Killing It!

Badges on Ice #2

by Nicky Arden

Will she put him in the penalty box?

Nate Vargas loves two things: flying and hockey. His gift for invention and saving bankrupt companies has made him a billionaire, but his best challenges are piloting a small plane through difficult conditions and getting the puck past a strong defense. When his company considers acquiring a failing Alaskan airline, Nate decides he’s the very man to study the business—from the pilot’s seat.

Clare Lindgren’s family has run Midnight Sun Air for decades. Now the financially strapped airline is struggling to stay airborne. Her new pilot is too hot for his own good—or hers— but he's a welcome distraction from the disturbing revelations about a trusted employee.

Nate is falling for his sexy boss, but if she finds out who he really is, she might put him in the penalty box.

When a crash leaves them stranded in the bush, Nate and Clare must depend on each other to survive. Or will it be game over before they’ve even begun?

Killing it! is book 2 in the Badges on Ice Hockey Romance series, but each story can be read alone.

Killing It by Nicky Arden
Badges on Ice Series Book Two
Nataniel “Nate” Vargas is a billionaire…and he’s bored. When his company thinks about buying a flagging airline in Alaska, he decides to fly down there himself to check it out. Nate doesn’t expect to find a beautiful woman there. And he sure found a cure for his boredom.
Clare Lindgren loves flying as a bush pilot. Her grandparents started the airline, and she came to live with them after her parents’ death. Neither her nor her grandma, Laurie, realized the airline was in trouble. And of course, she had no idea who Nate, in truth, is…as he was just a bush pilot she hired. Or so she thought.
Great storyline and characters. And as usual…holding back the truth, even as omission, never ends well.

Picked this up shortly after finishing the first book in the series. The resolution made me feel uncomfortable. Putting Clare on the spot first with the newspaper ad and then with the video game and implying at all that her company was on the line really irked me. The ad wasn't phrased as an opportunity for her to listen to his deal, it was phrased as though the winner would own the company. And with the town so small, and the idea of rampant gossip and everyone being in each other's pocket underlined already, centering this attempt to win her over in the public eye felt...uncomfortable. I enjoyed everything up to the final resolution though... but I'm still not sure I'll pick up the third book.

Meh kon mn aandacht er niet echt bijhouden. Heel voorspelbaar en te cliché
