Crossing The Line by Kelly Jamieson

 


 
 

 Synopsis:

 

Rule #1 Do not cross the line with best friend’s sister

Ben

On the ice I’m formidable, relentless and I lead by example. Now my coach wants me to step up as Captain – and lead the team off the ice too. But this is my worst nightmare; I’d rather play hockey naked than do any kind of public speaking! To make matters worse, my best friend’s sister has shown up out of the blue to live with us temporarily. We have a history… it’s awkward, she’s starting to invade my fantasies and I can’t seem to escape her. But maybe she could be the answer to my problems…

Mabel

Moving in with my brother was not part of my life plan, but I have no choice at the moment. I need to get away and start my life over. I just wish I didn’t have to share the condo with Ben. I thought I’d buried my teenage crush, but seeing him all the time has me fascinated with him all over again! But now he’s asking for my help to be more outgoing and confident, and basically fake it until he makes it. Sure I can help, but that would mean a lot of time alone. I need to stay strong and resist the obvious temptation...

 

Review:


 
Ben is a good hockey player, but to become a Captain he has to also show his face at the events outside the arena and the locker room. There's just one big problem: he is an introvert. Here comes Mabel, his teammate's sister, she is a social butterfly who will happily help him to reach his goal in order to put her life problem on hold.

Kelly Jamison wrote this sports romance with a little spin,where the jock is the awkward shy one, and the librarian is the friendly outgoing one. I've adored how Mabel and Ben supported each other, emphasizing their values, and accepting their flaws without judging. Both these characters are eandearing, and I've felt seen for my shyness and chaotic mind.

Crossing The Line was a very good read, that I recommend. I want to make a little warning if you have a trigger for toxic partners, because the heroine was in a bad relationship that made her lose some self esteem.

Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne

        Synopsis:   I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing. To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out. Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it. But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, ...
