Blurb:

Janica

Befriending a professional hockey player, especially one like Ace, is not something I ever expected to happen to me. We hit it off right away, and though I might have not-so-friendly thoughts about him sometimes, our friendship is strictly platonic. I have a boyfriend, and besides, Ace is way out of my league.

Stuck in a broken relationship, I question whether I deserve anything better. And when I catch my cheating boyfriend in the act, my life collapses. Not only have I lost my boyfriend, I’ve lost my home.

When Ace finds out I need somewhere to stay, he offers to open his home to me. But can I handle living in the same house with the gorgeous man who has haunted my thoughts since the day we met?

Ace

Trapped in a broken body, I need a distraction to help pass the time while I’m away from my one true love: hockey. It appears in the form of a curvy brunette who works at the library I’ve chosen to study at. Our friendship begins when Janica promises to show me her secret study spot. And I’m instantly captivated. But then I find out she has a boyfriend. When I learn Janica needs help, I have to ask myself an important question that just might change my future forever. Now that she’s single, will I do whatever it takes to show her I’m the man she needs and deserves?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the friendship first and slow build to admitting to loving each other. Janica was not so sure of herself, but with support, she found herself and the strength to get out of a bad situation. Ace was so caring, protective, and patient with Janica, and ready to defend her quickly. There was a lot of hockey which I enjoyed despite Ace having to miss an entire season rehabbing a broken leg, which was also interesting, showing what it actually takes to get back to where you were. This was a touching and fun tale.
