Explore Maybe This Love (Colorado Ice, #2) Showcased By Jennifer Snow Presented In Paper Edition

Westmore has been a confirmed playboy bachelor for years, He is captain of the Colorado Avalanche and they are just about to start play offs for the Stanley Cup.
He needs all of his focus to finally achieve this dream, But all of a sudden he is faced with some big distractions, He finds out that a recent trip to Vegas with a bit too much alcohol has left him in a vulnerable position and he needs a lawyer.
And turns out the opposing counsel sparks reactions in him that he cannot deny, Big distractions he does not need,

Olivia Davis is a workaholic divorce attorney, She is driven, tough, untrusting, but has her own vulnerability and loneliness, She is making plans for her future that does not involve a man, But she cannot deny the fact that Ben Westmore is an attractive one, No matter how much of a player she thinks he is,

Their situation is messy and complicated, They alternate between dynamic banter that is antagonistic, flirty, humorous, and sweet, But for once, Ben is interested in the challenge and chase, And Olivia does her best at avoidance and guarding herself, but Ben can be persuasive when he sets a goal for himself.
They have undeniable chemistry, but they are definitely distractions to each other's current goals, Not to mention the unprofessionalism of it all,

Ben is determined not to choke this time in the play offs, and surprisingly he is finding it just as important not to let her down.
The longstanding commitment phobe does not seem to be as terrified when it comes to her, For once he can just be himself, But his reputation proceeds him and does not invoke trust, And there is a chance that being with Olivia could be even more commitment than he was ever planning on.
She has her dreams. He has his. But could they coexist

This is an easy, funny, sweet, passionate love story that mixes up various popular romance tropes and mixes them all together.
It has likable characters in a close knit community, I enjoyed more with his family Jackson and Abby, Becky and Neil, Asher, and his friend, Owen who is now the team mascot.
And their mom is a scene stealer for sure, I love their interactions with each other and how close they all are, I really adored Ben. I loved his sense of humor, and seeing him grow and begin to look at life in a different way.
And Olivia was a good match for him,

This one is about finding what you need when you least expect it, and believing in yourself and the other person.
They both needed validation, and were afraid of rejection and hurt, But sometimes dreams can grow and change, and some things are worth the fight, But Ben has a big fight on his hands both for the cup and for the girl and the future he never thought he would want.
I am looking forward to more in this series with Owen and Asher,

Maybe this love ist für mich der bisher beste Teil der Reihe,

Ich bin sofort in der Geschichte angekommen und mochte Olivia und Ben von Beginn an, Die Wünsche und Ängste von Olivia konnte ich gut nachvollziehen und ich habe sie für ihren Schritt sehr bewundert.
Auch Ben war ein lieber und wirklich witziger Kerl, der mir sofort sympathisch war, Für mich haben die beiden perfekt zusammen gepasst,

Unterhaltsam fand ich auch den Sportteil in der Geschichte, Dieser hat eine wirklich gute Atmosphäre geschaffen,

Gut gefallen hat mir auch, dass man regelmäßig die anderen Paare und Personen wiedertrifft,

Ich bin sehr gespannt auf den nächsten Teil der Reihe,.Stars so rounding up to

This is a quick, somewhat predictable read, The plot and how the main characters met are unique though, Even though the characters from book one are in this book, it can be read as a standalone.


Ben is a really good guy in a bad situation, He is super sweet and very grounded even though hes a famous hockey player, Other than the few texts he received, his player personality doesnt really show, Id call him more of a commitmentphobe and thats with good reason,

Olivia is a bit confusing, Shes making a life altering decision even though she hasnt really even tried to be in a relationship with a man.
She makes several unethical decisions where Ben is concerned and shes a bit wishywashy at times,

I dont feel like their story is over so Im actually hoping they show up in the next book.
Im assuming the next book will be about Asher and there was a bit of foreshadowing with him in this one.


The writing was pretty good but Im a huge hockey fan and there were a couple of inaccuracies about the playoffs that bugged me a little.
Thend round of the playoffs is the semifinals which would lead to the conference finals, not the cup finals.
If Colorado was home for the first game of the cup finals, then they would stay at home for game, not go on the road.
The format is.There is never a shootout in overtime in the playoffs they play until someone wins,

Overall, this book is as good as book one and if youre looking for a quick, albeit predictable, romance story this would be a good book for you.

Maybe This Love was a sweet and entertaining read.

The storyline held my interest, the characters were likable and relatable and I enjoyed watching them come together.

Ben and Olivia entertained me while I got to know them and while I did find myself a little frustrated with some things, it wasn't enough to take away from my overall enjoyment.




The Colorado Ice series has been a fun and enjoyable read, each book can be read as a standalone and I highly recommend them.

Maybe This Love is the second book in the Colorado Ice series but can be read as a standalone although the characters are interconnected.
This book started off really strong for me and I loved the way that Ben and Olivia meet.
Ben is the captain of the Colorado Avalanche hockey team and when he got really drunk in Vegas he ended up married.
He doesn't remember it or the woman he married and wants a divorce as soon as possible, Olivia is a divorce attorney who is representing Ben's soon to be exwife and has a rule against dating athletes.


I loved the first time they meet in the parking lot and the instant attraction they both feel.
It was different and although the chemistry is clearly there they are on opposing sides, Not to mention Ben is supposedly a player, This is where I started to have a few difficulties and maybe his "player" status is clearly defined in the first book which I didn't read but other than getting a lot of phone calls from various women we don't really ever see Ben as a player.
Although the book tells us he is I never really felt it and so when the heroine had some major trust issues with him I didn't really sympathize with her or understand it.


I wish Olivia's character was a bit more fleshed out as well, She is written as a very successful and competent lawyer although within days of meeting Ben she makes some decisions that just boggle my mind as a professional.
When she has dinner at his house with his brother, sisterinlaw and him it just doesn't fit she's representing his wife so this is clearly something she shouldn't be doing.
She is also going through artificial insemination to have a baby but even Olivia isn't clear on why she is doing this so the reader is never clear on why.
Is it because she lost her family at an early age and is trying to replace them Is it because she is lonely Or does she truly desire to have a baby Even by the end of the book I wasn't sure.
She has a very demanding job, no friends or family so having a baby with no support system seemed a bit odd for someone who is all about control and being safe which I got from her character.


Although Olivia isyears old she sometimes make's some immature decisions and I just couldn't buy her being so upset towards the end.
He gave a woman a ride home and was photographed with her not holding her hand, hugging her or kissing her or anything so the fact that she wouldn't even listen to him bothered me I did enjoy the hockey story line and the secondary characters especially Ben's mother.
So while I enjoyed the story the questions I had with the characters that were never resolved has me giving this bookstars.
