Slap Shot (Aces Hockey #5)
My name’s Max Hall, and I need to f***. As a pro hockey player who’s been away from the game for over a year, my libido has picked one hell of an an inconvenient time to come roaring back to life.
After my wife died from a rare form of cancer, sex was the last thing on my mind. Same with hockey, the other love of my life. Now, after fifteen months of eating too much, drinking too much, and generally just feeling sorry for myself, I’m facing a steep uphill battle to get my ass in shape and play my way back onto the Chicago Aces.
So I’m not looking for a relationship. Just sex. Yeah, I know how that makes me sound. But the truth is, I’ll never love another woman the way I loved my wife. When I meet a sexy bridesmaid at my teammate’s wedding, I decide to scratch that itch. A fling with Kendra Armstrong in her posh hotel room could be just what the trainer ordered.
Not only is Kendra smokin’ hot, she’s dynamite in bed—one of the perks of being a sex toy designer. Since she lives in New York anyway, we agree to keep things casual, no strings attached. The arrangement is perfect . . . until one of us falls in love. And it’s not me.

If you have read the series up to this point you will have met Max. We watched him go through the loss of his wife to Cancer. Hallsy has been pretty low key since then. He stopped playing to be with her and hasn't made it back to the ice as of yet. But he has a new determination to get in shape and make the team again. The first step in moving forward.
Meeting Kendra at Mark & Lovey's wedding. She is the first woman who has caught his attention other than his wife. Watching her from a distance and his body stirring to life again. He misses his wife and feels he will never love another woman but he wants to try.
Kendra is attracted to the hot hockey dude. After spending some of the evening dance and getting to know Max she is not ready for their evening to be over. Inviting him back to her room. The chemistry is certainly there but she can feel Max holding back.
This is an emotional book as Max works his way through the final stages of grief and back to living. Kendra by his side and trying to stick to their sex only no strings agreement. This is a fun fast read with dirty long distance texting and some hot intimate moments.
Will Max and Kendra keep with the agreement or will they find an HEA in each other.
Loving the Aces Hockey and excited to see who we get next.
