Dom Gianni takes a lot of punishment in the hockey rink, but when he sees Molly McCarran getting beaten up by her husband, he's ready to throw down his gloves and fight for her. But Molly isn't about to trust another man—and Dom is already skating on thin ice with his NHL-mandated probation. Besides, how could a hotshot player like Dom really care about a woman so much older than he? Then a kidnapping raises the stakes. If Molly can't believe in Dom, and if he can't dig deep to save her, it might be the final buzzer for them both.

I get to three stars only by putting aside the plot point that Molly is a survivor of 20+ years of domestic abuse, including a dozen miscarriages. Either that or she is the strongest survivor ever, experiencing only a weakened self-esteem (not unlike I have seen in other women - real and fictional - who have not experienced DV). She is more concerned with slight crows feet and that her hair is grating at her temples.

Otherwise, Mizera lays the foundation for a hockey series I'll probably read more of, unless I run into more insane characters like Molly.

The story was good, but there was too many minor plots and sub stories, and other character story lines going on.
I don't mind a minor plot involving other characters where it introduces them for the next story that will be theirs, but this was too much. Cody and Suze; Toli, Sergei and Tatiana.
I will admit that I'm definitely curious about Toli and even Zakk though.

Some of it could have been cut out and used to write other books or novellas.

Minor irking. Why did Toli's brother call him Anatoli Yuri Petrov? Russians don't have actual middle names, but use a patronymic. Unless they made a mistake his father is Yuri then it should have been Yuryevich. I know minor nitpickings, but yeah that's how I am.
