Description
Six professional hockey players used to play on an elite club team together, but have all separated and now play in the pro-hockey leagues. Not all of them were friends, yet circumstances bring them together, and for the greater good, maybe they can put aside their differences.
She isn't supposed to want him. He isn't supposed to want her. But wanting each other is inevitable.
Clint McCarthy has finally achieved his dream of playing for a professional hockey program, and is eager to make his mark with his new team. While getting settled in his new city, he happens across Bree Stone, whom he has known for years, with their respective brothers both being in the famed Belltown Six Pack. But for the life of him, he can't remember Bree ever looking so attractive. Or being so captivating. Or taking over his every waking thought.
In the middle of her graduate degree, Bree has no time or desire for working on her dating life, or lack thereof, but the impossibly handsome Clint McCarthy coming back into her life makes everything complicated. She shouldn't be focusing on him, or on them, not when her professional future hangs in the balance. But once she hears about Clint's past with the Northbrook Hockey Elite program, and where that program stands now, Bree just might find a way to make her career, and a future with Clint, come to life.
Faceoff is the first book in the Northbrook Hockey Elite Series - a romantic and uplifting sports romance filled with warm reunions, heartfelt conversations and mutual support with plenty of chemistry.

Praise for the Northbrook Hockey Elite series
? ? ? ? ? I loved the Belltown series which was romance with a side of baseball, now we get romance with a side of hockey.
? ? ? ? ? Their meet-cute was believable and fun and her roommates were funny and helpful to the story.
? ? ? ? ? This is a clean sports romance that features siblings of the Bell Town Six and more. We get to catch up on all the previous characters and meet new ones to set up this new series.
? ? ? ? ? Rebecca Connolly is so good at writing a clean and swoony story with a likeable cast of characters.
? ? ? ? ? I laughed and giggled at this story- it was so cute!
? ? ? ? ? Whether you are a fan of hockey or not, don't hesitate to read this book.
? ? ? ? ? I would recommend this to anyone who loves sports and a good romantic read.
