Kylie Reed has no intention of ever meeting a man in a bar. Her life is orderly, and she has a plan. So when she falls into the lap–literally–of Harrison Flynn, a handsome superstar hockey player, she’s dismayed at her own attraction to him. They’re opposites in every way, and between her plans and his fame, it seems like an impossibility.
I turned this on for a light listen, and that’s exactly what it was. I didn’t feel overly invested in either character or their relationship, but it was entertaining enough for some walks and workouts. I believe this is part of a series, and I don’t plan to read the rest (or for that matter, more books in the “hockey romance” sub-genre).

Kylie Reed vowed she’d never pick up a man in a bar.
So falling into a gorgeous ginger’s lap, tossing a glass of wine on him, and then hoping he asks for her number while in a bar would be a trifecta of wrong, right?
Organized, rule-loving, and cautious to a fault, Kylie Reed is waiting for the perfect moment to live her dreams—when she has a house, when she meets her husband, when she has been at her visual display job a little while longer. All of her dreams are saved for later—as that seems to be a safer place than taking a risk to actually live them.
Yet Kylie finds all her rules bending when she falls into the lap of gorgeous Harrison Flynn, captain of the Dallas Demons hockey team. Harrison harbors his own fears for the future, ones he keeps close to the vest. He’s intrigued with the brown-eyed beauty who proceeds with caution, while she’s drawn to the sexy man who pushes boundaries and functions in chaos. The phrase opposites attract has never been truer . . .
While the attraction is hot, is that enough to make a relationship work? Can they face their fears for a future they both want? Will this relationship end before puck drop? Or will they find home ice together?
