Il Codice (Ice Dragon's #1) esce il 7 Novembre


Trama

Innamorarsi della sorella del suo migliore amico gli era sembrata una buona idea, a quel tempo.

La vita e la carriera di Ryan Flynn nella squadra di hockey degli Ice Dragons sono scandite da un codice: amicizia, lealtà, rispetto, guida e protezione. Quando la sorella del suo migliore amico lo chiama perché la riaccompagni a casa dopo una rapina, è solo con un enorme sforzo di volontà che Ryan si ricorda che per lui la ragazza è off-limits. Non importa che lei rappresenti una tentazione troppo forte per un uomo già sull’orlo del precipizio: Ryan ha promesso a suo fratello che non permetterà a nessuno sportivo professionista di avvicinarla, e ciò include anche lui.

Kat ha desiderato Ryan Flynn sin dal primo momento in cui lo ha visto, ma c’è un problema: il giocatore di hockey è il migliore amico di suo fratello e i due sono legati da un complicato codice cavalleresco, sia fuori che dentro la pista. Quando lui la salva e la riporta a casa, Kat gli chiede un bacio e Ryan è ben felice di accontentarla. Le cose, però, sfuggono loro repentinamente di mano quando quel singolo bacio si trasforma in qualcosa da tenere nascosto al fratello di lei.

Riuscirà Ryan, il coriaceo difensore dei Dragons, a non vedere Kat come qualcosa di più che la sorella del suo migliore amico? E riuscirà Kat a catturare e tenere per sé quel “drago” che rappresenta la sua metà?

Vegas Baby - Katie Kenyhercz MF Hockey Romance

Lady Sinners Book 1 - MF, Hockey, Romance

Welcome to Katie, the author of some of the first hockey books I read (The Sinners series - details here).

* * * * *

As captain of the dance team for the NHL's Las Vegas Sinners, it's Miranda Evans' job to make sure a quality product goes on the ice between periods whether it's choreographed numbers or short scrimmages, but she's not blind. Her squad gets eye rolls and applause in equal measure. The chance to start a community intramural hockey league is her shot at legitimizing the Lady Sinners, but there's a catch. To maximize good press, Miranda has to work with a retired Sinner who's shut himself off from everyone in the organization. He's stubborn, broken, and unwilling to say the least, but in unguarded moments she can see the man underneath, and he might just be worth fighting for.

Ben Collier's NHL career came to a crashing halt a little over a year ago when a monster hit paralyzed him from the waist down. Feeling is coming back at a mind-numbingly slow pace. He's attacking rehab to the point of obsession. All he wants is to be left alone to focus on his three goals: walk, skate, play hockey. He absolutely doesn't need the distraction of the beautiful cheerleader who won't give him a moment's peace, but her optimism rubs off when he's not looking. Despite himself, the glass is starting to look half full for the first time since his injury. And that's terrifying. To love something means to accept the risk of losing it, and he's not sure he can do that again.

Nora Roberts & head hopping


I'm currently listening to the audio of book 1 in the Chesapeake series from my hero Nora Roberts.

God I love the brothers in this story. Book 1 is Cam's story and, sighs, how I love him and Philip and Ethan... and of course Seth.

If you like MF, then this is my FIRST recommendation to you. I can't begin to explain how much I love these books!

But... the head hopping between characters is disconcerting ... and i realized I posted about this in 2013 and what I said then is pretty much what I would say now...

Previous post:

I received a lovely book for Christmas from my sister, a two story Nora Roberts paperback.

I haven't read any Nora for the longest time but her Chesapeake series is on my list of most favorite books of all time. She is my comfort read.


Thing is, I've read about three chapters and have a pointed question.

She head hops like woooahhhh... One minute we are in the guys head, then the girls, then the kid's. We even have a random paragraph in the guy's bit from his dog's POV.

I used to read Nora Roberts all the time, and I love her but I didn't realize how much she head hops. Yet, as a writer, I am told not to head hop at all. Told that a chapter, or at least a defined scene is from one POV and that is it.

Does this kind of single POV writing make us lazy readers?

I must admit where I used to read Nora's writing and follow it perfectly, this book is throwing me out of sorts with it's sudden changes in direction. Is it because head hopping is wrong? Or should we all be writing with as many POVs in our books as possible.

Is it that we have gone too far the other way by restricting our POVs?

Incidentally, look at the cover of the book next to New York Christmas... stock photography FTW... but we got there first.... he he
