Sometimes love is messy, and unpredictable. The one you're with isn't always the one you're meant to be with.One year ago, Gia Torella made a huge mistake. After several glasses of champagne at her sister’s wedding, she hooked up with arrogant and egotistical Patrick Dubois, the most imposing hockey player on the Pittsburgh Renegades professional hockey team — both on the ice and off. But she vowed to forget that brief passionate encounter, even if her body remembered all the wild and incredible things they did that night. She’s moved on from Patrick, and her solid, dependable, nice-guy boyfriend is proof of that.Patrick has never forgotten their one night of passion. Even though she’s the girlfriend of Tyler Kidd, his team’s captain and therefore completely off-limits, all he can think about is her curvy body, her bubbly personality, and the way she screamed out his name during the best sex he’s ever had. Since their night together, he’s given up on the puck bunnies, the partying, and the random hook-ups, and he’s willing to become the man she needs.They both know it’s wrong, but they’re drawn to each other in a whirlwind of passion. Can Patrick convince Gia that he has really changed into someone she could depend upon… and that sometimes love is worth the penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct?

  • I loved Gia and Patrick's story. You knew, even in book one that she felt something for Patrick that wasn't therewith Tyler. Gia's head was telling her heart she loved Tyler and in her own way, I believe she did. We can love many people in many different ways, was she 'in love' with him, that was where her head was lying to her heart.

    I was pulled in from the beginning as Patrick and Gia are once again brought together for a family gathering. The author did an exceptional job of showing how conflicted Gia was, that she felt she loved Tyler and didn't want to cheat on him, but her heart had other plans.

    I really loved this book and originally I gave this a four star but changed it to a five. I went back and reread it and I realized that the author did this for a reason. Book Three will be Tyler's story and it may spoil the plot to give us where he is coming from. There is a lot in this book that made me feel for Tyler. His teammates and the coach seem to be on the "Patrick/Gia"train without any regard to what Patrick did to Tyler. That being said, it is all about the game and winning. They can't get involved in the personal side of things. Very realistic, IMO, a book I will read over and over.

    That being said, overall, I loved this book. I was very HAPPY to find out that Tyler will get his story. This reader hopes that she treats Tyler to EXTRA EXTRA loving. He deserves it. Anyone who reads the reviews and is turned off by them, let me say this. Life doesn't give everyone a happy ending all the time.The book moved me. It made me laugh, angry, sad and left me hungering for the next book. That means that Melody did her job as a writer, she made me feel.Long after I had finished it, my mind was still turning over the endless possibilities for all these characters and where they are headed. I have burning questions. Will Tyler stay with the Renegades? Will he have a 'bro' friendship on the team with anyone? Who is this woman and how will she ever get past the scars that Gia left on his heart? I for one am staying tuned,anxiously waiting for book three, Tyler's story. Hats off to you Melody, a really GREAT read! - Mary

Coming off of Kris and Kat's story, I was excited to read Gia and Patrick's and a little hesitant at the same time. I really liked Tyler in book one and Patrick came off as a playboy...but I knew from the synopsis where it was headed.

That being said, I loved Gia and Patrick's story. You knew, even in book one that she felt something for Patrick that wasn't there with Tyler. Gia's head was telling her heart she loved Tyler and in her own way, I believe she did. We can love many people in many different ways, was she 'in love' with him, that was where her head was lying to her heart.

I was pulled in from the beginning as Patrick and Gia are once again brought together for a family gathering. The author did an exceptional job of showing how conflicted Gia was, that she felt she loved Tyler and didn't want to cheat on him, but her heart had other plans. Patrick knows he loves Gia and feels that love in return. He's willing to sacrifice all for them to be together, even if it costs him his place on the team.

I really loved this book and originally I gave this a four star but changed it to a five. I went back and reread it and I realized that the author did this for a reason.

I really enjoyed this book by Melody. I also have a profound love for hockey so I read any and every hockey romance I can find. And I also love the Pittsburgh Penguins so a book that involves a Pittsburgh hockey team (all be it fictional) makes it a must read. This is book 2 in the series where we catch up with Gia. We met her in Book 1 of the series. She is Kat's sister and happens to be dating, Tyler, the captain of the team, nice and safe. But is she is feeling like she is missing the heat and passion that she desires. A year ago she made a drunken mistake with Patrick and one night of weakness and was forgiven. But that one night can never be repeated, right? When they come in contact with each other again after a year of no contact can they resist? When unexpected turns arise in Gia, Tyler, and Patrick's lives, how will they recover and whom will end up with whom?

Gia was a whiny person who didn't appreciate one thing she had. This book was well written. I just felt that Patrick could have done better than Gia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is she a slut, or is she just with the wrong man to begin with?
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Gia is not the most loveable character at first, but as the story unfolds she grows on you as you see her falling for Patrick. Of course, you have to feel sorry for Tyler, but then you realize that Gia was not his match and he just was not that into her enough to put forth any effort. Patrick is so in love with Gia that he just can't help going after her, even if she is with his team mate, Tyler. Things work out for the best in the end, but there is a lot of guilt and angst in this book. Kind of like soap opera meets hockey.

Gia is in a relationship with Tyler Kidd the captain of the Baltimore Banners but she can't resist Patrick one of teammates, so after cheating on him once, Tyler forgives her but when he leaves for Canada for pre-season again, she cheats on him again.
Patrick is madly attracted to Gia but she is Tyler's girl so he tries to stay away from her. But when Tyler goes back to Canada and leaves her again, Patrick can't stay away any longer, he has much more to offer her than that kid!
So Gia has to choose. I look forward to more books from the series.

I hate leaving bad reviews because even the worst book I've read , is better than the best I could write. But this was awful. Gia comes off as a very young, flighty, gold digger. I think my least favorite character out of the thousands of books I've ever read. Typically She's the Girl in the books that is a secondary character, the slutty, drunk, gold digger trying to win the affections of the hero, not the heroine that you're supposed to be rooting for.

I liked the first book with Kris and Kat where Gia was introduced to both Tyler and Patrick. I wanted Gia and Patrick to get together as they were so hot for each other but ... I did not like the cheating and flitting between the two men. Patrick went down a notch when he moved in on Gia when she was drunk but he did stick by her. Unlike in the first book condoms were never mentioned ... just one more black mark against this story.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it will probably be the last. I couldn't find anything to either like or admire about either Gia or Patrick, the main characters, who both came across as selfish and self centred. All their actions and words came over as 'I want, I want I want' with little to no regard for anyone else.
