About this ebook

I’ve sworn off hockey players. Until the pregnancy test turns pink.

Noah Scotch is revered in Boston, a veritable god on the ice. I’m a nerdy, newly minted college professor who would rather color code my planner than hit the club scene. Noah shouldn’t look at me twice but when he does, I falter. 

Who can blame me? 

The sweet talker with the deliciously chiseled abs and sinful chocolate eyes is a force. On and off the ice. One hot and intense night with Noah has me second guessing my lack of a dating life. 

Friends with benefits? He offers, I dive in headfirst. Growing up in a hockey family, I know better than to get serious with a player. 

But the more time I spend getting to know Noah, the more my intention to keep things casual rings false. 

Now, I’ve got a hopeful heart and a baby on the way. 

I just need to tell Noah. But when I do, will I end up with everything I never knew I wanted? Or on my own?

Ratings and reviews

This is the first book I have read by Gina Azzi but it certainly won’t be the last because I loved everything about Indy and Noah’s story, and The Sweet Talker ( Boston Hawks Hockey #1) ticked all my boxes. Hockey romance is one of my favourite genres and I’m excited for the rest of this series, I also certainly need to check out other works by this very talented author. Indy has recently moved to Boston to take up a job as a College professor, she comes from a close knit family but she is the odd girl on preferring books to hockey. Her father is hockey royalty and her cousin Austin plays for the Boston Hawks along side his best friend Noah who also grew up with Indy. Indy has certainly grown up since Noah saw her last and he suddenly finds himself attracted to this stunning woman who should be off limits for so many reasons....... A few drinks turn into a night of passion but will one night be enough for this couple and will Indy be prepared to have a casual relationship with the man she suddenly realises has become more than a friend and certainly more than a booty call...... This couple are adorable together, the chemistry is sizzling and the banter is witty but it’s the emotions and the family loyalty that took this book to another level for me. I fell hard and fast for Noah even when he was trying to do the right thing by letting Indy go, I still adored him, I also loved the loyalty and compassion he has for his brother East and his teammates. I adored all the characters in this book and I can’t wait for book 2 . I guess all I need to say is please one click this gem.

A new series by Gina Azzi?!? Sign me up and I am so glad I did! This is the first book in a new series based on the fictional Boston Hawks hockey team. This is the story of Noah and Indiana. Indiana is a gal with a plan. She has landed her dream job, moved to a new city and is looking for a fresh start. Her heart was broken in the past and she is even more focused on her career than anything else. I admire how she is trying hard to break out of the all work and no play bubble she finds herself in. Noah is a hockey player, he is best friends with Indiana's cousin and has grown up around Indiana's family. Her family is the soft place for him and his brother to fall. When he sees Indiana again after a long time, well the sparks start flying. I loved how they both seemed to be OK with the relationship they started with, but we know that it's gonna be more. I like how Indy sets Noah back on his heels quite a few times with her no nonsense attitude. Add a surprise pregnancy to the mix and you get a fantastic story with sweetness and just a touch of angst. The story just flows from the pages and it was hard to put down once I started. I am so excited to see the next stories in this series!

4 Star Review The Sweet Talker (Boston Hawks Hockey #1) by Gina Azzi Gina Azzi is a relatively new author to me and I have no idea why that is the case. The Sweet Talker was an entertaining book that I was fully invested in from the start. Agreeing to go out with her cousin Claire, Indy has no idea how that one decision will change her life and not only her life, but that of Noah, a player for the Boston Hawks hockey team. Indy has been focused on her career as a college professor for a long time and has had little or no time for socializing. All that changes when she and Claire attend a party with Claire's brother where she meets his teammates from the Boston Hawks. When Claire has to leave early, Noah offers to take Indy home and before you know it they have a passionate encounter. The chemistry between Indy and Noah is intense and instead of diminishing it seems to increase the more they are around one another. When Noah suggests that they enter into a “friends with benefits” arrangement, Indy agrees. However night’s of passion can cause complications and Indy soon finds out how complicated her life is about to become. What will happen when secrets are revealed? Will it bring Indy and Noah closer together or rip them apart? One click and find out.
