A new stand-alone hockey romance from USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen.
On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, sports agent Bess Beringer is ready to make some changes. Armed with a five-year plan—indexed and color coded—she’ll tackle her personal life with the same zeal that she brings to her successful agency.
A big, tall, ripped hunk of hockey player who’s just been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers is not a part of that plan. Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz has a lot of baggage. He’s a ride-or-die loner with a bad reputation. He’s on the rebound. He’s also the sexiest thing on two legs, and for some crazy reason it’s Bess that he wants.
She knows better. But then she falls stupid in love with him anyway. And for a while it seems like maybe he’ll do the same.
Until she asks him for the one thing he can never give her…
ARC received for an honest review
Bess Beringer is a lady whose story I have been wanting since we first met her - you remember, she is Dave's sister from Zara's story in the True North series (if you haven't read that series, get onto it, STAT!)
I love love love the Brooklyn Bruisers series, and I was absolutely thrilled to get an early copy of Sure Shot.
And in fact, except for my Nate, I think this is my favourite story in the Brooklyn/Bruisers series - at least to date!
And in fact, except for my Nate, I think this is my favourite story in the Brooklyn/Bruisers series - at least to date!
Bess is strong and fiesty and successful - and I want to be her friend!
Tank is a new trade coming out of a marriage, and not looking for anything more than resurrecting their fling from a decade ago - nothing could go wrong here right?
Oh my the longing looks across a crowded room, the sexual tension you could cut with a knife and he fun and flirty interactions
Gah, I just love everything about them and this book.
I have been mourning the lost of hockey season in 2020, so reading about my hockey hotties has to get me through this trying time, and the Bruisers are getting me there.
I loved seeing the other Bruisers and their significant others - though there was so much Becca and not my Nate hahah.
I love a second chance story, and absolutely adored Sure Shot.
Now, Ms Bowen - give me more.... please.
Bess & Tank!
Bess is a sports agent and friends/family with lots of Brooklyn hockey players and their wives and Tank is a newly traded Brooklyn player!
They had a little fling nine years ago and now they're both single and back in Brooklyn.
But Bess is looking for something serious. She wants the whole husband & baby thing.
And Tank - he's just got out of a not-so-happy marriage.
But why not spend some happy moments together while Bess is looking for her happily ever after, right???
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!!!!! ☺
Such an adorable story!
I'm not really a hockey fan - but I just adore everything Sarina writes!
And this book was just so sweet and fun and Brooklyn-ish and hockey-ish!
A really adorable second-chance love story full of sparks and sexy times and friends and family.
Of course not everything is all happy-happy-fun-fun. We have some serious parts too. Why did Tank's marriage not work out? Why does he not want something serious with Bess? What will happen with those two??? Ugh. I just wanted to fast-forward to their happy end. But of course I adored every single page of their journey!
Great romance!
Also ... why hasn't Netflix knocked on Sarina's door yet??
Does it already have an amazingly funny and sexy Hockey Romance series? NO, it does not!
SURE SHOT was a super adorable + fun + sexy second-chance Hockey Romance!!! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Tank - this one is MINE!

Tank:
Did you SEE that beautiful goal???
Bess:
Yes baby. That’s why I sent you a text last night that said NICE GOAL BABY in
shouty caps. Didn’t it come through?
Tank:
It came through. But I just wanted to talk about it some more. Because did you
SEE that beautiful goal? When Castro accidentally passed to nowhere but I got
my stick on it anyway? And before you could say TANK IS A STUD, I put it in?
Bess:
Gorgeous goal, hot stuff! I may have spilled my beer I was so excited.
Tank:
Where did you spill it?
Bess:
All over my naked breasts.
Tank:
Really?
Bess:
No. But the purpose of this conversation is stroking your ego, right? So I
thought I’d just roll with it.
Tank:
LOL! I’ll take it.
Bess:
:)
Tank:
You were right, by the way. After the game, Castro told me I had to get the
Brooklyn Bridge tattooed across my ass.
Bess:
Well that’s a good sign. If they’re pranking you it means they like you now.
Tank:
I got a goal. They like that at least.
Bess:
What did you tell Castro about the tattoo?
Tank:
I said, sure, buddy!
Tank:
And, get this, I told him that if we connect on ten goals this season—in either
direction—not only will I put the bridge on one ass cheek, I’ll put his face on
the other.
Bess:
OMG. What did he say to that?
Tank:
“Let’s not get carried away.” Honestly he looked terrified, which was the
point. I told him I was just crazy enough to do it. And then I wondered aloud
what the blogs would write about that.
Bess:
You are an evil man.
Tank:
Never bullshit a bullshitter. But enough about me. Let’s talk about you.
Specifically, I need to know if you’re naked right now. Please say yes.
Bess:
I’m sitting in my office waiting for a conference call. So that would be no.
Tank:
Lie to me, baby! I miss you.
Bess:
There’s no need to lie. The next time we’re in the same zip code again, you can
make your dreams come true.
Tank:
Now there’s a plan I can get behind. Literally.
Bess:
Indeed. Got to go now! Call starts in two minutes.
Tank:
One more thing, hot stuff. Have you seen Henry again? I keep leaving
voicemails, asking when I can visit. He texts me back, but I can’t get a phone
call. I just want to talk to the old codger.
Bess:
Same. I sent him a present but when I asked to visit he shot me down. Now go
beat Florida.
Tank:
Maybe you should send me a few motivational photographs to improve my game.
Bess:
A good workout followed by a protein drink and then a nap would improve it
more.
Tank:
Says you.
