Faceoff (Northbrook Hockey Elite #1) by Rebecca Connolly et al. -- Review

About the Book

She isn’t supposed to want him. He isn’t supposed to want her. But wanting each other is inevitable.

Clint McCarthy has finally achieved his dream of playing for a professional hockey program, and is eager to make his mark with his new team. While getting settled in his new city, he happens across Bree Stone, whom he has known for years, with their respective brothers both being in the famed Belltown Six Pack. But for the life of him, he can’t remember Bree ever looking so attractive. Or being so captivating. Or taking over his every waking thought.

In the middle of her graduate degree, Bree has no time or desire for working on her dating life, or lack thereof, but the impossibly handsome Clint McCarthy coming back into her life makes everything complicated. She shouldn’t be focusing on him, or on them, not when her professional future hangs in the balance. But once she hears about Clint’s past with the Northbrook Hockey Elite program, and where that program stands now, Bree just might find a way to make her career, and a future with Clint, come to life.

Welcome to Northbrook Hockey Elite!

Six professional hockey players used to play on an elite club team together, but have all separated and now play in the pro-hockey leagues. Not all of them were friends, yet circumstances bring them together, and for the greater good, maybe they can put aside their differences.

Review

This fun and exciting story is an excellent kick-off for the Northbrook Hockey Elite swoony sports series.  Throughout the story readers get to see the friendship and eventual chemistry and romance between the two main characters explode, much the game of hockey that is deeply involved in the story as well.  Not only is the main character a hockey player, but he also helps revitalize a youth hockey league that he was once part of.  There is also a fun cross over from characters in the Belltown Six Pack series that readers will love.  Fans of hockey will definitely enjoy this delightful story.
