    About this ebook

    Sidelined by a potentially career-ending injury, the only thing hockey player Ryan Douglas should be thinking about is his recovery. But after sharing a near death experience with a spunky brunette, the only thing on his mind is five and a half feet of sexy sarcasm. And he’ll do whatever it takes to get her back in his bed—even if it means playing dirty.

    Chloe Jacobs is done with fairytales. And men. She’s kissed her share of frogs and what’s it gotten her? Dumped by text—again. The last thing she needs is a pushy, arrogant hockey player testing her resolve. Especially one who’s sinfully good with his hands and thinks date-by-blackmail is a perfectly acceptable social convention.

    Ryan wants to play games? Fine by her, but this is one faceoff he’s going to lose.

    Each book in the Risky Business series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

      Once I started reading this story, I could not stop. I loved it! It is well written with a lot of sass and many steamy moments. I love that it revolves around hockey as well. The characters are well developed, likable and easy to relate to. Their chemistry is amazing and Ryan is hot! A must read.This was my first time reading one of Ms. Bonds' books and I look forward to reading more. I love her writing style and mixture of humor, suspense and romance.ARC received from Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

      Ryan Douglas and Chloe Jacobs met at the local grocery store and share a life-threatening experience. Chloe has sworn off men; however, Ryan throws down the gloves in a fight to pursue her.Once Upon a Power Play is an exciting and fast-paced victory for Jennifer Bonds.Ryan is a great hero. He is recovering from a potential career-ending injury, and his girlfriend of six years dumped him. Needless to say, his confidence has taken a hit. He is tenacious, charming, and a fighter. He is a good leader and person. I like that he appreciated being normal.Chloe has had her share of failed relationships, thus the reason for swearing off men - good thing Ryan is persistent. She is stubborn, sarcastic, feisty, and encouraging. She also gives good advice (read Ryan’s first practice back after his injury).I enjoyed the plot, Once Upon a Power Play is an endearing story that is believable. I like how their lives intertwined. I love how Ryan and Chloe met. I adored the epilogue. It is a great story for anyone who enjoys contemporary sports romances.Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
