Description
Trouble comes in all different sizes...

My name is Dylan Gleason and I have a reputation as a troublemaker—which is why I'm currently serving time on the ice down here with the New Orleans Bourdons. I keep telling myself I'll prove them all wrong and work my way back to the top of my game.

Then I meet Morgan Raymond, the runaway bride with more baggage than a week-long road trip. They can call me a troublemaker all they want but they haven't met Morgan yet--

Something tells me I just met my match...

My Review
After the first volume, I wanted to read this book because I liked the summary. Since it was available in the ARC list on Booksprout, I took the opportunity to read it

This time, another Hockey player is in the spotlight. The relationship between the players is more sympathetic and a little more present.

The beginning made me laugh, even if for nothing in the world I would want to find myself in this situation.

The relationship between Dylan and Morgan is a bit of the same type as that of Nathan and Addy (volume 1) while being different. I am delighted to see that the characters in the first volume play an important role and are very present.

Morgan reveals herself very slowly. One wonders what is holding her back and making her want to run away. When I found out the why, I thought it was a stupid reason.
Dylan is easier to understand. He goes out of his way so he want to understand his actions. Sometimes he reacts before he thinks.

My reading was pleasant but I remain on a question concerning Morgan: what does she do for a living ? Still no problem of understanding with the author's pen.
Rating : 9,5/10

Description
Rules were meant to be broken...

My life has been nothing but one crap-tastic cluster after another. Getting traded. Being sent to New Orleans. Enjoying a one-night stand—plus a little more—with Adelaide Landry.

How was I supposed to know the beauty with a body tailormade for sex was the daughter of my new hockey team's owner? The problem is, I'm not sure it would have made a difference if I had known. After all, I'm Nathan Shaw and I earned my reputation for being a rule breaker.

Only this time, I may have gone too far...

My Review
I discovered this title due to an error in my search for a book on Goodreads I did not remember the name but which was about Hockey too. A pleasant mistake for once.
The basic theme of the story is hockey. I discovered Hockey thanks to a Japanese series and I liked it. The worst part is that there are two teams not far from where I live, but I have never seen a game in my life.
The story discuss the relationship between the players but the main plot remains centered on Addy and Nathan, the evolution of their relationship and the obstacles that stand in their way.
At first, it seems like Addy is very liberated, but ultimately most of her life is under control.
Nathan is a bit of a burnt head. It was for this reason that he landed in New Orleans. I do not know if I did not pay attention but I think we know less about him than Addy.
My reading was pleasant and quick, except for a length or two. I had no difficulty understanding the story.
I intend to read the next book "Troublemaker" that has an enticing summary.
