Walk of Shame by Avery Flynn
4.0
First and foremost it needs to be stated somewhere that this a hockey romance. This does not dissuade me one bit, but being as the cover appears to be a drunk Barbie there was no indication of this fact.
Astrid is the only child of a hockey coach and former fiancé to a goalie. Left at the alter for a new team, she has had enough of hockey and its players to last her a lifetime. Who can blame her honestly, being in a relationship with someone so emotionally underdeveloped that he didn’t realize bailing on their wedding meant the relationship was over would cause anyone some trauma. After finally rebuilding her life in a now town, she is finally feeling more like herself than an accessory to hockey.
That is until she meets Cal. The instant attraction is undeniable and it seems like the perfect one night stand until they meet again at dinner. At Astrid’s dad’s apartment. Who just happens to be Cal’s new boss. You guessed it, Cal is hockey guy. Not only a hockey guy, but a former goalie here to coach Astrid’s former fiance, Tig.
They try their best to keep their distance and their hands to themselves, but can they stop before disaster strikes? The answer is no. No they cannot. But can what was supposed to be a casual no strings hook up, walk of shame included, end up as something more?
