Third Man In
The Playmakers #2
By: G.K. Brady
Narrated by Tor Thom & Whitton Frank

Hockey is so much fun, and when a book is written about the goal scorer with an edge, it's even better! I love to get to know this player. The one who takes the man down for the good of the team, but in reality is nothing like his professional image. TJ does just what he is told, but when Kevin, the player in the way is hurt worse than expected, his life changes. Taking a hit for the team takes on a whole new meaning as he begins to take the repercussions of that one decision. But if it hadn't happened, he would not have met Natalie. Natalie, the girlfriend of the hurt player and the sparks are flying between TJ and her, much more than Kevin! She has no idea who TJ is in relation to Kevin, but she does know there is something about the man. Will these two find their way to happiness? GK Brady takes us into TJ's crazy world of working through his new life. What did I love the most? I can't choose just one thing. The man is like a big hug! He gets a dog, he's sweet and wonderful, he is remorseful and most of all he is loving. But getting around a lie is not the easiest thing. This is a fun listen, easy on the ears and a lot going on. I loved getting to know these characters and am looking forward to book 3.

Tor Thom and Whitton Frank are our story tellers and they bring this gem to life. Thom puts his heart out on his sleeve each time Natalie and TJ are together, so raw and easy to feel. Frank is a new to me narrator and she brings out Natalie's big heart as she embraces new career, and a sense of loyalty that is unbreakable. I enjoyed these two and their performance.

Enjoyed the next book in the playmaker series. This book we follow TJ the enforcer on the Hurricanes who is told by his coach to take a dirty hot which ends up giving an opposing hockey player a traumatic brain injury and hospitalized. During his season suspension TH re-evaluates his life and meets Natalie the dog walker who just happens to be the girlfriend of the player he injured but she doesn't know if yet. Highly recommend.

This is the first book I have read by G.K Brady and it won’t be my last! I love a good hockey romance and this exciting story with a twist is definitely that!

It was an intriguing story with a twist that made me laugh out loud, cringe in secondhand embarrassment, yell at the main character, and smile in appreciation multiple times.

The story follows T.J. the enforcer of his team who takes down an opposing player and lands him in the hospital with a serious injury. After being traded after the incident, T.J. meets Natalie and is immediately entranced by her. When he finds out that she is the player’s girlfriend that he put in the hospital, he is determined to help her out, without her knowing who he is.

As they begin to open up to each other and get to know each other, T.J. finds it harder and harder to tell Natalie who he really is, as he is afraid to lose her. What could go wrong? The book takes you on a journey of forgiveness, love, and trusting not only yourself but others too.

This sports romance is heavy but also fun and heart-warming. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good contemporary, hockey romance!
