I have been waiting for Briggs’s book for so long. Not only has he screwed up his own life. He’s also taking a whack and a couple of the earlier players on the Icehawks team. So you knew eventually we were going to learn a little more about him.
Briggs is literally skating on thin ice with the Icehawks. He has plucked their last nerve, and they’re ready to give him the heave ho. Luckily, for him one of the coaches goes to bat for him, and he gets one last chance.
Michella is the object of Briggs‘s desire. She wants to become a private eye and takes a job as an apprentice add an agency run by a tough lady detective named Carla. Michella is hoping to be able to help find a potential serial killer that she suspects could be her old boyfriend.
I really enjoyed this book, because both characters are looking to change their lives, one kicking and screaming the whole way, and the other, looking for a new path in her life that she’s pretty sure, won’t include him They both provide what’s needed to fill in the holes for each other but they are not sure they can be that one for each other.
I love a good redemption story, and this one was really good! There’s something about that damaged hero, and a spunky heroine that really gets to me. I’ve enjoyed all of Jamie Davenport’s books and I look forward to the next one in the series.
