Synopsis:

All’s fair in love and hockey. . .

As his team’s enforcer on the ice, Sebastian Deveau is America’s favorite fighting Frenchman. But he’s just as likely to get into trouble off the ice–especially when it comes to women.

Shayne Beckford is so over hockey. It ruined her parents’ marriage. It spoiled her brother’s dreams. And let’s not even talk about her college boyfriend . . . So when Sebastian Deveau walks into her brother’s gym, she has no idea who he is. All she knows is that he’s one gorgeous man with the sexiest accent she’s ever heard. And since she never has to see him again, she lets him give her the best orgasm of her life right on top of the gym’s dryer.

But Sebastian isn’t going to let this one-night stand get away so easily. He fights for what he wants, even if it takes fighting a little dirty . . .

Excerpt

I am nothing if not competitive and I will not let this man – this delectable stranger – feel like he’s won some kind of Flirt Off. I don’t pull back far from the kiss, just enough to break our contact. My eyes flutter open at the same time his do and any hint of that smile on his lips is gone. I see the debate flickering behind those unreal crystal blue eyes and dark, heavy eyebrows. I feel the hesitation. His hand on my jaw gets looser. His thumb lifts up like it’s going to sweep my lips again, but it doesn’t. He stops because I pulled back and it’s made him uncertain. Good. I don’t want to be the only one off-balance here. But he doesn’t want to stop – I can sense that, feel his desire radiating off of him. I can see the debate in his head dancing behind those light eyes. Does he play it cool and wait for me to make another move, or does he just go for what he wants, admitting to himself and to me, that he can’t resist just as much as I can’t?

He tightens his grip on me and I smile for the briefest second before it’s forced from my face when he leans in and captures my lips again. This time he’s the one who gave in. Now we’re even.

Michel’s Review

Victoria Denault is melting the ice with her latest release in the Hometown Players series.  Winning It All is the fourth book in the series and by far the sexiest book.  The winning combination of a sexy Frenchman and NHL enforcer has Sebastian Deveau heating up the pages.

Sebastian Deveau has wanted a steady permanent relationship.  His quest to settle has left a trail of ex girlfriends and a bit of a tarnished reputation.  It’s not that he’s a chronic player, he just hasn’t met the right one.

Attending an opening night party at a local gym is going to turn the tides.  There he meets Shayne Beckford.  Shayne is an instructor at her brother’s gym.  She is also the daughter of a legendary NHL enforcer.  Her father’s career in hockey was great on the ice but his family suffered for his greatness.  He had numerous affairs and always put hockey first.  The last thing Shayne wants is to become involved with a hockey player.  She’d rather walk through the fires of hell first.

The chemistry between Sebastian and Shayne is undeniable.  From their first hook up to their manufactured dates, the sheets are blazing.  Chemistry is not enough for Shayne.

Sebastian will do everything in his power to prove he is not like her father.  He will have to prove he has the ability to put her first and hockey second.  He has to show Shayne he has what it takes to love her completely.  Winning Shayne’s heart is better than winning the Stanley Cup.  As far as Sebastian is concerned, it is Winning It All.

Victoria Denault delivered a fantastic story that kept me glued to the pages.  Between the sizzling chemistry and creative dialogue, I loved Shayne and Sebastian’s relationship.  I loved the involvement of all of the beloved players we have met in the previous books.  I can honestly say that the Hometown Players Series is one of my favorite sports romance / hockey romance series.  I can’t wait to see what player is going to score a goal next.

Read Winning It All by Victoria Denault.  It’s in the net!
