Review / Release Blitz: Hot Shot’s Mistake (Tennessee Thunderbolts #1) by Gina Azzi

Title: Hot Shot's Mistake
Series: Tennessee Thunderbolts #1
Author: Gina Azzi
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: May 12, 2022

BLURB
Tangling up with my new physical therapist, Mila Lewis, is a mistake. One I can’t seem to stop making.

When I sign with the Tennessee Thunderbolts, I have two goals: prove my injury hasn’t benched my career and get back to New York.

But then, I meet Mila, the enigmatic therapist tasked with rehabbing my shoulder.

With her long ponytail, professional demeanor, and girl-next-door look, Mila is nothing like my usual type. She’s better—a good girl with sad eyes and a tragic past our small-town loves to dissect.

With the entire town up in her business, our budding connection is far from simple. I’m not staying, and Mila will never leave.

Deep down, I know I should walk away and let her find the happily-ever-after she deserves.

But I can’t. Not without showing her that it could be me.

And that may be the biggest mistake of all.

MY REVIEW

Mia had a relationship with a professional athlete, and it cured her of ever wanting one again. That's why it's really too bad her newest PT client is not only an athlete (hockey), but arrogant and broody af. She can't control that she's attracted to the guy, but she can definitely avoid anything that's not professional with him. Right? Or wrong...because when Devon seems to let go of the chip on his shoulder a bit, she sees through him and realizes he's a wonderful guy and soon they're falling, hard. But can the woman who will never leave her small town make a relationship work with the guy who's dead set on being traded up to a big city team as soon as possible?


Devon's plan when he got traded to the Thunderbolts was to heal up from the injury that got him traded to this small ass town, then get his agent on the ball to getting him traded back to a team in a big city. Bumping into a gorgeous woman who turns out to be his new PT puts all his plans in a tailspin, though, and now he's faced with choosing what's more important: his career or a future with the small town girl he's fallen for. Choosing shouldn't be so hard, after all, has had a plan since he got here. But maybe, just maybe plans can change...

I'm always excited when I hear of a new sports series, and my expectations were more than met with Gina's new hockey world. Mia is adorable - sweet with a loving but bruised heart, and Devon ended up being the perfect guy for her. I'll admit that he was a bit much in the beginning, before his arrogance and broody ways were shown to just be masking the great guy underneath his douchey hockey face. I ended up loving them together, and falling in love with the secondary cast just as much, like the friends Mia re-established ties with, Cohen, and her ex's team, and her bestie Maisy, whose story is next I believe. I can't wait to dive back into this excellent hockey series now that I've fallen in love with the first couple.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
