Pulling the Goalie by Lasairiona E. McMasterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lasairiona E. McMaster gets a shutout with PULLING THE GOALIE (Cedar Rapids Raccoons #2). Eloise Downing and Ares de la Peña are opposites. Eloise is a shy and studious nursing student who likes to hide in the shadows. Ares is an in the spotlight hockey goalie, stripper, bisexual party boy. However, they both have scars; Eloise on the outside and Ares on the inside.
Lasairiona E. McMaster does an amazing job with this story. The characters have deep dimensions. There is so much more to them than what the casual observer would see. I really enjoyed Ares's character. He was different than most hockey heroes. I love his pets. He has interesting viewpoints. He has flaws. He has owned up to things he has done in the past.
PULLING THE GOALIE is a thought-provoking and heartwarming read. It is skillfully written and a perfect addition to the Cedar Rapids Raccoons series. It ends in a cliff hanger. I’m anxiously awaiting book three, CRASHING THE NET. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
