Blurb


Hockey players are off limits...especially if they're on your brothers' team.

The last time Jordan did that, it ended in disaster. It was easy to promise her brothers she'd never date another one of their teammates again.

Until she meets Jake.

The spark she feels when she spends time with him makes her promise harder and harder to keep.

Surely her brothers would understand breaking this promise if it means following her heart.

Wouldn't they?

Never sleep with a teammate's sister.

This is the universal rule of athletes everywhere.

Until he meets Jordan.

As soon as Jake sets eyes on her, he wants her.

The goalie's job is to see missed shots and failed opportunities on the ice.

This is one shot he's not going to miss, no matter what obstacles get in his way.

POWER PLAY is a flirty, swoon worthy sexy rom-com and the first book in the BTU Alumni series. It can be read as a stand alone. If you like hockey boys, sarcastic friends, matchmaking K9’s, too-cute-to-handle kindergarteners, fierce heroines and swoony hot as puck Alpha heroes, then you want to get to know these cast of characters. One puck head and a HEA guaranteed.

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Don't look at me like that."
"Like what?"
"Like you want me to kiss you."
"Maybe I do."

This was probably my favorite part in the book and my favorite line this year! Everything that had led up to this moment and everything that happens afterwards made this scene so beautiful!

Power Play was a great debut book for Alley Ciz! 

What would you do if you found "the one" but couldn't do anything about it? That's the case with Jordan and Jake. 

I loved Jordan! She's a girl's girl as well as a guy's girl. She just fits in wherever without trying to impress anyone. But, she's been put through hell before and her brothers are super protective of her because of that. 

Jake is laid back. He's not a man whore (that title is reserved for someone else in the story) and he is really a great guy to his friends.

Both Jake and Jordan are family-oriented and they have their friends' backs at all times. Their personalities had me rooting for them because they are both so likeable. 

There was a unique way this was written. The story was told in dual POVs and the POVs would overlap certain scenes so that the reader could see the scene through both characters' eyes. Usually just a line or two overlap in the stories I've read. In Power Play, the were bigger portions that overlapped. I thought it was great to see the same situation though both points of view!

I enjoyed this story as well as peeking into the other characters and seeing the possibilities for the next story which I'm looking forward to.

This young adult romance has the forbidden romance trope as well as a touch of suspense. I would highly recommend reading this!
