Offside: Special Edition

After being dumped on her 21st birthday, Bailey James rebounds right into the arms of her ex's biggest competition, Chase Carter: Antagonizer, womanizer, and infamous left winger for the Boyd University Falcons.


Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team's #1 rival. But a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up... Until she throws up on his shoes.


Caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena, Bailey and Chase are on opposite sides of the bench. He's worked his entire life to secure a future in the NHL. She's tagged along for the ride while her brother Derek, star defensive for the Bruder College Bulldogs, has done the same. Fraternizing with the enemy is definitely out of the question. Except this enemy is impossible to resist.

I was worried this book would run out of things to cover (material) when I saw how long it is. However, it had plenty to say! The twists and turns it took were not typical of a NA hockey romance book. The content was mature, not just because of the spicy scenes… it touched on real character insecurities based on real worldly threats to their MMC & FMC’s happiness. I’m excited to see what’s next in the series… but low key wish we could have more about Chase’s BF and his on again/off again “doesn’t wanna be called” GF. I feel like there’s more to that story, and I’m here for it!
