A brooding hockey hunk learns to embrace life—and love—from a single mom who takes the world one puck at a time.
“Kelly Jamieson is my go-to author for hockey romance.”—USA Today bestselling author Jami Davenport
Big move . . . Jodie’s motto is “Don’t wait for the perfect moment—take the moment and make it perfect.” And that’s just what she decides to do when she moves to Chicago with her two-year-old daughter. Now all Jodie needs is a place to live, and her best friend’s boyfriend has just the answer.
Big stick . . . Nick Balachov has zero interest in socializing, partying, or flirting right now. It’s not that he doesn’t like women. He loves them. It’s just that hockey, casual hookups, and hanging out at home are enough for him these days. Now Nick has a big problem—because the woman living in his empty coach house is a major distraction.
Big deal? The more Nick tries to keep his distance, the more Jodie needs him—around the house, that is. First he helps with the snowstorm, then the power outage. Nick even finds himself trying to impress her little girl. What the hell is wrong with him? Jodie represents everything Nick doesn’t want. But maybe she’s just what he needs. . . .

Betsy –
Nick Balachov is a confirmed bachelor and solitary guy who isn’t looking for a wife, kids and an HEA. Enter Jodie, a single mom with a two-year-old who recently relocated to Chicago to be closer to her best friend Kendra. Low and behold Kendra is the girlfriend of Nick’s closest friend Max Hallsey.
While trying to get everything set up for their business Josie and her daughter Zyana are staying with Max and Kendra until she can find an affordable place. Max has the brilliant idea that Jodie could move into Nick’s guest house. Needless to say, a little madness ensues
While this is kind of an opposites-attract story, it is so much more than that. You see so much more in Nick and Jodie that what is on the surface. Seeing how Zyana worms her way into Nick’s heart is endearing. However, it’s the responsibility of dating a woman with a child that may prove to be Nick and Jodie’s undoing.
All in all, I loved this book and can’t wait to see these three pop up in a future Aces hockey book.
