Coasting by Elise FaberMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Elise Faber hits it in the net with Coasting (Gold Hockey #8). In this story, San Francisco Gold assistant coach Calle Stevens just discovered she is pregnant by her ex-boyfriend. Offense-man Cooper (Coop) Armstrong was there for her. Both have been attracted to each other for years but never acted on it. Cooper decides to put “Operation Out-Stubborn” into place and win her over. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult readers.
I like Calle. She is a former member of the women’s national hockey team. After an injury, she goes into coaching. She gets an amazing opportunity to coach in the NHL. She becomes pregnant by her ex. She decides to keep the baby. Coop is the first good guy to come into Calle’s life. All the others, including her dad, let her down. However, there is the issue that Calle is Coop’s coach. The situation that starts Calle's and Coop’s relationship was awkward and entertaining. I love the Cotton Candy/Snickers analogy. I appreciated the support within the team in various scenarios throughout the book. They are a family not just a team.
Coasting was skillfully written and heartwarming. The characters were faced with interesting challenges. Coop is a great guy. I love his persistence, protectiveness, and thoughtfulness. Coasting is a praiseworthy addition to the Gold Hockey series. Followers of the series will not be disappointed. I recommend this book to people who enjoy sports romances. I am looking forward to Liam’s story in the next book, Centered. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
