The Trouble with #9 by Piper Rayne

5.0

The Trouble with #9 is the second book in the new Hockey Hotties series. This writing duo certainly scored again with another steamy hockey romance. It can be read as a stand-alone but once you start the series you will want to read all the books. It was a fast-paced and easy-to-read book with wonderful characters. I was so excited to read this book after reading the prequel Countdown to a Kiss. Maksim was so hot-tempered and aggressive on the ice and I enjoyed seeing this side of him. He was sweet and tried to protect all his friends and loved ones. He was a protector by nature and felt responsible when he could not keep them safe. He let that guilt control him and his emotions. Paisley was so sweet and the perfect match for Maksim. She had her own baggage from the past that she had to overcome. The end of the book sets the stage for Ford’s story and I cannot wait for him to finally realize what he needs is right in front of him.
I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
