Purple wig, red lips, and a flirty smile-those are the only things Austin Blakely remembers when he wakes up tied to his bed... It's Austin's job as the enforcer for the New York Rangers hockey team to strike fear in the hearts of grown men. But if Manhattan's notorious gossip magazine, The Whisperer, catches wind of his dating fail-or worse, took a picture of him in his compromised state-his reputation and career could be ruined. Magnolia Cross is still running from rumors that robbed her of the interview of a lifetime... Intern reporter for the Madison Square Garden news affiliate isn't Magnolia's idea of a dream job. She doesn't even like hockey. But it's experience on-air, and that's what counts. After a prank-gone-wrong leaves her stripped of her Valedictorian title, she loses her initial chance at making it big. But now she's stronger and smarter, and won't let trust issues screw her out of her chance for success-again. One bad interview and two million YouTube hits later, Magnolia is a media sensation-for all the wrong reasons... Stupid Austin Blakely with his cocky smile and hockey lingo gibberish. After he embarrasses her on national television in the name of harmless flirting, Magnolia vows never to interview him again. Except avoiding Austin is easier said than done. It isn't long before Magnolia discovers the real source of Austin's fears. It's all about the seductress in the purple wig-unless it's about the pictures she stole that could change all their lives forever...… (més)

This was my first read by Savannah Blevins. After reading the blurb, I was enticed and utterly attracted to the possibilities in this book. I am so pleased to have taken a chance on the book, as it was brilliant. I truly enjoyed the story and the colourful characters that graced the pages. Id thought that Blevins’ writing was exciting and very engaging.

The characters, an enforcer for a hockey team and a driven reporter, both have something they want and things they want hidden. We read along as they strive to have the lives they have always aimed for, but each meets a bump in the road that was, well, entirely unexpected. After a poor interview and a purple wig make an appearance, both find they are trying to find their ways forward.

Magnolia is a driven and talented young lady. However, she hasn’t had the opportunity to live up to her potential, due to an incident that has left her shrouded in rumours. She tries to stay in front of them and away from Austin, but things never work out, and this smart, sassy reporter has to really take things as they are thrown as her. I liked how she reacted and the way she took things. I found her a very refreshing character.

Austin is your typical burly sports man, but being a hockey enforcer takes that to a whole new level of muscle. Everything he is is about appearance. If his appearance were ruined, he would be to because no one fears an enforcer who’s a laughing stock. I found him a mix. Sometimes I was annoyed and angry with him and the way he thought, with his tough attitude and entitled air. However, over the pages, I learned that there was more to him and as his depth grew, so did my feelings for him.

The pace of the story was good. It was exciting throughout, really keep my blood pumping and me cheering for the outcome I wanted. I thought the detail was brilliant. Even if you don’t know much of hockey, you’ll shift right in and enjoy this book. It also allowed for us to really get to know the characters and why they felt the way they did or needed to do what they did.

Overall, this is a fun and exciting sport read. I love a bit of hockey and this book really takes the excitement to the next level. I recommend giving it a read. I know I’ll be off to read more from this author as well.

**I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. ( )
