Strictly for Now

The Salinger Brothers, Book 3

By: Carrie Elks

Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs, Cassandra Medcalf

I hate hockey. He hates everything else... including me.

Falling flat on my back in a sweaty locker room isn't how I planned to introduce myself to my grandpa's hockey team. Especially when I'm there to turn the business around financially—something nobody else in the stadium seems to want.

That's how I first meet Eli Salinger, the team's aggravatingly smooth player-turned-coach. From the moment I introduce myself to him, he makes it clear he doesn't want me there. It doesn't take a genius to work out why. Eli's only interested in one thing—turning the team into a winning side, no matter what it takes. And he's determined to fight every change I try to make.

What he doesn't know is that I've never taken on a project that hasn't succeeded. I'm not about to let this be the first. I don't care if he's grumpy and adorable in equal measure. Or that every time he looks at me, it sends me all a flutter. This is a game of wits. And there can be only one winner.

Strictly For Now is a standalone, steamy opposites-attract hockey romance featuring an over-40s hero, a strong professional heroine, and a love match that will make you smile and swoon.

Cringy banter

I understand it is t real life, but it was so off in places it really took me out of the story. “I just want someone to take me out to dinner….hint hint hint”
This is the third book I’ve read and the enemies become lovers without much reason in all of them, almost a fated mates situation. But a little more plot goes a long way.
