Mandi - “Another winner from LP Dover!! I so love this series, I can't get enough of these hockey players.” Jackie Wright - “This book is a fun read, the banter is perfect and the chemistry is sizzling, the characters all have depth and are very likeable.” Wit & Wonder Books - “L.P. Dover’s slap shot of a novel, Blocked left me wanting to know what happens next in the series. I need more of all the characters from the Breakaway series. No freaking joke!”

He’s got every reason to be cocky . . . until a female cuts him down to size.

I’m Dallas Easton, the best goaltender in the league. I make a damn good living playing hockey, and with women falling at my feet wherever I go, why not enjoy it? I get whatever I want, whenever I want—that is, until I come across the one player who gets the best of me on the ice.

When I try to pummel the dude, all hell breaks loose. Imagine my surprise when the helmet comes off to reveal a woman underneath. And not just any woman, but the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Callie Davis is the complete opposite of the puck bunnies I usually go for, a good girl with sick moves and a selfless streak a mile wide. I need to make amends, but she dodges me at every turn. It doesn’t help that Callie’s brother hates my guts, or that my agent thinks she’s bad for my career.

But I could care less what they think. I can’t let our little run-in on the ice be the end of our story. Because when I set my sights on something, I won’t rest until I score.

Review:

OMG!!! Dallas is my new favorite book boyfriend. He has a naughty past. He has a big ego and loves his job. Dallas isn't everyone's favorite but he is mine.

Callie lives with her brother, working as a nurse. Her good heart was infectious. She cares about others, she wants to help. She fights everything against Dallas's advances. She makes him work hard, making him a friend.

LP does it so well you don't even realize that hours have gone by reading. She gives you action, love, and realistic people to fall in love with. She is a favorite that continues to get better.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Before she began her literary journey she worked in periodontics, enjoying the wonderment of dental surgeries.

Review:

Bethany was stubborn, stick up her butt complicated. She was a hard egg to crack. She was rigid. She wanted to do her job and not be bothered with much outside of that. She had a system. I liked watching her transformation and she did slowly. CL took us through a process and I liked watching Bethany grow. She had a few demons that needed to come out and be worked through.

Aryn let a woman get the best of him and will be damned if it happens again. He has his little girl to focus on and life to live. He has a small circle of friends and he realizes includes Bethany. A woman he actually wants to get to know. The first woman since his horrible ex that peaks an interest.

It was a well played out story of hearts growing but still staying safe. The only real issue I had was that Aryn's wonderful little girl is 'going on four' 'almost four' however her speak and thought process is about 8 or more. I have read many books with children and this one just didn't get it for me. There were many scenes she acted and talked like a 'almost four year old' however there were more than not times that she sounded like an adult speaking.

I liked the group of friends and the protectiveness of the group. They really cared and took care of each other. This story held me to the very end and I loved that it all came together.

CL Stacey is a Florida native, born and raised. She still resides in the Sunshine State with her husband and daughter. Relaxing with any good love story she can get her hands on is her favorite way to end the day. That or binge watching shows on Netflix.

I Like Writing:: Jacob's POV

A month has gone by and I am finally back in to see this fancy lawyer my mother insisted I hire. He is expensive but supposedly the best in the area. How my mother knew about him no clue, but she says he comes highly recommended. I bought a suit and tie just for this meeting, I pray I don't have to go to court. Shelly said she would sign the paperwork but when it is finally there in front of her, I don't know what she'll do. 

It's a fancy building, lots of floors, I make my way to the 8th, where this Stephen guy is. I let his secretary know I am here and wait. Hands sweaty, heart rate up, yep that's me. I just want this meeting over. He keeps asking questions and I keep answering as best as I can. I should have brought Shelly and just had her sign as much as she could here. He's talking meditation and counseling, all I want is a damn divorce. 

He finally has me sign the paperwork saying I will pay him and that Shelly will be served with the paperwork. I am walking down the hallway towards the elevator when I hear that laugh. That laugh that belongs to my girl. I turn quickly and walk the opposite direction but don't see anyone. Damn, I do this to myself all the time. Five years and I just can't let her go. 

I pick Ethan up from Shelly and go to my small apartment that is above my mom's garage. Lame, I know but I am not paying rent. I want a house. A house that Ethan can live in on his days with me and be comfortable. I know he doesn't really care where he lives but I want something worthy of this innocent kid. 

It's midnight and here I am again torturing myself. Looking up all her social media accounts, all private, I cant see a damn thing but a few pictures but I love when there's a new one to see. It's something I do very couple of months. It was worse when she was in college, tagged in pictures that for whatever reason I could see, she got to have her life. She was at parties, football games, and on campus while I was helping my wife raise our son. This is all my fault yet I still yearn for it to be fixed. I keep waiting for the day I see a guy or an announcement.
