In the Penalty Box
by Kelly Anne Blount, Lynn Rush
This was a pretty cute story, but I wish it would have ended up a bit different than it did. It could have still ended up a cute romance if it went a slightly different direction.
Willow is a figure skater that gets an injury and kicked off her team in Colorado. She goes back home to recover before she can get back to it. She watches a pick up game of hockey and stops a wild shot into the stands. This leads Brodie, the captain of the team, to ask her to step into a goalie position.
So she starts playing with a team of guys. She is not welcome by a few at all but mostly the guys are ok with her.
Brodie has a tough home life- lost his mom, his dad is a drunk and hardly home, and he's left to take care of his 8 year old asthmatic brother. He helps Willow train in hockey.
I felt bad for Brodie and his brother. It's hard to read of a parents death and the other one basically falls apart and neglects the kids. It's sad, but he did have a best friend and his family to stick up for and with him.
The little romance between Willow and Brodie was believable not as I said before... Wish it had turned out slightly different.
