The Trouble with #9
Trouble.
One word that comes to mind when someone talks about me. I like to think of it as protection, watching out for the ones I love. But now I’m spending more time in the penalty box than on the ice and the team owner isn’t happy.
Finding myself across the room from the hot therapist I kissed on New Year’s Eve only makes me push my problems down further. I want couch time with her but not the kind she’s used to.
I decide to lie to her just to finish off my therapy so I can do what I really want—date her—even if she says she doesn’t date hockey players. Just when my therapy sessions are up and I’ve made some headway with Paisley, it’s my parents who throw another wrench in my plans.
If I abide by my parent’s wishes to marry the one they’ve chosen, I’ll lose Paisley forever. But if I go against my parents, I’m failing my deceased best friend all over again.

Piper Rayne have quickly become go to authors for me. This was the first series I have read by them, but while waiting for the next book I have read several others. Maksim is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He feels responsible for watching out for his best friends, even when it gets him in trouble. Paisley is the girl next door who has worked through all her issues…that is until she meets Maksim. Agghh! The way he loves her! Every woman should be so lucky to find someone to love her like that.

I couldn’t stop reading. Great storytelling! Captivating! Their flirtations and steamy scenes had me fanning my face🙌. I definitely recommend this book and this series. I can’t wait for book #3. Happy reading!

Great original story. Parts that are laugh out loud funny and parts that are moving and substantial.

3.5 stars I love Piper Rayne as an author and I loved the first book in this series, but this book had one major issues that drove me nuts (and not in a good way). I loved Maksim, he was a great character with enough backstory to make him flawed but likable. Paisley is where I had issues with the story. Paisley is hired as a therapist for the team, and for Maksim. When she is finding herself attractive to him, instead of doing the right thing and removing herself as his therapist she continues as his therapist while dating him. I have seen this trope before, and having a female therapist be so unprofessional and irrational, didn’t sit well with me. If she had been any other profession, I would have rated this a five star romance. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the author and publisher for my honest review.
