From the bestselling author of the San Francisco Thunder series comes a sexy forbidden romance between a determined hockey player and the woman he won't let get away.

As his team's enforcer on the ice, Sebastian Deveau is America's favorite fighting Frenchman. But he's just as likely to get into trouble off the ice -- especially when it comes to women.
Shayne Beckford is so over hockey. It ruined her parents' marriage. It spoiled her brother's dreams. And let's not even talk about her college boyfriend . . . So when Sebastian Deveau walks into her brother's gym, she has no idea who he is. All she knows is that he's one gorgeous man with the sexiest accent she's ever heard. And since she never has to see him again, she lets him give her the best orgasm of her life right on top of the gym's dryer.
But Sebastian isn't going to let this one-night stand get away so easily. He fights for what he wants, even if it takes fighting a little dirty . . .

Review

"...this soapy drama was full of everything I love--laugh out loud humor, heart-felt emotion and heat to melt any icy surface." -- Give Me Books

Victoria Denault delivered a fantastic story that kept me glued to the pages.Between the sizzling chemistry and creative dialogue, I loved Shayne and Sebastian's relationship. I can honestly say that the Hometown Players Series is one of my favorite sports romance / hockey romance series. I can't wait to see what player is going to score a goal next. -- Smut Book Junkie

About the Author

Shayne had a good reason for her resistance to a romance with a hockey player, but I was glad she was able to unpack some of her baggage and give Seb a chance. I enjoyed their interactions, and agree, that they were good for each other. It's been a long time since I read the first three books, and I was thrilled to get a bit of an update on the couples from the previous books. Overall, I had a lot of fun being back in this world, and am looking forward to the next book.

I loved this story of Shayne who grew up with a hockey player father who was a dirtbag so she wants nothing to do with Hockey players. But she meets Sebastian and their attraction is like a magnet and steel, they can't seem to stay away from each other, only she doesn't know he's a hockey player at first, then when she finds out she still can't resist the pull. Can they get past the distrust that her father continues to cause in their relationship? Read the book and see! I'm loving this series.

This book was alright. I liked the characters, LOVED Sebastian's accent, but I was not all that thrilled with Shayne's reluctance. Sure, I get it. She is jaded because her father was a d-bag and her mother preferred to turn a blind eye, but her determination to judge people by their career choice is just juvenile. Especially, when she used that as justifiable reasoning to sabotage a potential relationship from the start. IMO, Sebastian was a saint. Of course, he had the body for sin and that helped keep the rating at a 3. It just couldn't push it any higher because the story did not hold my interest for long. Most likely because the writing style was in the trade-offs between the main characters. It makes the flow of the story choppy for me.

Otherwise, it was decent writing. Some banter was grin-worthy. Might read the other books in the series. Yes, this book can be read as a standalone book. 3 stars.

So amazing. I finished this so quickly. I'm so happy to see some of the characters we know and love in the book. Seb was way more adorable than I anticipated him being. Shaye reminded me a bit of callie which was super cute to see. I could see shaye and Callie being best friends.

Great work I hope these characters never end!!!

Another 5 star book, I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

3.5 - "You're the exception... not the rule." Stars!

The fourth book in Victoria Denaults’ Hometown Players series, gives us Sebastian Deveau’s story. He figured a little in the previous book in the series and I liked his happy-go-lucky charm, so I was interested to see who the author was going to pair him up with.

One thing Victoria manages to do in spades is deliver up a swoon-worthy hero. All three previous books have offered up a sexy hockey player, that although may be a little messed up for various reasons, have big hearts and their actions always come from well-intentioned motivations, they may not always get it right first time, but they always make sure they make amends and usually in sexy-hot ways, Sebastian Deveau definitely sits in this definition for me.

"who are you..?"

"I’m many things, but the one thing that should matter to you is that I’m the man who is crazy about you."

But as with the previous book The Final Move, it was the author’s characterization of her female lead that lowered my enjoyment level a little. Thankfully Shayne Beckford wasn’t quite as frustrating as Callie Caplan was, it was more of a first half meh, second half maybe in relation to personality for me.

In that her actions seemed to completely contradict her head, in the beginnings of the book, whereas when she finally engaged brain in the second half, she still allowed her pre-conceived, and for me, weak assumptions and notions for all hockey players to inevitably, make life unnecessarily hard between her and Sebastian, and the relationship that they were forging.

"You’ve been looking for a way to talk yourself out of this since I talked you into it. And you know what? I’m going to let you this time…"

This is a woman with a whole boat load of daddy issues, and rightly so, the author portrayed him as a sexist, adulterous tool for the whole of the book, but my problem with Shay’s behaviour in relation to it, seemed extremely disproportionate if you take in to account the lack of reasons Seb gave her to judge him badly by, and her critical attitude of a few of the other women she becomes friendly with as the book progresses, just because they are in some way involved with Ice Hockey.

"There’s just something about you that makes me… happy every time I see you."

She does eventually pull herself together and I wasn’t massively frustrated in the scheme of things as with the previous book so all-in-all it was a book I enjoyed more than I disliked.

"I’m not just in your head… I’m deeper than that. I’m in your veins. I’m in your blood. You can fight against it all you want, but I know you know it’s a losing battle."

Winning It All was still a relatively easy read, it was great to immerse myself back into the guys of the Seattle Winterhawks Ice Hockey team, catch up with Jordan and Jessie and the rest of the team dynamic and banter through the telling of the story. The next book in the series On The Line, is due for release in December, I am hoping that this one is a little lighter on the erroneous drama, and more focused on the characters and the building of their relationships, as this is still a series that I really enjoy and I hope to see more books from it into 2017.

"You’ve got one smart mouth… I like smart mouths."

It's like cat and mice but with a twist. Sebastian is always looking for his relationships to work until they don't and then he just moves on. What happens when your not in a defined relationship but you want one and it doesn't work. Can he move on past Shayne or will she chase him when his chase is over?

I also enjoyed the fact that this author mentioned places relatively close to my home. I will definitely read more of this series.

Really enjoyed this book. The storyline was great, from the beginning I didn’t want to put this book down. Sebastian was such a strong, charismatic, sexy guy. Shayne was a gutsy, sarcastic, strong woman who had good reasons for all her feelings. I enjoyed the banter, quick wit & seriously sexy dialogue between Sebastian & Shayne, they could both give as good as they got. The battle of not living her mother’s life by getting together with a professional hockey player was difficult when Shayne met Sebastian. Their relationship started backwards & it was hard for them moving forward with Shayne’s family background. I totally disliked her father the cheating old hockey star & I was disappointed in the mother until everything was explained further on in the story, but still not happy with her decisions. I really love this series, it’s done so professionally with the hockey knowledge & author Victoria Denault has become another of my go to hockey authors. Definitely recommend.

Another great book from the Hometown Players series... the way Victoria writes her book, you CANNOT feel involved in the life of those characters... so many time you feel that you are part of the story and that they are your best friends... Also seeing how Shayne who lived that life of being surrounded by hockey and trying to trust a hockey player, that is totally how real life is all about. I can't wait for the following book.

Sebastian and Shayne are so opposite yet perfect together. However, Sebastian has to prove that to Shayne! You see, Shayne hates hockey players! She grew up with a hockey legend father...a liar and cheater to his wife and kids. She trusts none of them and is very angry to find out Seb is a defenseman for his NHL team in Seattle. Sebastian is determined to win her over.
