Shutdown Player: Seattle Sockeyes Hockey Romance Series: A Game On in Seattle Sports Romance

5 star Review Shutdown Player: Seattle Sockeyes Hockey (Game On In Seattle #10) by Jami Davenport This is book 10 in the series and another winner for Jami Davenport in my humble opinion. This is the story of Jared Roderick and Stephanie (Steph) Clarke. This book had me hooked from the very first page. I absolutely loved Jared and Steph, two people hurt by their pasts yet equally determined to move on. Whilst Jared is looking for love, Steph is bound and determined to ignore the sizzling chemistry between them. All Jared wants is to find a woman who is the total opposite of his cheating ex wife. In Steph he believes he has finally found her. Jared doesn’t count on the walls that Steph puts up to protect herself. It’s time for her to live the life she wants and deserves, away from her controlling father and her abusive ex boyfriend. From the start of Shutdown Player I wanted these two to get together and remain that way. Can they each work through the troubles of their pasts and in doing so find a love that is strong enough to survive? The chemistry between Jared and Steph is scorching and this was one of those books that I simply didn’t want to put down. I love that Ms.Davenport’s characters are not perfect, they are flawed and the situations they find themselves in are easy to relate too, her characters are strong and her stories well written. Although it is book 10 in the series, it can easily be read as a stand alone.

Can a series get any better when you hit book 10 well Jami Davenport has done just that, in my opinion this is the best book so far in the Game On in Seattle Series, I could not put Steph and Roderick’s story down and if you love Hockey and sports romance this is a must read. Jared Roderick has been through the ringer, he has seen the worst side of marriage when he finds out his ex wife basically married him for money and status. Stephanie Clarke was raised in strong church going family and in her teenage years she rebelled and fell in love with the worst person for her, he treated her so badly, he pimped her out as a lap dancer and he hurt her in the worst possible way with his fists. Can two people who should be scared off relationships for good make it work this time around, can they get over the fears of history repeating itself........ This author gave us two people who are kind and trusting yet broken from the past and she took us on their journey of learning to trust and love again. jami Davenport has fast become one of my go to authors and for me this is one of the best hockey series out there. Looking forward to more from the Seattle Sockeyes.

This is a complete romance story with some tragic details and minimal sexual details. The extra issues made the story complete with more challenges and triumphs/failures.
