Cheyenne
Life was good. I had a great job, amazing people surrounding
me, season tickets to see my favorite hockey team play, and a cat that I could
cuddle. Although it didn’t seem glamorous, I was happy. But when the shy,
handsome, and somewhat awkward hockey player slid into my life, I realized that
I could be happier. I wanted to be more than just content with life.
I knew I wanted to be a hockey player from the moment I put
on my first pair of skates. I played
hard for the Titans, proving that I belonged on the top
line. But just when I finally made it, an injury took me out of the game. While
feeling sorry for myself and waiting to heal, I met the bubbly, beautiful, and
smart pediatrician who brought me to my knees. She made me see that there was
more to life than scoring goals. A love of the game helps bring these two
together and onto a path towards a different kind of love.
Game Winning Goal was the perfect way to close out the third "season" of 425 Madison Avenue series. This story was super cute with a sigh worthy couple. I really enjoyed Kam and Cheyenne's story. It was an easy fall into love for both of them. Cheyenne was a doctor and was fairly down to earth. Every time she mentioned her sweets addiction, I could completely sympathize. Kam has definitely made it onto my book boyfriend list. I appreciated that he didn't have a huge ego and had a mind for math. Who doesn't love a guy with a brilliant mind? I appreciated the absence of angst in the story as well. It's a quick read and one I highly recommend.
Excerpt
Copyright @ Kay Gordon 2020
An older man was telling us all about how he’d once
considered buying a hockey team, and I was doing my best to feign interest. I
let my gaze wonder, so I could people watch, though, and I did a double-take
when I caught sight of a woman speaking with a small group of people.
She was wearing a dark purple dress that fell to the floor
and long sleeves that went to her wrists. The fabric dipped low on her chest,
teasing at the cleavage underneath. The dress was tight at the waist, though,
and showed off every curve she had. Her blonde hair had big curls in it, and
the tips looked like they reached her shoulders. She appeared to be about three
or four inches shorter than me, but I was willing to be everything I had that
she had on some killer heels under that dress.
It wasn’t just the way she looked that caught me, though. It
was the way she held herself. She was smiling as she spoke, and it was obvious
that she had every man around her eating out of her hand. They laughed at
whatever she was saying, and she appeared to be enjoying herself.
She was captivating.
“What do you think, Mr. Matlock? Do we have a chance at a
repeat of the cup?”
I reluctantly peeled my eyes away from the woman to focus on
the man in front of me. With a fake smile on my face, I shrugged.
“I think there’s always a chance. We have plenty of time to
turn it around.”
When I glanced back at the woman, I saw that she had removed
herself from the group she was with and was heading toward the silent auction
table.
“Excuse me for a moment, will you?” I didn’t wait for anyone
to reply before walking away.
The woman was looking at one of the lots that included a hot
air balloon ride when I walked up. I cleared my throat and fought against
shoving my hands into my pockets– a nervous habit of mine.
“A hot air balloon ride, huh?” I wanted to cringe at the
lame words leaving my mouth, but I couldn’t stop them. “I’d probably faint
before I left the ground.”
The woman looked up at me with a polite but disinterested
smile on her face that told me she thought my line was cheesy, too. “Afraid of
heights?
When her emerald green eyes met mine, recognition and
realization dawned on me.
It was the woman from the game.
“Cheyenne.”
