Heart of a champion

This is the 4th book in the Cold Fury Hockey series.  It can be read as a standalone novel, but for full understanding I encourage readers to read the series in order.

Ryker Evans first meets Gray Brannon when she recruits him to the Carolina Cold Fury team.  Now she is to be his General Manager and taking a lot of opposition for being a woman in a man's field.  Ryker could care less.

Gray has so much on her plate right now.  She cannot afford to be attracted to Ryker and have thoughts of him distract her.  She invites him to yoga just to spend more time with him.

Ryker is goalie on the team.  Yoga is good exercise for his position.  He is also attracted to Gray.  If only he could stop thinking about her.  Nothing seems to distract him.  Now his soon to be ex-wife wants another chance?

Gray is a good General Manager.  She is really a genius.  Her new plan is to get her team to the championships and a Stanley Cup win.  No one thinks they way she is going about it is right, except Ryker and her father.

Ryker just wants to be a good father to his kids, and have Gray in his life.  Can something so simple come together?  How can they have a future if they have to keep their relationship a secret?

Such an amazing and well thought out story.  The author is known for complex characters, but this book took it to another level for me.  I think it is her best book to date.  The banter, the sexy times, the fun with the children.... there is something for everyone in this book!  I give this story 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
