She was hired to get in my head.
I’m a goalie. I don’t let anything in.
But she’s the one I can’t shut out, and I’m breaking every rule to make her mine.
Dr. Nina Erwin is the Acers’ new sports psychologist.
All curves and attitude, she’s too good at reading what I don’t say.
I give her nothing.
She doesn’t flinch.
She calls me out. I shut her down.
And still…she gets under my skin.
One brutal game loss. One hungry kiss… zero apologies.
And suddenly, the lines between us aren’t so clear.
She says it can’t happen. I say it already did.
Now we’re hiding something that could jeopardize her job, the team, and my game.
She’s the calm I never asked for.
The chaos I didn’t see coming.
But just when it starts to feel real, she gets offered everything she’s worked for.
Everything that doesn’t include me.
If she walks, I’ll let her go.
But I’ll make damn sure she wants to stay.
Because I don’t just protect the net…I protect what’s mine.
MY REVIEW NOTES :
MY REVIEW IS 5 STARS
ALEX CHADWICK and Nina Erwin wow what a dynamite couple. At first they didn't seem to have very much in common except for her to confront him and him to resist her truths about his hockey and his emotions. She basically tells him that he's blocking both on the field and off. Nina knows right off the bat that he's going to be her biggest challenge of this team and isn't shy to say so to those who need to hear it ! Then, there begins to be a sharing between the two of what some of their challenges and fears have been in life. They begin to put themselves out there. Even for a non-hockey person, they should really be able to enjoy and love this story. It's about team work and love !
Detroit now there is someplace that I know a little bit about and have always enjoyed watching the Detroit Pistons on TV.
The story also included some great tension and anxiety tips that I think we could all use. All presented in humorous and relatable ways. Mental toughness presented in a delightful way. There is plenty of humor included in the story with some smart snark which I always enjoy. Not mean or cruel but truthful and funny !
The romance was quietly sizzling in its swinging back and forth when it comes to will Nina choose Alex or not? Is she a coward or will she practice what she preaches ?
I had many favorite sayings in the book but my favorite was when an old trusted professor said this : "You'll do the right thing. You always do." Even when it scares the hell out of you ."
I also want to remember how Legacy was defined in the book, as not the title that you leave behind but its the people who whisper your name when you're not in the room. Not because you were in charge, but because you made them better. People make a Legacy not titles or plaques. Hard work doesn't come with a plaque. Powerful truths !
I'm keeping this story to re-read again and again !
There is also a clever except of "My Pucked up Silver Fox" at the end of the book .
