I've been so excited to read Micah's story and now it's finally here!!
From the blurb:
“For five million dollars, would you send a relative to jail?”
"Bud, I would pay five million dollars to send a few there."
Problem number one: Almost everything the world thinks they know about me is a lie.
Problem number two: Two people know the truth.
Problem number three: One of those two is a stalker and he's having a blast using that information against me to get his way.
The good news is, the second person who knows the truth about who I am seems pretty dedicated to taking my stalker down.
The bad news is, it’s NHL goalie Vanya Maximov, and he and I had a one night stand that I can’t stop thinking about. And while Vanya might be walking sunshine so bright he can make even my blind ass see light, we have no business being together.
I’m a mess, and while Vanya is everything I’ve ever wanted in a partner, he deserves better than me.
If only he was willing to listen to reason. If only he was less stubborn and able to give up on a lost cause.
But with his ability to give me exactly what I want—a little pain with my pleasure—and his refusal to treat me like I’m fragile, something dangerous starts happening.
I’m beginning to think that maybe—just maybe—he’s right, and I am worth everything he sees.
Hat Trick is the second book in the Punk as Puck spin-off trilogy, Legends and Fury. It’s a high heat, friends to lovers romance with a sunshine NHL goalie who also might be a golden retriever in disguise, a PPHL goalie with big black cat energy, a stalker, and no faith in himself, hooking up in a friend’s car, praise and pain, high stakes romance, hockey bro banter, tons of chirping, and the swooniest happily ever after.
Angel's review:
When I read Jonah's book, the first one in this series, I suspected there was something serious going on with Micah, and my suspicions were correct.
I don't want to give any spoilers away but seeing as how the blurb mentions a stalker, I can at least discuss that in minor detail. Micah has always been portrayed as this larger than life play boy who loves to sleep around.. But that's not who he actually is, that's just one of the many masks he wears. And in this book, his book, we get to finally know the true Micah. <3
I'm always completely enamored by EM Lindsey's writing and this book is no different, in fact I think this might be one of my favorites. I just loved how EM took a very serious situation, along with something we can all relate to, (ie, wearing masks), and turned that into something beautiful. There was a lot of hardship along the way, along with anger and grief and plenty of frustration too. But there was also joy and lightness and once Micah finally let his walls come down there was so many beautiful found family scenes going on that I just loved!!
Now, I HAVE to talk about my favorite character in this book which is Vanya. I was enamored by his character in the other book and he's just even better in this one. I adore how he's direct and to the point while still being soft, kind, and caring. He cares fiercely about those close to him and I just really enjoyed reading about him and getting to read his perspective throughout this story.
I don't think there could've been a better fit for these two men than with each other. They balance each other out in such a profound way.. When Micah is more unsteady, Vanya is a steady presence, when Vanya struggles finding the English words he needs, Micah is there to help fill in the blanks. And of course their relationship is more than those moments, but those are the ones that stood out to me the most for some reason.
As always with EM's books, I highly recommend you read this book! Although, I would suggest reading the first book in the series first. While this one can be read as a standalone, there are some moments that are referred to in this book that happened in the first one, so you won't have that extra insight if you skip the first one. And.. The first one is great as well so why not read them both?!
