Moonlighter by Sarina BowenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Four and a half stars, Sarina Bowen does it again!
This is the start of a new series and is a cross-over with Sarina's Brooklyn Bruisers series.
Eric Bayer is a successful hockey player for the Brooklyn Bruisers but he is considered the slacker in his family: his father and brother run a cyber security business so secretive he doesn't even know its name. He has six weeks holiday before the season starts but gets roped into acting as part bodyguard/part boyfriend for an old family friend, tech billionaire Alex Engels. Alex has to present to a tech conference in Hawaii and is three months pregnant by her abusive ex-boyfriend.
This isn't just a romance between a hot hockey player and a pregnant tech billionaire (who also happens to be a childhood friend), there's also industrial espionage to contend with. If I'm totally honest I thought this was a bit too obvious and I have my suspicions about Mr Smith, an unresolved point which will perhaps act as a segue into the next book which I suspect will involve Eric's brother Max and his beautiful second-in-command.
Anyhoo, as I repeatedly say I would read the back of a cereal box if Sarina Bowen wrote it, she has such a great way of creating memorable characters and I loved the way she defied my expectations about the romance between Eric and Alex after Hawaii.
Eagerly awaiting the next book in this exciting new series.
