Includes "Crashing the Boards" novella as bonus material. Hockey star Cooper Black and professional party crasher Izzy Maxwell return in this sequel to Crashing the Boards.

Jealous boyfriends and glitzy parties can be a recipe for disaster.

When the gorgeous yet controlling Cooper interrupts a party Izzy was paid to crash and almost ruins her career as a professional party crasher, Izzy kicks him to the curb. She learned early in life not to count on anyone, and she will not relinquish her independence, not even to a sexy-as-sin pro athlete who can melt her heart with one wink.

As the Sockeyes hockey team opens their inaugural season in Seattle, Cooper finds himself minus a girlfriend and plus a surly teenaged nephew. Cooper doesn't want to be a surrogate dad, he doesn't want to play in Seattle, and he doesn't want to be alone. He misses Izzy, but seeing her with other men at parties turns him every shade of green. Regardless, he wants her back, and he's willing to change, if only she'll give him a second chance. Aware of her precarious finances, Cooper makes an offer she can't refuse by hiring her to be responsible for his nephew when he's traveling with the team.

Fearing Cooper isn't capable of changing his control-freak ways, Izzy resists his efforts to turn their financial arrangement into a personal relationship. He needs a sweet, docile girlfriend, and Izzy cannot be that woman. Yet, when tragedy strikes, Izzy is there when Cooper needs her the most, and love has a way of getting what it wants, no matter the circumstances.

Really enjoyed!

This was a really good book about Cooper coming to grips with his hockey team moving to Seattle and finding out he has a nephew that is moving in with him. Izzy crashes the hockey party Cooper is at and he can't quit looking at her. Izzy tries to get Cooper to dance, but he is being stubborn. Cooper can't quit thinking about Izzy and tracks her down. She can't fight the temptation and they give in to a no strings relationship that quickly turns out to have strings. Cooper has to learn to come to terms with his past before he can move on and have a real relationship with Izzy and his nephew. Cooper's hockey team also realizes what a great opportunity it is to play in Seattle and embrace their new team, now to get Cooper on board. So much going on, but the ending was really good and emotional!!

Loved most of it, but read it twice

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016

I loved most of the book and the story of Izzy and Cooper, I still think the book before this one should have been added to the front of this one instead of making us buy it as a separate book/novella. I love the cast of characters and getting to know everyone better as we get further into the series. Another problem I have with the story is that we were 48% into the book before it was revealed that there even was a reason for Cooper's hatred of Seattle, i t kind of felt like it was thrown in as an afterthought.
I just read it for the second time, and saw that the story before it was combined with it in the anthology of the first 3 books. I just love the characters that this author has created and wanted to come back and get to know Riley again before he gets his own book this month

I love this series!

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016

This is a great book 3 of the series and can be read as a stand alone. I love the series so far, so I recommend reading the whole series. At least read book 2 because it introduces us to Izzy and Cooper who are the main characters in book 3. This continues their story and gives us an HEA.

This was an actual emotional read at times. Hitting on events that could actually happen that the thought of scares me daily. This story had depth to it. It wasn't just a standard boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, the end.

Good story line, awesome characters that I was able to fall in love with (Esp. Riley), easy to visualize descriptions to details and engaging dialogue.

All in all, a fantastic read.

Would I recommend this book? Yes!

Would I read more from this author? Yes

This book scores a hat trick!

We originally met Izzy Maxwell and Cooper Black in Jami Davenport's Crashing the Boards and while the sparks flew between them upon their first meeting, things have decidedly cooled at the beginning of this sequel due to the jealous and controlling ways that plague Cooper. When Cooper almost ruins one of the parties that Izzy and her sisters are crashing, she calls it quits with the star hockey player. Izzy is determined to stick to her original plan - only rely on herself and nobody else.

While Cooper prepares to start training camp, he's surprised when his teenage nephew shows up on his doorstep after his mother abandons him only leaving his uncle's address for the young boy to find. Cooper knows he's in over his head and while he's desperately trying to figure out what to do with a moody teenager, he's also missing Izzy something fierce and fighting demons from his own childhood that are seeping into every part of his daily life now.

Needing the woman he is falling for in his life, and knowing that Izzy is struggling financially, Cooper agrees to try to change his jealous ways if only she'll give him a second chance. With Izzy back in his life helping to care for his nephew, Riley, Cooper finally feels like he's got things going in the right direction. That is until he realizes that both Izzy and Riley are becoming more permanent in his life than he intended them to.

When tragedy strikes, Cooper turns to the one person he instinctively reaches for - Izzy. Will Cooper and Izzy be able to overcome not only the scary situation they are immersed in, but the demons from both their pasts that threaten their future?

I loved this book! Jami Davenport did a fantastic job immersing us in the lives of these characters and really making us feel all that they are as we move through the story. I would highly recommend this book, and the entire Game On in Seattle series. I would suggest that if you haven't read Crashing the Boards that you do so before reading this book.

Can't wait for the next book in this series!

She hunts the ridgetops.

Good, but badly edited. Missing multiple words!

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

A writer starts off with a good plan, a potentially good story, then doesn't follow through... editing is the polish that makes it a professional grade read. To do less is insulting to avid readers, without which a writer has no foundation. It's senseless.

That's where this story went awry. What could have been a great story is rendered internet level mediocre (barely average).

Eh, it's worth a try. If you don't mind making sense out of sentences missing key words.

Professional hockey is Cooper's life. When his team gets bought out and moved to Seattle he is determined to get traded. Seattle holds the worst memories for him. Izzy is a professional party crasher. Her job is to get Cooper to have fun at a party knowing he leads his team and none of them are happy to be in Seattle. Then his nephew comes to live with him and he needs Izzy's help. The book deals with issues such as abandonment, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug use, and shooting. Overall it is a terrific story.

Well written, action packed, emotional, page turner hockey romance. Hockey team relocated to Seattle. Fell for a party crasher. A nephew he didn't know existed shows up. This is Izzy and Cooper's story.

This book had up and down, up and down again, and again. It was like riding a roller coaster in an emotional way. I'm really not sure that I would read any of the other books in the series, but I think readers would enjoy this book.

Cooper was a hard and fast single man, he didn't want a relationship he just wanted to play hockey and moving to Seattle wasn't the place he wanted to be. He met Izzy and they had an instant attraction and when he needed help with his young nephew she was there for them booth. He enjoyed her company and gradually realised he didn't like being without her. She knew he wanted to move and tried hard not to fall for him.

Jami Davenport combines my love of hockey and my love of romance. I enjoy the interweaving of novels in her series, and reading about Izzy and her sisters. I’m looking to finish the series.

Cooper and Izzy have a few false starts before they get their happy ever after. Cooper's nephew comes to stay and Izzy helps out. She's there when Cooper needs her most. I've read other books in this series but Cooper is my favourite.
