BLURB.
Life as a professional hockey player keeps me plenty busy, and yet it often feels like Iโm on autopilot as the world passes me by. I suppose I canโt complain. I have the honor of calling myself a New England Bay Shark, so I have more than enough money to buy some form of happiness.
Sleeping around with beautiful women may come with the territory, but Iโve never taken the time to actually get to know any of them. In fact, thereโs only one Iโve relentlessly thought about, but sheโs off-limits. Everyone knows you canโt go after your best friendโs little sister. Especially if heโs already forbidden it.
Iโve had a crush on Saylor Sawyer since I met her years ago, and even though Iโve spent many showers and nights alone creating my own fantasies, starring her, I know I canโt
act on those โฆ filthy thoughts.
No matter how hot they are.
When a teammate hurts her badly, Saylorโs on the warpath, looking for sweet revenge. I just happen to be the lucky bastard sitting at the other end of the bar.
One hookup gets entangled with a lie, and things get complicated fast. But the lie wasnโt mine, and Iโm going to make damn sure she knows it too.
See, the night she used me to get back at her ex awakened a beast inside of me. A beast that only wants Saylor Sawyer.
A beast that wonโt stop until sheโs mine.

Warnings Ignoredโฆ
As only the second New England Sharks book Iโve read, Bite Your Tongue fits well within the series and works great as a standalone. This one focuses on Ryder and SaylorโRyder is on the team, and Saylor is his teammate's (Smithโs) little sister.
Smith has warned his teammates for years to stay away from Saylor, but thatโs easier said than done. Saylorโs an independent woman, career-focused, living on her own, but she has this hang-up about needing a man to feel complete, in a way. Sheโs been pretty open about her flings in the past and hasnโt been ashamed of them... until now. After one guy crosses a line, Saylor starts to rethink what she really wants in life.
Ryder has always been a bit of a player. Heโs definitely noticed Saylor but respected Smithโs warning and kept his distance. When he finds out what happened to her, he wants to protect her without coming off as a creep. One night, he sees her at a bar, tipsy and clearly looking to forget. He steps in, and from there, things escalate quickly.
For me, though, the chemistry between these two felt off. There was a strong insta-attraction, but then they tried to pull back, and their conversations didnโt land. Some of the dialogue felt awkward, and Ryderโs nickname for Saylor, Brat, really rubbed me the wrong way. I did appreciate that they tried to pivot from a hookup to something deeper, but by then, it felt forced and a little too late.
While the book was well written overall, Iโll admit to skimming through some of Ryderโs internal monologues. That said, the supporting cast, teammates, family, and friends helped round out the story and kept things grounded. As mentioned, Bite Your Tongue works well as a standalone, and the final chapters give a nice time jump that lets readers check in on this unlikely couple.
