Game On in Seattle #7
Jami Davenport
Released April 30th, 2016
Cedona Enterprises
As the wild child of the family, Bellani Maxwell isn’t
interested in settling down. Between a fledgling party crashing business,
teaching self-defense at a martial arts studio, and hitting the bar every
night, she has her hands full. She doesn’t need the added responsibility or
commitment of a relationship.
Hockey star Cedric Pederson has all the puck bunnies he could
ever want, but a chance encounter eighteen months ago leaves him with eyes only
for the gorgeous, free-spirited Bella. Too bad she isn’t interested in what
Cedric has to offer beyond frequent hookups, and he’s grown tired of their
on-again, off-again non-relationship. He wants to be all-in or all-out.
When a brutal attack leaves Bella in need of comfort,
protection, and healing, the only person she wants is Cedric. But once she’s
living in his condo, Bella is confronted with a decision she’s been avoiding—can
she finally commit to Cedric, or will she let him go one last time?
CONTENT WARNING: Contains graphic and potentially disturbing

I have not read the other books in this series but I can say
that I was not lost when I started reading this one. This reads as a standalone
as well. There is an attack that takes place so if you are sensitive to some
triggers you might want to stay away from this one. It is not bad though.
I have to say that I am very impressed by Jami Davenport's
writing and the way that she had her character deal with the attack. Bella is a
very strong character, but even those who are strong have to eventually deal
with things that may cause them to lean on others for support. After Bella gets
attacked, she thinks that she is ok and that nothing will trigger flashbacks
for her but when she gets with Cedric, someone that she trusts and is
comfortable with, things turn out different for her. Cedric is very patient with
Bella and super supportive to her while she is dealing with the aftermath of
the attack. Cedric knows that she has to be able to move on in her own
time.
I love the chemistry between Cedric and Bella, even though
it took a little longer for them to get past the attack together. When these
two are able to five into their passion for each other, the sparks ignite and
the steam is vamped up in the story. I loved how Cedric was so concerned over
Bella and her being alone when he was away playing his games. Most guys would
just forget about it and play their game and deal with everything later on.
Cedric was always thinking about Bella even in his games when it caused him to
be distracted. I thought that this was a true testament to his real feelings
for Bella as well.
Overall, I really liked this story and highly recommend it.
I like how Jami Davenport used hockey titles for the chapters to relate it back
to what Cedric does for a living. Very clever. Thanks for the good read and I
can't wait to see what is next in this series!
