USA
Today bestselling author Catherine Gayle presents another novella in the
Portland Storm hockey romance series.
There’s
only one person Portland Storm head coach Mattias Bergstrom allows to see his
soft side: his sister, who was born with Down syndrome. She lives in Sweden, so
he doesn’t worry he’ll accidentally reveal anything other than the hard-assed
defenseman-turned-coach his players know. At least not until his sister’s
doppelganger leaps for one of his young D-men before the team’s charity skills
competition and melts Mattias’s frozen heart.
Paige
Calhoun has her hands full with four exceedingly boy-crazy, hockey-loving
daughters—three teens and a pre-teen with Down syndrome. Everyday life is a
challenge. Taking all four girls to the StormSkillz event with no assistance?
The magnitude of her task was daunting enough before her youngest spotted the
hockey player of her dreams and barreled through the crowd to claim him.
The
team’s sexy-as-sin coach intervenes, and Paige feels just as boy crazy as her
daughters. Charmed by the youngest, he decides to give the girls a weekend
they’ll never forget. It never crossed his mind that, in doing so, he might end
up giving himself an unexpected happy ever after with Paige.
When
it comes to hockey, Mattias has a Home Ice advantage. But when it comes to
life? He likes the look of Paige’s arena.
MY REVIEW
Home
Ice
by Catherine Gayle is the perfect addition to her Portland Storm series. This
novella is a standalone, but I would definitely recommend reading the rest of
the series because it’s a great sports romance series and will provide some
backdrop to Mattias Bergstrom.
Mattias is the head coach of the Storm, and he is known for being hardcore on
the ice, so it’s heartening to see him soften up to Paige Calhoun and
her girls.
Paige has her hands
full handling her four girls, especially her youngest daughter, Sophie. Mattias,
or Bergy as he’s known, recognizes his own sister in Sophie, who also has Down
syndrome. I definitely fell in love with Bergy watching the way he acted toward
Sophie. He was exactly what Paige and her daughters needed, providing them
support and making sure they were taken care of. Paige deserves a medal after
dealing with four boy crazy girls, and she had my respect from the very beginning
of the story. She was an independent woman who took care of herself, but she
was still willing to allow Bergy within her life. This was a great story, and I
can’t wait to read more about these girls (hopefully)!
