Face-Off #7
Duke
Duke Baldwin is hockey royalty. The hottest player in the NHL.
And the one player I have spent way too much time fantasizing about…
After years of picturing my favorite hockey player naked, guess who shows up in my office and in need of my help? Duke is suspended for twenty games for fighting. And the team owner has given me two months to whip his broody butt into shape, or he’s trading Duke to another team.
I can’t let that happen. Not when I can help Duke work through his anger issues.
Except there’s one problem….
As we grow closer, Duke thinks I’m the cure for thawing the ice around his heart.
And he wants me.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💋💋
Moody, hard to manage quick to temper, Duke needs help.
Who better than a woman who can change not just his mood but his life if she lets him.
Great reading

Love wins
I absolutely fell in love with Duke. His anger was so strong but love prevailed. I could not and did not put this book down from start to finish. I love this series and can’t wait for Romeo

Duke Baldwin is like a ticking time bomb, and when you're a hockey player that could be considered a downfall... especially when you let it lead you to punching out an opponent and getting suspended because of it! His little incident has earned him the attention of the team owner and also an ultimatum, clean up his act or he is gone!
Which lands him on the doorstep of Dr. Lila Devine... and a little closer to a happily ever after than he ever thought he'd be!
Between the pages of Duke you will meet a man struggling with his demons, and the woman who has come into his life for the purpose of helping deal with them, but quickly finds that her presence also awakens his heart too! Watching these two tip-toe near the forbidden line while trying to maintain their professional relationship was quite entertaining. They tried hard to keep things innocent, but their attraction to one another kept luring them closer to that line, and closer to having everything they never knew they wanted. I loved what I found here, the words were addictive and heartfelt, and the characters completely stole my heart upon first meeting. This is definitely one of my favorites from Ms. Quinn to date, it was perfectly penned and so good on the heart! Highly recommend!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

My favorite one yet
I wasn't sure how to feel about Duke after what a dick he was in Dean but reading his story completely changed my mind. I loved him and Lila together. Max is a riot! Love that girl!

Okay
Had so much potential but I really struggle to like both characters. Every time I thought they’d grown up it was back to square one. The child was the most entertaining character.

Good
Another great story is a series I’m really enjoying. Enjoyed reading about characters we were briefly introduced to in previous stories.

I did not love Duke. His temper would frighten me to know him. It was not sexy.
He did need therapy and not from therapist who he sleeps with.

Great book. Love can be found in the most unusual places. Great read. Love how all of these books intertwine.
