BLURB
NHL veteran player Kieran Marsh has had more relationships than trips to the sin bin, making him a player on and off the ice. And two years ago, I had a one night stand with him when I thought I would forever stay the anonymous girl in the hockey jersey.
But now my city has an expansion team, and guess who's one of their star players?
Of course I accept an offer to go see the opening night game. I can't stay away, even though hockey destroyed my family, and so much about Kieran reminds me of the worst things my father ever did to my mother.
And when Kieran sees me in the stands? I know nothing is going to be the same again. This is his game, and he knows how to win.

MY REVIEW
It's been a long time since he's seen the woman who's haunted him since their unforgettable night. And now she's here at one of his games. Kieran isn't letting her get away this time, even if he has to scour the city for her.
Harper promised herself she wouldn't get into the trouble her mother did with an athlete. So why is she finding herself going to one of his games after having successfully avoided him so long after their night? And why is it that she cannot seem to resist him again when he doggedly pursues her?
It isn't often I find myself reading a low key, mostly drama free sports romance, but I was lucky enough to find just that here in The Playing Game. Kieran is the sweetest of bbfs, supremely patient with Harper's push and pull, and so persistent that I am really not sure how she resisted as long as she did. I admit I perhaps wanted someone else for this swoony guy, but in the end I really liked their story, for Kieran's sweet nature and dirty mouth, and for the sweet, no drama storyline.
