Synopsis:
Reese Blackwood
I’m called America’s sweetheart.
They say I have the voice of an angel.
I almost gave all that up, thanks to a traumatic experience at the start of my career. Instead of letting it define me, I chose to rise above. I showed everyone what a woman on a mission could accomplish, and now I’m living my dream.
After one chance meeting, my entire world changes. Austin is every woman’s fantasy, and he wants me. While the attraction is there for me as well, I don’t need any distractions right now.
Austin Jones
Focused.
Driven.
I’m the man I am today because I never let the idea of settling down disrupt being the best I can during my hockey career.
But then Reese floats into my life and everything changes, and now all I want to do is pin her against the boards.
They say opposites attract. You can’t get more opposite than Country Music’s hottest female singer and a hockey player from Canada. With competing travel schedules, our instant attraction appears to be doomed from the start. Can it really be love? Or is it just a hot ice-melting fling?
My Review:
Genre: Romance – Sports (Hockey), Rockstar
Standalone: Yes
Part of a Series: Yes Book 5 of the Indianapolis Eagles series Each book is a standalone but as the books progress you get to see the HEA’s of earlier couples
POV: Reese and Austin
Steam Level: Slow Burn to Hot
4.5/5
Against the Boards is the fifth book in the Indianapolis Eagles series. I’ve read all fives books and love that you continue to see previous couples’ HEAs. Samantha Lind writes in a unique style that is refreshing. While she deals with life issues they are not blown out of proportion for dramatic’s sake. Against the Boards deals with one issue that is important to me. While it got a little preachy I didn’t mind since this is a message that needs to be shouted until heard. My only issue was the lack of an epilogue. However, this may change in the final version.
I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
