Ivan

As a defenseman, I have three weeks left on the Boston Bay Vikings' NHL roster. I've held this position for five years. Russia wants me back, and I don't have a choice. My mother and sister call Russia home. If I fight to stay in Boston, my family will be in danger when they go home to Moscow. I need to keep them safe.



I've worked hard to avoid the woman I love, which is why my rage comes to the surface so quickly. Now, my teammates tell me, Payton needs my assistance to stay safe. My girl is scared and has nowhere to go because the man who hurt her is out on bail.



Payton

Being left for dead has changed me. I mean, it would change anyone. But now I'm afraid of my own shadow, which is frustrating. I used to be independent, at least when Danny wasn’t around. All I want to do is find a safe place where I won’t have to leave.



To my surprise the man I’ve gradually fallen in love with comes to my aid. He offers me a place to live and protection, but he warns me that he will not give me his heart. I can do that without him discovering my love for him, can’t I?



The clock is ticking.



Meet Ivan Pavlov and Payton Collins in the seventh book of the Boston Bay Vikings series by NYT and USA Today bestselling author, Lexi Buchanan.

OMG!! I absolutely love this author. She is one of my one click authors. Don't even need to read the blurb or see the cover!
And I love her Boston Bay Vikings. Ivan has intrigued me from the start. The surly, growly, angry Russian seems to be hiding something. A little nugget has been left in the previous books in this series and I could not wait to read his story
Holy moly! I was not prepared for it, this got me in the feels, big time! The connection between him and Payton is undeniable but he is fighting it. The question is, why?
I was on the edge of my seat, could not put it down!!
I highly recommend this, well to be honest, I highly recommend everything by this author!!

There was a couple of times near the beginning that I was close to giving up, but by 3/4 I didn't want it to end. The characters felt a little two dimensional and I was more invested in the plot than the couple.
