Description
Bryan James knows everything about hockey. That's a passion he and his daughter Allie share. What he doesn't know is how to be a single father. And the way he's scrambling to hold his thirteen-year-old's world--and his-- together kind of proves that. So does the fact they're in community mediation after Allie's run-in with another player on her own team! There's probably some valuable learning in this for Bryan, but he's too distracted by the other player's parent Clare Sampson. She's smart and beautiful...and outraged at what's happened. Worse, she wants nothing to do with his beloved sport, his amazing daughter...or him! Luckily he's been in this game long enough to know there's always another play to get you what you want.

Eh. There are two major themes here, and one is something I know little about (hockey) and the other is something I know zilch about (single parent of a teenager). There's a lot of angst and "tragic pasts", a bit of girl talk about how hot the hero is, and three kisses with some heavy petting.

There's nothing wrong with the story - the writing's fine, the characterization is fine, etc - but the story just doesn't catch me. It's almost a mainstream novel (though it does have a happy ending) - too much angst for my taste, and not enough romance _or_ sex. Someone might like it, not me. I think I'll pass it to my sister, who plays hockey (that's how I know anything about the sport). Show Less
