REVIEW - DANCES WITH PUCKS by Debbie Charles


Cam stepped out of the airport into the sweltering Austin heat. He was in Austin to play for the new hockey expansion team, the Texas Tornadoes, and he is one step closer to his dream of a multi-year, multi-million-dollar contract. Now he just needed to land the position as starting goalie.

After meeting with the realtor and getting rid of his bags, he changes clothes and heads to scope out groceries, coffee, and a dance studio. Careful to make sure nothing signifies that he is a hockey player, wanting to fly under the radar as long as he can.

He would watch dance competitions with his mom and when he had read about his hockey idol dancing in one of the reality shows he started taking yoga and ballroom dancing classes. The classes kept his body limber and able to make the demanding splits needed to block the pucks from passing the goal line.
He finds a dance studio near his home and sees they have a social dance hour the next day. When he slips into the back of the class to stretch and change into his dance shoes, he is mesmerized by the instructor. She is perfect.
Christina was talking with her brother and sister at the gala celebrating their new expansion hockey team when she is asked to dance. She turns in shock to see her dance student standing before her, but is even more shocked to find that he is one of the players. She is his boss.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Cam is a huge hockey player with agile moves on the dance floor. Christina is more than a dancer, she is also co-owner of the hockey team.
This book is action-packed and full of spice. This is a reverse age-gap, taboo boss romance that is reminiscent of Dancing with the Stars and since I have read this book, every Instagram dance reel has me placing these characters as the dancers. Both Cam and Christina have personal hurdles to work through on top of the taboo owner/player issue that could put a halt to Cam's dreams.
I love the camaraderie and friendships in this story and look forward to reading more by this author. Highly recommend!
