This book is everything. If you are looking for a spicy ice hockey romance where she is an athlete too, this is for you.
Thirty-year-old Emerson Hartwell is transferring to DC Stars and she will be the first female player on the team. Team Captain Maverick Miller, also thirty, spends his evenings with a different woman every night so is far too busy to check out videos of the Stars' latest signing. Imagine his surprise when he flirts with Emerson outside of their meeting not realising that new winger Emerson Hartwell is in fact, not a man.
Emerson knows of Maverick and her guard is already up being a female in a male-dominated industry. She tells Maverick under no uncertain terms that she is going to kick his ass on the ice.
I absolutely adored this book and literally could not put it down. The backstories to every character made me fall in the love with them and I am so excited to hear that there will be more in DC Stars series. One thing that I find a lot of romance novels get wrong is not letting me feel the emotions build but Face Off does it perfectly. Maverick Miller - wow.
This novel is so gorgeous with so much depth and I would highly recommend if hockey romance, enemies to lovers and forced proximity are your thing!
