Abby

I only have one love now—the home furnishings business I’m building into an empire. Maybe money and success can’t love me back, but they keep what’s left of my heart safe. One-night stands are my way of scratching the occasional itch I get for something more. And no one’s better for that than a sexy as sin hockey player I’ll never see again after one very hot night together.

Luca

I used to love two things: hockey and women. But now my nieces and nephew are my top priority, because I’m raising them after tragedy stole their parents. Somehow I balance single parenthood and my career as a forward for the Chicago Blaze. There’s no time for women, until I get knocked on my ass by Abby Daniels. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted, but her devastating past may end us before we even get started.

I don’t know what it is with Brenda Rothert! She makes these awesome Blaze books! Makes me addicted! And now I have to wait for the next one! I mean come on!  

Okay! All kidding aside, I have to say that Luca is a fantastic book, that is full of unimaginable pain and heartbreak which slowly changes into love and passion! But fear not those of you who dislike sports romance! Yet again the author has not exclusively focused everything around the world of hockey, but instead made the characters paramount! And I think that’s what sets this author apart from others!  

I love the relationship between Abby, Luca, and the kids. I really enjoyed how the author gave time for each child’s personality to show through. 

I give Luca a firm 5 stars!
