Kenny Haskell's hard work and determination finally paid off last season when The Baltimore Banners called him up from the minors. That doesn't mean the quiet defenseman is willing to stop proving himself. Each day is a new fight, a new opportunity, to prove to his coaches, to his team-and to himself-that he belongs with the Banners. Kenny is convinced he'll be able to keep his head in the game with no problems-until he gets thrown out of a youth hockey game by one unforgiving ref who proves to be more of a distraction than he anticipates.Lauren Gannon approaches life with a single successful mindset: take no prisoners, never give up, and always rely on yourself. At least, that's what she likes to think. The last year has been a little different. Being saddled with her younger sister who refuses to grow up and take responsibility for anything is turning Lauren's world into one crazy disaster after another. The last thing she needs to deal with is a professional hockey player who's too attractive for his own good-or for her sanity.The one thing Lauren has learned in life is to never underestimate the unexpected, and falling for Kenny definitely fits into that category. Can they really be friends and lovers? Kenny does his best to prove they can. But when a sudden family obligation forces Lauren to choose between what she knows is right and what she thinks is expected, will she find herself skating on thin ice and risking the happiness she really wants?… (meer)

Having read “Into the Flames” (Firehouse Fourteen #4 series) before this book was probably not wise BUT that is what I did. It had some of the same people and was a spoiler of sorts. That said…

Kenny Haskell has been on the Banners hockey team for less than a year and is still somewhat insecure about his team status when he meets Lauren Gannon, a referee for children’s ice hockey. They encounter one another a few more times, eventually end up in a relationship and have issues to deal with. I enjoyed their relationship but had trouble with Lauren and her relationship to her sister. I cannot see such a tough, well adjusted, intelligent woman being willing to put up with Lindsay and make the excuses she did for so long. Other than that…the story was interesting and an easy fun read. ( )

Lisa B. Kamps’ ON THE ICE is another amazing addition to The Baltimore Banners Series. The last thing NHL defenseman, Kenny Haskell, expects to happen at the youth hockey game he attended was to be thrown out by referee, Lauren Gannon. The two keep bumping into each other in not the best of circumstances. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for new adult and adult audiences.

I really like both Kenny and Lauren. They are both hard working and love hockey. They had some interesting encounters prior to becoming civil to one another. They have great chemistry and fun verbal banter. I appreciated that Lauren calls him out on his bad plays. She is tough and responsible. She has a good heart and is loyal. Kenny is a great guy. He has worked hard to get where he is at and determined to stay there.

Lauren’s little sister Lindsay is a little brat. I felt sorry for the position she put Lauren in. She is a selfish individual who does not appreciate others. She causes some conflicts that make the story interesting.

The plot was believable and skillfully executed. The story flowed well and exciting from start to finish. The hockey scenes were expertly described. ON THE ICE had a great ending. I learned some interesting medical things I was unaware of. I like that Lauren’s brother, Dale, is a firefighter and will have a story in Lisa B. Kemps Firehouse Fourteen Series, Book 4, INTO THE FLAMES. I thought it was clever how she tied in her two series. I really enjoy The Baltimore Banners and its characters. I cannot wait for the next story in the series.

Complimentary copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ( )
