Book Blurb:

He’s a hockey star with a headboard full of notches. She’s a shy NHL concession worker at who’s never been kissed.

Lindy

They don’t call me Belinda Boring for nothing. It’s my name, after all. And for a 23-year-old with plain brown hair who still lives at home and gets tongue tied over nothing, it’s a fitting one. I’m not even one of those quiet girls with a hidden talent, unless making a mean order of nachos at the NHL arena I work at counts. My life consists of working, reading and harboring a secret crush on a hockey player who doesn’t know I exist. At least, until we accidentally meet and become unlikely friends.

Victor

I’m living the dream. A poor kid who worked his way into the NHL, I’ll never forget where I came from, though I try to. My past follows me, a nagging reminder that I’ll never be what everyone thinks I am. As the threat of my secret being exposed looms closer, my game slips, leaving me in danger of being cut from my team--the only family I have. I’m losing my hold on everything when a new friend helps me find hope. She’s nothing like the women I’m used to, but by the time I figure out that’s exactly why she’s right for me, I’ve lost my chance with her. Somehow, I have to convince a woman who thinks she’s invisible that she’s the only one I see.

REVIEW

Victor is the third book in the Chicago Blaze series by Rothert and it brings us Victor and Lindy's story.

Victor is struggling with his hockey playing and knows he has to figure out what's holding him back on the ice if he wants to keep his place in the line up. A chance meeting with an unexpected woman, Lindy, turns things around for him and brings an opportunity for something more.

Lindy isn't anyone fancy, she's not well known and she's not one to be involved in anything glamorous. She loves her job and she loves hockey so when she helps Victor out late one night it gives her a good feeling.

I loved the premise of this story, the Cinderella effect, so to speak. I loved the interactions between Lindy and Victor and how they pulled me in with each word. Rothert seamlessly blended the sports and romance aspect of this story so that it all flowed well and worked together.

With fabulous characters, a compelling plot, and the perfect touches of humor, steam and romance, Victor nets a winning story.
