Review: Penalty Play

For this review, I chose Penalty Play by Jami Davenport.

I received a copy of the ebook for a honest review of this book.

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

Single dad and star defenseman Matt LaRue lives for his kids and hockey. He's had one failed marriage and doesn't have any interest in going through that hell again. As conservative as they come, he can't comprehend his unexplainable attraction to a free-spirited female who changes hair color more often than his boys create new excuses to avoid doing their homework.

Violet Strider is fleeing the past. She has a new start, new identity, and is hiding a big secret. Matt and Vi are a classic case of opposites attract, but neither expects the attraction to extend beyond a few hot trysts, especially Vi. Only her heart isn't listening, and her head is following her heart down a path of no return. As Vi grows closer to Matt and his boys, she fears her secret could rip them apart.

Relationships are built on trust, and Vi's house of cards is about to take a tumble. Can Vi confront her past and finally put it behind her, while earning Matt's forgiveness? 

This is book #9 in the Game On in Seattle series.   This is my first book by this author.  Besides reading books set around cowboys, cops or fireman, I love when the book centers around a hockey or soccer player.

Matt is a hockey player, who is raising 2 adorable boys on his own.  He wants a woman in his life that has morals.  He thinks that is not Violet, but he could be completely wrong.  Vi is a free spirit.  She does not eat meat and loves to do things her way.  Their chemistry is off the charts, but they keep fighting it.  They hate each other.  There is nothing in common.  Vi does not like kids, but I think she has a way with Matt's sons.

I can not wait to read the other books in this series.  Great book!  Well written!!
