Description
Emile Giroux has vowed he will be everything his stepfather is not: cultured, charming, sophisticated, and—above all else—a rich, successful NHL star. One of the top goalies in the league, the French Canadian strives for more, still haunted by his troubled childhood.
Amy Callahan was a freelance professional organizer until an ambitious, domineering boyfriend took over her life and cleaned out her bank account. Once indispensable to the stars, Amy now finds herself with no money, no house, no phone, and nowhere to go.
When Emile finds Amy literally kicked to the curb, he seizes his latest chance to rescue a damsel in distress—only Amy doesn’t want to play that game. In fact, she’s determined to put men on ice in her life permanently. Can they find a way to let love win?

It has been a very long time that a story has evoked such strong heartfelt emotions as did Face Off. Emile had a genuineness to him that was so endearing. Often times he seemed almost childlike in his beliefs...because they were unblemished and completely unself-serving. He had a pureness of heart.
Emile and Amy were a perfectly suited pair whose desires to help each other came from a place of respect and caring. Though it took Emile a bit longer to come to terms with Amy's needs, he provided her with shelter from her storm without asking for anything in return...a rarity. It took Amy even longer to let herself be cared for again...both physically and emotionally.
When Emile achieved clarity and understanding about Amy's needs, it was priceless. Her accepting his gift of understanding brought me tears.
Any author who is able to pack this much emotion into one story and create such memorable characters is one I will put on my watch list.
This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and Netgally, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Just when you thought things were finally looking up and your boyfriend is paying attention to you that you're completely blindsided with abandonment. Amy had every single detail mapped out but nothing prepared her for meeting Emile. He was her knight in shining armor provided safe harbor. After learning her boyfriend Cameron had taken advantage of her Amy did what she could to survive. Not willing to make waves she wanted to everything in the past. The only thing is Emile will not stand blindly by and let Amy continue to suffer from her past.

Amy's boyfriend takes her on a day trip to a nearby town she has wanted to visit for quite some time. She thinks he is finally trying again after months of distance. Instead he abandons her there and steals all of her money and personal belongings. Emile is the goaltender of the local NHL team who swoops in wanting to save her. But Amy doesn't want to be saved. She just wants to move on.
I love hockey romances and am so excited to discover a series that is well written and engaging. The characters of Emile and Amy were were fleshed out and their conflict made sense. It was not just something thrown in to create tension. Honestly I liked everything about this book and will keep an eye out for the books in the series.
