, who is also the sister of one of his teammates. Unfortunately for him, his teammate doesn't like him and Dallas has to keep his relationship a secret in the beginning.

This book was a great read. It is also part of a series but could be read as a standalone.

Easton loved his life ice hockey was his passion but he loved his single life
The more woman he had the better he loved his bachelor ways.
He loved it so much he signed up to appear on a dating reality show rich and single he couldn't wait

Callie loved her brothers never missing a hockey game she loved to show her support going to her first after party she never though she would be helping the one and only bad boy Easton

As time passes and the more time they see each other will they be able to fight there feelings for each other or will fate step in and stop them.

This book was just okay for me. I did like the first one in the series a little more and so I was excited to read this one. But it just fell flat. and it was VERY predictable.

Hockey ✔ Bad boy with a heart? ✔ Enemies to lovers? ✔ = Hat trick! I enjoyed Dallas & Callie's story, looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

overall an ok read

Dallas Easton was the best. The only problem was he knew he was the best and let nothing stand in his way from getting what he wants. After a practice session someone scores twice on him. Two goals were inconceivable as he took it in his hands to stop them anyway possible. The only problem it was a girl that captivated him with a single glance. Callie Davis was everything he never knew he wanted and everything he needed.
