Good thing high-powered attorney Sinead O'Brien has a rule about never dating clients. Because Adam Perry, the newest star of the New York Blades—and her newest client—has her headed for the penalty box. If only she could prove he's just another jock...
Adam's been charged with assault after a borderline hit on another star player, but off the ice he's a private, no-nonsense guy who knows the Blades are his last shot at Stanley Cup glory.
Assembling her case, Sinead tries not to get distracted by Adam's dazzling good looks or strong work ethic, but she quickly discovers that there's a wounded man under that jersey, and she's starting to fall for him—hard.
Now Adam's having trouble focusing on the goal with Sinead in his sights. And Sinead is tempted to break her "no dating clients" rule. Can they play on their newfound feelings without penalties?

I wonder if it's just me... it's my 2nd Deirdre Martin book and I'm not fully into her books still. Or maybe her books are not just for me. For some reason, I just can't connect to her characters. And I feel that there's something missing. Though I liked Icebreaker than The Penalty Box. And the case felt that it became a backstory and it wasn't much of a conflict than I was kinda thinking that it would be. Hmm... I wonder if I should try one more book? After all, there's 9 of them in the series and I've read only 2. Maybe I'll hit one that would just be right for me ;)
