He’s an infamous bad boy hockey player who's never had to work harder than breaking out a grin to get a girl. She’s an RN whose all feminine beauty but grew up with brothers and can hold her own both on and off the ice. She’s not one to put up with shenanigans, so she’s out of her element when she finds herself attracted to him. And with his lousy habit to “love the one you’re with,” things really get interesting when he finally falls and can’t be with the one he loves.

The backdrop of a professional hockey team and the secondary characters are enough to grab my interest, but the relationship between Dallas and Callie is great - a little sweet, a lot hilarious and super steamy. She doesn’t fall at his feet but makes him really work to be with her, and that’s after she gave him a black eye! The interplay between Callie’s brothers and Dallas make things even more interesting, as does the hint of history between Callie’s cousin, Maddox and Dallas’s sister, Lacey. (Can’t wait for that story!) The main characters are complex, believable and well developed and I couldn’t help loving them and cheering for them to get together and stay together. I was fortunate to get an ARC copy to read in exchange for an honest review but I enjoyed this one enough that I’ll buy the book and read it again. It would be a terrific beach or vacation read with a happily ever after you’ll remember long after the last page.

Dallas Easton- comes off a jerk, hot headed hockey player, serial manhoe.

Callie Davis- RN ER nurse, sister to 3 brothers on the hockey team. Sweet feisty loyal.

This story didn't start how I thought it would honestly. Not a bad setup though, Dallas meets Callie officially after he almost punches her. And then its pretty much insta love on his end he has to track her down to apologize and instantly he wants to prove to her hes not a complete jerk. Callie in turn tests him and pulls pranks seeing if hell follow through he does and they hook up. Will they last? Will Dallas ruin everything? And what about that reality show hes signed up for? Hows that gonna effect the couple?

I give this 3 1/2 stars..

Yet another page turned from the queen of romantic-suspense.

Blocked is on of LP Dover's lighter reads but I still found it to be wonderfully engaging. As always this was a one sitting read, I couldn't put it down.

Blocked by LP Dover was a great contemporary romance novel filled with witty conversation, smoking hot hockey players and forbidden romance. What else can you ask for? Perhaps more depth in the hero and a bit more back bone for the heroine. I liked this book, yet another book could fill in for many aspects, wishing it had more depth to the characters and story line. A good amount of heat, chemistry, love, and plot line if slightly annoying at times. I appreciate the opportunity to read the book and Thank Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

I love love love sports romance and hockey romance is my favourite, hence I really enjoyed Blocked, which followed cocky manwhore NHL goalie Dallas Easton and kind gentle ER and surgical nurse Callie Davis. Told in dual POV we meet Dallas at an after hockey party just before he gets smashed over the head with a bottle, who comes to his rescue? Yes you've guessed it, sister of one of his team mates (team enemies if you will), Callie. After running into each other a few more times, Dallas is in complete and utter lust and Callie is in the,'I don't play with players' zone. Some funny moments some sexy moments, and of course some cringeworthy moments. Light easy predictable story. I'm looking forward to future stories in the series and I'm hoping for Maddox's story next.
I'm received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So many great characters!!! I honestly can't pick a favorite. And I'm left wanting more!!! Who will be next? Jason or Maddox??? I hope it's Maddox!!!! I want to know what Callie was shown!!

Okay now this book, when we first meet Dallas, I will admit that I didn't think I was going to like him. But that quickly changed.

I loved Callie. And is it horrible that I wish she had held out a little longer?? Maybe a tutu next time instead of a bikini???

And we have Jason and Maddox. I have to wonder what Jason is really like since we don't get to see him outside of hockey and home. And he is so good to his sister. Maddox I want next!!!! I think he's a softy! We just have to wait to see it.

I enjoy reading this book. I read some reviews previous to start reading and their are hard and make me a little nervous about this book. But as soon I begin reading that change. The story is really good; characters are interesting and the writing is fresh. Can't wait to start the next book.
I received an ARC from Netgalley for a honest review.

Dallas is the goaltender for his professional hockey team, while practicing with fellow teammates and friends he comes up against someone who actually gets a puck past him. What he doesn't realize is that the person is a girl, who is also the sister of one of his teammates. Unfortunately for him, his teammate doesn't like him and Dallas has to keep his relationship a secret in the beginning.

This book was a great read. It is also part of a series but could be read as a standalone.

Easton loved his life ice hockey was his passion but he loved his single life
The more woman he had the better he loved his bachelor ways.
He loved it so much he signed up to appear on a dating reality show rich and single he couldn't wait

Callie loved her brothers never missing a hockey game she loved to show her support going to her first after party she never though she would be helping the one and only bad boy Easton

As time passes and the more time they see each other will they be able to fight there feelings for each other or will fate step in and stop them.

This book was just okay for me. I did like the first one in the series a little more and so I was excited to read this one. But it just fell flat. and it was VERY predictable.

overall an ok read

Dallas Easton was the best. The only problem was he knew he was the best and let nothing stand in his way from getting what he wants. After a practice session someone scores twice on him. Two goals were inconceivable as he took it in his hands to stop them anyway possible. The only problem it was a girl that captivated him with a single glance. Callie Davis was everything he never knew he wanted and everything he needed.

Not having read any of this author's previous books, I was pleasantly surprised at the depth, warmth, and personality Ms Dover has projected into her characters. I can't remember having read a sports story that evoked as many emotions as this one did.

I can honestly say that I had so much fun reading Dallas and Callie's story. There were many times I went from an intense, hearts stopping emotional response to laughing in a matter of sentences. There were numerous times that Dallas made me laugh out loud. The antics of the players were hilarious as well as emotionally evoking. The game action was gripping and believable, the locker room turmoil was intense with so much more action thrown in outside of the rink.

I could not put the book down and read it in one sitting. I truly hope that there is another book after this one that gives Maddox and Lacey a chance at their own HEA.

This ARC book was a complimentary copy provided by the Publisher and Netgally, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Good read, love stories where the heroine can hang with the boys without becoming one of the boys. Dallas was a good alpha male, he was tough with the boys but a big softie with Callie and she knew how to keep him in his place. The story was well written making it a very enjoyable read.

Wow, I loved the story even though I was very often tempted to kick Dallas' behind.
I get it that hockey is tough and aggressive and so on, really, but seriously, this guy has some problems - and he'd do well with some anger management classes. Apart from his agressive behaviour I loved to see him fight for Callie's love.

Both of them are very honest in their reactions and I really like the fact that they don't play games. Dallas makes mistakes but once he has decided on a course, he stays true to it. Reading about his interactions with kids and, of course, with Callie, goes a long way to redeem him in my eyes. The chemistry between the Callie and Dallas is great, you can feel that she falls for him - even though it's the last thing she really wants.
You see, it's not just that he behaves like a neanderthal when she meets him, nope, that just tops it off but the fact that her brother hates him, well, that doesn't make it easy for him to win her and convince her that he could be the one.
Will he be stubborn and persistent enough to get Callie to go on a date with him?

I laughed a lot and I liked the characters on the whole but I must admit that Dallas' behaviour, blowing up the way he does as often as he does, left me a bit at a loss because I wouldn't want any friend of mine date someone that volatile. Dallas and Callie together are very sweet and I don't think that he would hurt her but...well.
All in all I really enjoyed reading this book and I'm definitely looking forward to the other books in the series.

Slow and predictable, but otherwise enjoyable read

Blocked is a Hockey Themed Romance and overall an enjoyable read. The story was somewhat predictable (bad boy hockey player woos the sweet girl), however, I still enjoyed it. It was a nice fun read with a minimal angst and drama and a great way to lose yourself for a couple of hours. This story certainly has the feel good factor.

Well after a good game and win they used to play "Another One Bites The Dust" and I feel that is appropriate here for Dallas Eaton because he won Callie Davis and his single life bit the dust. Boy did she ever score on him and in him over! Loved this story of protective brothers, locker room angst and love finding it's place amongst the one most likely to fall and the one most likely not to be able to trust a playboy.

So many scenes were just simply adorable and romantic or tough and sexy. Love L.P. Dover's writing and this series is a score!

Can't wait for the next one!

Dallas and Callie start out on the right foot in this story and quickly captured my heart. I loved the lengths that Dallas went to earn Callie's trust and show that he was finally serious about something/someone. The interactions and angst with Callie's brothers was well done but not over the top. Sadly, even though this book had several good qualities there were a lot of things that just didn't work for me. First and foremost, the whole situation in the beginning with Dallas almost hitting Callie for messing with him on the ice was just not done well enough. Callie's brothers are the ones that brought her out on the ice and there was no way that Dallas could have known it was a girl under all the pads and jersey. Then she starts throwing cheap shots at him and the brothers didn't think that Dallas was going to react?!?! Then when he DOES finally have enough of her games he trips her and goes to hit her but realizes it is a girl and DOESN'T hit her but the brothers still freak out and make it seem like he is some woman abuser that Callie needs protection from. The brothers are the ones who put her in a bad position to begin with and then are mad that she was almost in danger??? Things did pick up after that and I enjoyed the play between Dallas and Callie and watching their chemistry take over. I would have liked for there to be more angst int his book. Things just kind of go on in a hum drum kind of way for a while when you can clearly see what is going to happen to break these two up. It was so glaringly obvious that I started to lose interest knowing what was inevitably coming. I enjoyed the push and pull of Dallas trying to get Callie back at the end but then once he does win her back there are several more chapters at the end of the book that were just not needed at all. It was just kind of character filler and then that was it. We didn't need any of that and it kind of took away from the ending of the book. Overall, not my favorite by this author but had a few redeeming qualities thrown in.

Hmm. Okay, it's a romance: sporty (jock) who sleeps around, falls instantly for a woman and he changes his ways completely. I like books like that, but this one just didn't ring well.

He gets angry very quickly, but apparently that's because hockey players do that.

He agrees to do a reality show where he has to pick 1 woman out of 10, as though he's shopping, and thinks he's the luckiest guy on earth.

At their first meting she digs glass out of his head - he's been fighting the boyfriend of the woman he was about to have sex with; I do believe he's fully exposed.
At their second meeting he tries to punch her in the face (one gets angry playing hockey, apparently).

She's 26 years old and living with her brothers (nothing wrong with that) but she has to tell them where she is: 'I was going to have a hell of a time explaining where I was to my brothers.'

She makes him do 'things' (tests him) to prove himself and convince her he has changed his ways, except I couldn't see how the tests she gave him proved anything of the sort.

It was cute, but with a lot of silly situations.
