Recently traded to the Chicago Rebels, hockey veteran Dylan "Banks" Bankowski is adjusting to what might be his last team and his final year in the NHL. That means taking care of his battered body while he strives for the one goal that's managed to elude him: a championship ring. What he does not need is a visit from the woman to whom he gave a different kind of ring months ago.
His young, flighty, socialite wife.
Apparently, signing the annulment papers within a week of their quickie wedding in Vegas didn't quite take, and now she's back, right before the playoffs when he needs his focus most. Only this time she has a different request: let's keep up the charade. He should say no, but he once said "I do" and surely that means something ...
Georgia Goodwin has good reasons for wanting to keep her hockey player husband. Convincing the big lug to cooperate is the easy part. Not so easy? Ignoring the flutter in her chest when he grunts in jock, kisses her neck, or calls her wife. But it's only for a few weeks, and as soon as the playoffs finish, so will they.
But the more time Georgia and Banks spend together, the more real their marriage feels. Less Vegas mistake, more like the start of something amazing. They said goodbye once. Can they do it again ... or will they figure out that a love this good is worth fighting for as much as that championship ring?
Hockey Wife was a feel good story that I enjoyed very much. ~ Sharon – Simply Love Books
I’m always excited to pick up a book by Kate Meader and I enjoyed Hockey Wife quite a lot. This opposites attract, quickie Vegas wedding romance was fun to read.
After meeting in a bar in Vegas after the All Star Hockey game and when Dylan finds out he’s been traded to the Chicago Rebels and where socialite Georgia has been left by her two “best friends” these two share conversation, laughter, and eventually exchange vows, but the next morning Georgia is gone and Dylan isn’t exactly happy. When the quickie divorce she informs him she’s getting hits a snafu, she’s decided she wants to stay married to get her parent’s off her back, but he is ready to be done until a phone call from home changes his mind.
While Georgia and Dylan play house platonically we begin to understand what makes these characters tick and we see them grow closer as they share their lives with one another. I had a hard time warming up to Georgia and honestly would have like to see her stand up for herself more with her parents and her user friends, but I was happy to see her grow and change throughout and discover there was more to her than meets the eye. Dylan at 36 is worrying about his career coming towards an end and what his next chapter will be, but I loved the way his team took him in and made him feel he belonged.
