One second, he had everything.
The next, it was torn away.

Oliver James was at the peak of his career, captain of the Baltimore Breakers, minutes away from winning another Cup. Then one hit had derailed all that.

All he’d ever known was hockey, and he didn’t know where he fit in a world where playing was no longer a possibility. But then he was offered a chance to bring hockey back into his life. A shot at starting over.

The only condition of that second chance was required meetings with the team psychologist, Hazel.

She was exactly the kind of woman he might have once lusted after—beautiful, kind, a body that screamed sex. She made him feel whole, like a man again.

Except, she wasn’t interested in him outside of being a patient.

Well then, Oliver would just have to convince her otherwise.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Boldly is the second book in the Breakers Hockey series by Elise Faber.  I have just recently discovered this author, but I have come to really enjoy her books.  The characters touch your heart, are realistic, and have everyday difficulties.  Her stories take you through a rollercoaster of emotions and leave you smiling at the end. 

We were introduced to the Breakers Team Captain, Oliver, in the previous book and got to learn a little bit about him then.  This is Oliver’s book, and it starts with the tragic attack against him from a previous player on the team during the championship game.  Not only did he lose his hockey career, but he lost part of his leg.  He is offered a job to head the Player Development department for the team with the condition he takes mandatory sessions with Hazel, the team’s psychologist.  He had felt an instant attraction to Hazel when he met her the previous year, but she was engaged to be married.  Now she is no longer engaged, so he sees his chance to ask her out. Hazel Reid has been let down by men too many times in the past, so she is not looking for a relationship. But Oliver patiently wins her over and breaks through all her barriers.  

I have loved getting to know the Breakers team.  They are like a huge family and so supportive and eager to help their teammate, Oliver.  They might be fierce on the ice, but their hearts are made of gold.  I liked Oliver in the first book and was so sad when he lost everything.  He was such a great guy and so patient and caring with Hazel.  It was nice to see his life come together and for him to get his HEA.  

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
