A Great beginning to a New Hockey Series!
I have been looking forward to THE NEST SERIES for a while now. At the same time, some of you may be new to Piper Rayne's books; others, like me, have been around for a while and have been anxiously awaiting some characters getting their stories, and we will get one of my most anticipated ones later in this series. This book is the story of Rowan Landry, a hockey player for the Chicago Falcons, and Leigh (Kyleigh) Nilsen, a bridal gown designer and the sister of Connor Nilsen, a player on the Florida Fury Hockey Team.
Leigh and Rowan met at a wedding, and while she knew who he was, he didn't know who she was. They had an instant connection, and the chemistry was intense, so they decided to have a fun night, and oh boy, did they. Only what they thought would only be one night turned into more. But what happens when you keep a secret because you thought it was only one night and don't fess up because you get so deep you're afraid it will end things?
Piper and Rayne didn't pull any punches with this one; check it out: They had a great meet-cute, mirror sex, fantastic banter, he buys her her favorite iced coffee on the regular, she wears his jersey, and what started as an ONS turns into a fling turns into more. See what I mean?
I enjoyed not only Rowan and Leigh but all of the secondary characters. I am looking forward to the next book because, based on the epilogue of this one, the next one will be the real heartbreaker.
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy STEAMY Contemporary Romances, Sports/Hockey Romances, Brother's Teammate Romances, Hidden Identity Romances, Close Proximity Romances, or Forbidden Romances.
Happy Reading!!!
