NFL + Accidental Marriage Trope = Chelseas Curto’s latest book, “Power Play.”
I’ve only read one book by Curto before, “Caught on Camera,” and I devoured it. Suffice to say, I was excited to receive the arc for “Power Play.” Instead of the world of football like the last book I read of hers, this book takes place in the world of hockey. Who doesn’t like a hockey player?!
This book centers around our recently divorced FMC, Piper, and our hockey playing MMC, Liam as they enter into a sort of friends-with-benefits turned accidental marriage turned real L-O-V-E. Although Liam isn’t my favorite character ever, he has his moments and treats Piper like a queen, which I can’t help but admire.
There is a lot of different emotions that span throughout the book that make it a fun and real ride to embark upon. Plus, Curto’s writing is just so dang witty! It’s probably what I like most about her books is the ability to make me laugh out loud.
My Favorite Things From “Power Play”
- Piper’s group of friends were the supportive female friendships that we all need it our lives. Plus, some of their scenes together were just plain fun.
- There’s just something about the sports-themed romance books that I can’t help but love.
- I liked that Piper’s job was interconnected with the team, and that she kicked butt at her job in a male-dominated industry. Heck yes!
- THE SPICE. No need to say more about this, honestly because you’ll just have to read it for yourself. *Insert fire emojis here*
- The vulnerability from Piper and Liam was so real.
Overall, I’d give this book a solid 3.5 stars. If you’re into the hockey romance, which I know is the hot thing right now, then you’ll enjoy this book. It has heart; it has hockey; it has some amazing girl power and supportive gal pals; it has ALL THE SPICE.
PS: Piper’s ex-husband was literally the worst. THE WORST. She deserved so much better than him, and I feel like she got that with Liam.
