Brooklyn Bruisers Book 1: Rookie Movie by Sarina Bowen

Brooklyn Bruisers Book 1

The first novel in a sexy new series featuring the hockey players of the Brooklyn Bruisers and the women who win their hearts—from the USA Today bestselling author of the Ivy Years series.

In high school they were the perfect couple—until the day Georgia left Leo in the cold...

Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he’s called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides, first by the team’s coach—who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers’ sexy, icy publicist—his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington.

Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do—and saying hello again isn’t much easier. Georgia is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, but when a press conference microphone catches Leo declaring his feelings for her, things get really personal, really fast....

My Review: 5/5 Stars

So I loved that I discovered that this series is kind of a sequel series to the Ivy Years series. Because one, hockey and two, we meet Leo and even a bit of Georgia in that series. So is definitely nice to get their story and have them back together. We get pieces of their past in the Ivy Years series, but now we get their points of view and it was a great story. Of course, I read it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Leo has finally got a chance to be in the NHL and on day one he realizes that one, his ex's father is the coach and two, his ex works for the team. Complicated, but Leo quickly realizes that he isn't going to lose Georgia again. No way. Georgia is shocked when Leo is put on the team she works publicity for. She knows that she pushed him away when they were 18 but she always regretted. Their chemistry is still there between them, their real challenge is communication. Clearing the air and talking about everything. Especially the bad stuff. And then there is the problem of the possibility that Leo can be traded at any moment. Great story! Can't wait for the next one.
