Mel Boyd pensaba que su vida estaba bajo control: un empleo estable, un techo compartido con su hermana y la tranquilidad de no complicarse con romances. Todo se derrumba cuando la despiden y, de manera inesperada, termina aceptando un puesto con el equipo de hockey Tahoe West en plena temporada de playoffs.

Sean Murphy, entrenador del equipo, carga con la presión de llevar a sus jugadores a la victoria y con la responsabilidad de ayudar a su hermana y a su sobrina. Su mundo se mueve en torno a estrategias, disciplina y sacrificio, no a los impulsos del corazón.

Lo que empieza como encuentros torpes y miradas que ninguno quiere admitir pronto se transforma en una conexión que descoloca a ambos. Mel descubre en Sean a un hombre que inspira seguridad y pasión en igual medida, y él ve en ella la chispa que creía apagada para siempre. Ahora deberán decidir si están listos para arriesgar la estabilidad que tanto les ha costado construir o si se resignarán a dejar pasar la oportunidad de un amor capaz de cambiarlo todo.

"It seemed I’d been waiting for this and didn’t know it until now."


I liked this book so much that I almost was late to the bus this morning because I was reading this and couldn't put it down!

Mel's got a new job with a hockey team whose head coach is a yummy chocolate-eyed hottie. Neither of them is searching for love, but sometimes love comes unexpectedly!

This is a slowburn romance, the overall tempo is quite slow but somehow I liked it a lot. The build up of the romance is slow, a kiss lingering eye contact here, a kiss there... But it was sweet and lovely.

I loved how there was no third act break up. Mel and Sean are so strongly together even though there are some obstacles.
