Body Checked (Astoria Bay Thunder #2)Body Checked by C.J. Cartwright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a hockey sports romance that is hands down a frenemies to lovers with sizzling moments, drama, banter and some laugh out loud moments. I loved Tia and Bridger’s story as you meet them in book 1 and I love that this book is all about their story. Bridger is a hard core hockey player for Astoria Bay Thunder and loves the game but also loves the ladies as well. His love interests and off the ice moments get him in some hot water and needs to be simmered down. Tia is one Brynn’s BFF and she is quite spicy and does not back down especially when she meets Bridger and their banter back and forth was entertaining to say! Both Tia and Bridger have some things from that past that try to haunt them when old news tries to come out and tear them apart. Enemies to Lovers to Frenemies kept the story flowing and I loved every moment.

Wonderful Book!!

Dayum!! Bridger is what I need in my life. A HAWT hockey player that is protective and alpha but playful. Bridger might have had some privileges growing up but that did not make his life easy. His father calls with helpful advice such as, “Play better,” after each game. Bridger has lived the pro-athlete lifestyle to a tee and now he is suffering the consequences.

Tia has been burned by the likes of Bridger before and is not interested. Except, there is like this crazy attraction that can’t be denied between Tia and Bridger. Like when you are close to them in a room you can feel and see the sparks. Tia convinces Bridger that they can be just friends after a no strings weekend. Bridger is willing to take anything he can get to be close to Tia. When Tia’s past threatens not only the budding relationship but Bridger’s standing on the team, Bridger finds out what it is like to have the support of a family to help protect Tia.

I will be a Thunder fan forever!! I may not have the tattoo like Bridger, but I am willing to get season tickets!! I love how even though each story is its own, they have concurrent timelines. The author does an amazing job at continuing the story while telling an entirely new one!! Love this series!!! Love this book!! Keep the hot hockey hunks coming!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really enjoyable romance. I loved the chemistry between the characters both Bridger and Tia know how to push the others buttons and that only sparks their chemistry more.
Bridger is well known as a playboy. He plays hard both on and off the ice but this behaviour is now biting him in the butt as bad press and being distracted during games is having a negative impact on his career.
He’s decided to lay off women and concentrate on his career that is until Tia walks into his life.

Tia has had a bad experience with rich playboys and has learnt her lesson the hard way. Never again will she be caught up with a rich playboy. However things get a bit sidetracked when she meet Bridger.

The attraction between them is instant and steamy. With both of them not wanting to commit they settle on 1 weekend of fun. But what happens when that 1 weekend isn’t enough.
Could Tia be the girl to finally tame the notorious playboy? Will Tia even contemplate more with Bridger? And what happens if Tia’s past is revealed? Will Bridger pursue her as hard as he plays in life? Or will Tia stand her ground and and deny Bridger the one thing he wants, Her?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bridger has the reputation of the playboy hockey star, and he is happy with that, the self-proclaimed bachelor but when his persona is affecting his career, he become more adamant to try and shed the fast life image and concentrate on growing up and being much more. So, when he is asked to set up a team charity calendar, how hard can it be?

Tia has had enough of rich playboys, after the last one tried to destroy her, she is wanting a quiet life, until she is plunged into the world of hockey. Her boss is shooting the calendar for the Astoria Bay Hockey Team and when she runs into Bridger her world goes slightly off centre, the chemistry between them is great but he irritates the crap out of her and he is in the “Playboy” category which she is wanting to stay away from, but can she?

I love a good hockey story, and this does not disappoint, the interaction between the main character is great to read. I love a good frenemies story and the chemistry between these two is electric, with the insecurities that comes from both main characters just adds another dimension in to a great story. I loved that this book can be read as stand alone within the series and I can guarantee that I will be reading more in this series and by this author.

This is the 2nd book in the Astoria Bay Thunder Series and it is as good if not better than the first one. I love that this book takes place during the same time frame as the first book but you get to see so much more of what was going on. Tia seems so outrageous but there is so much more there than anyone realizes. Bridger has always been a bit of a bad boy until this last candle puts his job in jeopardy. Will Tia and Bridger bring the best or the worst out in each other? What happens when all the secrets come out? You might keep a fire extinguisher handy cause the chemistry between these two might set the pages on fire.

To overcome a past that has your reputation in question is difficult. Bridger McKelty is a professional hockey player for the Astoria Bay Thunder. He is a self-avowed bachelor and recognized as having a different woman with him at every public event. However, his luck has run out with bad media headlines and going through a slump during games. He undergoes a whole life makeover and comes up with an idea for a team calendar for a fundraiser event.

Tia Ferris has agreed to accompany her friend Brynn to a photoshoot. Tia has just lost her job because of incriminating photographs taken by her ex-boyfriend, Jonas Logie. When she left him, he promised she would be nothing without him. Every job Tia has worked at, Jonas has somehow infiltrated, and she is terminated. Now, seeking employment, nobody seems willing to hire her. Little does she know she is about to meet someone who will have her breaking her own rules.

Bridger seriously seems sincere with having Tia’s best interests at heart. Her problem with trust seems to be a barrier, and he is exceedingly patient with her on and off feelings for him. My favorite part of the book was his impulsive first date. To avoid spoilers, I can’t describe it, but I am sure it will make readers laugh.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Body Checked is the second book in the Astoria Bay Thunder series, and as with the first book, I loved it!!!

This time Bridger and Tia are sharing their road to HEA with us. They were introduced to us in the first book. Bridger is a teammate of Levi’s, and Tia is Brynn’s best friend. The fireworks between them were evident in the first book. Now, we get to see what was really happening that weekend of the calendar photo shoot. Levi and Brynn obviously weren’t the only ones having extra fun.

Bridger and Tia are both trying to change the course of their present lives due to mistakes in their pasts. So, hooking up wouldn’t be such a great idea, but the sexual chemistry is just too much to resist. They agree to a no strings, purely physical fling for just the weekend. Who knew the pull would go much deeper than just sex? Would they be able to overcome their pasts to have a happy future together?

Both Bridger and Tia made some really bad decisions in their pasts, and both are still paying for them, although Tia’s situation is more sinister. Both are complete opposites of Levi and Brynn, but they had the same kind hearts as their teammate and best friend. I really enjoyed getting to know them better. They were both complex and complicated, and I loved how Cartwright peeled back each layer with perfect timing.

Cartwright does indicate that parts of the storyline correlate with the first book, but there is also a good bit of the story that occurs before and after that weekend. In addition, it was interesting witnessing the weekend through their eyes. As with the first book, the author completely pulled me in and I was under her spell until the very last page. Looking forward to more in the series!

I’m a sucker for second chance romances, and I LOVED this one by CJ Cartwright!

Levi and Brynn were once star-crossed lovers, and they were destined for a wonderful life together. But, circumstances and some manipulation by others, ended their romance ended ten years ago. They were just young two kids on the cusp of adulthood. Despite the heartbreak, they both thought that first love would diminish with time, but when the two inadvertently meet again, they quickly realize how very wrong they were. As they spend time together, and those old feelings flare again, could this be a new start for them?

Brynn and Levi are the type of characters I fall for hook, line, and sinker. Brynn has been looking for her own freedom for a long time, just not from her ex-husband, but her family as well. None of them believed she could be independent and follow her dreams. Despite all of that, she proved them wrong. I admired her perseverance and determination to achieve her goals.

Levi, himself, had a tough life but in a different sense than Brynn did. But, just like her, he was determined to make his dreams of becoming a pro hockey player a reality. Both had such wonderful hearts, I could really see why they were so perfect together.

My favorite books are those that completely capture your attention, the ones that you can’t stop reading until you reach the end, but hate telling the characters good-bye. I loved the story that Cartwright gave me. It was the perfect balance of steam and an emotional romance, complete with a great cast of secondary characters.

Power Play: A Second Chance Hockey Romance (Astoria Bay Thunder Book 1) by CJ Cartwright was a complete hit for me. I am all about the second chance romances, combined that with sports and you have me hooked. From the first chapter I was rooting for Brynn and Levi. CJ did an amazing job bringing the characters to life, I felt like I was there and apart of the team. After heartbreak and years apart how do you trust your first love again, is it even possible to let go of the past? There were so many will they wont they moments I was on the edge of my seat. I devoured this book and the second in the series in one night. This is a must read.

Body Checked: A Frenemies-to-Lovers Hockey Romance by CJ Cartwright is the send book in the Astoria Bay Thunder series. Playboy Bridger is struggling with his image and is about to lose the career he has worked his whole life for. Tia is trying to pick up her life once again after losing her job due to her playboy ex who is trying to ruin her life.

This was a fun read and I read the first two in a day. I can’t wait to move on to the next!

This book caught my interest as soon as I read the blurb. I am a sucker for an enemies-to-lovers story, even if it is frienemies-to-lovers. This book is about Bridger and Tia. The chemistry between the two sets the pages on fire. Bridger is a playboy whose image and game are on the rocks. While Tia is troubled by decisions in her past. It caused her to lose her job and now she found herself attracted to what she vowed to stay away from him. We watch their story play out. I loved every minute of it. I definitely recommend this book.

Brynn, Tia, Livi and Bridger are back again and this time we get to hear the other side of the story. In Body Checked we get to hear more about Tia and her relationship with Bridger. We learn more about Bridger’s past and how he got his “playboy” status. Fall in love with the characters all over again and learn more about their emotional feelings toward one another. You are drawn back to Astoria Bay and all the romance that comes with dating members of the Thunder hockey team. Get to know more of the players and their lives. A truly great sequel to the first book.

Bridger McKelty is in career crisis, his bad boy ways have caught up to him and the Astoria Thunder Hockey team are wondering if a trade is in the horizon. Wanting to clean up his act, his agent makes a few suggestions on how to transform Bridger into a reformed playboy. His first big task is organizing a calendar with his team for charity. The he meets Tia Ferris, she is the assistant to the photographer and peaks his interest. He should stay away but the sassy Tia makes it difficult to do so. As friends become something more Tia knows it is all going to crash around her, but could it be that this time she could be wrong?

There is a lot to this book especially when it comes to Tia’s past. I thought the chemistry between Bridger and Tia was sizzling. They pull you in and you just keep turning the page of the book because you want to see what happens next. Terrific story.

We met Bridger and Tia in the first book of the series…but this story is all about them. Bridger is a playboy Enforcer for the team. He is knows for his antics both on and off the ice. He is on thin ice with the team due to his poor playing and needs to clean up his act. He has an idea that may get him some more positive press.
When Tia joins her best friend as she photographs a hockey team for a charity calendar, she is not expecting the immediate attraction she feels for one of the players. She has sworn off bad boys due to a past relationship that still haunts and affects her to this day. Bridger and Tia decide they need just one weekend to work through their attraction so they can both move on. What they don’t expect is the friendship they form.
However, as they usually do, feelings start to creep their way into their friendship. Keeping their “friends only” relationship gets harder and harder to maintain. When they both find themselves in trouble…will they turn to each other? Or will their rules keep them from seeing what they truly need could be each other?
This was another good book in an enjoyable series. I love a good hockey romance and this one kept my attention the whole time. Tia and Bridger are both great characters. I enjoyed seeing the characters from the first book make appearances. I look forward to seeing where this series goes in the future.

Body Checked is the second book in the Astoria Bay Thunder series by C.J. Cartwright. This is a frenemies to lovers contemporary sports romance with hockey, banter, humour, chemistry, sizzle, emotion, angst, push-pull, trust issues, and a little drama.
This is Bridger and Tia’s story, whom we met in the first book (as secondary characters). Bridger is known for being quite the player, both on and off the ice. Tia has sworn off the playboy types for good. But the chemistry between them is intense and the sparks fly. Add in a wild weekend that results in a bit of an obsession, a few tricky little feelings that creep in, and some push-pull angst- and we have captivating story!
Can’t wait for more Astoria Bay Thunder!
Happy reading!

Thank you, C.J. Cartwright!

Brynn Mackintosh has moved to Astoria Bay for a fresh start after her divorce, she has a plan to become a professional photographer and follow her dreams. For Brynn she was optimistic about this life changing choice until all her efforts are not bringing in the amount of customers she needs. Then she gets a photo shoot that brings her business doing a calendar for Astoria Bay Thunder the Hockey team. This is a dream come true but when she realizes the team captain is Levi Fawkes it is with mixed feelings.

Levi always regretted the one who got away, seeing Brynn he realizes she is the girl he has thought about for years. Can Levi convince Brynn he is worth a second chance?

This book was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the chemistry between Levi and Brynn, their introduction is not smooth sailing and it was riddled with humor. Brynn is feisty and the banter she has with the other characters is hilarious. Levi is the broody one and he owns it throughout the book. Wonderful start to a new series.

I love this series so much! Even though this is the second book in the series you could read this without having read the previous book and fully enjoy it. I say read them both though simply because they are fantastic books from an amazing author with fun storylines and truly loveable characters.
This book sees us follow Bridger, an Enforcer for the Astoria Bay Thunder with a rep problem and Tia, a passionate young woman trying to recover from a mistake made in her younger years that keeps coming back to haunt her, as they navigate a new friendship. It is a fun filled ride full of not only laughter and love but plenty of emotion!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Body Checked is a sports romance about a hockey player, Bridger, who is struggling with his playboy persona, causing all sorts of issues with his career. People haven’t been taking him seriously because of all the problems he is causing, but he is trying to fix that. One idea he had was to do a fundraiser that involved the hockey players in a calendar shoot. This is the moment his life seems to change, when he meets the photographer’s assistant, Tia. Tia has recently been let go of her job due to complications with an ex-boyfriend. When she was younger she got caught up with a rich guy who made it his mission to destroy her life. When she meets Bridger she is instantly attracted, but has promised herself to never date another playboy again. They can’t seem to deny the attraction so they decide they will give themselves one weekend to get each other out of their system. This weekend turns into a friendship that could turn into more, but will they let it? Will the past allow them happiness? Would you give the other person up to save them?
I always enjoy a sports romance with a little smut. I thought these characters were really loveable. Bridger, even playing an enforcer, was endearing. His need to protect others at all cost was sexy. The banter that the two of them have going from frenemies-to-lovers was really good. You could see the development of their relationship really well in who the author wrote. One of the things I think I liked most was that nothing seemed dragged out. The story flowed and when the “problem” came in, it was short and sweet and dealt with.

My goodness hockey players are HOT. Bad boy and womanizer, Bridger is trying to clean himself up and look better for the good of his team. No more womanizing and drugs/drinking.

TIa out of work and helping her best friend with a photography job, manages to keep Bridger and his friends organized in a photo shoot.
Tia has skeletons of her own and is trying to stay out of the spotlight so that she doesn’t draw the attention of an ex that is trying and so far successful at destroying her life.
Can they fight their past reputations and actually be good for one another?

Love this series. So much fun.

Having read the first book I was curious to see how a relationship between Bridger and Tia would turn out. The author left us little nibbles here and there in the first book and definitely made us want to read more. Bridger is a playboy who is trying to clean up his image. Tia seems to have a bit of a wild side, but she is done with the bad boy type. How can she say no to a weekend long fling with one of the hottest men on the ice? Neither of them are looking for more, but will they catch feelings? The synopsis left states near the end that these can be read as by themselves, but I highly recommend reading them in order. Many of the characters are reoccurring and there may be little easter eggs about what is to come in other books.

Steamy and sassy frenemies to lovers’ sports romance is what Body Checked is about. The hot Astoria Bay Thunder hockey team are characters that you will fall in love with, well mostly. The battle of wills, the wit and their antics and back-and-forth banter make a fun read. I found myself laughing out loud. I really enjoyed the first book and this one was no different. I read it within a day. Sizzling chemistry, stubbornness, obsession, trust issues and of course hockey games had me turning page after page in this feel-good interesting tale that had me immersed in their world.

Bridger and Tia’s story beings with a no-strings-attached wild weekend. One weekend where sparks fly. Rules: No strings and no feelings allowed. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

I can’t wait for the next book from CJ.

You never know where you will fall in love. For Tia, who just needs to catch a break, and for Bridger who needs an image boost neither wanted anything just friends with benefits with no feelings attached. We all know how this is going to end one or the other gets feelings or is it the girl who falls first maybe this time is the hunky hockey play. You will have to read it to find out. I can not wait for the next in this series.
