Description
Hooking: When a player impedes the progress of an opponent by "hooking" him with his stick.
I'm Alex Kosinski, left wing for the Austin Amurs. Hooking was my penalty. It's never something I set out to do, but it happens. After all, it's hockey.
Hockey is life. Getting traded was a kick to the nuts, but at least I was still playing. It was all that mattered.
Until Sydney.
Our relationship was forbidden, but I didn't care—I hadn't run from a fight yet.
I had her right where I wanted her, until everything crashed around me. My past came back to bite me in the ass and I was faced with getting kicked off the team. Now, I'm trying to pick up the goddamn pieces.
I'm not going to choose between her or hockey. I want it all. Because despite everything, she's the best thing I've ever hooked.

Great Hockey Romance
So this is my first time reading Kristine Allen and I definitely will need to check out more of her books! This is a really great forbidden love hockey romance. Alex and Sydney meet at the end of the hockey season, not expecting to cross paths again. At the start of the next season both are pushed together because of Sydney’s roll with the organization. Unable to stay apart, the two begin a secret forbidden romance. Sparks fly and a few unexpected roadblocks come up, giving this story the perfect amount of angst.
I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I am usually not one for MC books, but now I need to check out some of the stories about the club that Alex’s brother is in. This is absolutely a book you should read!

Already loving this new series from Kristine with ties to her MC series!
Already loving this new series from Kristine with ties to her MC series! To Alex – hockey his life, and he’s been doing well with his team in Canada until he’s traded and is required to move to Texas. The only good thing about the trade is it brings him back to the same town his brother Cooper and his MC are in. While out with his brother one night, he meets Sydney and has a one-night stand with her after he realizes she has no clue who he is. Fast forward to the beginning of the season and they find that she works for the team’s foundation. Taking it as a sign since he can’t get her out of his head, Alex decides to pursue Sydney even though she fights it kicking and screaming. Finally wearing her down, they begin a secret relationship where it seems that anything that can go wrong does go wrong on Alex’s end. I loved how level headed and trusting Sydney was – although that could be a blessing or a curse, and we see her get fed up with being understanding. Thankfully though, as Alex starts to make strides with his team and build a family of friendships with his teammates, Sydney and him find their way back to each other and get their HEA. Loved this book and the ties to the MC so it felt familiar to read and I can’t wait for the next installment!
