Zoe, a rookie FBI agent meets her brothers hockey friend Parker at his barbecue. They have a one night stand, and Zoe finds evidence that Parker may be involved in some side sport betting. She leaves without saying goodbye and ends up, turning the evidence in that would eventually ruin Parker‘s reputation and his NHL hockey career. Six years later he’s now started a hockey training camp with her brother Ben and Zoe brings her son Owen to the camp for the summer. Zoe has some secrets that she doesn’t want Parker to know and she is trying to protect her son. When Parker get approached again by the gangster who set him up the first time he needs Zoe’s help to clear his name and put this guy jail. This was an easy and quick read. I enjoyed the story.

Great short, hot read.

Now this is a second chance romance I can get in board with! Poor Parker didn’t deserve that heat!
I love the HEA and that they worked together to figure out who framed him all those years ago. Spice was good 🥵 I love a secret baby trope and damn did she keep that secret well hidin!

FBI agent in training Zoe meets one of her brother’s friends who also happens to play for the NHL at a barbecue and sparks fly between the two with instant chemistry. One thing leads to another between Zoe and Parker and they heat up the sheets one night. However Zoe stumbles upon some incriminating evidence of Parker being involved in an illegal gambling ring that she is currently investigating. Instead of digging deeper, she takes the evidence she finds, and turns it in which advances her career and destroys Parker’s career at the same time. However, Zoe doesn’t realize that she is leaving with a special “souvenir” from the game.
There is a time jump, where Zoe reappears back in Parker’s life at a hockey training camp that he runs for youth. But Zoe is not the only thing to reappear as danger and secrets, threatened to pull them apart once again.
I really enjoyed the story as it was a quick read. The only part I did not like was how quickly forgiveness was given when the circumstances were life altering and very impactful. Really can’t say much else without giving away the story in spoilers. I enjoyed all of the characters including Zoe’s brother Owen, who was there for Parker when his life went up in flames. That is the sign of true friendship and I love seeing that in stories.

4.5* - Rounded up to 5...
Zoe is looking at moving up within the FBI, and she gets a GREAT chance when she's put on a task force investigating a betting ring for professional sports. She also meets Parker, a professional hockey player with the NHL through her brother, Ben, but when they hit it off, and end up together in Parker's apartment, she finds proof that helps her break the case wide open, but paints his as guilty.
6 years later, she finds out that Parker is now co-coaching at the her Brother's Hockey Camp when he ends up as the coach for her 5 year-old son, Owen, at the camp.
And when a dive and fact-check brings up that Parker was NOT in fact guilty, she has to decide how to deal with the truth, including who Owen's father is.
I enjoyed the intrigue, and the way that Zoe stood up for the truth, regardless of how it might have affected her career. Parker was a really great coach for the kids, and I appreciated how he dealt with the situation.
A really enjoyable, quick read.

Zoe is an FBI trainee at Quantico when she goes to a BBQ at her brother’s house one summer night. Her brother who works for the Caps has some players there and one asks for her number. This player happens to have some shady friends who want him to do some bad things but he refuses, later when he and Zoe hook up she finds evidence of the crimes they want him to be a part of and she peace outs with pictures of it to make her first big break in a case. Six years later after his career is over and he’s rebuilt and she has his five year old son that she never told him about they run into each other again. Drama ensues.
The storyline was pretty interesting, kind of predictable but a really interesting premise. Great spice throughout and I really like the character development, I just wish it wasn’t wrapped up quite so perfectly. I’m ready for a whole book of him at the Rangers and then trying to figure out their new life together! Let’s go!

Shady Shot by My Secret Baby Daddy was a quick read but had a lot of the story glossed over. While there's a happily ever after I couldn't get vested in these characters. I liked them individually but couldn't picture them together.
There are secrets and misunderstandings and a lack of communications after they initially meet at her brother's BBQ and have a one night stand. There's also no communicating when they seem to be getting along when they unexpectedly meet up years later with her five year old son in tow. We learn about their lives in the interim slowly but too many details are left out. There are still secrets along with a major surprise. But where was the anger and frustration on Parker's part? Zoe is forgiven even when it seems she's the reason his hockey career tanked. The happily ever after was sweetly portrayed but was too rushed for my liking.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 🌶️🌶️
A FBI agent who wants to make the world a better place. A NHL star who immediately goes for what he wants. A one night stand that changes both their lives forever (even though one doesn’t know it yet).
Parker and Zoe are two characters that I loved reading about in this short story from Livvy. And although this story is short, Livvy does not skimp on the spice, drama, and romance that make her stories such fun reads.
Six years ago, Parker and Zoe met and shared a great night together. Due to an assumption, Zoe brings Parker’s NHL career to a screeching halt. Present day, Zoe is going to visit her brother and her son is attending his hockey camp he puts on. Parker is her brother’s partner, but neither of them know they are about to come face to face with each other again.
Feelings rush back, maybe they never went away, but how does she tell Parker about his son after six years of no contact? As Parker and her son bond over hockey, it becomes more and more real she needs to tell him and soon.
A short, quick read that still has you swooning, hoping for the best, and hating miscommunication tropes because they couple could have had six more years together if they had just talked that night!
As always, review any trigger warnings before reading

This is the third book I’ve read by this author and it definitely won’t be the last. This book has a few of my favourite troops: brothers best friend, forbidden romance, secret baby and a strong single mom.
I loved how Parker completely turned his life around from being the party animal and womanizing person to working hard to clean up his image and be a better person. I really loved how when Zoe saw something wasn’t adding up she stepped up to investigate and make it right. I adored how Parker offered a hockey camp for youngsters and always got down to their level to chat with them. *swoon* I appreciated how Zoe came clean about Parker being a dad and why she didn’t tell him about it.
This book was awesome and I couldn’t put it down. I loved reading this book and hope you do too!

First of all how amazing is the cover, his gorgeous eyes seem to follow wherever you go, wow. This short hockey story contains two very likeable MCs. Zoe a trainee FBI agent and Parker a hockey player. They meet at her brothers bbq and their attraction is instant. They go out and hit it off in more ways than one. Unfortunately Zoe finds incriminating evidence of illegal activities at Parkers thus ending this relationship. Yrs later life has changed for both of them, their attraction still strong but when Parker’s past comes back to cause more trouble will Zoe help him or leave again? Will he accept her 5 yr old secret? Great read.

This book could have been better I liked it until the 2nd to last chapter it could have been so much better if it had two more chapters and actually showed Owen reaction and the writer left her brother reaction out and other then that the writer did put that guy getting arrested but didn’t state the whole background I just wish it would have been better but other then that this book was good and definitely made you keep reading but I wish it just kept up with it by adding a few more or three more chapters.

I have read some hockey love stories. I enjoyed reading them, but after reading this book, it changed. I like that Zoe knew her mistake and she had wanted to make it right. Parker was a victim of the crime and gossip. He was a playboy and party boy, but he changed his life to do better. Even after all the secrets Zoe kept from him. He still loved her and let the past go. I like the twist of one night stand to a secret child and a second chance for both of them. I enjoyed the book and look forward to more.

However a chance to prove herself at the FBI proves too tempting for Zoe. Unfortunately facts were not checked properly and Parker becomes the fall guy. Years later when they run into each other and facts are revealed. Zoe is determined to fix her mistake and with Parker's help, she does. I liked that Parker and Zoe are able to continue their interrupted relationship.

Zoey is an FBI agent. At a party she meets Parker, her brother’s best friend and a hockey player. Sparks fly between them. Zoey’s desire to get ahead results in Parker’s world crashing down. Several years later, Parker and Zoey reconnect while Zoey is visiting. The chemistry is still there…but Zoey is keeping a huge secret.
This was a quick read. It’s well written and fast paced. It’s a shorter story, so some details are glossed over. If you like hockey romance, brother’s best friend, and secret babies, this is a must read.

I truly enjoy Livvy Stone's books, but this one is by far my favorite. It has drama, Zoe and Parker are totally lovable, Ben is the best brother, Uncle, and friend ever, and Owen is the sweetest part of Parker and Zoe. The bad guy gets what he deserves and Zoe, Parker, Owen, and Ben get a happy ending! I love Parker and Zoe together. They make sense!! Now we need to find Ben a well deserve HEA of his own!!!.

This is Book 2 in the Hot Hockey Hunk Short Love Stories Series by this author, and can be read as a standalone. It is a second chance romance between Zoe and Parker, who had a one night stand six years ago. These flawed but likeable characters and the unique plot make for an entertaining read. Once they reconnect, it is a bumpy ride with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An engaging page turner.

The author has given us the taste of temptation with Zoe and Parker.
A well put together story of an FBI agent and a hockey player.
An instant attraction and lust wrapped together, circumstances, miscommunication and surprises along the way.
This book has it all and you will only want more. I devoured this one rather quickly!!
Livvy Stone does Not disappoint.

A lesson in jumping to conclusions!! Parker, an NHL champion meets Zoe, his best friend, Ben's, sister who is also an FBI agent. One night together ends in a nightmare for Parker. Six years later, he sees Zoe again in Maple Falls, the small town he and Been have moved to...and she isn't alone! I felt for Parker; he never really had a chance to explain anything and lost everything! Good read.

Assuming Wrong
Generally, I enjoy a little mystery/crime solving with my romance stories, but I was conflicted about Zoe's behavior towards Parker in the beginning. The fact that she redeems herself a bit at the end was great for character development. Overall, the story was interesting, and the chemistry was pretty great.

I absolutely can't stand women who don't tell fathers about children. It's unforgivable to me. That aside, this was stupid. No huge hockey star is going to go in without protection with someone he just met. And the fact that a junior agent would just take pictures and learn and NOT ask him any questions, then go on to have his baby anyway is some kind of natalist bull.

Well written, entertaining, witty story of a hockey player and and a FBI agent. Big brother, sleezeball, electric feelings, misunderstandings, new beginnings and a five year old natural on the ice all play a part in making this a great read.
