Synopsis

When Colorado Penn finds an unexpected package on his front step, his life will be changed forever.

Colorado Penn is living the dream. Starting goalie for the Arizona Raptors when in season, lead singer for a hard rock band when summer rolls around. He’s the quintessential free spirit who’s making sure he enjoys all the carnal blessings of his athleticism, and gritty singing voice. Now the Raptors are moving into their first playoff appearance in years, but the arrival of an unexpected package means that hockey may have to take a backseat to something way more important. Instead of the usual undergarments from adoring fans, he finds a newborn baby with a small note tucked under her carrier, naming him as the father. He refuses to give up his daughter and is determined to be the kind of father he’d dreamed of having. But to keep Madeline, he’ll need help, and he’ll need it fast. Enter handsome emergency manny, Joseph. They may be opposites, but Colorado starts to see that Joseph’s stable, calm influence makes his chaotic lifestyle choices seem less appealing. There’s something about the man that soothes not only his infant daughter but also the wild child inside Colorado.

Joseph is one year away from getting his degree in planetary science, working cover shifts at the planetarium, and pulling in income with short term manny gigs. Stars collide as he provides emergency childcare for the wild man of hockey, a man who moves so fast through life that he doesn’t know how to stop. Homeless, and caring for his niece, Emma, fate brings Joseph into Colorado and baby Madeline’s life. Madeline is a sweetheart, and Colorado is trying his hardest to make the best decision for his baby girl. He offers his home and an indecent salary, to keep Joseph in his life until summer’s end. Colorado brings mysticism and metal to Joseph’s sanctuary of science, but somehow Joseph needs to tame this shooting star and create a family. Nothing in the contract said Joseph had to fall in love to make that happen, but when it’s time for him to leave, will the void in his heart ever heal, or will it remain as cold as space itself?

Review

Reviewed by ButtonsMom2003

This is such a good series!

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again – I am not a sports fan but I do love reading sports themed romance books. The hockey books written by RJ Scott and V.L. Locey are among my favorites. We met Colorado Penn in earlier books from this series. He’s been a bit of a wild guy character but that’s all about to change.

After a night of sexy shenanigans and a wild party at this house, Colorado is shocked to discover an infant on his doorstep. He doesn’t know it quite yet but his life will never be the same. Once he reads the note saying the baby is his he knows that he must take care of her and love her like his father never loved him.

Joseph enters the story with kind of a bang. He’s passionate about his job at the Tucson planetarium – maybe a bit too passionate. He gets into a dispute with a teacher and ends up losing his job. He really needs a job so he can continue helping to care for his sister and her five-year-old daughter. His next best option is to try and get a job as a many.

I loved everything about this story. I enjoyed watching Colorado go from his wild and crazy ways to being an over-protective father and a generous man who wants to support the person he is falling for. Joseph has to learn to accept help when it’s offered but it’s not easy for him.

There were a few surprises in this story that I didn’t anticipate and they made it all the more engaging to read. Colorado’s bodyguard, Simon, was a great secondary character as was his grandmother, Alchemy. If I were to say a lot more it would be too spoiler-y and I don’t want to do that. If you’ve been following this series, or if this is the first book you’ve picked up (it can stand alone), I think you will enjoy reading about Colorado and Joseph and the people they care for.
