Review: Body Check by Elle Kennedy

 

New York Times bestselling author of the Briar U series Elle Kennedy’s first hockey romance, Body Check, is now released in an expanded version, with both new and enhanced scenes by the author! More story, more hockey—and more heat!

After a childhood spent being dragged around the country by her hockey coach father, Hayden Houston intends to take some time to figure out her future. Whether that future will include her currently off-again boyfriend remains to be seen. What it certainly won’t include is the for-one-night-only guy she just met at a bar.   

It seems hockey star Brody Croft did not get the memo about being temporary. Big, bold and driven, he’s dedicated in everything he does. Up till now, that’s been his team—the one owned by Hayden’s dad. But his night with Hayden has sparked something he didn’t expect. The two of them are good together. Really good. There’s a connection he’s never experienced before, one he knows they’d be wrong to ignore. Even with a game-fixing scandal testing both their loyalties—to teammates, to friends…to family. 

Part of Hayden wants to turn tail and run. A complicated relationship with a bad boy hockey player is exactly what she never wanted. But when it comes to Brody, Hayden is realizing that people can be so much more than what they seem.

What I thought about Body Check

This title was originally released in March 2009 and has been re-released with new and enhanced scenes.  

If you've ever read any hockey romance from Elle Kennedy, you know that she knows hockey and always gives the reader a good ride. In Body Check, Art History professor Hayden is looking for a distraction in her life, while Brody is looking for something that isn't a one-night-stand.  There's a boatload of chemistry between these characters and I liked the dynamic of Hayden being the one who wanted no strings.

This is a quick, easy read with plenty of steamy moments.  Things move along quickly which I like and while you probably won't find any surprises, it's a very satisfying and fun hockey romance.
