Not all fights are one on one. In a team, no man should
stand alone.
‘You can’t keep me.’
Shawn ‘Easy’ Pischlar has given his speech so often, it should be written on the white board in the Dartmouth Cobra’s locker room. Too many of his own teammates have heard the words.
And the games he’s played are finally catching up to him.
To hang on to his freedom, Shawn gave up on ever having someone to call his own. A young woman who expects nothing from him slips into his life and has him ready to toss the rulebook. While the man he loves tempts him to burn it.
Keeping them both would be easy, only…caring about them isn’t.
Because when he lets himself care, he remembers why he wrote the rules in the first place. Every lover, from the casual, to those who steal a piece of his heart, shouldn’t expect more than pleasure. More than passion.
Playing the game, on and off the ice, is his whole world. One he isn’t ready to change.
Except, life doesn’t stop for the game. And when old scars are ripped open, and he’s left bloody and beaten, the rules won’t help him put the pieces of his life back together.
To win this fight, he’ll have to break each and every one.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
I am a huge fan of the Dartmouth Cobras so am always excited when a new book is released. Please do read them in order, as the team relationships are as much a thread as the new relationships developing.
What Ms. Sommerland does so effectively, is write a story where you cannot determine the outcome until the very end. Undoubtedly you have wishes and hopes, but nothing is ever as simple. And the point of realisation often turns on something minor – but crucial.
The dynamics of each scene are finely balanced and the erotic skills of these players are fully explored. At the same time, there is a subtlety that allows for imagination to run riot too. I would challenge anyone to remain unmoved.
The hockey is also a key element to the tale, and always exciting to read.
Only problem now is the wait for the next book – but I can always reread the feast of stories we have already.

Tell you about me? Hmm, well, there’s not much to say. I love hockey and cars and my kids…not in that order of course! Lol! When I’m not writing—which isn’t often—I’m usually watching a game or a car show while networking. Going out with my kids is my only downtime. I get to clear my head and forget everything.
As for when and why I first started writing, I guess I thought I’d get extra cookies if I was quiet for a while—that’s how young I was. I used to bring my grandmother barely legible pages filled with tales of evil unicorns. She told me then that I would be a famous author.
I hope one day to prove her right.
