Hockey player and a dr.

I loved the hockey part of the book. I don't like the part where she told him she didn't like hockey. What I mean is she should of said. I know nothing about hockey would you teach me. She explained her past she could of enjoyed hockey on tv and such without ever going to the rink. It was ok. I've read better. As a dr. I thought she was a wonderful character

Interesting Storyline

I enjoy a good hockey romance and had high hopes for this story, but it feel short of my expectations.
The characters started out interesting and the story had potential, but I felt like it was redundant especially about her phobia. Definitely not a book I will read again.

Since I'm a hockey mom, the title of this book hooked me. The heroine doesn't like hockey (yes, hard to imagine), and has a profound fear of the game from a childhood trauma. The hero has his own set of problems, but somehow they connect. It's an entertaining read.

This was a great book that combined the game of hockey and the medical knowledge. I could totally relate to the fear of watching the game and the fact that everyone loves the game. The characters are fun. I also enjoyed the medical knowledge in the story.

A lovely book!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this novel wasn't just a run of the mill romance! There was a lot of meat and intrigue, even a little heart-pounding suspense! Though it was fast-paced it was believable. The writing was excellent and the fact the the author works in health care was evident with the descriptive dialogue. I look forward to reading more by this talented author!
