Hunter Mitchell is a caveman.

He’s bossy.

He’s demanding.

He always gets his way. He’s the number one ruckman in the AFL. He’s good in bed. No! Scratch that.

He’s a god in bed and he knows it.

And he’s a great mate.

But that’s all we are. Friends with benefits. Which suits me fine.

I don’t have time or energy for anything more.

Until something unexpected happens to change the game.

Now we have to figure out, is it possible for us to be something more.

EXCERPT

“Last time I saw you, we didn’t leave it on the best terms…” 

“A bit of an understatement, I’d say.” 

“Yeah well. Someone told me that the best part about fighting was the makeup sex.” 

“Oh.” 

“Yeah. But we don’t do that.” 

“No, we don’t.” Although right now I was second guessing why the hell not. He was fucking adorable when he was nervous, and it wasn’t a side of him I saw very often. 

“But I didn’t think you should miss out, so…yeah. Batteries.” 

It took a second but then it hit me like a freight train. “You bought me batteries for my vibrator?” 

I laughed. 

I laughed so hard I snorted. And possibly peed a little bit. 

“It was dumb…” 

“It’s fucking genius.”

Max Montgomery was at the height of his career, playing the best hockey of his life, and lucky enough to have a starting spot on a team that was actually a contender for the Cup.And one by one his friends were falling in love.

Love. Now that was a dirty four-letter word if he’d ever heard one. Max had experienced love and all of its aftereffects and where had that gotten him? Lonely, living in an apartment, and paying alimony to a woman who’d left him at the merest sign of a hiccup in their marriage. His only bright spot was his son. Brayden had moved back in with him a few months ago, after his mother had taken off to God knew where. Max loved having him home, but with his son only seven and him on the road for forty-two games a year, they’d struggled. Still, they’d found a way to make it work. But then Brayden threw Max a completely new curve ball. He wanted Max to find a wife. Max had been there, done that, got the crappy T-shirt as a souvenir. No way would he make himself vulnerable like that again, no matter how much his son wanted it. A puppy was a perfectly viable alternative, right? At least that was what he’d been thinking until he met Angelica Shallows, sister to the team’s Physical Therapist guru, Mandy, and a brilliant engineer in her own right. She was gorgeous, smart, but had shadows in her eyes. Max knew all about shadows, knew they were meant as a sign for him to stay away. What was that about the best intentions paving the road to hell? Max may have wanted to stay away, may have wanted to abide the warning signs in Angie’s eyes, but— The real trouble began when found that he couldn’t do either of those things.

About the Author:

Aside from writing romance, Elise's passions are chocolate, Star Wars, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team -- the Sharks! -- are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise is the mom to two exuberant boys and is thoroughly addicted to Dancing With the Stars.

5 adorable stars!! OMG this book is just so cute and sweet! It's everything I need in a hocky romance!!

Max has sworn off commitment the minute he was divorced. The slight mention of commitment and he's off running fast and far away. The only thing in his life that he needs is his son Brayden! That boy is everything to him, but Brayden wants to see his daddy happy and he wants him to be married. In come Angelica... and that's when the whole book just comes to life!! I can't even tell you how beautiful and adorablel this book is! I love a good hockey romance and this book hits all the spots I needed hit!
