Rising star Zack Grantham has been stuck in a downward spiral of grief ever since the car accident that left him a single dad and put his career on hold. Back on the road with the Carolina Cold Fury and still crippled by emotional baggage, he’s in need of some serious help with his son. But while the nerdy new nanny wins his son’s heart, Zack isn’t sure he’s ready for a woman’s touch—even after getting a glimpse of the killer curves she’s hiding under those baggy clothes.
Kate Francis usually keeps men like Zack at a distance. Though his athlete’s body is honed to perfection, he refuses to move on with his life—and besides, he’s her boss. Still, the sparks between them are undeniable, tempting Kate to turn their professional relationship into a personal one. But before she makes a power play for Zack’s wounded heart, Kate will have to open him up again and show him that love is worth the fight.

I must admit when I started reading this series, I wasn't really that excited as I am not a Hockey fan. there are some terminologies that i just couldn't get but i must admit that the first 2 books in this series got me interested and i keep on wanting more from these hot players!
Zack is a Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Player and he got into an accident that killed his partner and mother of his child. He was devastated and he was left alone to look and care for his kid, the adorable Ben. Entered the geeky live in nanny, Kate. She was pretty cute with her geeky and dorky attitude but beneath that facade is a superlicious hot babe. Just what Zack needed. Kate is pretty good with her job taking care of little Ben and that made her off limits to Zack. He couldn't afford to loose Kate just because he's attracted to her - but their chemistry is off the charts that they just have to give in, but Zack is still hurting from and with all his past issues he couldn't commit himself to Kate. They have the no strings attached sexual relationship but as their affair goes further Kate started to hope and one day she just couldn't take anymore the hot-cold attitude of Zack. Ugh. I hate Zack but I guess that was part Sawyer's plan because it's really sweet and caveman-ish on how Zack claimed Kate back. :)
Zack for me is the best among the 3. It is recommended that you read the first 2 stories in the series to better understand what happened to Zack but this can be read as a stand alone. Highly recommended for Hockey and Sawyer Bennett Fans out there! :)
