Offside with #55 by Piper Rayne is now live!
The last thing any professional hockey player wants is to be the old man in the game. The guy who doesn't know when it's time to retire. Still, I can't bear the thought of leaving the game.
This past year I've reflected on all my regrets, and I told myself that once I retire it'll be the time to settle down and start a family. But this is where it gets tricky.
I think I've found her—my Mrs. Although she'll deny our connection to anyone who asks. We've been sleeping together casually and since I'm still playing hockey, I've let her get what she wants—me—whenever she wants.
After being told my career as a player is over, the owner of Florida Fury grants me a shot to stay in the game. A coaching position I didn't know I wanted until it was offered. The catch? He's also passing the family business down to his daughter.
Who's his daughter?
The woman who's been in and out of my bed for the past year. Which means the woman I intend to make my wife is now my new boss.

Review by Jen Skewes
This was the book that I ahem been waiting for in this series. Kane and Jana are the couple that we all wanted to see. We knew that something was going on between them, but needed to how serious it was and why they were hiding it. their story did not disappoint.
Jana is a very strong and independent woman. She has no desire to get married or even fall in love for that matter. this thing she is with Kane is nothing more than just casual sex. But when she learns of their new position with the the Florida Fury, this thing between them may not work any more. Now she will be his boss which will certainly have an effect on what is going on between them.
Kane is the complete opposite in the sense that he wants a relationship. He is not afraid to admit that either. He knows the Jana has walls up and while he cannot figure out why, he knows that she is the only woman that he wants. He doesn't agree with ending their relationship but goes along with it. The tension between them is very noticeable, which is ruining their work relationship as well. Given their new positions they need to work together, not against each other. At some point, Jane realizes how good they are together and how much she misses being with Kane. But she is still hesitant about being in a relationship. Kane is not about to give on on them or her. He knows that slowly he can break down her walls and make her see what is right in front of her. A man who loves her and wants to spend his life with her.
I loved Kane and Jana together. All though I admit that Jana is not the easiest person to like, but she is the perfect match for Kane. and I admit that she grew on me. The passion and chemistry between the two of them is palpable. but what I loved was that this was all just about the sexual side of their relationship. We see the two of them opening up to each other and fall in love with each other, which was wonderful to watch.
I loved getting to see hang and hang out with my favorite Fury players and love the interaction between them all. The team building exercise scenes were especially fun. I am sad that this is the last of this series but what a perfect couple to end it with. Looking forward to the next series.
