This stand-alone was an instant USA Today bestseller! Jason Castro gets his story...

Everyone knows the girl is off limits. But it's so good to be bad.

There’s this girl... Heidi and I have been trading hungry looks all year, and everything she does makes me smile. But I don't do girlfriends, and I certainly can't get involved with the league commissioner's daughter.

I need shots on goal, not a hookup and a widely misunderstood paparazzi photo.Can I resist her, though? The way she teases me should be a game penalty for interference with my libido.

There’s this guy… Jason wants me, but he won’t admit it. That man looks at me the way a hockey player eyes the lunch buffet after practice—and I love it. But when victory is finally within my grasp, I blow it and humiliate myself.

Even then I can’t even avoid him—as the team intern, I’m in constant view of his hard body and cocky smile. I need another chance. Jason Castro is about to learn the true meaning of an overnight sensation.

Sarina scores big with this undeniably swoony romance. New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan

Five Big Golden Stars for Heidi Jo and Jason 💜

Five Big Golden Stars for Heidi Jo and Jason 💜
I love reading romance novels that make me think beyond the obvious love story they’re telling. Sarina Bowen is my favorite author because she manages to do this in every book she writes, and also because her writing style is fuid and natural, and also witty and beautiful.Overnight Sensation is more of a comedy than the previous books in the Brooklyn Bruisers series. A little lighter in the angst department, perhaps, but it still has its conflict to resolve and emotional baggage to unload.Jason Castro has a reputation. He’s a player on and off the ice. He doesn’t do repeats, much less relationships, and he’s happy to keep it that way. His whole focus is in being the best hockey player he can be, and prove his worth. But Castro has hidden depths. Obviously. He’s a really nice guy with strong values, and a soft spot for Heidi. He’s famous for quoting Shakespeare and Dickens, and has a quirky sense of humor. The nerd factor is strong in him, too.Heidi Jo Pepper is sheltered, polite to the bone, and a little naive. She sets her sights on Castro, wanting him to take her to the wild side for a night, to show her what real passion feels like. Her father’s controlling ways push her to revel against him, and try to be more independent, and find her own way. She proves to be not only efficient and creative, but also resilient and determined.However, things go wrong rather quickly for Heidi, and Jason feels obligated to help her once again. Their proximity and obvious chemistry prove to be too much for Jason to resist. So when things get out of control, as they always do, they will have to decide what they really want for themselves and from each other, and how to get it.I loved, loved, loved Overnight Sensation. It’s sweet, it’s fun, it’s hilarious. Nobody writes Hockey romance quite like Sarina Bowen. And if there is something that Sarina Bowen excels at, is at writing strong female characters. Heidi is not the exception. She is rather fierce. I fell in love with Jason because he’s a sweetheart who’s been trying for so long to protect himself from hurt, he’s confident and charming, and totally swoon worthy. But in my opinion, Heidi steals the show from start to finish. She’s strong, capable, and hilarious. I love her with my whole heart.

I seriously enjoyed this sweet hockey romance. Heidi was a fabulous heroine, one you can't help but love, admire, and cheer for. Her inner strength and inspiring attitude has made her one of my favourite heroines ever. Jason was a wounded alpha but also so loveable. He was sweet, hot, funny, and a perfect match for Heidi. I really enjoyed reading this book and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any hockey romance fan. It works fine as a standalone too.

4.0 out of 5 stars My second favorite in this series!

Overnight Sensation is definitely my second favorite of Sarina Bowen's books set in the Brooklyn Bruisers hockey world. I LOVED Jason Castro's appearances in the other books, so I was glad to finally read his book. I just love a forbidden romance, especially with men who are closed off. I think I am revealing a little too much about myself here, but oh well.

HOWEVER, I have MAJOR beef with this cover. From the other books Jason mentions being the only "brown" guy on the team, and in this book we find out his dad is Brazilian, Cuban-American and his mom is a white lady from Canada. YAY for non-white hockey players, but the dude on this cover IS NOT how I pictured him AT ALL. I feel like it's just a teeny bit white-washed and that bothers me.

Despite my issues with the cover, it doesn't affect my overall view of the actual book. I loved reading about Jason and Heidi's somewhat forbidden love. We first meet Heidi in Brooklynaire and she does come off as a little bit of an airhead, but like Becca we learn she is surprising competent. In this book, we see how that is kind of an understatement. Heidi is a straight BAMF that does everything to perfection. The crux of the story is that her dad is the League Commissioner and she doesn't want to go back to college so he makes her do every job under the sun at the arena, but she takes it all in stride. Heidi also starts her own side delivery business to help out the players on the team. It was such a cool thing!

Heidi and Jason are super attracted to each other, but he holds her at a distance for awhile because one, she's the commissioner's daughter and the dude has already threatened him, and two, Jason is a one and done guy. We find out later why he is and oh, honey, it broke my heart for him. Poor guy is still grieving over something that happened to him in high school and he doesn't know how to let in the light from his dark thoughts. He really gets into his head a lot, and pushes Heidi away, which annoyed me! But I could understand why he was so closed off.

Once they did finally get together, oh it was so good. There are a lot of steamy parts in this book, and Jason seems to be a little more bossier than Bowen's other heroes. I definitely like that it's an agreement between the two of them that it's only when they don't have clothes on. When they do have clothes on Heidi is 100% in charge and I loved that about her.

Silas (who gets his own book in Superfan, and was Leo's roommate in Rookie Move) shows up a lot in here, as he is Jason's roommate. Silas is such a sweetheart, and I do love the friendship he has with both Jason and Heidi.

The ending did feel slightly rushed and the stuff with Heidi's dad seemed to come out of nowhere. I was willing to forgive it though, because I was happy Heidi and Jason were finally getting their happy ending. I know some readers felt like Jason's mood swings with Heidi from perfect boyfriend to icing her out to then expressing his love for her was odd, but I thought in the context of where his head was at it all made sense.

If you like this series, I highly recommend this one!

I loved this story of Jason and Heidi!! Heidi works for the team as an intern. There has always been an attraction between Jason and Heidi. Heidi's dad cuts her off because she dropped out of school. Jason offers her his couch after he and Silas realize she got conned out of her money to get an apartment on Craigslist. From there, the attraction grows. I love these two together. Love this book and series. I highly recommend!!

Es geht mit "Overnight Sensation" in die nächste Runde der Brooklyn Bruisers. Die Geschichte um Heidi Jo und Jason hat sich im Vorgängerband ja schon angedeutet.
Es war wieder so toll zu der Gang zurück zukommen.
Heidi arbeitet für die Organisation bzw. als Praktikantin, will aber Office Managerin werden, nur ihr Vater steht ihr dafür im Weg, der der Liga-Präsident ist. Jason hat etwas sein Mojo verloren, und muss sich mit der neuen Spielposition zurecht finden.
Durch einige Verwicklungen zieht Heidi aus der Wohnung ihres Vaters aus, um zu beweisen, dass sie selbstständig sein kann und kein verwöhntes Prinzesschen ist. Irgenwie schafft sie es, als zusätzliche Mitbewohnung bei Jason und Silas einzuziehen. Wenn auch erstmal übergangsweise. Theoretisch.

Tja und die Anziehung zwischen den beiden ist auch wieder so fassbar und präsent, es macht richtig Spaß, wie die beiden so umeinander "rumtanzen", weil sie ja eigentlich nicht zusammen sein können/dürfen und trotzdem sich darüber hinweg setzten.
Durch den sehr angenehmen Schreibstil, sind die Seiten auch nur so verflogen, bis das Buch zuende war.
Ein tolles Wiedersehen, bekannter Gesichter, neue sind dazu gekommen und die kleinen Sticheleien der Spieleruntereinander sind sehr unterhaltsam.

Heidi e Jason me encantaram desde a primeira página. Este é um Sport romance com a marca de sucesso da autora: personagens que seduzem o leitor, uma trama com “substância” que não cai no lugar comum nem nos estereótipos, um romance com bastante “química” e paixão.
O hockey faz o pano de fundo e dá suporte à trama e à condução da história enquanto as vidas profissionais dos personagens principais são exploradas com bastante detalhes ao invés de somente servir como adereço. Isso não só permite que o leitor sinta empatia pela trama e pelos personagens do romance mas também que a história tenha ritmo e desenvolvimento homogêneos.
A história possui um clima bastante leve e até mesmo o que parecia se transformar em um grande conflito foi resolvido sem muito drama. A trama peca somente no que diz respeito a algumas tarefas desempenhadas por Heidi Jo. Neste ponto a autora toma alguns atalhos que se distanciam da realidade mas mesmo assim a história mantém suas qualidades.
No geral este é um romance que ao final me deixou com um sorriso no rosto. Sarina Bowen conseguiu explorar todos os elementos dessa história: romance leve, com algumas boas pitadas de emoção, sexyness, humor e personagens charmosos.

Four and a half stars.

Sarina Bowen does it again! Jason Castro has pretty much everything he ever wanted, playing for the Brooklyn Bruisers, living the good life, easy women and a great set of mates, sure his family think he is wasting his life playing sport and womanising but they think he should be a doctor or a lawyer. On a team night out he keeps catching the eye of the new tem intern, the delicious Heidi, they've been dancing around each other for weeks but Jason has rules about sleeping with women at work - he's a one-and-done kind of guy which doesn't sit well with working alongside them the next day.

Heidi Pepper isn't just an intern, she's also the daughter of the Commissioner of Hockey and 100% off limits. When her night with Jason becomes gossip fodder and her father starts laying down the law Heidi decides to move out of her father's Manhattan penthouse suite and into her own apartment, trouble is her pay is pitiful so she ends up staying with Jason and his roomie Silas.

I was on the fence about Heidi to start with, I thought she was a little childish and naive, well she is under twenty-one, but she really grew on me. She's so full of grit and determination and character, she grafts so hard and creates a business out of nothing. When her father starts dictating that Heidi do all the most menial jobs (security, cleaning the toilets, selling hot dogs) rather than the office job she was previously doing she just knuckles down and does it.

Poor Jason he tries so hard to do the right thing but everything, friends and family conspire against him and he is forced to live cheek by jowl with the delectable, distracting and clever Miss Pepper.

Loved it, devoured it on release day, can't wait for Silas' story.

Sarina Bowen is ALWAYS a 1-click preorder for me! This book reinforced why. It was a great book with such awesome characters. Heidi Jo “Hot” Pepper and Jason Castro have a mutual attraction that they haven’t acted upon yet. She’s off limits and he’s not entirely sure why at first. He’s noticed her and since then he’s not been unable to notice her. He’s used to keeping liaisons light and simple because even though his body runs hot, his heart runs cold. Behind his “life of the party” exterior lies a past with grief and guilt he’s still coming to terms with. Heidi is the true hero of this book - she is competent, resourceful and independent, she’s constantly surprising everyone with her grit and determination, her grace and poise, and humour. She knows almost as much about hockey and the life of a hockey player as he does. What starts out as friends develops into a whole lot more. But for a guy known to keep relationships light and simple, he’ll have to go to a lot of effort to convince her that she’s a lot more than just a one night stand to him...

I truly enjoyed reading this story. Jason didn't even know just how capable of love he was until Heidi cam falling into his life. As he said she was like a little tornado. Heidi was so determined to prove her dad wrong and be the independent woman she knew she was that she didn't even realize everything she was capable of. She was strong, determined, hard-working and so very loving. This book was filled with all the feels I love. These two were so meant to be together and we're so protective of one another. They felt so deeply and together they were passionate and sexy!! I can't wait for more of these boys!!
