Blurb:
Grizz McAvoy is the most electrifying player in professional hockey…and the most volatile. He’s got a wicked shot, a hair-trigger temper, and spent his childhood surviving his father’s cruelty. Off the ice, he’s a PR catastrophe, racking up fines, burning through handlers, and daring the New York Vipers organization to do something about it. He’s built his entire identity around one principle: winning solves everything.
But winning can’t silence the past trauma that haunts him when the arena lights go dark.
Daisy Turner was fired from a top style magazine for asking questions powerful men didn’t want to answer and exposing hypocrisy in the world of high-fashion. She’s looking to salvage her career as a journalist by scraping together a second chance as Grizz’s new media handler. Fearless in her own right, she carries scars from a betrayal that taught her trust is a currency she can’t afford to spend freely.
From their first combustible meeting, Grizz and Daisy collide in a battle of wills neither is prepared to lose. She challenges him, and he can’t look away. What begins as mutual provocation becomes far more dangerous when the walls between professional and personal start to crumble, and the wreckage of Grizz’s past threatens to destroy the one person brave enough to see through his rock-solid armor.
Grizz is a scorching, emotionally charged hockey romance about two people who were never supposed to fall for each other, and the bruising, tender, inevitable collision that happens when they do.

💚Review💚
The emotional scars of Grizz’s past continue to impact his behavior in the present which has drawn the attention of the team and left him with a less than stellar reputation. When Daisy is hired to help the team with PR she is unlike anyone he has never met as although she pushes when necessary she also gives him a sense of peace that has been missing from his life.
When Daisy found herself unemployed her best friend managed to secure her a position with her uncle’s hockey team. Even though the fashion industry is very different from hockey she quickly adapts to what is needed. When it comes to Grizz she realizes that there is a lot more to the abrasive hockey player that everyone sees but she soon realizes the emotional scars of his past are far from healed.
One of the most important aspects of the story was the way that Daisy got to know Grizz and how she tried to support him with every challenge he faced. Their journey wasn’t easy but the outcome made it all worthwhile. The audio performance had Lucy Rivers portraying Daisy exactly how you picture her while Lance Greenfield brings out how Grizz has closed himself off to everyone except for Daisy and his sister.
