transientmeow 's review for:

Hard Hitter by Sarina Bowen
4.0

So good! Ari and Patrick are wonderful leads, we get more interaction with the rest of the team, the hockey details are real and well-deployed, and the Brooklyn details are good too - still need to see if the One Girl Gookie bakery is real!

Loved that Patrick didn't pressure Ari at all, just supported her and let her know he cared. So nice to see a guy who would typically be "alpha" not be pushy and overbearing. And I loved reading his monologues about how he felt about his role as enforcer, and the mental toll that fighting took on him. Bowen does an excellent job writing players who feel real, and is clearly a fan of the game, and not just the hot bodies.

So looking forward to the next book, and any others in the series!
