A review by katiedermody
Behind the Net by Stephanie Archer
I fully admit that I'm late to the Stephanie Archer fan club, but I'm here now! Whenever I'd see her book's covers I'd think "I want to read those" and I'm glad I finally did. They give me a Becka Mack vibes: a Vancouver hockey team (this one is the Storm), an interesting group of guys, funny moments, lots of excellent smutty moments. Pippa recently left the concert tour she'd be following and working for for two years, her boyfriend as the musician. She's given up on music for herself and is looking for other jobs, and becomes an assistant for a player on the team her sister, Hazel, works for as a physio. Surprise: the player is her old high school crush Jamie. What she doesn't know is he also had a crush on her back then. He's very serious now, doesn't date, has a mom he's taking care of, has a dog he just rescued from the street even though he isn't sure he wants a dog, and is kind of a grumpy asshole to her at first. But he ends up being super supportive and encouraging (and demanding, but she likes it), and helps her orgasm, which she's only ever done solo before. I really enjoyed this one and I can see myself going through the author's backlist now, starting with Hazel's book.
