CEO for the Prestige Media Group, Devon has fantasies about his temp assistant Becca but doesn't feel he can act on them.  When she is threatened by an ex he takes a hands on approach to protecting her.  Will he be able to keep his hands off her?

The writing was really good and the story was even better.  I really enjoyed these two.  Becca was determined to make it on her own and he was trying to do the right thing by staying away from an employee.  The miscommunication between them was sad but at least Devon makes up for it. Really good addition to the Gold Hockey Series.

Charlie used to run track and cross country in college.  Since she graduated and started working at her dream job she's very regimented on her food intake and her exercise.  While out running one night she meets Hutch Barlow.  They're attracted to each.  She's all in until she finds out he is represented by her company and there is a no fraternization policy.  Will they find away to be together?

I have never read anything by Stephanie Fournet before and this book makes me want to track down another book by her.  I enjoyed her writing and her character development of Charlie and Hutch.  Particularly because this was a short story set in the world of Gold Hockey there's always that chance that an author won't do the world justice and this was not the case.  Charlie and Hutch were so cute together and I wanted to see how they would work things out to end up together.

Marcus as represented Bryce for years.  He's also loved Ava for just as long.  When Bryce suffers a major injury and Marcus supports him on rehab vs quitting Ava will never forgive him.  Five years later she's held too this.  Bryce decides to end the feud and bring them together.  Will he be successful?  

Well written but I HATED Ava.  She wasn't someone I understood or liked.  She blamed everything on Marcus EVEN though her brother was a freaking adult.  I really liked Marcus and Bryce (Ava's twin brother).
