New Release & Review: Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne
Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne is now live!
My mom always said you don't get a second shot at making a first impression. I've remembered that my entire career. Especially since I'm one of the few black men who play professional hockey. I'm calculated and respectful in the way I speak to my coaches, the owners, and the media. I've never taken a risk... until her. I could blame it on the fact that for once I pushed away the pressure of my career for the ocean waves, the sand, and good times with my new teammates. But those are excuses because the minute I saw her at the airport, something lit up inside me and the best week of my life was spent with her in my bed. After our week in paradise, we said goodbye, exchanged phone numbers and both assumed that unless one of us was flying through the other's city on the opposite side of the country, our vacation fling was over. Then one night after practice I see her. She's here. In my city. Telling me she moved here for a job. If that's not fate tell me what is. I've never wanted a second shot more than I do this time, but she's determined to leave what we were on the island we left behind.
MY THOUGHTS: ⭐⭐⭐
I live for second chance romances...but the latest in the Hockey Hotties series fell short for me because the plot twist—despite being very obvious—was a major nope for me. I really liked Ande and Cory when they were introduced in a previous novella, and while it's not necessary to read it, I do think that if you want to go into this story liking these characters, it's worth it. Because from the get-go in this book, neither Cory nor Ande makes a good impression. I wish they'd had the spark in this book that they did in the novella. Instead, their was a lot of deception on Ande's part and I really disliked how she treated both Cory and her friend, Trevor. So why am I giving even 3 stars for this book? The answer is simple-its for the other characters in the series. I love how much page time the couples from previous books get, and I enjoy every their friendships. Whether it's karaoke, bowling night, or just talks in the locker room, I feel like I know the other players and their partners. The final pages of this book had me cheering for what I hope to be the next featured couple. The future of the Florida Fury is gonna' be fantastic!
