Calling the Shots (Out on the Ice Book 3) Kindle Edition
Retired superstar Regan Lane is known for being outspoken. She’s never been one to keep her opinions to herself. When she lands a head coaching job in the women’s pro league with the Boston Ice, her brash promise to win the championship in her first year shocks no one. Especially not Tierney McGovern, head coach of the rival New York Lady Libertys.
Single mom Tierney knows what it’s like to live in someone else’s shadow, and she won’t let Regan steal the spotlight. Besides, she knows exactly how Regan operates: when it comes to delivering on her promises, she falls pitifully short. At least she did when she ghosted Tierney after their long-ago amazing week together.
As their teams face each other game after game, it doesn’t take long for them to realize their hockey rivalry isn’t the only thing heating up. And that maybe the real victory is in taking big chances on the ice—and off.

Rival coaches Regan Lane and Tierney McGovern shared an incredible week ages ago. While they both clearly champion women’s hockey, they couldn’t be more different in their public approaches. And Tierney is fiercely protective of her daughter, which adds another layer of complication to their lives and their navigating being in the public eye.
Kelly Farmer’s writing is immediately immersive. There’s no “just taking a quick peek”—I urge you to do yourself a favor and just block off the day before picking this up because you won’t want to put it back down. I loved getting to know Regan and Tierney, and their teams and friends and families. And getting glimpses of members of the Boston Ice from prior books is just a lovely bonus.
Regan and Tierney’s relationship is both easy and challenging for them. They discover quickly that their mutual chemistry is as strong as ever, and yet their upbringings and pasts interfere. Ms Farmer lets readers see that love can sometimes include apologies and work as well as unsurpassed joy.
Calling the Shots is a fantastic romance, and I can’t wait for more from Ms Farmer.
Regan and Tierney are both head coaches for teams in the female hockey league with a prior past that has created tension. They are cordial and courteous to each other when necessary for press events but their polar opposite personalities clash. Tierney is reserved and all business where Regan is unapologetically loud and the center of attention. Their dynamic is fun to read from their rivalry to their budding relationship. I thought it definitely added to the story how much Tierney’s daughter was included. She’s definitely an important character in Tierney’s storyline and how that factors into the relationship between the two MC’s. The romance scenes in the book is fade to black but there is definitely enough slow burn tension between these two characters.
I normally read MM sports and some MF sports so it was a nice change to read from the female perspective. Important issues were brought up and discussed about inclusivity and equality for women that are often missing.
I received an early copy of this book from NetGalley and Carina Press and this is my honest and fair review.
This book is the third in the Out on the Ice series and the second one I have read but it can be read as a standalone. I think I liked the second one in the series slightly more, but still enjoyed reading this one. I really liked Regan but found Tiernan’s insecurities to be a bit exhausting. I did like the two together and found that they made each other better people. This book was fade-to-black but the chemistry was there so it didn’t feel like a fade-to-black romance.
Don’t get me wrong, I really did enjoy this book, but I really wish it would have been in the first person. I feel like it would have read so much better that way. I’m some ways I found the writing hard to get into, but looking past that, I did love the story. I think hockey romance fans looking for something a little different would enjoy this book, just like I did.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book!
