Brooklyn Bruisers Book 8: Bombshells by Sarina Bowen

Brooklyn Bruisers Book 8

The women's league is in the house! And Brooklyn will never be the same again for Anton Bayer and the team…

This is my last chance to ditch my playboy reputation and finally fulfill my potential. So I’ve made three rules for our biggest season yet: no boozing, no women, and no scandals.

Especially that last thing.

So who do I befriend on the very first day back at the rink? An amazing female hockey player. I want Sylvie in a way that’s more than just friendly. I crave her. But I have a championship to win, and so does she.

Then she gets her heart broken by my teammate, and I make the foolish mistake of comforting her in the best way I know how. Our night together sets off a string of sins.

Nobody can know about our affair, especially my overprotective teammate. I can’t let anyone see into my greedy little heart. Not even her.

The things I want from her, and the things we’ve already done? If anyone knew, there’d be bombshells.

Contains: a defenseman with dreamy blue eyes, a female goalie with bad ideas, a major battle of the sexes and a swimming pool scene...

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Baby Bayer! It's Anton's turn and since it has been a while since I read the last Brooklyn Bruisers book, it was a delightful reminder of why I love this series so much. The humor, the characters, the romance, and of course hockey! So good! I picked up the book and didn't put it back down until I was done. I couldn't get enough. So this story follows Anton and Sylvie. Anton is on his third season and he knows he needs to step it up. No matter messing around or getting bad publicity. It's all about the focus and being the best player he can be. And though he follows his rules and gets his act together before the season starts, things come to a screeching halt when he meets Sylvie. Because he may have gotten rid of the other distractions but Sylvie is nothing like he expected. She is his biggest surprise and may change everything. Sylvie is one of the goalies recruited for the new women's hockey team, the Brooklyn Bombshells. Taking the chance to live an adventure, she ventures from Ontario to Brooklyn for a an opportunity of a lifetime. And it just so happens, the guy she has loved all her life is on the Brooklyn team. (And no, that's not Anton.) She wonders if it is fate and something can finally happen between them. As she tries to figure out what she wants, she finds a friend in Anton. This gorgeous hockey player on the Bruisers team and a guy who becomes a great friend to her. Though she can't help but wonder about the chemistry between them. And when the guy she thought she loves constantly rejects her because he wants to focus on the game, she finally realizes perhaps it was never meant to be and she is ready to move. The chemistry between Anton and Sylvie is fantastic. Their friendship is so real and genuine it makes everything so much sweeter between the two of them when they take their friendship to a new level. Loved, loved their story. So fun and hilarious and you can't help but turn the pages to see how the two of them will realize they are perfect for one anther. And we were introduced to some great new players on the Bruisers as well as the women from the Bombshells. There are several books I need to see after meeting these new characters. Great book! And I can't wait for more!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
