(I received an ARC for this book)
She’s the epitome of everything I want but can’t have, and I fucking hate it.
We’re back again with the Carolina Comets, and this time we get to spend some much needed time with Smith! Mr Old and Fussy, isn’t at all old and fussy. Especially when it comes to Emilia. He’s all kinds of soft and sweet. Emilia and Smith have already met and exchanged pleasantries. But they’ve managed to not cross paths all too much since then. Especially considering she’s his coach’s niece AND she works for the team! But there’s no more avoiding each other when they have to work together one and one. And there’s no time to ignore the undeniable chemistry (or tension) between them! Now their lives are intertwined more than ever before and they can’t avoid the inevitable anymore! Even though they only had two days together in their bubble when they first bed, Smith has remembered every single detail about her in their two years “apart”. The way she orders her whiskey sour, and her coffee. Her favorite movies, the secrets they shared between them. He never let go of her, and she never let go of him. Smith doesn’t do the whole “stay” thing, but Emilia always stayed on his mind, in his heart. And, hanging on his wall (IYKYK!) I think if this was any other player, I would have been shocked by Smith’s grand gesture for Emilia. But it was perfect. I loved being back with the Comets again. It’s never a dull moment with them!

Honestly this book needs a PSA: read in front of an open freezer door! Smith has a filthy side that you will love, a protective streak that will make you swoon and a caring side that will melt your heart. But under his gruff exterior Smith is vulnerable - is his career coming to an end and if so what will that mean for him when hockey is his whole life? Emilia is working hard to prove herself in her job and squash the murmurs of nepotism; my heart hurts so much for her that she has to choose between her job and Smith, both of which she loves. The heat between these two is scorching but I also love the deep connection that develops between them. As I have come to love in the Carolina Comets series, there is some witty text exchanges, hilarious banter and support from the Comets family. I have been looking forward to Smith and Emilia’s story through the series and it didn’t disappoint.

This story is about Smith and Emilia. They meet a few years earlier and had a few day stand. After that she realizes that she is the social media manager of a hockey team to which Smith is a player. They aren't allowed to be together at all. They still have the hots for each other and want to be together.
Emilia has to do a story on Smith to get to be the director of the social media department. This throws them in together in many situations. They try to deny their attraction until they cave in. They are trying to keep it a secret but when they are found out she has to pick her job. Smith needs to decide how he is going to handle this since he loves her even though he is 10 year younger.
This is how they end of being together and try to keep it a secret.

I wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did. The age gap was done so so we’ll and I love the way the characters complimented each other. One of my favourite from the series.

Oh Smith you just slay me. This is a fab story I devoured this book
I am reading this series like eating a bag of potato chips -- one isn't enough. ^_^ I wasn't sure about this one when it was set up in the previous book, but I kept an open mind. I'm glad that I did, because Smith and Emilia are a fun couple with just a hint of forbidden-ness, due to their respective jobs with the Comets. It was also nice to have a hero who is further along in life and realizing how much he may have missed out on.
