Shootout: A Seattle Sockeyes Novel by Jami DavenportMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jami Davenport gets a win with SHOOTOUT (Scoring #9). In this story, Jessie Wilder just accepted a job as a player development coach for the Seattle Sockeyes youth program. Simultaneously, Banks Slater has been traded to the Seattle Sockeyes, a team whose players and fans despise him. To make matters worse, he is separated from his twin brother for the first time in his career. When Banks and Jessie initial meet, let’s just say they get off to a rocky start.
Oh and did I mention, Jessie’s brother is Seattle Sockeye defenseman, Jason Wilder; the person on the team that probably hates Banks the most. When Jason gets overprotective and growly about Jessie to Banks, her competitive streak comes out. The next thing you know, Jessie and Banks are in a fake relationship to tick her brother off.
Jami Davenport does a fantastic job with this story. It is entertaining and it covers some interesting issues, like Jessie’s battles in a male-dominated field. The story is skillfully written. I love the characters. It had me laughing and smiling. SHOOTOUT is an excellent addition to the Scoring series. I am looking forward to Vick’s story, MISCONDUCT. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
