Cold-Hearted Players #1
Dirty Hit
Legends are made, not born, and I carved mine on ice...
They call me The Hitman. The NHL's dirtiest player. The ender of careers.
On the ice, I'm unapologetically ruthless.
Off the ice, I'm worse.
All it takes is one pissed off message from a stunningly beautiful fan after a brutal game and I'm knocked off balance.
Suddenly, I'm stalking.
Watching.
Obsessed.
Cassidy thinks she knows danger? She hasn't met me yet.
Her ties to Roman Morozov, my on-ice nemesis, only heightens the thrill of the chase.
Stealing his girl is just the beginning.
When our worlds collide at her bar, she issues a challenge that I can't refuse: One game to score a hat trick.
When I do it, she'll be mine.
She's my prize—my fixation.
I'll make her mine, even if it means embracing a new level of darkness. There's nothing I won't do to keep her... and when she finds out what I've done, she'll realize that she's in deeper than she ever imagined.
Dirty Hit is a dark hockey stalker romance with a long list of triggers. PLEASE take them seriously. This series features lots and lots of dirty hockey players willing to sell their souls to win.

About the author
Heather Ashley
25 books674 followersHi! I’m Heather.
It’s great to meet you! I’m a socially-awkward introvert who loves love stories. I’m not awesome at singing or keeping my house clean, but I somehow find the time to obsessively read romance novels. I consider it one of my many talents.
In my opinion, you can never have too many books (or french fries…), messy buns are a girl’s best friend, and I’d probably die without my laptop. If I wasn’t over-committing myself to future stories or procrastinating to meet my deadlines, I’m not quite sure what I’d do with myself.
Be sure to find all sorts of sneak peeks and my more than likely cuss-word filled rantings over on the blog. Oh, and if you’re a fan of getting in the mood to read and connecting to the characters that way, check out the playlists that accompany each story in the “Playlists” tab.
Peace, love, and abs for days.

‼️Reread with the new Audiobook 🎧 01/16/24
3stars for the audio⭐️⭐️⭐️
-The female narrator just didn’t work for me.
She comes across as pretentious, angry and her reading is abrupt. Gah I really didn’t like her or think it fit the character.
-The male voice was great!
♥️Still a great 5 star book loads of sexy times bordering on smut. Love it.
ORIGINAL REVIEW-
5 OTT JP OBSESSED CRAZY FUN STARS
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the book
“I don't even know her name, but I'm going to find out. Then I'm going to hunt her down and make her choke on her words. Or my dick. It’s still a toss up at this point.”
👀 He is the HITMAN of hockey. Always making shady plays and giving Zero fucks. But when a hot little number DM’s him a rant about his playing he can’t help but want to prove her wrong. Let the games begin!
‼️H that’s unhinged from the start
‼️Stalking
‼️Cat and mouse games throughout
‼️Piercings
‼️OTT JP Craziness
‼️Insta-obsession
‼️MINE MINE MINE
‼️Touch her and die
‼️Breeding at any cost
‼️Questionable morals to lock her down
‼️Hockey player / Hockey bar owner
❣️Things I Liked/Loved❣️
💯This whole book! It was so much fun from beginning to end. I was maybe a bit long but I still really enjoyed it.
Definitely some nonsensical antics and loads of sex. But I just went with it cause it was entertaining as fuck.
Things I Did 💔 Not Like
❌I hate when the h pride and stubbornness causes her to make stupid decisions and put her safety on the line. She had some no so smart moments.
🥀 Hero:
Hayden-
The Hitman of Hockey and a bad boy
❤️OBSESSED with the h from first looks and never looks at another after.
💯Willing to play VERY DIRTY to get his woman.
❤️He was just completely unhinged for her
❤️He also is vulnerable with her and I love that with all his craziness and dominance he was soft for ONLY her as well.
😂Loved his relationship with his brother
🦋 Heroine:
Cassidy-
-Owns a Hockey bar
-Dated a Hockey player who cheated so now she is off Hockey players.
-She’s a Cam girl on OnlyFans to make money to pay off her cheating ex.
-Sassy and feisty and a perfect match for the H.
💭 POV:
First person duel
😡/😍 Angst level:
Medium low
❤️🔥 Sex & Burn Rate:
Fast! They are explosive 💥
Tons of chemistry 😮💨 and lots of fun hot sexy times 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🌓 Push/Pull:
Yes mostly from h to H. But it’s a game to them. It’s very much cat and mouse. They purposefully push each others buttons to get a reaction. The H is the main pursuer and does LOTS of mortally gray things to get and trap the h. But she also kinda likes it 🫣.
☠️ OW/OM Drama:
OMD- her cheating ex who is on the same team as the H wants her back. He causes problems for them both. She also owes him $20,000 and he is holding it over her.
OMD- her ex kidnaps her and stalks her and try’s to SA her but she gets free before that happens
OWD- a girl hits on the H in a bar. He lets her touch his shoulder and whisper in his ear to get the h jealous but he has zero interest in OW . He wants to see if she will fight for him and it’s also a bit of payback for her wearing her ex jersey to the game…… like I said they play lots of games.
OW- a new girl who works for the h has her eyes set on the H and does some stuff to get him but it doesn’t work and he definitely isn’t interested.
🤮 OW/OM Sex / Fluid or DNA Exchange:
No…. Absolutely once they meet there is no OP for either and would never be.
🤬 Cheating:
Gosh NO he would NEVER‼️
👰🏼♀️ Virgins:
No
-He did ONS before the h. Not a manwhore but definitely highly experienced.
-She had boyfriends in the past most recently his teammate she dated for a year before the H came onto the team. She also had a BF when she was younger who burned her house down after she broke up with him and it killed her parents and twin brother😢….. she kinda attracts crazy.
⛈️Separation/ 3rd Act Breakup:
No! Once these two are together nothing can tear them apart.
Safety⚠️Triggers🗡️:
-Cheating ex
-Stalking
-Breeding/ messing w condoms
-He drugs her so he can tattoo her, and also sleep w her without a condoms and kidnap her
-Secretly feeds her fertility drugs
-She revenges him w The little blue pill 🤣
-Loads of MORALLY gray antics
-attempted murder
-Murder and violence
-Attempted SA from her ex
🌈Epilogue:
6 months later married and pregnant
🥂HEA:
Definitely ❤️
❌My opinion is just that… MY OPINION.❌

4.5 ⭐️
I had so much fun reading this one. Was it a little bit too long!? Maybe, but I felt the pace was fine, I loved all the banter and the moments where they got back at each other 😂😂🤭. In the end, they were both cray cray.
There are dark elements / activities in this read, but it was on the sweet dark side of these books!? At least, that's how I see it 🤭😂👀. He was definitely a huge red flag walking, but only for her 🤭🥰🥹. In any case, everyone has different triggers, so please check the TW on the author's website before picking the book.
He instantly developed an obsession for her, and he did everything he could (played dirty on any plan, of course) to make her his. He was used to playing dirty since that's how he also played hockey. He definitely didn't like to lose.
While she often suffered from the betrayal body syndrome 😂 she didn't relent easily. She actually fought back, was a brat sometimes, and sassed him, pocking the bear and knowing she was going to be punished 🤭😂. But she also had some moments when she got her revenge in some situations, and it was just perfect 😂.
I was content with the dangerous part of the plot, being her EX cheating boyfriend, i.e., one of the current teammates of the MMC. The danger was real. He was deranged, but in a negative way. Hayden really got his hands red while protecting her and their precious cargo 🥰🥹🥹.
** possible small spoilers **
What to expect
- OTT, obsessed, little bit of a stalker situation, MMC
- different types of BC tempering 🫣
- they both end up with eachother name tattooed on themselves (not gonna say how ... you guys need to read the book 🤭)
- no V
- 🍞ing
- surprise pregnancy (for her at least 😂)
- she's IT for him, no doubts here; and the other way around
- quite spicyyy; pierced 🐓
- no cheating between the main characters
- double POV; there were a lot of chapters in his POV, and I loved that 👀🩶
I'm not sure what their ages were, I suppose mid 20s to late 20s.
I loved his teammates and also his brother. Hope we will get his book as well.
A few things bothered me
- the fact that she had this tendency to pick up pshychos as her boyfriends; I mean, learn from your mistakes, girl!! Hayden is basically her 3rd psycho, but finally, the good one 😂; pfiu, she finally broke the negative chain 😂🥰🥵
- I hated the part where she basically assaulted that chick that was making googly eyes and touching Hayden; I understand she was jealous and maybe also a little bit extremely jealous, just like him, but hello, her reaction was insane!! 😬
- I wanted a little bit more details, more focus, on what happened exactly with her family so that she could properly heal with the MMC'S help
- she continued the OF content throughout her pregnancy!? And he actually was on board!? Sounds quite not in his character this decision, since he's so possessive of her; I understand that he wanted to support her in having her autonomy, but her sports bar and extended restaurant would have been enough for this; maybe, I don't know
- I can't believe she didn't know he was taking the condom off / not wearing one from the start; I get it once or twice, but so many times: nnnaaah, I don't buy it 😂
Nevertheless, this read was entertaining!
I will continue the series. Can't wait for Kingston's story. The way he was so serious and unfazed by what happened at the end of the book made me curious about his past! His book will definitely be interesting!
.
.
"But it wouldn't be us if it wasn't a fight.
He's not above playing dirty to get what he wants, but then, neither am I."
--> That's them throughout the book, fight fight fight, get back at each other, make up 🔥🥵, rinse, and repeat 😂😍😍

Hands down, Hayden is 🚩🚩🚩🚩 AND I LOVE IT!!
Now he does stuff that makes you go wait. Is this too far?!? Should I run away from him (in rl, yes) in this world, heck no!! He's obsessed, possessive, cocky and delicious!!
Him and Cass first meet when she sends him a mean dm about he sucks and a douche so what does he do? Gets traded to her city because them games are starting heheh he knows where she works, her apartment, and he's already invested in his woman. Cass doesn't want anything to do with him because she has bad taste in men, and hockey guys tend to cheat on her. Her ex is a throne in her side because she owes him money. So he's like a std who doesn't leave. But that doesn't stop Hayden he's going to make sure Cass ends up his woman. He also stars in her OF with her to make extra money.;) she also teases and taunts him when she does soli videos to rile him up, lol.
Oh, don't worry, they are both one up one another with the games they play. Beside the chemistry between them, they are so good together it does take Cass a little more time, but she loved how Hayden was with her since day one. Don't worry the bad guys get there. 🥰
I love that Hayden and his friendship with his new team is cool, and Hayden and his brother relationship.
Safety wise- h ex tries to cause problems, but MMC doesn't give him the time of day, we do get fans flirting but the Mains only get jelly, but nothing happens. h does have a OF she did solo and does a couple of videos with her and H.
Tiny ow/Om drama (ex bf) cheating ( not between h/H),slight secondary character, drama, sexy times, no virgins

Hmm, audiobooks do make a difference 🤔
This is book is both a poor man's Dom and a trashy version of The Pucking Wrong Date, yet I still enjoyed it?

📝 REVIEW & THOUGHTS:
I couldn’t. I had to DNF @24% cause it’s just not for me. Everything is just so over the top without feeling any kind of connection between the MCs.
The way the book started, it had me annoyed already. I dunno why, but the initial interaction/communication irked me. Like, of course he’s a manwhøre, but all of a sudden he’s obsessed with a girl that insulted him via DMs? 🙄
This is like any other book I’ve read before with a cocky and so full of himself previously manwhøre MMC, and the FMC wants him but she keeps fighting back and is sassy 🙄 I’m sorry but my eyes hurt from how many times I rolled them.
🏷️ TROPES & TAGS (possible spoilers):
Genre/subgenre: darkish sports romance
Pairing: MF
POV: 1st person, dual
Angst: low until 24%
Burn: fast
Vibe/mood: darkish, OTT
Pet names: princess
Characters’ ages: not mentioned, but I assume in their mid to late 20s
HEA: don’t know, DNF @24%

Hockey player
Manwhøre turned obsessed (🙄)
Cam girl
OTT obsessed and possessive MMc
🌶️ SPICE & K!NKS (possible spoilers):
Heat: 4 scenes, medium to high heat (until 24%)
Mastūrbatıon
Jerkıng off

⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGS (‼️possible spoilers‼️):
Dubcon: yes
Noncon: technically no, but on the line between dubcon and noncon depending on who’s reading I guess
Breakup: don’t know, DNF
OM/OW: don’t know, DNF
Stalkıng
Mentions of dead family members
Asshøle cheating ex
MC sneakily removes the cøndom to breēd her (multiple times)
😤 LITTLE RANT (‼️spoilers‼️):
I don’t even know how many eye rolls I did before hitting the 20% mark. And HOW THE FŪCK DIDN’T SHE REALIZE HE CAME IN HER WITHOUT THE CONDOM. LIKE, IT LEAKES OUT FOR FŪCK’S SAKE. And you smell different when that happens, I can’t be the only one thinking this, please! Tell me I’m not 😭
💬 QUOTES (‼️possible spoilers‼️):
Do you see my eye roll? 🙄
All of this just from two DMs? 🙄🙄
“My” girl?! Damn you didn’t even talk to her man!
Babe you don't have his nr...it's instagram!!
Another eye roll 🙄
An orgasm that blows minds... through jeans?! how does that work? asking for a friend... (another eye roll 🙄)
* Fyi about 🌶️ levels: I rate spice on a combination of quantity, quality, length, intensity and explicitness of the scenes. Kınks are listed separately and generally do not directly affect the steam level to keep it fair for non kınky books.

💬 QUOTES (‼️possible spoilers‼️):
I know it's insane. It's not like me to be transfixed like this, at least not with a person. Hockey? Sure. But a girl? I’ve never allowed it before. Fuck and bail, that’s my M.O.
Do you see my eye roll? 🙄
There's something about her I can't get out of my head. I need to know every single thing about her. To make her see that I’m more than some asshole she hates. Make her mine in a way she can’t run from. Force her to see me.
All of this just from two DMs? 🙄🙄
The second I step foot in Seattle, the hunt to find my girl begins,
“My” girl?! Damn you didn’t even talk to her man!
I'm just about to block his number and delete his message
Babe you don't have his nr...it's instagram!!
"Just a beer," I say, giving her my best smile, the one that never fails to make panties drop.
Another eye roll 🙄
She tries to bite back her moan as I rub her clit faster, but I feel it against my fingers anyway. Her hips rock against my hand as she gets closer and closer to an orgasm that's going to blow her fucking mind. And right before she falls, I stop.
An orgasm that blows minds... through jeans?! how does that work? asking for a friend... (another eye roll 🙄)

Ended up loving it!
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trope: stalker, forced pregnancy
Angst: 😱😱1\2
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I actually stopped reading this book the first time about 30 pages in. I'm a huge fan of both hockey and stalker romances, but for some reason I was having a hard time giving with the writing and the characters. I am SO glad I ended up giving it another try. Great story with tons of laugh out loud moments and some great twists. I needed up really loving both MCs and the writing seemed to settle and click for me. I love this world she has built and I'm already super invested for the next book. Can't wait!!

Wow just wow I could not put this down absolutely loved Hayden’s crazy. he’s obsessed with cass from the moment she’s dropped into his dm’s calling him out about how he plays hockey.
Once Hayden loses his space on his current team he transfers to her home town so he can stalk and claim her. He wants her and not even she can’t stop him from having her.
He legit tattoos her 🐱as a punishment
She loves to get her own payback though she’s no soft h and stands up to him…..well tries to but he just bulldozes everything 😂
All I’ll say on one thing is little blue pill 😂😂😂 it had me LOLing so hard
Hayden is pure hotness and he really no hero more like villain but he’s pure perfection.
I loved everything about this book it’s everything I loved wrapped up in an amazing book I devoured it. I loved the character building for side characters and the other player that have Hayden back and looking forward to kingstons book next but I loved sawyer Hayden’s brother and hope he gets a book soon.

Another one bites the dust...
Immediately the MMC is obsessed with the FMC - there's literally no build up at all. The writing was immature and it really just made the MMC extremely immature. I didn't really get far enough in to get to know the FMC yet but I didn't really care.
Lori - 2 down, 3rd times the charm??

This was SO much fun!!! I went into this book completely blind and had no idea we were getting such an unhinged and obsessed MMC. He was fantastic. He literally chose Seattle as the city to get traded to because of a single instagram message from the FMC and her tiny profile pic. Man was all in from that encounter 😅😅
"No, I mean like... he kidnapped me and tattooed his name on me while I was asleep. That kind of insane."
The FMC is equally awesome. She gave just as much and didn't let him get away with anything. She loved to make him go crazy lol. They had a great cat/mouse dynamic going. Usually those never do it for me, but it worked great here.
"It’s like he forgot the girl he married because I’ve already got ideas spinning through my head about how to get my payback. I’m not going to walk away, not when the asshole made me love him. But I am going to fuck with him right back."
They were really such a perfect match. Make sure you check your TWs because this book has ALLLL the red flags.
I will say, with how posessive and obsessive this man was, and even though he hated her only fans account, he didn't let her delete when another guy forced her into the choice under the circumstances. He always has her back and just wants her happy 😭
"I'm not letting you give up your dreams because of Morozov. Fuck that." He shakes his head and then leans forward to press a kiss on the tip of my nose. "Did I hate the idea of you showing a bunch of horny guys what belongs to me? Yes. Do I still hate it? Also yes. But that doesn't mean I want you to stop doing something you want to do just because some asshole is trying to ruin you."
Literally I loved this couple!! Highly recommend!!
only negative is that the book was slightly too long. Might have been a four star if I didn't do so much on audio. The audio was fantastic, and I didn't mind it being too long because the MMCs narration was delicious. So, 5 stars, it is 😊

"Hayden's possessive, but then so am I. We have that toxic co-dependency vibe going on and honestly, I'm living for it."

Well. This was exaggerated to the point that it was ridiculous lol😂 But still a decent read ig. Docking one star because it was wayyyyy too long and I found myself constantly getting bored and watching puppy videos instead🥹🫣 Also I hate catty bitches that like to fight other women for no reason😒 Overall, a nice read with an OTT J/P hero with a dose of breeding kink!
safety squad:
- slight OW drama (h gets jealous when an OW talks to the H while putting her hand on his shoulder and practically drags her by the hair outside and almost fights her. there's also a scene in the beginning where the H's teammates shows him a nude of his previous hookup but the H says he's shocked that he feels "nothing" despite the "hotness" of the woman and her "banging tits." The h's employee tries to get with the H but he doesn't even notice her. no major drama overall)
- OM drama (h's ex who is a hockey player for the same team as the H tries to get back with her despite having cheated on her. H gets jealous)
- OTT J/P + possessive H
- forced marriage
- breeding kink/forced breeding
- somnophilia + drugging (to get the h preggo)
- unhinged/obsessed H (there's no else for him ever since he first chats/lays eyes on the h)
- HEA with twins on the way

3.5 - 4 stars!
Dirty Hit gave S. Massery hockey god feels in all the best ways.
A completely unhinged hero that has no boundaries and will quite literally do anything to possess his girl.
A kinda annoying heroine that might be just as crazy but in this story it just worked. Smutty, a little angsty and a little suspenseful. This was fun.

🏒 hockey romance
🚩 dark & toxic
"You should know what’s about to happen, so here it is—you're going to fall in love with me, have my babies, and give me the rest of your days. Minimum. I won't accept anything less."
What in the hell LMFAO I picked this up because I really didn’t know what to read but I wanted hockey so I picked a book off my tbr without reading the synopsis. I just rolled with the crazy tho and had fun! Very entertaining.
Hayden is the biggest, fattest red flag. He’s fuckin insane. But there’s just something about him🤭 and then Cassidy meets his freak and it was all just great.

June 14, 2024In the past two days I've read Knight by KA, Little dove and little Sunshine by Layla Frost. Having loved those books I asked for recs similar to it and thus was recommended.
You know how they say there's a difference between new money and old money? This is the new money version of those books. Yes the H is j/p but that's it..... he's also a clingy, immature, pompous asshole with anger issues abd low impulse control!!! How could this book even be considered in the same category as my previous reads I have no clue. This isn't for me

He was great but she was super annoying and I did not like how he let other people watch them have sex. She could have done so many other things to make money. He should have been more possessive and said no no cameras. I like the mindset of him but I found her boring and undeserving of him.
Loved the tropes but disappointed in the female lead and how she just forgives him instantly once he tells her she is pregnant she pretends to be mad but is not actually mad she is disappointing.

It could be for you, but only if you want zero chemistry, absent logic, no plot, instalust and just straight up dumb, depthless characters.
I was not having fun, I was feeling awkward, lost & confused so I dipped ✌🏻

⚠️CHECK THE TW'S BEFORE YOU START READING THIS BOOK.
Another one in the long list of Booktok and Facebook groups recommendations that didn't deserve the hype.
The only thing I liked about this one was the way MCs were so obsessed with each other that they were ready to do anything for each other especially the H. Hayden did really do somethings that were not morally and socially acceptable to keep Cassidy in his life and to make her his. He was possessive, obsessed, manipulative and downright psycho where Cassidy was concerned and I kind of liked it.
SPOILER ALERT‼️⚠️‼️
~ Now there were lot of things that seriously rubbed me the wrong way.~
• There's a scene where Hayden is sitting with his teammates and one of his teammates recieved nudes from a girl he met after one of his games and his teammate shows them nudes to Hayden and his other teammate. I just didn't like that. I mean why would he do that? Ohhh it made our H realise that he doesn't want anyone other than the h🙄
• There's another scene where Cassidy beats up a woman who approached Hayden in a club (who doesn't know that he has gf) and he tries to make Cassidy jealous by talking to her and letting her touch him to see if Cassidy's gonna claim him as her or not. I mean I hated to read that a woman was treated that way bcoz two assh*les were busy playing unnecessary games with each other that had nothing to do with anyone.🙃
• Then there's a scene where Hayden's father threatens him and calls Cassidy a sex worker multiple times and not once Hayden corrects him and asks him to stop calling her that.
• And lastly, this is for people who doesn't like sharing in any kind of way or form in books so please be informed before picking up this book.
~Cassidy has an OnlyFans and Hayden is Ok with it( he does objects at first) and then he joins her and makes videos with her. I mean I do understand her wanting to be her own person and do her own thing and Hayden supporting her but IMO this OFs thing was not necessary. She starts it with the intention of earning extra money so she can pay her debt to her assh*le ex- boyfriend and to help her expand her bar into a restaurant too as her father always wanted before passing away. But it seems pointless to me bcoz she had many reasonable ways to do that. Hayden was ready to help her and she could've taken his help and returned him the money once she had that amount. And another thing was that I thought they'll stop making videos after she gets pregnant but they didn't. They continue making videos for her OF and NO this was just not it. And everyone in their friends and family circle KNEW about it too. That's why his father called her a sex worker.
~I mean don't get me wrong I don't have any problem with OF models or anything but here in this book where H was soo obsessed with her that he tattooed his name above her vag when she was sleeping and goes out of his way to make her pregnant so she couldn't leave, this OF thing just didn't feel right. And specially where everyone in their circle knew about it too. I mean it seriously gave me whiplash when he agrees to let her continue her side gig but with the condition with him joining her in the videos so everyone would know who she belongs to. I mean ik some people are exhibitioners and have exhibitionist kink but still I didn't like it. Ig it just wasn't my thing and if I'd known about this particular piece of information i wouldn't have had picked it.
~ And how did she never knew that he was taking off his condom before c*mming into her.
~ I wanted to know about her backstory and background like her family a lil bit more tbh.

I’ve honestly never read a book like this one before. a great mix of hockey and breeding put together let me tell you I’m weak finishing this. 😮💨
when the hero is that possessive and obsessed he knocks you out and drugs you with sleeping pills so he can do things to you? (now that’s something i call hot with a capital h)
some other including myself at times have found this book to be over the top but hey it’s only fictional and not real life events going on so why not fall for a guy who’s literally a walking red flag? i mean damn girl you can really pull the psychos first your ex boyfriend (eric) who burnt you house down and killed your parents there were in it. then we have (roman) who is literally the definition of psychotic and then hayden who definitely isn’t all that bad yk. (at least compared to the others) 😉
I also really hope hayden’s brother sawyer gets a book he was literally my favourite side character! 🤞🏻
thank you so much for the opportunity to be able to read this as an arc I couldn’t be more grateful. and I hope to read more arc’s from you in the future! ❤️
daddy hayden will always have a place in my dark romance heart 🖤

My Review:
If you're into obsession, manipulation, and kinks, then "Dirty Hit" by Heather Ashley is your ticket to wild town. ❤️
Let's talk about Hayden, our MMC. He's like a walking tornado of obsession, but man, did I love every bit of his craziness. Move over, Linc from "The Pucking Wrong Number," because Hayden just claimed the throne of unhinged heroes. 🌀
And then there's Cassidy, our feisty yet sweet FMC. She's the perfect match for Hayden's madness, adding a dash of spice to the mix. 💃
But hold up, can we talk about the manipulation game Hayden plays with Cassidy? It's like a twisted chess match, and Heather knows exactly how to keep you on the edge of your seat. And let's not forget about the kinks - oh boy, Heather didn't hold back on that front. It's like a buffet of all the tantalizing flavors you could ever crave. 🔥😈
Now, let me air out some grievances - Roman, I'm looking at you. I won't spoil anything, but let's just say I'm not a fan. Heather, if you're listening, I'm counting on you to spill the tea on all those intriguing side characters in your next book. ☕
"Dirty Hit" has officially earned a permanent spot on my go-to reads shelf alongside Heather's Savage Society series. If you're ready for a wild ride that'll leave you craving more, do yourself a favor and dive into this book pronto. 📚✨

~ OTT JP goodness
~ stealthing
~ forced pregnancy
~ fun heroine
~ no cheating
This is a fun book! Hayden is the PERFECT OTT JP hero and we get double the trouble with his brother Sawyer who’s just as hot and just as psycho. For you sharing or RH fans, this couple stays MF, but I can’t wait for Sawyers story because he’s bisexual so maybe we’ll get that with him.
Cassidy sends Hayden an impulsive text one night that starts his obsession and he moves to Seattle to find her. There’s also an obsessive ex of Cassidy’s that lends drama and angst. Hayden and Sawyers relationship for me was the star of the book, I just loved it. Sawyers an opportunistic deviant 😂, you’ll have to read to find out. We get one of the best wedding scenes I’ve read, humor, jealousy, drama and best of all the heroine fights fire with fire as she embraces Hayden’s psycho.
Why not 5 stars then?
There were some inconsistencies as with many stories, Cassidy felt very ho-hum for the first 50%, I felt she would have had some ptsd from previous trauma that’s glossed over and doesn’t really add to the story because it’s not explored enough. I didn’t buy into Hayden letting her post on OnlyFans with how possessive he was, so I could only give this 4.5 stars- but it’s a great read, have fun and let your 🚩fly.

This is a fun book! Hayden is the PERFECT OTT JP hero and we get double the trouble with his brother Sawyer who’s just as hot and just as psycho. For you sharing or RH fans, this couple stays MF, but I can’t wait for Sawyers story because he’s bisexual so maybe we’ll get that with him.

(3.5⭐)
This would have definitely been 4.5⭐
1. If the book was 100 pages less
2. If it was not way too much insta love
3. If some parts weren't cringe
But I did like this book, Hayden was a walking red flag who was crazily obsessed with her. There is stalking, somnophilia, breeding kink and all more things crazy!
The smut was so dirty and filthy ahh! It was so sexyyyyy!
‼️No cheating, no ow drama‼️

dark hockey romance
There’s so many things to live in this book, but some of my favorites were the OTT MMC, the banter, and everything that Hayden does to make the relationship happen. It’s well written and entertaining. If you like your hockey romances dark you need to check out Dirty Hit!

This book screamed 🚩🚩🚩 in every way possible and I’m so loving it here!!
Who would have thought the hockey guy who she dmed just to insult would become so unhealthily and unhingedly (is this even the right word lol) obsessed with her, stalked her, moved across the country to be closer to her, to find her, not for good reasons obviously, to prove her wrong and make her his.
Maybe I should take my chance with my favorite hockey player, haha kidding lol.
Anyway, this was written very nicely, the storyline flowed really well with lots of intriguing and fast-paced details and events that hold my focus from the beginning until the very end. Even from the first few lines in, I knew I was going to enjoy this and it did not disappoint me, I was hooked and couldn’t seem to put it down, it was so good!
The chemistry between Hayden and Cassidy was fire! The tension, the banters, the push and pull, cat and mouse game they had,… God they were so meant to be for each other.
I love how he just pushed and pushed and got what he wanted without even caring if it was right or wrong. Love that this book was written mostly under his povs and we could clearly see his character developed from
And I love how she fought him back literally every single time and at every chance she got, she matched his energy and vibes right away and it was insane, she was sure a badass and I really love her for that.
Moreover, I love the found family. The teammates, her friend, his brother, everyone was so supportive and hilarious. They were seriously the highlights and the perfect additions to this book. Especially Sawyer, man what I wouldn’t give to have him as my friend, I bet I’d be laughing my ass off with him all day lol.
However, there were things I didn’t really like/ wanted more:
Based on the reviews I read beforehand and the impression I had so far of her, I expected them to play this cat and mouse game for a bit longer, (at around) 15% was way too soon, in my opinion, for her to give in to him, like to do the deed and shit, like that. But I was glad that they kept it playful that way until the very end, considering in some books, the mains usually became so cheesy and corny in love once they got together that absolutely grossed me out.
Idk, while it was hot tbh, I found it unbelievable that she didn’t realize, or notice, he took off the condom and did it bare, he even came in her, multiple times and she didn’t feel that? Nah I didn’t buy it.
I was a bit disappointed tbh. He was constantly described and mentioned throughout the book as this evil cruel senator who didn’t give a shit about his children and only used them for his own good. So I was so excited to see how the brothers, especially Hayden, would handle him, but when the drama finally came, it was weak as hell, too weak for my liking. The father was like
What happened to the team after that? I think we’ll have our answer in the upcoming books, but it would have been, at least to me, nicer and more complete, to this book, for it to be covered here, even so briefly.
Overall, this was hell of a ride, I enjoyed it a lot and had so much fun. Can’t wait to see glimpses of the family in the rest of the series, tohdaloo!

“You're a fucking asshole.”
“Your fucking asshole.”

“I don’t care what it takes or who I have to hurt to get her. Cassidy Bennett is going to worship the ground I walk on, beg for my body, and submit to my every whim, and anyone who gets in my way will pay the price.”to
“There's nothing quite like the way you turn me inside out. This obsession I have for you, it's turned into so much more. You're everything, and now you're mine. Officially. Legally. Fucking irrevocably. I promise to protect you, to fight for you, and to never give up on us. You own my body, but I can't give you my soul because it's always been yours. Your name's etched into my skin and now you should know I’ll never let you go.”

“Let me take care of this mess my son”,Hayden was like
“No fuck off”,and the father was like
“You’ll regret this”then disappeared to where god knows, like he had never ever been there before. What the heck lol? Seriously what the heck?

-stealthing (removed the condom during the act and h doesn’t know)
-contraceptive tampering
-gives her fertility pills
-shoving it back in
-the 🥜 goes inside her nose matter what. If he ends up 🌰 ing on her stomach he licks it up or scoops it up and puts it back in her 🐱. This was super hot.
-Marking 🥵 This is something I love whether bites or tattoos or scars and it’s not done enough or well. This is BOTH.
