Winning has always come naturally for stud ice hockey defenseman Gus “the Bus” Persson. On the ice or off, he’s never had any trouble scoring, racking up goals―and girls. As the best player in his rookie class and the number-one draft pick of the Malibu Suns, he’s taking his game to the next level and is justifiably full of swagger. So why does one of the Suns’ ice girls treat him like he’s invisible? Bo St. James doesn’t have time for rookie hotshots who think their gloves don’t stink. She knows them, she works with them, she trains them. It doesn’t matter that Gus Persson is the hottest newbie she’s ever seen. She knows his type. She’s got big plans of her own, and she’s not going to let some cocky rich kid athlete keep her from her goals. But there’s a chemistry between them they cannot deny. A lust that burns so hot, it threatens to melt the very ice on which they make their livings. The game has changed for both of them. Together, can these two play to win?
My 4 star review:
This was my first Misadventures book as well as the first book I’ve read by Toni Aleo. I’d have to give it 4 stars.
It’s started off a little iffy for me. Took me a few chapters to get in to the story. Mostly because Gus was too much an arrogant ass. After powering through those first few chapters, I couldn’t put the book down. It was very good.
I enjoyed the banter between Bo and Gus. I liked how Bo didn’t give in to Gus from the very beginning.
One of the best parts? All scenes with Gus’s parents! They were a hoot! Loved them.
