 Y'all ready for some Brooklyn Bruisers hockey? Sarina Bowen is easily one of my top go to authors. I just L.O.V.E. her writing, and she knows her sport! Sarina is one of those authors I just happened upon by chance and I encourage EVERYONE to read. She's so talented; and I personally feel under recognized for her awesomeness. 
 This new series published by Berkley, is somewhat of a spinoff of her The Ivy Years (New Adult) series. We've known Leo Trevi as a starter on the Harkness (college) hockey team for awhile. He's DJ's older brother, and all this fun hotness as a secondary character, but he "dated" the most horrible girls. Gosh did he ever. We learned a bit about Leo and Georgia's backstory in the THE FIFTEENTH MINUTE, however I feel this installment can easily be read without reading that book as a prequel. 
 Rookie Move is aptly named with Leo the newest player to the Brooklyn Bruisers line up and Georgia Worthington a PR rep for his new sports team hoping stay in her interim job as the department head. Both of them feel just a touch in over the head professionally. I know this is a contemporary romance but the characters are still young, new to their roles and I still feel the NA vibe. Which is great because I love that. The plot pairs a second-chance with a forbidden relationship (co-workers and a Dad/Coach situation). So many times in a second chance story one of them really screwed up in the past and has to grovel the whole book. That is not how this story unfolds. Leo was a great boy back then and he's a sexier, bigger, albeit more determined man now. He's just not giving in this time. Georgia, I adore her character and resilience in the face of challenges before her. She's an athlete in her own right and knows she can't resist Leo Trevi in close quarters; though she tries!! Tons of romantic tension, and funny moments between these two. 
 What I really enjoyed about this book, was how a traumatic life event, can indirectly affect more than just the person that was victimized. It impacts everyone who cares for them. We know that in real life but it's not often portrayed so honestly in fiction. This a beautiful story and great lead in to another amazing series from Sarina Bowen.
