Barn Burner (Love the Game)


Here's Jodi Oliver's "Barn Burner." It's a novel in the multi-author series, Love The Game. 

["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."]

Safety, like home, can be both a person and a place. Brayden found both on accident. Jesse was everything, just as Brayden was everything to Jesse. Their lust was immediate, and their love was fast, but that doesn't mean it wasn't real. It was deep and beautiful. 

Plus the fact that this was a hockey romance AND a cowboy romance. Yes, yes, and all of the yes. It was possessive and romantic and spicy and sassy and beautiful. It was sunsets and long walks and horses and stolen kisses. Found family and fated love as soup for the soul.
