I absolutely love this series, ok so I’ve only read 3 of the books! But seriously, I need to go back to book 1 and start over. I love that Elise Farber wrote about an older woman with a younger man, and that man happens to be on hot hockey player.

I think this was one of those $0.99 Chirp deals that I'm so fond of jumping on. You had me at "hockey romance". 😂

Rebecca is the PR person for a professional hockey team and is very vocal about how good she is to her job. Kevin is a 24 year old hockey player for the Gold and knows exactly what he wants - 34 year old Rebecca. She's not interested in some young kid, but Kevin is persistent and Rebecca decides to give him a shot, but can he handle her big secret?

This felt like a short story and not so much a novel.  It was maybe 3 plus hours long and I felt like I kept waiting for a plot that was more than "will she let him in or not?" Meh. 

⭐⭐

This was a heartfelt, feel good novella. PR Rebecca is an amazing woman who has been through so much loss in her 34 years. Kevin is the younger man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And he wants Rebecca; not for a night, not for a few weeks. No he wants her for forever. Kevin is such an amazing alpha gentleman. He walks her to her car, carries her bag. Hell he gives her a little surprise every day. He also won't take no for an answer because he knows she wants him too. I adore him for that. He's willing to fight for what he wants. Rebecca has walls up and she wants them to stay up, though Kevin makes it real hard. I love her for fighting. I understood why she did and my heart broke for her. And even though I wanted her to make him fight harder (yeah that was the evil side of myself) I love that she finally gave in to him and knocked her walls down. I think it made her stronger. This was a wonderful feel good story with little to know drama. Just what I needed. Great read and now I wait patiently for the next book in the series. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
