Did anyone else here win an ARC of this? It comes out March 6.

I just finished reading it. I liked it. I liked the others in the series, too, but this one felt more real to me. The characters seemed to have more going on and I felt like there was more to the story between the two of them and less of all the other people, which I liked.

I don't think you'd need to read the others in the series (it's a sports series) to like this one. I say this because, though I have read the other books and have them on my bookshelf, I only vaguely remembered the other people mentioned until there was a bit of a refresh on in this book. Oh right, I thought, I remember that couple. And that other couple.

This one is about the hockey player and the bartender. There were two before this and I think there is another one or two after it. It is centered on a family, so beware to those who don't like the "franchise" thing. ;)

One thing I like about this author is her ability to include the reader even though the reader may have no clue about motorcycles or sports. I have read books that have sports players as characters before and it is upsetting when people are saying stuff and I have no clue what they mean. There are sports references and descriptions of play in this book but it was all understandable.

I'm going to have to stop entering contests for ARCs. I just have no clue how to write a book review. LOL. I hope I covered the high points here.

I have this book on pre-order from Overstock.com.

I'm so jealous that you won an ARC!!!!

I love the cover for Jaci's sport series. Glad you enjoyed Taking a Shot. I'm looking for reviews of the first two books. I would appreciate any opinions. Thank you.

I haven't read this author for at least a couple years. There was a time, when I would pick up everything by her.
