🏒🏒 Hayden (Breakaway Novel #1) - "Everything about this book, from the way the Hayden and Addison banter to the chemistry that steams off the page, is absolutely without a doubt electric. I loved everything about this. It's hot, spicy, funny, and absolutely amazing!" ~ Beyond the Read

🏒🏒 Arden (Breakaway Novel #2) - "I love S. R. Grey's style of writing, her characters are strong and have depth and I am excitedly anticipating the next book in her Breakaway Hockey series." ~ Thelma and Louise Book Blog

Confirmed bachelor Arden Troy has no time for love. He’s too busy playing his best hockey for the Atlanta Thunder.

Well, almost his best. He did just blow a perfect chance for his team to move on in the playoffs.

But that’s behind him now. It’s summer, and his teammate Hayden, just asked him for a favor—to spend some time with Hayden’s fiancée’s sister, Willow, who just moved into town.

Whatever, it could be worse. At least it’ll make the off-season more bearable.

Still, Arden plans to keep things platonic, no matter what.

That shouldn’t be hard, as Willow Knight is done with love. She was burned recently and has now vowed never to let that happen again.

Nope, no way.

Even if she does think Arden is hot.

Even if he is the perfect blend of swagger and cool.

Yeah, even if.

But can two people really fight fate?

Especially when everything they ever wanted is right in front of them.

Arden is the second novel in the bestselling Breakaway Hockey series.

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:

Arden is the second book in the Breakaway Hockey series, and it was just as good as the first book, Hayden.  After meeting and getting to know Arden, I couldn’t wait to read his book.  

After missing the shot that would have put the Atlanta Thunder team in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Arden felt like he disappointed his team.  So, with nothing better to do during the off-season but practice the shot he missed, he agrees to keep an eye on Willow, Hayden’s fiancée’s sister, who just moved to town.  He is a proclaimed bachelor, but Willow might test his plans.

After finding her fiancée with someone else, Willow is done with relationships.  Moving and getting a job near her sister will be a fresh start for her.  She never planned for the broody, hockey player Arden, or the chemistry between them.

After reading the first book in the series and being captivated by it from the beginning, I couldn’t wait to get the stories of the other players on the Atlanta Thunder team.  Arden was everything I expected, plus more.  Now we must patiently wait until next year for the third book which is Nils’s book. This was a great book and I loved seeing broody Arden find his happy ever after.

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