Well if you like men big and sexy read this first box set
Of the Las Vegas Sidewinders. These guys are hot.
The story lines were great. Characters (did I mention the guys are hot) were great. I binge read this first set. I’m not really a hockey person but I love to read about them. The guys are sexy and hot, yeah yeah I know I mentioned this before. Now the woman they are great too. They are strong (one not so much to begin with but she becomes strong)they are all believable characters. I laughed,cried and did a head scratch a few times. ❤️ Now I always let you all know up front if there is descriptive sex. That is a yes. Come on they play a ruff sport and when they are not playing hockey, no they are not always having sex off the ice. Ha I know what you thought I was going to say. But if you like hockey yes hot men and sexy scenes Read this set of books. Robin
Las Vegas Sidewinders Box Set Volume 1
by Kat Mizera
Are you ready to fall in love... with the Las Vegas Sidewinders? This box set includes books 1-4 of the Las Vegas Sidewinders series.
DOM: Dom Gianni takes a lot of punishment in the hockey rink, but when he sees Molly McCarran getting beaten up by her husband, he’s ready to throw down his gloves and fight for her. But Molly isn’t about to trust another man—and Dom is already skating on thin ice with his NHL-mandated probation. Besides, how could a hotshot player like Dom really care about a woman so much older than he?
CODY: After seven years of an in-name-only marriage, Cody Armstrong is determined to show his wife Size he stuck around for more than the kid. But when someone from the past shows up on Christmas Eve, Cody's big surprise--as well as his marriage--may not make it through the holidays.
DRAKE: Drake Riser is a tough guy on the ice, but deep down he just wants to settle down. Major Erin Gentry has physical and emotional scars from an IED explosion. When they meet at a masquerade ball, Drake thinks Erin is exactly what he needs, but she thinks she’s too damaged to get involved with the gorgeous hockey hunk. Erin is trying to figure out what happened two years ago and put her demons to rest, while someone from her past is trying to destroy her. Drake is ready to do anything to give them a shot at love, but will they be able to put the pieces together in time to win the face-off--and the game?
KARL: Karl Martennson is 6’4” of Swedish hockey-playing deliciousness who wants something more than a different girl every night. Kate Lansing is a PR whiz with trust issues who has spent her whole life battling her weight. Their one-night-stand has the potential to be more, but Karl’s crazy ex-girlfriend is determined to stop them before they reach the goal. When Karl has to go home to Sweden for a family emergency, his ex makes her move. If Kate can't find a way to trust him, she might find herself permanently benched.
Reviews
I've read many compilations of series ... but have NEVER enjoyed one as much. All of the characters were interesting, complicated people without a pinch of angst like so many other series. Reading each book felt like I was learning more about people I already called friends ... thank you. I look forward to reading every one of your books.
These books were awesome with an NHL Hockey team as the glue that holds all the characters together
Dominic and Molly - 5 Stars
Cody and Suze - 5 Stars
Drake and Erin - 5 Stars
Karl and Kate - 5 Stars
Each couple has their own set of trials and tribulations to overcome and I really enjoyed enjoyed the sincerity of each character. I really love how a series can capture and shape a community and this series does it so well. Lots of tension, drama and - of course - romance. But what I really liked is how the female characters are both the damsel and the hero in their respective story arcs. It’s a nice break from all he He-Man Alpha stuff that’s out there. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but it’s nice to have a pause from it!
These books read like a soap opera. There is a sort of main couple in the books, but the author has a lot of threads going on at once. There are a lot of couples, a lot of stories and the POV shifts from one sentence to the next. The first book (Dominic) has a lot of potential and could have been really good if it was tighter and had less of the soap opera feel with multiple storylines going on at the same time. It's also passing for a hockey romance, but the other books are not really hockey romances (I didn't read the very last book in this box, so that may have had it). It got frustrating after a while as I'm not generally a fan of the soap opera books. If you like that, you're not going to have that particular problem. So the stories as they stand is for me at 2 stars, but I give it a 3 stars because some tighter editing and focus could have made the first two that much better.
I am a big fan of older women/younger man and hockey romances so I read Dominic, the first book in this series. It was so good that I bought this box set,, and the rest of the books in the series. There is a lot of drama and some of it is a little fantastic but the romance and emotions are there. Highly recommend this series.
This is a really good collection of stories that have a connection running through them all that makes the stories so interesting and the friendships great. Quick reads with fun characters and some wonderful sizzle!
I hadn't read anything by this author before, but I love sports related romances, so when I saw this one I thought I'd give it a try. Now I find I really need to read the rest of this series.
Enjoyed all of them.
