Valerie Michaels knows all about life, responsibility--and hockey. After all, her brother is a defenseman for the Baltimore Banners. The last thing she needs--or wants--is to get tangled up with one of her brother's teammates. She doesn't have time, not when running The Maypole is her top priority. She opened the popular sports bar and restaurant two years ago and has been busy ever since. Maybe too busy. Could that be the reason she's suddenly drawn to the troubled Justin Tome? Or is it because she senses something deeper inside him, something she thinks she can fix? On the surface, Justin Tome has it all: a successful career with the Banners, money, fame. But he's been on a downward spiral the last few months. He's become more withdrawn, his game has gone downhill, and he's been partying too much. He thinks it's nothing more than what's expected of him, nothing more than once again failing to meet expectations and never quite measuring up. Then he starts dating Val and realizes that maybe he has more to offer than he thinks. Or does he? Sometimes voices from the past, voices you've heard all your life, are too strong to overcome. And when the unexpected happens, Justin is certain he's looking at a permanent Delay of Game--unless one strong woman can make him see that life is all about the future, not the past.… (meer)

I loved Lisa B. Kamps’s Delay of Game. It is a wonderful addition to the Baltimore Banners Series. NHL player Justin Tome has been failing to measure up. The last thing he should do is get involved with his teammate's sister, Valerie Michaels. This contemporary hockey romance is suitable for new adult and adult audiences.

My son plays hockey and his name is Justin, so I had a little spot in my heart for Justin Tome right away. Plus, he used to wear the same jersey number, 90. Grant it other than that, they are nothing alike. Justin Tome has had a hard life. His mom dies when he was young, and his dad is …evil…a jerk…pond scum; you get the idea. My heart went out to Justin, the abuse he endured is tragic. It was no wonder he felt so little self-worth. Val has the perfect personality for Justin. She is tough. She doesn’t pity him. She cares about him and wants to help him. I like that she does not let her brother’s opinion sway her out of dating Justin. They have great chemistry. They have numerous obstacles to overcome. The hockey scenes are well described. I enjoy the team dynamics and comradery. I enjoyed the plot. The story had unexpected situations and felt well resolved. I love the ending. Lisa B. Kamps has continued to do a wonderful job with the Baltimore Banners Series. I look forward to her next book.
