HAPPY RELEASE DAY CATHERINE GAYLE

GHOST DANCE IS LIVE!!


He had it all.And lost it in an instant.
The night Dmitri Nazarenko won hockey’s Holy Grail, he lost more than he ever bargained for. With a world of guilt weighing him down, Dima can never forgive himself for his tragic misjudgment. Turning his body into a shrine of past mistakes, he hides behind tattoos that memorialize his failures and a beard that masks his pain.

But London Hawke sees right through him. The fiery woman refuses to pity a man like him. No stranger to incurable injuries, London lets nothing stand in the way of living her life. Seeing an able-bodied man haunted by the ghosts of his past is a surefire way to trigger her annoyance, and that’s exactly what she finds in Dima.

When they face off, it becomes a battle of wills. Their constant bickering turns to an unavoidable dance between the sheets. But she won’t accept sharing a bed with the past for long. Will Dima learn to fight his demons, or will London leave him to dance with his ghosts alone?


MY REVIEW

    


Hockey and Romance are melded once again in Catherine Gayle’s Ghost Dance about Dmitri Nazarenko (Dima) and London Hawke and displays the newest team, the Tulsa Thunderbirds. I have been loving this new series, whose guys aren’t the wholesome ones you knew in the Portland Storm series, and shows her versatility. Dima is a NHL player who can’t get over a poor decision that happened years ago, while London is the one determined to help set him free. Having experienced her own problems which left her in a wheelchair she knows all too well than to wallow in her own grief.

They both are trapped by their own issues stemming from an accident that happened years ago and its London’s stubborn nature that brings them together. She is as tenacious as a dog with a bone, refusing to let him or anyone wallow in their own pity and grief. You truly see the change in him, and watch the positive strides he makes in his own life to move past his own guilt. London does her own soul searching, and realizes she can’t demand others to drink the koolaid if she isn’t willing to take a glass as well. If anything I would say that I loved the journey these two took together to end up in the same place. The usual cast of characters enhanced the story, and it was nice to see the updates from team members we’ve grown to love. The drama itself was less angsty, having more to do with their relationship than anything else, but it was a great ride. And that ending will leave you looking around wanting the next book NOW. It’s not a cliffhanger for the couples, but rather a buildup of what’s to come. I can’t wait. Another winner and I slurped it up with my sports romance loving heart.
