Description
A hockey player and former figure skater get a second chance at love in this hot sports romance from a USA Today bestselling author, perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Elle Kennedy, and Grace Reilly.
Zoe Carson, former figure skating queen, needs a fresh start as a hockey skating coach. An NHL gig with the New York Legends is her big chance. Unfortunately, that means facing off against the star player who broke her heart ten years ago.
Chase Merritt knows his game is off, and he’s on the verge of losing sponsors. But he doesn’t need the ice princess from that intense college summer showing up and telling him what he’s doing wrong—even when she’s right.
On the ice, they’re magic. Off the ice, they’re nothing but heat and stubbornness, and everyone on the team is enjoying the show. But when an old video of Zoe and Chase’s figure skating routine goes viral, they’re forced to work together more intimately than ever before. Can the two get it right this time or will the whole world watch them crash and burn?

Thrown for a Loop is a great second chance hockey romance. With a huge dose of figure skating, along with an amazing new hockey team to obsess over, Sarina Bowen again proves she’s the queen of hockey romance.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Figure skater Zoe Carson and hockey player Chase Merritt met at a skating camp ten years ago, where their relationship crashed and burned, and they never spoke again. Until Zoe is hired as a new skating coach for professional hockey’s Legends, which happens to be Chase’s current team. With Chase struggling with his skating, and Zoe trying to make a professional name for herself, and can they put their romantic past aside? But once an old video of the two of them skating together goes viral, and the team’s PR guru calls for them to reenact the routine for charity, it becomes impossible for them to avoid each other.
I love Zoe as the team’s first woman coach, and the challenges she faces. Usually second chance romance is a hard sell for me, but in this case the dynamic between Chase and Zoe is realistic and well done. This story is told through Zoe’s POV in the present and Chase’s in the past. It makes sense for this story, but I would have loved Chase’s present POV too.
Subtly set in Bowen’s hockey universe, the Legends are a brand new team with great characters and a wonderful found family vibe. While there are a few welcome cameos, including my all time favorite player agent, this is clearly a new series and a great place to start if you’re a new Sarina Bowen reader.
As a longtime Sarina Bowen fan, I always think a new book from her is a treat. Thrown for a Loop is wonderful second chance hockey romance, and I can’t wait to see what’s up next for this new Legends hockey team.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
