Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups Series) by Sylvie Stewart and Marika Ray – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging romantic comedy which kept me happily turning the pages. When pro hockey player Niko shares a passionate kiss with Chloe in a crowded bar, he didn’t know she was his coach’s daughter. However, having realised she’s off limits it’s proving harder than he thought to resist her. Nico is embroiled in a custody battle for his young daughter as well as coming to the end of his hockey career. Meanwhile, Chloe is a widow who is starting a new chapter in her life, whilst trying to ignore the annoying signs of impending middle age. Having decided to focus on fun and adventures she continues to flirt with Niko and show him her own impressive hockey skills. Chloe becomes Niko’s daughter’s nanny when he needs to prove to the judge that he can take care of her. With Chloe moving in and filling the house with her vibrant personality and fun energy, she’s soon winning over both Nico and his daughter. I loved the likeable and relatable Chloe and Niko and their chemistry sizzled off the page, leading to some steamy scenes! I loved the developing relationship between Chloe and Niko’s daughter. It was particularly nice to read a romance where the main character, Chloe is in her 40’s and slightly perimenopausal, as this made her a very realistic character, and one who I could relate to.
