Strike: Blake's Homecoming
It was easier to keep him at a distance—or so she thought.
Jessica O’Reilly has a lot of regrets in life. Even though it meant she had to give up her dream of art school, though, she refuses to regret the one night of passion she spent with her best friend’s older brother, Blake, four years ago. Why? Because otherwise she wouldn’t have her amazing, if precocious, daughter. A famous hockey player, Blake’s been out of the picture. Well, he was never really in the picture in the first place. She never found the words to tell him, and he never asked. What will she do when he comes back to town for his sister’s wedding, and her secret is in danger of being exposed?
Blake Mathews has it all—a dream career, an endless supply of women, and the adoration of the nation. So why does a part of him feel hollow inside? When he heads back to his old hometown for his sister’s wedding, it starts to become clear. The girl who broke his heart, the girl he left behind, calls to him like a beacon. Too bad she seems determined not to let him get close.

I was very disappointed in this book. I was waiting for more on Jessica and Blakes story. She just kind of left it. Like almost like jumping off a cliff and not knowing what happened. I thought there would be more instead of 3 more bonus stories.

This was a really quick read. The only problem I had with the book was that I wanted more out of it, the characters were great. The story wasn't rushed by any means it just left me wanting more I want to know what Blake's family thought of Jessica keeping Bridget a secret for 3+ years.

the most disappointing book I've ever read. It takes about 5 minutes.from beginning to end, before you see The End. WTF!
I would not even waste my time choosing other books by this author. That's how disappointed I am.

This was a very short story. It's a good premise and I think it could be a really good book. Jessica had a hot night with her best friend's older brother. She ended up pregnant soon after graduating high school. Blake became a hockey star and she didn't want to ruin his life. She gave up her dream to go to art school to raise her little girl. The town treated her poorly because she wouldn't tell anyone who the father was.
