Stone Townsend is the center for the pro-hockey team in Charleston. There are just a few things he’s concerned with: bringing his large family together again, leading his new team to a championship, and doing a lot of scoring–on and off the ice. Which is why it was the worst time to get an injury under new team management and a new coach.

Natalie Novak owns a new sports academy that trains and rehabilitates athletes. She’s also a former prima ballerina and daughter of Charleston’s new hockey coach, though no one knows it. But there was a lot more going on behind her pretty costumes and flawless leaps, including being thrown into the spy world when she was dancing in London. She thought it would be simple enough to leap back out, but her past is about to find her.

All Stone cared about was getting back into skating shape for the tournament. But when the paradox of Natalie gets his attention, he realizes there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye–including someone who wants to kill her. With his heart and career in Natalie’s hands, he vows to protect her with his life.

Was interesting and the plot was easy to follow. Got a few laughs out of the story line and I think I like Gator more now that he is showing himself as a caring guy

A slap shot in the net!

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023

For a start of a new series addition to the quirky town of Shadows Landing, this was a slap shot in the net. Stone Townsend is a swoon worthy character. Strong, tough, kind, funny, and loyal. Natalie is his perfect match and a perfect fit to the Townsend family.

While the storyline felt a little rushed to me, I couldn't put the book down. I laughed and cheered for the two main characters. It could be because, as an avid fan of all books from Kathleen Brooks, her books pull you in, give you a big hug, and give you an enjoyable escape to a well developed quirky town and the characters you wish you could really meet.

What makes these books so enjoyable is the connections and crossovers with her other series. These connections do not make each installment feel like you are required to read in succession from Ms. Brooks Bluegrass series, Web of Lies series, Women of Power series, and the original Shadows Landing series, but it does make each book a little more enjoyable because of the crossovers and connections. So, yes, each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, but really, it is a little more fun seeing characters from other books join the storyline... Making it feel like it is a small world you get to read about. I hope that made sense, but if you do take on the challenge to read all of Kathleen Brooks books and series, you will understand.

I have read every book by Kathleen Brooks and I have never been disappointed. I feel like I’m part of the community and friends with the characters.

Wonderfully entertaining new spinoff

You don't have to read Shadows Landing series but it will give the stories of most of the rest of the people in that town. Stone is introduced in previous books but we get the real guy in this one. He finally finds a woman that intrigues him. Natalie is a retired ballerina and meets Stone as part of his hockey rehab. The sparks fly with these two. The characters are likeable and fun to read. Natalie is in danger and Shadows Landing comes out to help.

I eagerly anticipated this book because I couldn't wait to find out where the author would take us. The Townsends are a strong, united, and fiercely protective family, and it was so enjoyable to read more about them.

Stone is the desirable athlete that all women desire. Despite his reputation as a player, he only needed the right woman to win his heart and make us swoon. Once he found his perfect match, things became heated with the incredible chemistry they shared.

Natalie is pursuing her dreams and starting anew in Charleston to be closer to her father. She's stunning, talented, and an inspiration to others. She knows what she wants and won't let anyone stand in her way. Her time with Stone shows her that having someone who loves you unconditionally is essential and that, with the right partner, you can have it all.

Author Kathleen Brooks is a magician who knows how to captivate and win your heart with her swoon-worthy stories that you'll love and keep wanting more of.

This is book 1 in the Shadows Landing spin off. The Townsends which are Olivia's family. We already love Olivia so how cold we not love her family. Well based on how they acted in her and Grangers book pretty easily but we quickly fall in love with them. They are a tight knit group and are funny too. This book is Stone's book. Stone is the 2nd oldest and we are introduced to Natalie who is the coaches daughter but before he knew that, Stone was already hooked! In series past you would expect the town to be involved and there were but not in the way before. The characters along with Bubba were there and played parts but in a totally different way. This was a good read and I cannot wait until Hunter figures out about Maggie!

Caring brothers with attitude

This is an excellent start to the new spin off! You don't have to read the other books in the series to read and understand this one - but it helps! Stone is a wonderfully complex character and perfect for Nat. Their story is full of laughs, tension, and a great HEA!

I love the heck out of a good hockey romance. I swear when Kathleen introduced this book, I was skeptical. I digress to say I had the time of my life reading this book. We got hockey, we got turtles, we got trash talk, we got Cassidy, we got Sebastian, but most of all we got the BOSS known as Olivia. I swear she and Natalie had me cracking up. Hunter also added to the ribbing.

This book was so dog-on good. I was all over the place on who the bad guy was but was surprised by who was a narc. Pure Kathleen goodness.

I wanted to love it…

unfortunately it’s my least favorite book by this author :-(
I’m not sure if I had too high expectations or the book wasn’t that great but I struggled to connect with the characters the way I usually did and didn’t feel the chemistry between the two main characters.
Luckily there were some surprises I enjoyed and the action and Stone family dynamics helped a bit.

The first in this spin off series starts with a bang and I couldn’t get enough.
Natalie and Stone are adorable, twists and turns on the baddie kept you guessing, and the appearances of characters we already love were delightful.
It was great to delve more deeply into Stone and some of the Townsend family history, but we still had Bubba at alligator, apple pies from Miss Ruby & Miss Winnie, knitting club and Harper’s Bar.
So much fun and laughter - just wait for the hockey games and all the chirping!
