I loved Griz so much!! This is the first book I read in this series and I wasn't lost at all but I am definitely going back and reading Player and Gucci's books. I loved the banter the teammates all had, their connection, and friendship made me feel like part of their group. When we find out what happened to Griz and the upset he seemed to suffer I felt bad for him and this event is what has led him to focus more on his hockey game rather than distractions in the form of women. His attraction to Hattie is very much there and a live so he fights it but out of the blue at a charity auction Hattie is hosting she bids on a date with Griz and wins. How can he fight his attraction when he is forced in close proximity with her? Hattie has a terrible family that belittles her and wants her to change to fit them, one of those things is her weight and her bridezilla sister is driving her crazy. On a whim of trying to to lose her mind on her sister she bids on Griz but she questions why because she doesn't want to seem crazy or desperate even if she thinks he is the hottest thing on the planet. These two have amazing chemistry and try to fight their growing attractions but can they keep it up for long? Will it be something that lasts or will it be a fling if they do? I loved the characters, the brotherhood of the team members, and can't wait to read more. ( )
