A delectable face-off where the winner takes all. Ryan and Chloe had so much electricity the aftershocks strengthened the blaze. Chloe is just like me, if you try to force her into a corner she is going to come out swinging. Ryan wants to do more than spar with Chloe. He is looking for an outlet for his frustration, uncertainty and something that will make him feel alive again. I received an ARC of Once Upon a Play in exchange for an honest review. Explosive chemistry, passionate characters and heated storytelling, all the makings of a memorable read. ( )

Chloe Jacobs is unlucky in love! And this latest stand up is truly the last straw! She is done with men!! After one disappointment after another, she was calling it a day with all men! Especially jocks!

Ryan Douglas looks like he has it all! As the captain of the NY Rangers, really! What problems could he have! A lot actually! After a blade cut deeply into his leg which led to missing more than 40 games, oh and to top that, his then girlfriend left him as soon as he was injured….yeah he’s so lucky

But then fate steps in and Ryan and Chloe meet in such unusual circumstances…a hold up at a convenience store, one in which Chloe literally knocks the perp out! And it leads to a hot and steamy night between these two; one that Chloe thinks is a one night stand! But nope, that doesn't happen either.

After a few bumps in the road, Ryan and Chloe start something great together, until an ex comes between them and destroys everything…and you are left wondering if this is finally it!!!

So I am going to be completely honest about the 2 reasons why I chose this book. 1, it's a hockey romance and I am TOTALLY in love with those right now!!!! And 2, the author lives in the town next to mine!!! So I had to show some Central Pennsylvania love there, and although I would normally recommend that you all read the reviews and blurb before reading the book, I went with my heart and I am super excited to say that I chose right!!!

This book was such a joy to read from the moment I swiped the page! I loved the characters, story line and the actual flow was perfect. I will say that I hope that Bash gets his own book, because man! He deserves it. This book really grips you and keeps you sucked in till the last page and I have read this story at least 10 times since it hit my kindle!

So what it comes down to in the end score and that is really a no brainier! Because I give Once Upon A Power Play 10 out of 10 and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

"5 out of 5 stars!! On the night that Chloe decides on giving up on dating and men, she meets Ryan (a pro-hockey player) at a grocery store and gets into a fight with him over a lime. What starts as arrogance on both their parts leads to protection when they get into an unexpected situation, than they find themselves fueled by more lust for one another then they ever expected. Yet as their lives unintentionally become thrown together, they get into a relationship where they’ll have to decide if they are willing to overcome their preconceived notions and fall for one another for good, or if they’ll have their past relationship hurts dictate what their future will hold.

I know the words I’m about to use do not really sound right together BUT they describe this novel to a T … as it was Erotically Adorable! *hehee* Basically..."

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.
