Offside with #55
The last thing any professional hockey player wants is to be the old man in the game. The guy who doesn’t know when it’s time to retire. Still, I can’t bear the thought of leaving the game.
This past year I’ve reflected on all my regrets, and I told myself that once I retire it’ll be the time to find the right woman. But this is where it gets tricky.
I think I’ve found her—although she’ll deny our connection to anyone who asks. We’ve been sleeping together casually and since I’m still playing hockey, I’ve let her get what she wants—me—whenever she wants.
After being told my career as a player is over, the owner of Florida Fury grants me a shot to stay in the game. A coaching position I didn’t know I wanted until it was offered. The catch? He’s also passing the family business down to his daughter.
Who’s his daughter?
The woman who’s been in and out of my bed for the past year. Which means the woman I intend to make mine is now my new boss.

This was the best in the series….and I loved them all. Kane and Jana were magical. And the bonus epilogue??? Brought tears but was so good.

What a perfect finale for this much adored Hockey Hotties series! Albeit bittersweet, because I am not ready to say goodbye to this dreamy and entertaining rooster of hot athletes. Off Side with #55 captures everything that makes this series so addictive and charming. The fun antics, the magnetic romantic chemistry, and the delicious heat paired with real emotions, swoony moments, and unforgettably lovable characters. And even better, some of my favorite tropes come out to play in this final story! Piper Rayne truly saved the best for last- and the Hockey Hotties will certainly go down as one of my favorite PR series to date.

I have read many novels by Piper Rayne, so far this is my favorite. The storytelling in this is quite dynamic. I absolutely loved the team building retreat and all the images they drew there. The way they structured this story was perfect. It moved at the perfect pace and each scene was so rich with content that it plays more like a movie in your head as you read. Well done Piper Rayne and team! Thank you for all that you do!

Offsides with #55, the sixth, and final, book in the Hockey Hotties series by the wonderfully talented author duo Piper Rayne, ties up the series superbly with Kane and Jana’s arduous journey towards their HEA. Their challenges (they draw towards each other like polarized magnets one moment, then repel like those same magnets become polar opposites the next) are overshadowed by their unquestionable chemistry. Through their ebbs and flows they became more relatable and dynamic as a couple. With the authors’ trademark wickedly humorous, and rapid fire repartee, and smooth flowing dialog the story nearly turns the pages itself and ends way too quickly. This is one series where I have truly felt an emotional attachment to the players and their significant others…with their crossover reappearances in each other’s stories, that attachment was strongly more solidified. The is a series I’m saddened to see come to an end, but am also excited for the new one beginning with the first book featuring Lee Burrows, Kane younger brother…can’t wait. This ARC book was complimentary. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Kane and Jana’s friends with benefits relationship kept me invested in what would happen next with them. I liked how strong, steady, dependable and honest Kane was! He took care of everyone that was important to him and openly expressed his feelings without coercion or feeling as if he’d lose his manliness. Jana was also impressive. Her ambitious nature, drive to succeed, caring, compassionate spirit and competitiveness made her a force to be reckoned with. Together, Kane and Jana are unstoppable! Joe Arden and Melissa Moran brought the story to life with their fantastic narration! Overall I really enjoyed this story!!
