Bad Boys: Pressure

Rate this book
The boys are in town. The Bad Boys. The small town of Falls Creek doesn’t know what’s hit them. A new hockey team of giant men with dangerous good looks and bad attitudes to match has ripped the heart from the town.

Kane ‘The King’ Davidson
Being ‘The King’ of the ice has always given me status that only serves to stimulate my well-trained ego. I’m the toughest bad boy of the Falls Creek Falcons. I do anything I want. Say anything I want. And get whoever I want.
But when I’m pulled by a curvy bombshell at the hockey team’s Awards Gala dinner, my head is turned.
She’s incredible. Beauty like I’ve never seen before. Not to mention her perfect figure. Her plus-size curves are driving me wild. What the hell is this burning desire to claim her simmering deep inside me?
Shit. I’m feeling things I’ve never felt before.
There’s just one problem – she’s a single mom. Her entire life is devoted to protecting her daughter. She’s not about to expose innocent eyes to a troubled soul like mine.

Olivia Evans
I finally get a night to myself. Being a single mom is hard. All I do is work, school drop off and cook the same old meals. Rinse and repeat. Over and over again.
It’s only getting tougher as my sweet little angel grows, but for one night, I’m granting myself to leave all that behind.
One. Night. Only.
I’m guided by my best friend to a work function swimming with eligible hockey superstars. With my hair flowing, I’m quickly drawn to the dark eyes scowling at me from across the room.
His tattoos should serve as a warning, so should his scars. He’s trouble, and I need to stay away.
But I can’t. I don’t want to.

Four tough talking, panty melting, bone shattering hockey stars take to the ice with one trophy left to secure. These hard men have never loved before, but they’ve never set foot in Falls Creek either. The curvy-licious women have these naughty men on their best behavior. For now. It’s about to get hot and steamy, and these dirty players don’t puck around. This is a sweet and steamy BBW Two Hour Short read. If you like INSTALOVE novellas filled with strong curvy girls, a guaranteed HEA & the sexiest book boyfriends, this series is for you!

Kane pursued Olivia and they spend the night at his place. He fell in love at first sight but does not want to spook her. She panics the next morning and tells him they can't date. He managed to get under her guard with the help of his nephew and they get their HEA.

This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. There is maximum enjoyment if read as a series. This book is about hockey player Kane. He’s mean, violent and benched quite often due to that. He spots Olivia at a party that he did not even want to go to. Once he sees her though, he knows that he has to claim her. Olivia is a single mother who is going out on a rare night when her eyes lock with Kane’s. They both feel the chemistry but Olivia is reluctant to take a chance on her heart.
This book was such a terrific read! It can easily be read in one sitting. There is some steam, which I enjoyed. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!.

The author has given us a wonderful older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Bennett, Laura and her young brother, Benji. The story keeps us turning the pages with suspense, fear, danger and steam.

Kane & Olivia are a match right from the start, wether they want to admit it or not! I was happy Olivia finally gave in and let herself live a little. I wasn’t sure how to feel about Kane at first but I quickly began to love him as the story progressed. I love that no matter what he wasn’t giving up on Olivia. Definitely a good addition to the series!
