About this ebook

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale—where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter…

Vaughn:

I might be at the top of my game, but a fresh start feels like the right move at this stage of my career. Joining the Lauderdale Knights has been a great decision, and I’m ready to win this city over.

On opening night the crowd goes wild… and so does my slap shot. Knocking a fan unconscious wasn’t the introduction I envisioned. Especially when I lay eyes on my gorgeous victim. Problem is… she’s engaged.

Juliet:

Waking up with a concussion and amnesia has made me realize that when it comes to living life on my terms, it’s now or never. My big Italian family means well, but it’s time for them to stop calling the shots.

Now if I could just get rid of my fiancé, quit my job, and stop drooling over the hottie hockey player who knocked some sense into me, life would be perfect. Except nothing in my life is perfect… not even Lauderdale’s newest MVP.

Ratings and reviews

Slap Shot is the first book in the Lauderdale Knights series. I have enjoyed previous books by Ms. Mizera so I was really looking forward to this book. It was just as good if not better than what I expected! I loved the characters and the cute-meet of Vaughn and Juliet. It was refreshing and entertaining to read. It was wonderful watching Vaughn and Juliet connect and fall for each other. Juliet’s family was fascinating and provided plenty of laughs. I cannot wait for the next book in the series

What an amazing start to Kat Mizera’s new hockey series! “Slap Shot” is a fun, flirty and heartfelt about change and taking a chance on your future. Vaughn and Juliet were such fun characters to get to know and I loved their chemistry. The Lauderdale Knights are the real guys in town. On opening night, Vaughn hits a puck into the stands which ends up injuring a fan. When he goes to visit the fan in the hospital the next day, there he meets Juliet. Juliet takes this incident as a way to get a second chance and follow her own path, not the one her family wants. Vaughn and Juliet have an instant connection that neither was expecting but can’t deny. Vaughn was absolutely amazing and an instant favorite for me. He’s an amazing hockey player. He’s also soft spoken, confident and strong. Vaughn is a great teammate and a friend. Juliet was a breath of fresh air. After her initial injury, she found her backbone and spread her wings. Juliet spent her whole life doing what her family wanted and she put herself last. I loved reading about her finding her confidence and becoming who she was meant to me. I loved all the secondary characters we got to meet and I can’t wait to read their stories when they come out.

A new team, a new town. A new expansion team has come to Ft. Lauderdale and in their first game, hockey fan Juliet is knocked out by a flying puck. Hockey star Vaughn was the player that hit the puck and in the interest of good public relations, the team asks him to visit the woman that was in the hospital. Instant chemistry but Juliet has amnesia and mistakenly thinks he’s her fiance’. Great story with Juliet having to turn a page in her life — an overbearing Italian family that works together and thinks they know best for her, a lonely hockey player and both of them finding a new way. I loved the characters. Juliet really grew and changed. She took the chance to finally become herself and Vaughn, who was lonely found a family. Ups and downs and a great HEA. Looking forward to more from the Knights.
