“Kelly Jamieson is my go-to author for hockey romance.”—Jami Davenport

He’s playing hurt. She’s laying low. And they’re both flirting with disaster.

Chase: The last thing I’d ever want to do is let my team down. After overcoming my bad-boy reputation, I was dominating on the ice. But things aren’t going so well this season, and even my parents think I’m partying again. Now I’m really worried about my career. The only bright spot in my life is the Twitter flirtation I’ve struck up with pop princess Jordyn Banks. Turns out she’s a huge hockey fan—and she’s willing to wager a date on her favorite team. . . .

In this day and age it isn’t a stretch for people to meet and form a bond on social media even if they are both celebrities and that’s why I found Playing Hurt to be timely and charming. There was something sweet about these two with their verbal Twitter sparring, their bets, their unique dates, and how despite some bumps in the road the caring and feelings they had for one another never ceased. I loved this book and the easy way they fell into a relationship neither one thought they could have.

Chicago Aces pro hockey player Chase Hartman has a bit of a crush on up and coming singer Jordyn Banks so when she follows him on Twitter he might be a wee bit excited, but when they begin to chat regularly on Twitter things really heat up between them including a bet that lands him a date with her.

I have to say that this book while it did have some heavy and tough moments the romance was a breath of fresh air. I loved how comfortable they were with each other from the start, the unassuming first date they both enjoyed immensely, their concern for one another when things weren’t going well, and the fact that despite their differences they trusted one another immensely. There was a realness to their relationship and they didn’t flash it around, while they knew people talked about them and they were photographed together, they didn’t purposely plan outings that would garner them publicity.

At times I got frustrated with them both for not communicating as well as they should, but on the other hand I admired the way Jordyn was on Chase’s side no matter what even when he couldn’t see it and how Chase constantly kept Jordyn’s spirits up when she needed it and let her know that he had faith in her always.

Easy to read, fun, enjoyable, sweet, and sexy you don’t want to miss Kelly Jamieson’s Playing Hurt.
