Trinette Dungee's 3 Star Review
Kace Elliot has been moved up to goaling on the Pittsburgh Titans and his living his dream. Drafted in the NFL while in college he has managed to play professional hockey and follow his other passion and works as a scientific research assistant while working on his master’s degree and is known as William Elliot. Not even his teammate is aware of the double life he leads. He manages to navigate both worlds successfully and one never interferes with the other.
Kace/William enjoys working under Dr. Laural Kent. The two have never met face to face and communicate strictly by text and email. Through these conversations he has developed a bit of a crush on her and he’s pretty sure she’s into him too. He’s also learned that Laurel is not all that impressed by athletes; she prefers the academic types. When an opportunity presents itself for Kace to meet her in person, he snags the opportunity and is surprised when she’s willing to give him a date. His plan is to get her to like the Kace the athlete, and figure out what to do once she learns Kace and William are one in the same.
Laurel Kent has always been different; even to her parents. She never had a ton of
friends or did any of the typical teenage things. While she loved her parents, the fact
that they didn’t “get her” put a strain on their relationship. She’s never really felt
understood by men, but her research assistant William seemed to completely get her
and made her feel comfortable being herself. At the insistence of a friend, she
attends a speed dating event. It’s here that she meets Kace. He’s definitely not
someone she would typically attract, but Kace seems to be very interested in her and
before the night is over, she learns he plays for the Pittsburgh Titans. She agrees to
a date with him and finds she really enjoys his company. Before long she’s spending
more time with Kace and thinking less about William.
I’ve read stories before where the male character is a jock or athlete and has “nerd” tendencies, but I don’t think I’ve ever experienced an athlete like Kace. He’s an actual genius who has plans outside of sports when it’s time for him to retire. I was so sold on this story. Typically, there will be the smart athlete who did well in college before being drafted and has plans to go into sports management, broadcasting etc. after graduation. Or they do well with real estate or construction. But Kace was an academic. His future life track did not involve hockey at all.
This was a quick read/listen with likable characters and a good storyline. The chemistry between Kace and Laurel was instantaneous. Many of the past characters resurfaced in this latest installment of the Titans and they were just as likeable now as they were when we first met them. I did a combo of ebook and audio for this book. The audio was narrated by Aiden Snow whose voice matched Kace perfectly and Isabella Ruther who is new to me.
With the warm weather approaching add this one to that spring read on your front porch or to your list of beach reads for the summer. Laurel Kent has always been different, even to her parents.
