Publisher's summary

Mike Stewart is a bad boy.

Sleeping around. Boozing. Fighting with teammates. Name a bad behavior and he’s done it - done it so well, in fact, that he almost tanked his career as a starting defense man for the NHL’s San Francisco Gold.

But Mike is done with all that. He’s starting with a fresh foot forward and putting his past behind him. That is, until his past quite literally reappears before his eyes.

Sara Jetty is just as beautiful as she was a decade before, but Mike hasn’t seen her since she left for the biggest winter international competition and scored a gold medal in women’s figure skating. Now something has put shadows in her eyes, a familiar type of hurt he is all too well versed in. This Sara wants nothing to do with him. Their easy friendship is gone and in its place is a hardened woman who’s nothing like the girl from his past.

Still, Mike hasn’t become a top defensemen in the NHL by being afraid of hard work, and he isn’t about to let Sara push him away. Come hell or high water, he’s going to crack her tough outer shell and find the sweet, innocent woman he’s lusted after and loved, in equal measure, for more than 10 years.

I've read this book before I liked it then. Listening to it after listening to Blocked I loved it even more since I loved Brit and Stefan (the couple from Blocked) who are secondary characters in Backhand, If you read Blocked first, then you see Mike starting his redemption and this is his story. Emotional, suspenseful, and funny, Backhand has it all and is a a great addition to hockey romance.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obession. This is my hones and voluntary review.

Hockey Romance - Second Book

This is my favorite of the three Gold Hockey books I've listened to so far. Mike and Sara's story just pulled me in and kept me engaged from the beginning. I loved how their romance played out. I look forward to the next book!

Gregory Salinas and Lacy Laurel, once again, were excellent narrators. The have great voices that keep the story running through your head like a movie.

loved it

Sara and Mike were childhood friends. Both would go to the ice rink daily. Mike for hockey, Sarah for ice skating. Both achieved their goals , Sarah an Olympic Skater and Mike plays professional hockey. Until a scandal forced Sarah from the Olympics. 10 years later, he saw Sara. Mike could never forget the young happy girl he was with daily. But she was different now from the young girl he knew and loved. What happened to her? Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas show the love and emotions in this story. I enjoyed listening to this story.
