One
night, one time, nothing more.
That’s all it was supposed to be. They’d agreed their first night together
would be their only night together—and Minnesota Glaciers defenseman Dylan
Rylie was fine with that. Giant hickeys and claw marks on his ass had never
been his style, even if the very memory of Samantha Yates’s merciless sexual
energy gets him hard within seconds. He needs to focus on getting a better
contract, not mind-blowing orgasms.
One
night, one time, nothing more.
Fresh off representing the US at the Games and with nowhere else to play,
Samantha gave in to one night of frantic passion with the Glaciers’ brawny
hotshot. She couldn’t get hurt—not if she controlled the outcome. And she
planned to leave Minnesota soon, anyway. She didn’t expect to be recruited to
coach Dylan after they’d gotten down and dirty.
When brutal on-ice workouts lead to
kinky locker room sessions and “one night” falls by the wayside, Samantha
insists on keeping things casual, despite Dylan’s quiet hope for more. But when
Dylan goes down—hard—and his career is in jeopardy, Samantha is the first one
by his side. What will it take to keep her there after he’s healed?

Lynda
Aicher has always loved to read. After years of weekly travel implementing
computer software into global companies, she ended her nomadic lifestyle to
raise her two children. Now her imagination is her only limitation on where she
can go and her writing lets her escape from the daily duties as a mom, wife,
chauffeur, scheduler, cook, teacher, volunteer, cleaner and mediator. Find her

This is a romance story with a unique twist: what starts off as nothing more than a one time jump off that morphs into something more. The twist is that it's the male half of the couple who wants to pursue something more. While I liked both characters, there was something about Samantha that made it hard for me to connect with her character. I never really understood why she was so gung-ho about not wanting to have anything to do with a sport she obviously excelled in. Add to that she seemed to flip-flop when it came to her feelings for Dylan. I did like Dylan's character though; I liked watching how his attitude toward Samantha changed.
While I liked this story, I do wish I could understand Samantha and her actions and reasoning better.
