Book Rating

ASH AND HIS DRAGON is the fourth full-length story in the Colorado Dragons series, and we're back with the team. This time, it's with the Captain - Max - and one of the forwards, Ash.

Both of these guys carry trauma from their pasts that came in the shape of their fathers. Honestly, both fathers needed a good whupping; one for twisting information, and the other for treating half-known or guessed information as the full truth. It was an emotional read on both sides just with that, as well as Max's big secret that needed to be revealed.

This is an ice hockey book, so obviously carries that play into the story. Did I understand all of it? No, because I've never watched a single game of ice hockey - ever. Did I have to? No, not really. For me, the parts on the ice were more about the team and how they rely on each other, especially when the other team is in front.

I enjoyed this story, although it's not one of my favourites, due to a couple of editing errors that had been missed. I'm unsure if this was the final, to-be-released copy, though, so my rating is purely on the enjoyment of the book.

In my opinion, you don't HAVE to have read the previous stories in this series, although it would give you more of an insight into the dragons, their types, and what they might face.

All in all, a great read that I enjoyed and would recommend.

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Dirty Secret (Slayers Hockey #1) in Books

Feb 20, 2021

Dirty Secret is the story of Allie and Vaughn. A light hearted and entertaining story of love. I enjoyed reading the combination of love and sport. Kelly added to my love of Hockey, and I appreciated the inclusion of the locker room banter.

From one memorable night, and a long remembered teenage crush, to a story of love, passion and secrets which change everything. Reading the perspective of Allie, always putting her brother first, it was wonderful to see her take something for herself, and seeing the change in Vaughn from his attitude on the ice, to his warmth with Allie.

Definitely worth the read and the five stars in my opinion.
