BLURB.
There’s only one woman I truly care about: my daughter. Until Maisy Stratford flounces into the front office of the Tennessee Thunderbolts with a heartfelt smile and a tray of baked goods.
As the Bolts’ newest hire, Maisy is optimistic, enthusiastic, and a goddess at manifestation.
Everything I’m not.
Known as Brawler, I’m a gruff, quiet, rough-around-the-edges, NHL defenseman. I haven’t dated in decades. I’ve never been married and my daughter’s a twenty-one-year-old mischief maker. I don’t know how to talk about feelings or place my trust in the hands of a woman. Even one with a heart of gold.
With my daughter Lola egging me on, I finally ask Maisy out.
But I don’t want to be her rebound; I want to be her forever. Even if I don’t know how to tell her that. Even if she’s not ready for me.
If I’m being honest, I’m not ready for her either.

She Had Me At Jason Momoa...
In this second book of the Tennessee Thunderbolts, we take a closer look at Axel "Brawler" Daire and Maisy, the new woman in HR for the team.
"For appearing so rough and gruff, he really is a considerate man."
That would be putting it mildly when it comes to Axel. I absolutely loved this guy from the get go. He's a thirty-six year old professional hockey player that has made his daughter his life, foregoing any social life of his own. He's a man's man on one hand and a girl dad on the other. Throw in the fact that he was compared to Jason Momoa constantly, he could do no wrong in my eyes, which was a good thing, because Maisy was a lot to handle.
"I started tonight wondering if Axel and I were going on a date and now...I'm wondering if we have a shot at a future."
Maisy is the new HR person for the team and best friends with Mila who was featured in the first book. We got a glimpse of Maisy and her former boyfriend Josh then, quickly hoping that he wasn't going to be around long. The ex, as well as her mother have chipped away at Maisy's self confidence and made her constantly doubt herself, which got real old real fast for me.
The fun of this book was Axel stumbling around in dating world. He's so use to only caring about his daughter, he keeps dropping the ball when it comes to letting Maisy in. There are a lot of factors surrounding these two and with Maisy and her constant doubts, just I wanted him to move on from her at times. In all reality, it was a treat to see Axel spread his man-wings and learn to soar again when it was all said and done.
The book is well written and checks off all of the boxes, funny, sexy and angsty. These two put each other through an emotional ringer of miscommunication, however their friends and family members keep the humor level at an even keel. Again, the book reads as a standalone, with a cute epilogue to wrap things up.
ALSO AVAILABLE.
