Brax and Jaz hit it off at Brax's sister's wedding where Jaz is a bridesmaid. But after magical night, he ghosts her! 

But the past can't stay in the past because when Jaz lists a rooms in her house to rent to cover her mortgage, they get filled with hockey players. And surprise, Brax is one of them!

Jaz had no clue Brax was coming to play on the Crushers, and to make things more complicated, she's the team's new community relations manager.

And when she learns of some shady dealings behind the scenes, she has to add saving the team to her task list under figuring out how to pay her sister's medical bills and fix up her house. How can she possibly juggle her feelings for Brax too? 
_____ 
This book hit all the great hockey rom com tropes while centering the team dynamic and setting us up for hopefully more Crushers books!

Jaz and Brax are both characters who carry the weight of those they love on their shoulders and I loved how they, along with the found family here, encourage each other to not shoulder those burdens alone. 

This book is funny and very sexy while still fully being clean. This is only my second Grace Worthington, but I plan to definitely keep reading her books. 
_____
This is a closed door, kisses only rom com. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. 
Content Warnings. (from author): panic attacks/anxiety, death of a parent (past), brain injury (side character), being ghosted by text (IYKYK)

Thanks to the author for the gifted book. No favorable review required. All opinions are my own.
