One cold December day, two men are blindsided by a hockey trade; one is the most decorated goalie in the league, while the other one is the youngest coach in the majors.
Jethro Hale is the last player Coach Clay Powers wants to see on his roster, but the G.M. pulls a fast one. And it's not like he can even explain why. Nobody knows about their love affair fifteen years ago.
Cue the all-star awkwardness, the painful memories and the reawakening of deep feelings on both sides.
Unfortunately, their attraction still burns brightly. But it can never be. A player and a coach? The scandal would overshadow the team’s banner year.
If only they could resist each other…
If you love grumpy heroes, high stakes hockey, struggling single parents and smoldering kisses, grab your copy of The Last Guy on Earth.
This was fantastic! I fell in love with Clay and Jethro and wanted to see good things happen for them. The pair has a past and is not exactly thrilled to be thrown together once again when Jethro is traded to the team that Clay coaches. I couldn’t wait to see them work through their issues and find their happily ever after together.
Jethro is not happy that he has been traded to a new team at the end of his hockey career. Not only must he uproot his life, but he has to do the same for the nephew he is raising and his father who has been helping. Nobody wanted to leave Detroit for Denver. Clay knows it will be difficult to work with Jethro since they share a past with many complicated feelings. They eventually figure out that a lot of those feelings aren’t as buried as they thought.
Teddy Hamilton and J.F. Harding did a wonderful job with the narration of this book. I love the way that both of these narrators were able to bring this group of characters to life. I thought that their voices complimented each other and I found it very easy to identify which character’s point of view was being represented. I found myself listening to this audiobook for hours at a time and am certain that their performance added to my overall enjoyment.
I would highly recommend this book to others. I found this romance to be very enjoyable and loved that the character almost felt familiar. This is the third book in Hockey Series but works perfectly fine as a stand-alone. I can’t wait to read more of Sarina Bowen’s work.
