Fatherhood
blindsided me.
There I am, working to get a rise out of my cranky little rule-following,
fun-wrecking, soon-to-be ex-neighbor when my one-night stand from last season
shows up… in labor.
Next thing, I’m a single-dad begging for a crash course in caring for this tiny
miracle from the neighbor who loves to hate me.
Turns out, Nora raised half her siblings.
She knows things.
And I know my son needs her.
Unfortunately, she’s not impressed by my NHL career, my legendary charm, or the
rumors surrounding the size of my stick (all true btw).
But I’m not trying to impress her. Not anymore. I can’t.
I’m asking her to help me out, because my son deserves better than some player
who hasn’t even had a chance to read the manual yet.
Which means no matter how hot I find her spitfire mouth and those rules she
doesn’t break… Nora is off-limits.

Oh, man, I loved this story.
Axel, a fun loving, party hard or go home kind of man who believes hockey is
the best thing since sliced bread, has a thing for the cute neighbor next door.
A little flirting here and there and a spark was lit. Too bad it was doused by
one of his former hook-ups coming back into his life and giving Nora, the
neighbor, an all too real picture of what his life was like.
Axel's world is turned upside-down when a former hook-up shows up on his
doorstep, in labor, and tells him that a) the baby is his and b) she's giving
up her parental rights. Axel doesn't know anything about children much less
babies. He's surprised the nurses allow him to take the baby home but he soon
finds himself standing in front of Nora's door with the baby snuggled into his
chest.
The writer's ability to write about Axel's struggles with being a single dad,
the struggle in accepting help from his neighbor who's just slightly more than
acquaintance, and how Axel wants to be father that his was.
Nora's story is just as compelling, but it's Axel's that grabbed my attention
and held it throughout the book.

This is the fifth book in the series, and I highly recommend you read them in
order as the couples reappear in later books, and add to the story in each
installment.
Axel has always hosted all the parties... much to the annoyance of his super
sexy, but uninterested neighbour, Nora. Then a complete surprise discovery that
he is now a single dad, and he needs Nora for his son more than anything he may
desire for himself.
Nora grew up looking after her siblings, and has finally escaped, so even if
she had liked her neighbour, she would have been reluctant to help, but
circumstances force her hand, and baby Otto is definitely in need of her care.
The inevitable happens, but with a number of fun and engaging twists in the
journey. If you enjoy a good sports romance, you will be delighted with the
amount of time at games, training, and maybe Nora even watching them at home.
Very enjoyable read with lots of reasons to smile at the blossoming romance and
growth of a new family.
