My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Take The Shot (Philadelphia Bulldogs #1) is the debut novel by Danica Flynn. In this story, widow Dinah Lace and NHL player Noah Kennedy are best friends who begin to act on their feeling for one another. There are several issues that the couple face in the story, including an eight-year age gap and guilt for moving on.
A couple of times I felt the story dragged repeating the same stuff. For example, concussions seemed to be mentioned a lot with no real relevance. It felt like it was thrown in to make the book longer. There were only two scenes that it seemed applicable. It bothered me that Dinah often treated Noah like he was younger than her (which he was), but it felt wrong. They were best friends for two years, so I feel like she should be treating him like an adult and not a kid. That did let up toward the end of the book. Noah is a sweet guy and a good friend.
The plot had merit. There were well done scenes. I think the author, and series have a lot of potential. I would like to hear the story of the other characters in this book. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
