On the first day he is called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, professional hockey player Leo Trevi gets checked on both sides, first by the team's coach, who holds a long-standing grudge, and then by the team's publicist, his former girlfriend, Georgia Worthington, whom he still loves. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do. Georgia is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, but when a press conference microphone catches Leo declaring his feelings for her, things get really personal really fast.

4.5I'm an idiot. I waited to read/listen to this and worse yet have procrastinated in writing a review, ergo it will be brief and unspecific. I'll kick myself later. We met Leo Trevi is DJ's brother from [b:The Fifteenth Minute 26720038 The Fifteenth Minute (The Ivy Years, #5) Sarina Bowen https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442717711s/26720038.jpg 45099924] and Georgia is his ex high-school girlfriend, with whom DJ remained friends. After a stint in the minors Leo has finally been called up to a major team but besides coping with rookie nerves he'll have to deal with two surprises. The team's current PR person is Georgia, whom he hasn't seen since something bad happened during their last year of high-school, and his new coach is her father, who harbors ill feelings for Leo and doesn't even want him on the team.I really loved most of this. Sarina Bowen is one of a handful of writers I trust with my M/F reads and NA for that matter too. I loved Leo and Georgia together. What they, yes THEY, went through was harrowing. I think liked the way it was handled: sensitively yet it didn't overwhelm the story or Georgia. I liked all of the guys on the team and the female relationship that existed outside of the men. I'm sure this will be a re-listen at a certain point and I'll make sure to do a better review when the details are fresher in my mind.

Georgia's father. I got where he was coming from, though apparently he hadn't spoken much with his daughter. Maybe that is true behavior and, though I want to smack him, I can empathize. His hostility to Leo? Not so much. There was no reason. No logical reason. And at least chronologically Coach Worthington was the adult in this party of three. Whatevs
