Hannah Wade’s heart might’ve once been touched by a rancher’s son, but her real passion has always been sports. Years later, when her sports career is cut short by injury, she jumps at the chance to be one of Calgary’s first female sports reporters. Trouble is, some of the old dinosaurs she works with think she’s only there to look good, add ratings, and stir controversy among the fiercely loyal hockey fans. She longs to prove herself, so when an opportunity comes along to interview newly traded defenseman Franklin James, she meets him. Or, more accurately, re-meets him. With disastrous effect.
Growing up with three sisters means Franklin thought he knew something about women, but nothing had ever prepared him for the sparkling firecracker that is Hannah. And yet her vibrant personality holds a sweetness and soft side, something that draws his interest and protectiveness when an interview goes south. And there’s something about her that’s vaguely familiar…
Can these two overcome prejudice and find a way forward? And what has faith – or the lack of – got to do with anything?
Fire and Ice–not your typical hockey romance.
I’ve read a few general market hockey romance novels that were a little steamier than my personal preference, so I was excited to read Carolyn Miller’s take. With it being a Christian novel, I figured there would be substantial differences–there were.
Miller’s book not only includes much more Christian content, it’s actually more focused on the hockey reporter, who just happens to be a woman. While the characters happen to play/love hockey, the theme focuses much more on the struggle women have in male-dominated fields (sports reporting) and trusting in God. So technically a hockey romance, but you don’t have to be a hockey fan (or even know what hockey is) to follow the story.
If you enjoy slow-burn romance with a strong spiritual element, I think you’ll like this book.
Rated PG.
