One Shot
Falling for the widowed hockey star wasn't part of the job description
When I stepped into Liam Anderson's world as his children's nanny, I knew the
Care for his daughters, maintain boundaries, and absolutely no entanglements.
He's the Kansas City Coyotes' brooding star still haunted by his wife's death.
I'm a fresh-faced childhood education graduate with a heart too big for my own good.
His life runs on precision and emotional distance.
Mine thrives on warmth and spontaneity.
When a cartwheel diffuses a crisis and hot chocolate becomes a peace offering, something shifts between us.
One touch was a mistake. One kiss crossed every professional boundary. What happened next changed everything.
Until a crisis threatens his career — and I do the one thing I swore I'd never do.
Sometimes it takes losing everything to find what matters most. And sometimes, love only needs one shot.
A steamy, emotional pro hockey romance featuring a grumpy single dad, his sunshine nanny and the family they never knew they needed.

• felt rushed a lot of the time until the end where it dragged on
• somehow they caught feelings for each other 8% into the story
• takes place less than six months after his wife died…
• the kids ages seemed a little off as well, they maybe should have been older — at least with their personalities and the way they acted
• it just wasn’t for me :/
& unfortunately the cover is an ai version of elle kennedy’s book ‘the mistake’

For anyone that wants to read a sweet, clean book - this is not it. Just a warning. Totally my fault that I did not see where it stated there was some spicy content. However, there seem to be two different covers for this book. The one that downloaded to my kindle shows a cartoon based type of cover while the cover that displays on Amazon is definitely more adult featuring a shirtless hockey player. The download cover implies more of a clean storyline.
I would also say that I feel like this book needs some warnings with it. There is grief and the. There is GRIEF. This book dealt with GRIEF. The way the dad interacted with his two girls was so heavy, so emotional, so intense that I think people need to be made aware. Based on the content of the grief and how it is worked through - I could see it being triggered for some (and I don’t use that word often). The girls, especially the oldest, yikes. Children trying to deal with the death of a parent is hard and then you add a spouse dealing with the loss of their other half and suddenly becoming a single parent…..it’s a rough story.
The ebook has 481 pages so it is definitely not a short read. Took me a couple of sittings so just be prepared. I did think there were some sections that could have been shortened to help move the book along with I also understand why the author wrote it the way she did. Lots of emotion. LOTS.
You may want to read this in private as I had to have tissues handy in some sections.

Great story
I love the connection between sunny and Liam's children and the love that developed between Liam and Sunny. Especially loved that the story continued on into their marriage. Great characters and good storyline.

Love never ends…
What a delight to read a well composed love story that deals with issues of loss, abandonment and redemption is a companionate, caring way! I enjoyed reading this story because the story was and characters were relatable. I will be reading more from this author.

Beautifully heartbreaking
I don’t think I’ve ever read a more beautiful, heartbreaking, heartwarming story. Wonderfully written. Definitely a must read for everyone!

Since both the cover AND the author picture are AI generated, I assume the book has been written by ChatGPT as well

I really enjoyed the found family and happiness after loss elements of this book.
But struggled with the writing style and the dual pov 3rd party narration

I got sucked in by the widower trope (Sleepless in Seattle forever) but omg this was so bad. It was badly written, like cringeworthy bad and then his wife is barely gone and not even 10% into the book there's already something going on. Ughh. Nope
