Dirty Secret by Mira Lyn Kelly

5.0

Allie/Natalie and Vaughan, a NHL player, hooked up when she knew who he was but he didn't know she was the little sister of his arch rival. Vaughan never expected to see her again, because she snuck out of the hotel room. But he never forgot her.

Fast forward to present day, and Vaughan runs into her in Chicago, where he's now playing on the same team as her brother is. Vaughan is known for being a belligerent grouch, but he shows a different side to Natalie. They strike up a secret friendship, and then become secret lovers. But Natalie is tired of being put on the back burner to the career of an NHL hockey player, and has no plans to get in deep with Vaughan. So what happens if she does? And what happens if her brother finds out about the relationship between Natalie and Vaughan?

This book was well-written. I loved the author's style, and it had all the feels. Vaughan had a great character arc, going from a liability to…read the book and you'll find out. I loved the smiles he had just for Natalie.

The book was also well-researched. I loved all the hockey details, of the NHL and of the youth hockey community. They were very descriptive.

Highly recommended.
