Publisher: Mirror Press
Release Date: December 10, 2019
Genre: Clean Sports Romance

Jax Emerson, legendary forward for the Chicago Flyers, is ready to throw it all away when he uncovers the truth behind his NHL contract. The last thing he needs is more media attention, or his father to get involved in his contract, or a beautiful woman apologizing once again for an accident.

Meg Bailey didn’t think her life could get any worse, until it does. Time is running out before her business is forced to close. When Jax Emerson offers a solution, she knows that by accepting his help, she might be getting in too deep. And deep is not a place her heart is prepared to go.

Welcome to Northbrook Hockey Elite!

Six professional hockey players used to play on an elite club team together, but have all separated and now play in the pro-hockey leagues. Not all of them were friends, yet circumstances bring them together, and for the greater good, maybe they can put aside their differences.


My Review ♥️


The more I read about hockey experiences the more I wonder if this is a sport that I should be getting more into!  Powerplay is the second book in the Northbrook Hockey Elite series, and with each volume I fall more in love not only with the characters and the series, but with the sport itself! 

In this book we meet Jax, a natural talent with lots of insecurities and a hot temper, which is what I would expect from a hockey player.  Meghan is a Chicago hockey fan that is not like any girl that Jax has ever met, and that's not including the unorthodox way their paths happen to cross, which is absolutely unexpected, and quite unique, but the chemistry between the two is palpable from the beginning, and it's not hard to root for the pair.

The scenes that cover the hockey games put you right there in the action, taking these moments to a higher level, thanks to the incredible writing of Heather B. Moore.  The conflict of the story is a heavy blanket draped over the entire narrative, but this strife gives such great depth to both Jax and Meghan, and makes the resolution even more satisfying.

This series continues to get better and better and I can't wait for Rebound, Book #3, to come out January 14th!!
My Rating: ★★★★
