Have been looking forward to another book in the series. Love the NY Blades series even though I know nothing about NY or hockey. I did have a few problems with the book but otherwise it was a very sweet story.

I loved the relationship between Adam and Sinead. I appreciated that they argued about real things and when they experienced problems it was believable. I think too many romances have frustrating "I'm not worth it, poor me" kind of plot lines to create problems in the relationship. This one wasn't like that at all. Of course I also adored all the old characters from the other books. I also found the lawsuit intriguing and wished Martin spent more time developing that.

The major thing I had against it was that it wasn't clear how exactly did Sinead help with the lawsuit. Maybe just one sentence to tie in Welsh and the DA in Philly. Don't want to say too much and ruin it for others. Another minor problem I had would only be relevant if you read the whole series. How was it that Sinead didn't know ViVi or Anthony? How is it possible that Sinead did not know her sister-in-law's (Natalie) half-sister? Minor detail I know.

Otherwise, it was a fun quick read. I don't this could be a stand alone book but it's just more fun if you had some background on all the side characters.
