In this Brooklyn Bruisers romance from USA Today bestselling author Sarina Bowen, a hockey goalie has to trust his instincts, even when taking a shot to the heart… Mike Beacon is a champion at defending the net, but off the ice, he’s not so lucky. A widower and a single father, he’s never forgotten Lauren Williams, the ex who gave him the best year of his life. When Lauren reappears in the Bruisers' office during the play-offs, Beacon sees his chance to make things right. Lauren hates that she’s forced to travel with the team she used to work for and the man who broke her heart. There’s still undeniable sexual tension running between her and Mike, but she won’t go down that road again. She’s focused on her plans for the future—she doesn’t need a man to make her dreams of motherhood come true. Lauren plays her best defensive game, but she’s no match for the dark-eyed goalie. When the field of play moves to Florida, things heat up on the beach. One of Mike’s biggest fans doesn’t approve—his teenage daughter. But a true competitor knows not to waste the perfect shot at love.

I didn't really feel connected with the characters at all. I skipped it and read the 4th book instead.
I really only read this because I want to get to Nate & Becca's book. It was a little predictable but it kept my attention. Some of the hockey-related things that happen in this series are starting to get to me though because they'd never actually happen that way in real life. Goalies aren't captains, goalies don't fight, your enforcers are not the best players, etc.
While this is not my favorite Brooklyn Bruisers story, Lauren is definitely one of my favorite Brooklyn heroines, so there... :)
