Rebounding: A Fresh Start Hockey Romance (Portland Icehawks Book 1) Kindle Edition

Meet the newest expansion team in hockey--The Portland Icehawks. They're a group of guys with chips on their shoulders out to make their former teams regret letting them go. They won't be stopped until they win it all. What they haven’t counted on is love being part of that equation.

As a thirty-five-year-old hockey player, I've learned a hard lesson in loyalty. I was supposed to be a lifer for the Chicago Tigers, but the team left me out in the cold, choosing to protect younger players in the expansion draft. The next thing I know, I'm in a strange city with a fledgling team, and my estranged wife has served me with divorce papers. Not the best way to start a new chapter in my career.

As the team struggles to find its identity and win games, I struggle with my role as team captain, proving I'm not too old to play at a high level, and getting beyond my failed marriage. All this is complicated by an undeniable attraction to the owner's granddaughter. As the team racks up the losses, I seek solace with the one woman whose very presence could destroy what's left of my career.

Sometimes love is comfortable and subtle. Other times it hits you with the force of a puck to the jaw. I've never experienced the latter until now, and I can't stay away regardless of the consequences.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start to A New Series

What a great start to a new hockey series by Jami Davenport. Rebounding is about the new expansion team coming to Seattle and we get to meet the nicest of men in Dash Bates, not happy he was sent to Seattle but trying to make the best of it. When he walks into the coffee shop for the team he meets the klutzy but cute and sassy Everly Barlowe.
Everly is everything her family is not but she will always try to prove to them that she isn’t always a hot mess. She’s caring and loving of her friends and family but when she meets Dash she can’t help feel the pull he has on her and she’s willing to disappoint her family for her own happiness.
Dash and Everly maybe the first couple we meet in this new series but what a great start they are. I’m looking forward to more to come and see whose story is next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great start to the Icehawks Series
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022
When it rains, it pours is a common saying and the hits keep coming for Dash. Not only did he get traded from the only team he has played for, but he is going to an expansion team and his wife wants a divorce. Going to Portland wasn’t what he wanted, but now he needs it as an escape to heal his heart. He never expected to find Everly.
Everly is the family screwup and is interested in the arts. She is a hot mess, but doesn’t know what she wants out of life. She is also the granddaughter of the owner of the Icehawks. When she makes an error when giving the jerseys to the players, her family gives her a challenge. She has six months to make a success out of the team coffee shop or she loses her inheritance. She also can’t fraternize with players or she loses the inheritance. Unfortunately, she never anticipated Dash.
Seeing them become friends and try not to be more was interesting. I liked how they built something strong and really got to know each other, all while supporting the other. He has a few trying teammates (I wish Briggs’ story was next) and she can’t let anything get her way of succeeding. Both characters grew independently and had some hard one moments. The secrets revealed by her family members (especially her sister) were shocking. I wish her dad and grandfather would have had to eat a little more humble pie, but in the end their realizations were spot on.
Just when they think they have everything sorted out and they agree to try to make their connection into more, the rug gets pulled out from under them. Her reaction to him upset me at one point and I understood why he made the decision he did. When she finally confronted her family and found out the truth I was happy with what she chose to do.
This was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to see what Ms. Davenport has in store for us. I received an ARC and this is my honest, voluntary review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skated to victory in this new hockey romance series

Everly, the family klutz, lives up to her reputation by handing Dash, the Portland Icehawk’s center, the wrong jersey at the expansion team announcement. As the story progresses the awkward encounters continue, their easiness with each other can confuse, and they may have to pay the piper when the time comes due. Jami Davenport skated to victory in this new hockey romance series. There is forbidden attraction, foreshadowing of books to come, and character tension on the team driving the plot of this introductory book. Leaving the reader wanting to dive right into the next one right away.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great start to this series!
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022
Rebounding is the first book in Jami Davenport's new Portland Icehawks series and it was a great one!

With the Icehawks being an expansion team, they have just gone through the expansion draft, which found long-time player Dashel Bates being sent to Portland from the only team he's ever played for since he entered the league. While he isn't totally thrilled about going, it may be the best thing for him considering his marriage was ending as this new phase was beginning. Folks think that Dash may be washed up as a player, but he's out to prove everyone wrong.

Everly Barlowe is part of a very well known family in the Portland area and now they own the Portland Icehawks. Everly has always been the "black sheep" of her family where her brother and sister are the golden children in the eyes of their parents and grandfather. Everly has big dreams, but she also seems to have a string of bad luck and her family is not as supportive as they could be. They love her, but they don't encourage or trust her judgement.

When the family decides the only thing Everly can do is run the coffee shop within the facility, she isn't thrilled, but she decides to make it the best coffee shop she can all while working toward her other dreams. The team frequents the coffee shop and she and Dash strike up a quick friendship. As time goes on, the connection between them is undeniable, but the number one rule Everly was given by the family was no dating players. Will these two be able to keep things in the friend zone or is their connection just too strong?

This was a fantastic start to this new series. I enjoyed the players and the relationship between Dash and Everly was awesome. Their friendship was the foundation and the way they helped and supported one another was so wonderful. I'm really interested to see what happens with the other players on the team as the series continues. There are some definite characters and I'm very intrigued to see how it all unfolds!

What a roller coaster of emotions! This story has everything! Rebounding tells the story that probably happens more than we know. How do you rebound after getting traded? My emotions were all over the place from anger to happy and back again before this couple figures things out! Great read!
