New Release: Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen + Review!











Overnight Sensation
by Sarina Bowen


Everyone knows the girl is off limits. But it's so good to be bad.

There's this girl...
Heidi and I have been trading hungry looks all year, and everything she does makes me smile. But I don't do girlfriends, and I certainly can't get involved with the league commissioner's daughter. I need shots on goal, not a hookup and a widely misunderstood paparazzi photo.
Can I resist her, though? The way she teases me should be a game penalty for interference with my libido. 

There's this guy...
Jason wants me, but he won't admit it. That man looks at me the way a hockey player eyes the lunch buffet after practice--and I love it. 
But when victory is finally within my grasp, I blow it and humiliate myself. Even then I can't even avoid him--as the team intern, I'm in constant view of his hard body and cocky smile. 
I need another chance. Jason Castro is about to learn the true meaning of an overnight sensation.

REVIEW:

3.5-3.75 stars
****


This was a pretty good book. Overnight Sensation is Jason and Heidi's story. Jason is a pro hockey player for the Brooklyn Bruisers. Heidi is an intern for the team, but unbeknownst to Jason, she also the hockey commissioners daughter. She is trying to break free from her family and find her own place, quitting college and moving out on her own. The two have been attracted to each other and they almost hookup, but then Jason finds out who her father is and decides he can't go there. He is not a relationship guy and doesn't want to go there with Heidi.  But she wants Jason and pursues him. They become friends, which leads to more, and they fall in love. 

I liked the story and the book in general. I liked Heidi and Jason. I didn't love that she was the main pursuer in the relationship, but I did like her pluckiness, hard work and positive attitude. I understood why Jason was the way he was, because of his past ( <spoiler> his high school girlfriend died and it messed him up. </spoiler> ), but I felt a little frustrated with him for pushing Heidi away and not realizing how great she was. Once he got his head out, I did feel like the conflict wrapped up a little too close to the end and a little too easily. I didn't feel they were 100% completely in love yet by the end. Still, I was entertained by this book and it kept my attention. I was happy that Jason and Heidi found each other, fell in love and got their HEA. 

Overall, I enjoyed this book, even if it was a "like it" and not a "love it". I really enjoy this series as well as everything Ms. Bowen writes. I look forward to more from her in the future!
