Love the Game Book 3: Barn Burner by Jodi Oliver

 

Love the Game Book 3

I’ve ridden a Zamboni, but never a cowboy…

Missing out on my first Stanley Cup has left me more torn up than I expected. It was in my sights. So close, I could almost touch it.

With my brother back in England, I’m facing nothing but an empty house and my thoughts, and there’s only two ways to soothe my mind:

The ice and nature.

But when I pack up my car and head out into the Alberta wilderness, my bad luck lands me in the reluctant hands of a grumpy cowboy with a perpetual scowl.

I shouldn’t get involved with Jesse.

His life is the ranch, whereas my life is hockey.

So why do I allow myself to fall for him so hard?

And why do I keep my real identity a secret?

I live for barn burners, but this is one I might not survive.

Barn Burner is book three in the Love the Game sports shared world, featuring books from Willow Thomas, Becca Steele, EM Denning, Becca Seymour, Becca Jackson, EM Lindsey, and Cora Rose.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

After losing the Stanley Cup, Brayden is desperate to escape the harsh media spotlight and get some much needed space. So he packs his car and heads into nature. But his bad luck takes a turn when his car breaks down in the middle of the wilderness. Though maybe it’s good luck when a very handsome cowboy comes to his rescue. Brayden is not at all upset when Jesse rescues him and his family opens up their hone and ranch for him while they wait for his car to be fixed. Because not only is Jesse’s ranch exactly what Brayden needed, turns out he needed Jesse too. At first Jesse is wary of the fact that Brayden is there. A really attractive tourist is bound to leave as soon as he can and not look back. So opening his heart to Brayden can’t happen. Yet the more they get to know one another and spend time together, well they can’t help but hope for a future. But with them both having demanding jobs, is it even possible? Loved Brayden and Jesse! Their chemistry was so great and they were just so utterly adorable. I loved getting to know them and watch them fall in love. They are exactly what the other needed and have been waiting for.  A fun story all around and a great addition to this series!  

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
