We first met Dax in the first book of the series which was Reed's romance with Quinn. Dax was the younger brother who was in a funk about his girlfriend moving away. And Reed believed himself too damaged to be allowed to fall in love and helped him make a move on Quinn. However that did not work out and Reed did get his girl. What about poor Dax?
In a family of brilliant and passionate people he is the ordinary one. The dumb jock on ski patrol. The party boy who makes things fun. Unfortunately that's not how he wants the rest of his life to be. Already a bit discontent with the way things were he makes a life changing decision when he gets buried in an avalanche.
How serious is he about turning his life around does not make the story though..it's about how he wants Lexi to become less serious and have fun. The two come across as opposites, but balance is important in life.

A risky and steamy read!
An avalanche leading to Dax's near-death experience - changes your perspectives on life.
A near-death experience...
A passionate kiss...
'Fun' lessons given to a rule follower...
What could possibly happen? Well, you have to read to find out.
"Sometimes taking a big chance is worth the risk." This quote pretty much sums up the book. Such an incredible book! Loved getting into the player's head - getting to know him. So interesting!

Perfect for readers of contemporary romance/small town romance.

Small town romance..HEA..Ski patrollers
Dax works with the ski patrol. He is a major Player till his near death experience after being buried by an avalanche.
There are a lot of twists and turns and major secrets. Mothered is a co worker who's liked him for a long time. She won't get involved with a player. She has major life or death issues with her mother.
This book moves along. I found it totally believable.
I'm glad Dax got the chance to grow and re evaluate his life and his bed hopping non commitment ways.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I was given.
I can't wait to read more books by the author.
I just found a new author I really enjoy
