Great well paced sports romance with a unique opening! Hilarious scene when cocky hockey goaltender Dallas goes after the dude who slips the puck past him in a practice session with mostly nonprofessional hockey players. Turns out the dude isn't; it's one of his teammate's sister, Callie.
It's insta-attraction for playboy Dallas but Callie thinks he's just another "love 'em and leave 'em" kind of guy...which he is. She has a lot of reasons to believe that's all Dallas is...like her brother and cousin who are on the same hockey team as Dallas. Plus, having had to tend to Dallas's injuries sustained at a party when he was in a compromising position just a few days earlier didn't help his reputation with her.
Even as Dallas tries to show Callie he's changed and she's different from all the others, she's bent on "testing him". Some of it is sweet, in a "he can be a thoughtful guy with others" way (don't want to reveal a spoiler here) while some of what she asks him to do is completely outrageously embarrassing (bordering on humiliating). Not a fan of that...there goes one star...
However, once you get beyond that, Dallas's determination in showing Callie she's the one is sweet. Though their road isn't as smooth as ice (hahaha!), it's a very satisfying journey to follow!
Looking forward to Lacey and Maddox's story...

Quick read and definitely an interesting one. I liked Dallas and Callie together. I felt like this story was more of an introduction for the next two books.

Callie and Dallas were epic.
Unlike the first book, Hard Stick, which started a bit too slow, this story was a page turner from start to finish.
I couldn't get enough of the characters, main and supportive, they were funny and relatable.
I cannot wait for the next story, fingers crossed it's about Maddox.

Book 2 of a series, but can be read as a standalone. *Also a spinoff of the Second Chances series - check this series as well!
Perhaps predictable, but very enjoyable. Bad boy falls in love and changes his ways. Good girl takes a chance on love. An easy uncomplicated read.

Blocked was a really great read. That had everything I love in a hockey romance, and it had me hooked from beginning to end. With fantastic characters, great chemistry and a story that was fun, entertaining, easy to read and low angst. There really was plenty to enjoy and I'm excited to read more from this series in the future. Especially with this group of characters. Which is why I'd happily recommend Blocked to others.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, and I thought the introduction of the two characters was cute and unique. However, ultimately once their story progressed, I couldn't seem to get into it, and unfortunately, this ended up being a DNF for me.
