Kitty's Book Spot!

     They believe love conquers all. Until it doesn't.       THIS PIECE OF MY SOUL Clearing the Ice #2 Robyn M. Ryan Releasing Jan 24th, 2017     They believe love conquers all.   One of pro-hockey’s golden couples, Andrew and Caryn Chadwick live in the limelight reserved for elite professional athletes. On their second anniversary, Andrew receives an unexpected contract offer to join the Tampa Suns. As they look forward to a new adventure, neither foresees an event that challenges their love and threatens their marriage.   Until it doesn’t.    A sudden and senseless accident threatens Andrew’s life and inexplicably drives a wedge between the couple. Shattered by the incident, paralyzed by fear that it could happen again, Caryn finds herself at odds with her husband and unable to provide the support he needs—at the time he is most vulnerable.   As their perfect world crumbles...

This is the 2nd book in the Clearing The Ice series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  Since it is a series that continues, it is advised to read this series in order. Andrew and Caryn's story continues in this new installment.  Everything hits the fan when Andrew is hurt and it throws their life into chaos.  They find out who their real friends and family are that come to help. Caryn knows she does not want to live without Andrew.  He is just such a big part of her life.  When tragedy strikes, she learns who to trust and who to ignore. This book was full of emotions for me.  I felt the roller coaster ride that she was on.  I sure hope to read the next installment as this series is just amazing.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

Caryn meets Andrew when they literally run into one another.  The attraction is immediate, and mutual.  Until he finds out about her dislike of athletes and that she is young & still in school. Andrew wants no more of the party days that are behind him.  Caryn represents the future and all he could have, if they can just find that common ground that seems so elusive.  Can he show her they have a shot? I really enjoyed this book.  I found the characters and plot interesting and at a good pace.  So glad there is more to this series, since this is a great start to another hockey series to sit on my shelf for a re-read.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review.
