ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

This is my first Sophia Henry book, and although it is book 4 in the Pilots Hockey series, it did not affect my reading of Unsportsmanlike Conduct.

I love a sports romance, and love a good hockey hottie.

Although the man-whore-hockey-star-meets-normal-girl premise is not a new one, I did like that our leading lady Kristen is not just the "normal girl"

I loved that she was dealing with a life long illness (Cystic Fibrosis) and the struggles she and her family and friends go through daily.

And I adored the way Pasha/Pavel took it all in his stride.

I am not going to lie, it took me about 1/3 of the book to really get into this story. Not sure why it dragged so much for me, but I am glad I pushed through.

Secrets, lies (of omission)... when will people learn that all that crap will lead to trouble??? I could understand why Pasha didn't say something.. at first. But as things were getting more serious I wanted to crack him over the head with my Kindle!

I did giggle at times with the "Big Fat Greek Wedding" kind of vibe I got - especially from Kristen's mother!

Unsportsmanlike Conduct is a pretty good way to start with a new author, and I will be going back to read the earlier books
