When some things come out about Levi and the Rebels manager. Can Levi forgive her for telling his secrets and finally realize he is good enough for her?
Good story about hockey, journalism, secrets. It also touches on discrimination of women in a mans world. Abuse. Second chance at love. Some sexy scenes.

I really enjoyed Levi and Jordan’s story! Levi was instantly attracted to Jordan years ago but she fell for his best friend and so he kept his feelings to himself. When they married, Levi was the best man and was honestly glad that the two optimists found each other. Levi didn't feel worthy of Jordan due to his tragic childhood but when her husband is killed in action he feels even worse due to survivor's guilt. They were in the same unit. Now his feelings for Jordan haven't changed but she's a sports reporter and he's a rookie professional hockey player who hates giving interviews. They try to fight their attraction but it's too strong. Enjoyable romance with lots of heat.

This is Levi and Jordan’s book, Levi is a military veteran who put his NHL career on hold to serve his country. So when his new Chicago rebels bosses tell him to cooperate with the press he’s ready to do his duty, until he finds out who he has to work with, the flame haired freckle faced and impossibly perky Jordan Cooke! Jordan is a sports reporter and a widow. Jordans husband who passed away in the military and his best friend Levi is now in the NHL! Jordan because she has a back story with Levi ,her boss wants her to do a profile on the ex military veteran and she’s just the person who has the right in with him! But Jordan for reason she can’t fathom knows Levi despises her! but she has no idea why ?! Jordan knows her sports reporting future relies on this interview with a sexy grumpy NHL star, will their past get in the way? Jordan might have to play dirty to get the scoop but she’ll play even dirtier to get the man! This book was really good! I definitely enjoyed reading this one I’ve read all of the series attached to this , the firefighter and hockey so it was nice getting a glimpse into the other characters lives also. I did get a feeling that I read some of this so maybe the timeline coincides with some of the other books? because I could tell what was going to happen or I knew what was gonna happen, it was kind of weird because I knew this is a new book LOL I highly recommend reading this it’s well worth the read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Wow!!!! Levi is swoon-worthy as he fights his attraction to Jordan, his best friend's widow. Their relationship sparked so much that I'm surprised my kindle didn't ignite...

Levi has fought his attraction to Jordan since the night they met and she chose his best friend. Jordan is trying to make it as a sports reporter - a very male dominated business. Her goal is a profile on Levi, however, at every turn Levi is labeling a subject as off limits.....basically everything that makes him a good guy is private. Add in Jordan's attraction to Levi, and she is afraid her story will be compromised if she acts on her attraction. Even worse, she fears that she'll be forever tarnished and her career destroyed.

I loved this book! I fell in love with the characters and found myself wanting them to get their HEA ending. I couldn't wait to see what happened next and was flipping pages just as quickly as possible. I stayed up way too late at night to finish this one.

This is the first book in a spin off series that has some of my favorite characters from prior books making a cameo appearance. This is a stand alone novel and it isn't necessary to have read her prior books to enjoy this one, however they're so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all.

Put this one at the top of your TBR list as it is a must read for fans of the genre. The author is on my must read authors' list.
