Power Play Pursuit by Marion De Ré: Book Review

The Book

In the game of love, can she learn to trust again?

After a disastrous relationship, my heart is closed to men—especially smoldering hot hockey players.

Only problem? James Adler, star player of the New York Raptors, hasn’t received the memo. He flirts with me like it’s a full-time job, but I’m not about to fall for his charm—no matter how many abs he sports.

But when my ex crosses a line, James swoops in. He sends him packing and ends up injured in the process. The doctor says James can’t be on his own, and before I can second-guess myself, I’m offering to be his temporary roommate.

Living with James reveals a different side of him, and I discover there’s more to him than a goofy, charming hockey player—including a slight home fragrance addiction and a complicated past that speaks to me in ways I can’t ignore.

With each passing day bringing us closer, he melts the ice I carved around my heart, and I find it hard to stick to the no-flirting rule I established.

Everything about being with James feels right, but is risking my heart again worth the chance at something real?

Book Review

Power Play Pursuit is the second book in the New York Raptors series. While those who have read the previous book may have a better understanding of the team dynamics, I do think this one could be enjoyed just fine as a standalone. 

Oh my goodness, this story! James and Elizabeth very quickly won my heart. I'm always here for a MMC who falls first... and James!? Oh, he most certainly falls first... and he falls hard. I love how unapologetic he is about that fact--- he's flirty, yes... but still super patient while she comes around too. And when he defends her!? My goodness. I'm not usually one to condone violence, but... well, let's just say I didn't mind it so much. Truly, James is a character that loved to make people around him happy... and the came off the pages as well. I loved him and Elizabeth together... they had such a great chemistry with just the right blend of flirting and banter. Theirs was certainly a slow burn... but boy, what a payoff! Of course, as much as I loved the romance, I was also so happy to spend some more time with the whole Raptors team... they truly feel like a family, and I can't help but enjoy every visit with them. We get just a glimpse of what's going to happen next, and I absolutely cannot wait to see how it's all going to play out! 

Power Play Pursuit is a closed-door romance with kisses only. There is a bit of light innuendo and language.
