I’m a big fan of Colleen’s Vegas Venom series, and I have been secretly crushing on Cash since the beginning. This quiet man who rarely says more than a few words was a fabulous side character, but in this book he finally steps into the spotlight and boy does he shine!
Cash has always been happy with his single status, focusing on his hockey career yet planning for his second act - singing and songwriting. His self awareness and recognition that maybe it’s time for something more in his personal life was touching and so different from so many male characters he n sports romance who are playboys with a sordid past. Cash is a perfect sexy gentleman.
As a new character in the series, Kingsley and her backstory quickly captured my interest and my support. Controlling parents like hers are borderline emotionally abusive, and seeing her show the fortitude and determination to strike out on her own with her best friend Delilah was great.
I loved how Cash and Kingsley’s initial meeting took place in Costco. The guys were hilarious, especially Marco! Most unique bachelor party outing ever.
Overall this was a thoroughly enjoyable read with some downright hilarious moments - ostrich mating dance anyone?!

I think this might be my favorite of the series so far. I loved Cash and Kingsley and their story. The growth of each character. First person dual POV. Spicy.

Kingsley, the female lead, left her family to pursue her dream instead of leading the life her parents dictated. Now an established therapist, she’s pursuing her music dreams on the side.
Cash, the male lead, has been a hockey player for years with a locked recording studio in his house. He secretly plans to write/record music when he’s finished with hockey but, when an accidental stick to the throat threatens to derail his dreams, he’s desperate to get the best assistance.
Kingsley and Cash are attracted to each other but acting on that attraction is inappropriate…for now. So they build a friendship in the meantime. But they’re both guarded, because of their pasts, and not sharing much of themselves with each other.When disruption comes, maybe they can’t hold together…
This story is dual POV, well written and edited, and an interesting addition to the series. I find particularly interesting that this story and the one before ended with the lead male characters leaving hockey as a profession. I appreciated both characters’ determination to create their own destinies away from what their parents wanted. I enjoyed the integrated secondary characters. I actively laughed at a few scenes. I enjoyed the intimate scenes. I admit I didn’t like this story as much as others by this author. I think I felt like the lead characters overreacted at a few points. I’m not sad I read it, though, and am looking forward to the next one.
