Mr. Perfect has found his kind of trouble…
Professional hockey player Zac Elliott is in top form. He’s having the best season of his career, the local fans can’t get enough of him, and he’s in the middle of the most successful contract negotiations of his career. When the sexy little spark between Zac and the team owner’s daughter blazes to life, no matter how forbidden, he can’t resist.
Philanthropist Heather Ryan can’t keep her hands off of Zac. If her father finds out, it could end Zac’s career and ruin her reputation. What they share is deeply passionate and intensely private...until the press exposes their illicit relationship.
Now the fans have viciously turned against Heather, Zac’s game is faltering, and even his team has deserted him. The only way out of the penalty box is for Zac to play hockey like life— and love—depends on it...

5 stars *****
I have a tiny weakness for sports
related books, although I’m slightly incapable of understanding
even the most basic rules of any game or what the positions do I am
rather fond of hot, sweaty, six-pack adorning athletes who have a
penchant for going after what or who they want.
Flirting On Ice was a delightful little
novella about an ice hockey star falling for his boss’s daughter, a
big no-no since he is in the middle of contract negotiations with
said boss and understandably the relationship is a conflict of
interest for all parties involved, of course a touch of lust and
ignorance of the consequences leads to some media fuelled drama and
the hockey teams anger.
The usual problem I have with novellas
is that they try to compact too much in to too little and often times
the story and the characters are compromised by this, not so here.
The writing flows so smoothly and the storyline progresses at a good
steady rate with some lovely characterisation in not only the hero
and heroine but in the small snippet we get in the side players. Zac
and Heather, our two main protagonists are so likeable and well
rounded thanks largely in part to Veronica and Susan’s ability to
construct and mold two great romantic leads in such a quick amount of
time, by the end of chapter one I was already rooting for them.
There is just enough forbidden romance, angst and tension to throw
the equilibrium off a rather sweet romance until we get to that show
stopping rom-com worthy finale. A fantastic wee read for the colder
nights because there is nothing quite as hot as an ice hockey hero
who will go to the ends of the earth to secure the woman he loves.
Five stars for Veronica and Susan.
