Hudson Hayes, star defenseman for the DC Stars, needs help. He's been looking for a private chef for months but keeps coming up short. With the NHL season starting and no prospects in sight, he's close to giving up. Madeline Galloway needs a job. Recently let go from her executive chef position in Las Vegas, she's desperate as can be when she reaches out to an old acquaintance about a possible job opportunity.... in Washington DC. After hitting it off with her prospective employer--the blond hockey star who seems to have a heart of gold--she and her daughter, Lucy, make the move east. The rules were simple: no personal relationships. No falling for the romantic guy who always made her smile, even if they are living together and spending all their free time with each other. After a kiss on New Year's Eve, everything changes. The lines blur. Being Hudson's friend-and only his friend-is the last thing on her mind. And when Hudson learns American Sign Language for her Lucy? It might be a slap shot to Madeline's heart. Slap Shot is a spicy slow burn friends to lovers, private chef x hockey player romance with forced proximity and a man who if he wanted to, he would. Review: Love it! - Oh wow, I just love Hudson and Madeline! Actually, I love everything about this book. Reading about Hudson and Madeline is like coming back after being away from home for too long. From the love, the loyalty, and the care to the banter, laughter and raw feelings. This book got me in a chokehold - and that’s without taking the bromance between Hudson and Maverick into consideration. Those two 😭 Normally, I can get a bit annoyed if the burn is too slow or if the MCs don’t say what they actually feel, but with this book, a real SLOOOOW burn, I’m all for it. The way Maddie and Hudson take their time to get to know each other and trust each other is to die for. Slap Shot is the third book in the DC Stars. You can easily read it without having read the two first books in the series, but having read them will give you an in depth knowledge about the other characters in Slap Shot. Like the other books in the series, Slap Shot is definitely worth a read.
