Brenda Rothert certainly delivered the goods with this novel, everything about it felt designed perfectly for my reading tastes and I was left feeling like i’d had my cake and eaten it. I’m never going to have enough of my addiction to a sexy romance book and this author lovingly provided a reading escape that I’ve been craving. I wasn’t at all surprised that I fell for this novel as I loved the two previous books of this series and so I was already expecting to enjoy what this author would bring to the third book in the ‘fire on ice’ series and I can happily review that i proved myself right, Brenda Rothert writes steamy-dreamy romances that are superbly written, heartfelt and loveable. You won’t find any complaints in this review, Brenda Rothert is an author that I have grown to adore.

What’s it all about?

After a serious injury on the ice, NHL star Luke Hudson is now on the road to recovery. Part of his rehabilitation means he has to start back to basics and recover at a minor league club. Little did he know that his determination wouldn’t be his only focus, when Luke meets the feisty, red headed trainer, Adella ‘Dell’ Price he can’t quite believe how she makes him want more and as the story develops so does the growing feelings between Luke and Dell. But this couple encounter more difficulties than would be expected especially when a non fraternisation policy is enforced putting a stop to their growing chemistry and need for each other. Jump aboard this gorgeous romance and fall in love alongside the irresistible Luke Hudson, you won’t regret it, not for a minute.

What did I love?

It’s no secret that I love a sports themed romance and one that is hockey related is even more of a win win. Brenda Rothert created two extremely likeable characters coupled with a great plot and fabulous erotic story telling. There was nothing about his book that didn’t appeal to me. If like me you like a slow burn romance with a believable storyline then you will adore this book. The chemistry and realistic development of relationship really won me over and I never once wanted to skip over a scene or felt distracted from the novel instead I felt like I couldn’t wait to get back to reading this gorgeous romantic story and escape into my kindle. Brenda Rothert certainly puts the ‘s’ in the sexy, her erotic scenes may not be the dirtiest or most kinky that I have read but they definitely left an impression, this author can write with a sensuality that gets the toes curling and heart thumping and I must admit I’ll never be looking at a washing machine or shower again in the same way. Rothert’s books have the undeniable blush factor coupled with a swoony romance factor that brings home the butterflies that I’m always on the look out for. As for the characters there was a predictability with the man-whore turned one woman man hero, but don’t be put off I for one can’t get enough of re telling those type of characters as for the heroine she was a feisty, but vulnerable and extremely likeable single mum with a gorgeous best friend that I’m already hoping the author will write a book for. All in all I was blown away by this third instalment to the ‘Fire on ice’ series and I can gladly confess that Luke Hudson won my heart.

Final thoughts …

This book easily kept me glued to my kindle and if it wasn’t for the 6AM alarm clock waiting to drag me out of bed for work I would have devoured this lovely book in one sitting. Brenda Rothert creates stories that suck you right into the middle of the action and make you fall helplessly in love. If you like well written romances with characters that will leave you with a smile on your face then you don’t want to miss out on this series. I’m already getting ready to beg this author to continue on with this series I’m not ready to say goodbye to it just yet. Go grab it readers, enjoy … Kisses.
