dermkat 's review for:

Hooked on Them by Maya Nicole

I enjoyed this one! It took me a minute to refamiliarize myself with which why choose hockey romance series I was in but then got there (we see past characters, which remindede that if isn't a hockey series, just this book is). Nora is the new skating skills coach for the Titan's NHL team and early on hooks up with Carter, a friend of a friend very rich photographer, and despite her better judgement, Dominic, one of the players she's butted heads with the most. She ends up pregnant and it's Dom's but his best friend and teammate Miles steps up and offers to fake date her and say the baby is his and that they've been together since before she started because that's less of a scandal and more believable. But she doesn't know he's had a thing for her since they sort of knew each other as teens. Then it turns out all three men have a thing for her and they're all together but eventually their secret gets out. Heads up for people who don't like pregnancy storylines: that's what this whole book is, and she gives birth at the end (it's not traumatic or graphic but does have the labor symptoms on page). This book reminded me that I've read Nora's sister Josie's book as part of a seperate series and discovered the second book is out now so I'm going to read that too.
