| Brooklyn Bruisers Book 2 |
He’s a fighter in the rink, but he’s about to learn that playing nice can help you score...
As team captain and enforcer, Patrick O'Doul puts the bruise in the Brooklyn Bruisers. But after years of hard hits, O'Doul is feeling the burn, both physically and mentally. He conceals his pain from his coach and trainers, but when his chronic hip injury becomes too obvious to ignore, they send him for sessions with the team’s massage therapist.
After breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, Ari Bettini is in need of peace of mind. For now, she’s decided to focus on her work: rehabilitating the Bruisers’ MVP. O'Doul is easy on the eyes, but his reaction to her touch is ice cold. Ari is determined to help O'Doul heal, but as the tension between them turns red hot, they both learn that a little TLC does the body good...

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Great story! So fun to get to Patrick and Ari's book. When we meet Patrick he's pretty closed off and you don't know what to make of him. Is he a jerk? Just too serious? But in this story we get to find out why he is the way he is. Patrick's job on the ice is a tough one. He's their fighter. He expects to go into the rink each night and come out bruised and bleeding. He hates the dread and anxiety that come with knowing someone's fist is coming for you. Which explains why he avoids Ari's yoga class and massage sessions she does for the team. But after being forced to go to treat his hip, he learns to trust Ari little by little. Something he has never really done with anyone before. Meanwhile, Ari recently left a really bad relationship. She thinks the best thing for her right now is to avoid dating and just get her crazy ex out of her life for good. What she doesn't expect is her attraction to Patrick or the fact that her ex has been up to some shady things and is threatening her safety. Couldn't put this story down and I can't wait for the next one!
