Victor by Brenda Rothert
3.0
So hot hockey star Victor is losing his edge. A chance meeting with concession worker Lindy has him back on form and an unlikely friendship develops.
This is a cinderella storyline. Lindy is the lowly, down-trodden staff member who impresses Victor with her hockey knowledge and passion. It’s a trophe which I really enjoy. I love a heroine who properly enjoys hockey and knows her stuff. I liked Lindy’s dad and their relationship. It was really sweet.
Why only three stars?
This was a sweet tale but missed the mark for me personally. It was a bit too sweet. Lindy was 23 and had never been on a date, never kissed a boy, never been asked out. This struck me as a bit unreal.
Victor just wants to be friends for a large portion of the book which meant no hot bits until over 60% of the way through. Then it all felt a bit PG. it just wasn’t hot. I was gutted that the author kind of rushed through the beginning of Lindsy’s sexual awakening.
The h’s first ever orgasm is mentioned in passing. IN PASSING! you wait 23 years for it and it’s mentioned like you just went to Target for some shopping!
This book could been so much better to my mind. It just never quite engaged me.
