book blurb

All's fair in love and hockey. . .

As his team's enforcer on the ice, Sebastian Deveau is America's favorite fighting Frenchman. But he's just as likely to get into trouble off the ice--especially when it comes to women.

Shayne Beckford is so over hockey. It ruined her parents' marriage. It spoiled her brother's dreams. And let's not even talk about her college boyfriend . . . So when Sebastian Deveau walks into her brother's gym, she has no idea who he is. All she knows is that he's one gorgeous man with the sexiest accent she's ever heard. And since she never has to see him again, she lets him give her the best orgasm of her life right on top of the gym's dryer.

But Sebastian isn't going to let this one-night stand get away so easily. He fights for what he wants, even if it takes fighting a little dirty . . .

REVIEW: WINNING IT ALL (HOMETOWN PLAYERS) BY VICTORIA DENAULT

Winning It All by Victoria Denault

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Money, fame and women are Sebastian's Achilles Heel. They bring out the wild man in him and cause nothing but issues for his image. Hockey and heartache have followed Shayne around like a dark cloud for years. Hockey destroyed her family, crushed her brother's dreams and has left her on the receiving end of pain many times over. An instant attraction, a heated encounter and surprising discovery will land her right where she hoped to never be again. On the verge of a broken heart. The title says everything for this tumultuous love story. Winning It All, means taking a chance when the cons far outweigh the pros. Ms. Denault supplies the sentiment of romance, wrapped in the glamour of fame and seasons it with the charm of small town. What's not to love?

excerpt

I am nothing if not competitive and I will not let this man – this delectable stranger - feel like he’s won some kind of Flirt Off. I don’t pull back far from the kiss, just enough to break our contact. My eyes flutter open at the same time his do and any hint of that smile on his lips is gone. I see the debate flickering behind those unreal crystal blue eyes and dark, heavy eyebrows. I feel the hesitation. His hand on my jaw gets looser. His thumb lifts up like it’s going to sweep my lips again, but it doesn’t. He stops because I pulled back and it’s made him uncertain. Good. I don’t want to be the only one off-balance here. But he doesn’t want to stop – I can sense that, feel his desire radiating off of him. I can see the debate in his head dancing behind those light eyes. Does he play it cool and wait for me to make another move, or does he just go for what he wants, admitting to himself and to me, that he can’t resist just as much as I can’t?

He tightens his grip on me and I smile for the briefest second before it’s forced from my face when he leans in and captures my lips again. This time he’s the one who gave in. Now we’re even.

Victoria Denault loves long walks on the beach, cinnamon dolce lattes and writing angst-filled romance. She lives in LA but grew up in Montreal, which is why she is fluent in English, French and hockey.
