Dallas Devils Book 2
"Where have all the good men gone?"
Single mom Emma Swenson desperately needed a new start -- so she escaped to small town Bayfield, Ontario, where her unhinged ex can't possibly find her. With a four-year-old daughter to raise, the waitress doesn't have time to play games. But the same day Emma swears off men altogether, she meets temptation himself. Jack is tall enough to climb, built like an athlete, and maybe secretly rich. Even better? He's heart-meltingly good with kids. But Emma knows to stay away from players with reputations for breaking hearts. Besides, what her daughter needs is a strong father figure ... not another "bad boy." So why won't Jack take no for an answer? And who is he, really? "They can have my body, but they'll never have my heart again."
Hockey star Jack Hathaway stunned the sports world when he walked out on a life of fame -- and never told a soul why. No one in the tranquil lake paradise of Bayfield knows about his hockey past. And that's just the way the former captain likes it.
But the latest girl to catch his eye isn't looking for a fling. A striking blonde with a troubled smile, Emma puts her adorable daughter first -- and the single mom won't let the secretive athlete into their lives unless he proves himself worthy.
Can the muscular millionaire with a broken heart learn to love again?
Comeback is a 53,000 word small town hockey romance. This standalone novel is the second book in the Dallas Devils series. Narrated in dual POV. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA always guaranteed!
My Review:
The scandal pulled me through the previous book, and now I get to see what happened from the other side of the events. There is so much emotion and angst tied up in these pages. Emma and Jack dragged me into their world, and nothing was going to pry me loose until I saw this story through to the end. This was another ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ kind of read for me. I was so completely engrossed in watching Jack and Emma falling for each other I didn’t even notice that time was passing. And that epilogue was the most perfect way to end their book. I don’t care that I’ve just finished this one, I loved it so much I want the next one already. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
