Hard Hitter
by Sarina Bowen
I quite enjoyed this standalone book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series.
Ari is the professional hockey team’s massage therapist/yoga instructor. Patrick O’Doul is the aging (for hockey), brooding, introverted team captain. Both of them have trust issues, so it was interesting seeing how they navigated those barriers brick by brick. I would have liked more exploration of how Patrick’s past influenced his current mentality. I still enjoyed the contrast between their personalities, though, as well as O’Doul and Ari’s somewhat reluctant, surprising romance.
There is an added mystery and conflict between Ari and her vicious ex boyfriend that adds some appealing intrigue to the story. I was quite fond of Patrick’s goofy teammates. Ari’s budding friendship with Becca and Georgia is also fun.
I’m fascinated by Nate, the team’s owner, and I love what I’ve seen so far from Becca, his personal assistant. I’ve heard they have their own story, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
