Welcome to the series where I will be sharing a selection of book reviews I have posted in the last few years. I would like to take the opportunity to showcase books that I have enjoyed and their authors and if you have not read the books, I hope it will encourage you to check them out.
Today I am delighted to share my review from November 2019 for Skating on Thin Ice (The Men of Warhawks #1) by USA Today Bestselling author Jacquie Biggar.
About Skating on Thin Ice
Sam Walters has made a deal with the devil.
In order to win a much-needed contract as physical therapist to one of the NHL’s leading hockey teams, Sam must delay the recovery of their sniper, Mac Wanowski. The trouble is, the more she gets to know the taciturn hockey player, the more she aches to help him.
Mac ‘The Hammer’ Wanowski chased the Stanley Cup dream for too many years. Last time he was close it had cost him his wife. As injuries continue to plague the team, Mac works to catch a killer and keep the woman he’s come to love from the hands of a madman.
Hockey can be a dangerous sport, especially when millions of dollars are at stake.
My review for the book 14th November 2019
Jacquie Biggar certainly has a way with words and the skill to create hot and attractive characters in her stories. And this book is no exception with the cynical and driven Mac Wanowski, determined to bury the tragic past in his fast paced career as captain of the Victoria War Hawks hockey team. And Sam, a reserved but determined young woman who has to deal with this stubborn and reclusive sport’s star.
With an injury threatening his participation in the play offs, Mac reluctantly agrees to the personal attention of a physical therapist recommended by the team doctor.at his beautiful mountain retreat. But Sam is definitely not the male therapist Mac was expecting and sparks fly from their first meeting. Not everyone wants the team’s star player to recover and it is not until the end that we find out who is behind the plot. And let me warn you it is not who you expect.
In the meantime we have the heat of relationship that is developing between Mac and Sam and the freezing temperatures of a snow laden mountain storm that isolates the two of them at the mercy of hired thugs. There is passion, danger and surprises and of course a very healthy dollop of romance.
Something to warm you up during the long, dark, cold evenings ahead this winter. Very enjoyable.
