BOOK SUMMARY
Hockey star Cooper Black and professional
party crasher Izzy Maxwell return in this sequel to Crashing the Boards.
Jealous
boyfriends and glitzy parties can be a recipe for disaster. When the gorgeous
yet controlling Cooper interrupts a party Izzy was paid to crash and almost
ruins her career as a professional party crasher, Izzy kicks him to the curb.
She learned early in life not to count on anyone, and she will not relinquish
her independence, not even to a sexy-as-sin pro athlete who can melt her with
one wink.
As the
Sockeyes hockey team opens their inaugural season in Seattle, Cooper finds
himself minus a girlfriend and plus a surly teenaged nephew. Cooper doesn’t
want to be a surrogate dad, he doesn’t want to play in Seattle, and he doesn’t
want to be alone. He misses Izzy, but seeing her with other men at parties
turns him every shade of green. Regardless, he wants her back, and he’s willing
to change, if only she’ll give him a second chance. Aware of her precarious
finances, Cooper makes an offer she can’t refuse by hiring her to be
responsible for his nephew when he’s traveling with the team.
Fearing
Cooper isn’t capable of changing his control-freak ways, Izzy resists his
efforts to turn their financial arrangement into a personal relationship. He
needs a sweet, docile girlfriend, and Izzy cannot be that woman. Yet, when
tragedy strikes, Izzy is there when Cooper needs her the most, and love has a
way of getting what it wants, no matter the circumstances.

EXCERPT
“What are you doing here?” Izzy
hissed, ever mindful their voices could carry down the hallway to anyone
loitering about the ballroom entrance.
“Looking for you,” Cooper growled
right back while his gaze raked up and down her body clad in a form-fitting
little black dress which revealed a tasteful amount of cleavage and bare
thighs.
“Cooper, I told you I had to work
tonight.”
He scowled and stepped toward her,
backing her up until she hit the wall behind her. He put his big hands on
either side of her face and leaned in. “I don’t like you hanging out with all
these wealthy businessmen and athletes who’re salivating after you like tomcats
on the prowl.”
“You are a wealthy athlete,” she
reminded.
“Exactly,” he responded with a
grimace.
“It’s just a job.” She stared up
into his stormy blue eyes, forcing herself to stay on task and not get lost in
those passionate depths.
“I have more than enough money to
support you while you go back to school. You don’t need to do this job.”
“I love my job.” Izzy shook her
head. She would never be dependent on anyone. After all, when
you couldn’t trust your own parents to provide the bare minimum basics of food
and shelter, why would you set yourself up to depend on anyone else?
“I don’t.” He glared down at her,
his strong jaw set and his kissable mouth drawn in a firm line. If she kissed
him right now, he’d forget about everything and the situation would be defused.
Until next time. She gathered her strength and did what she had to do. For
herself, her sanity, and her business.
“You, buster—” she jabbed her finger
in his hard chest. “Do not get a vote.”
He ground his jaw. She cringed at
the thought of what that’d do to his implants if he kept it up.
“Cooper, please—”
“This isn’t working. I can’t live
like this, not knowing where you are and what you’re doing.”
“You know where I am. I tell you
what parties we’re crashing.”
“Yeah, but I worry about you.”
Concern softened the anger in his eyes, but judging by his clenched fists, it
still bubbled beneath the surface even as he fought to control it.
“There’s nothing to worry about.”
Izzy sighed. She wouldn’t quit this job. Number one, she loved it. Number two,
it supported her three younger sisters and their college tuitions. Number
three, Cooper would not take away her ability to control her present or future.
“You don’t know these people.”
“I don’t have to know them. It’s not
like I’m going to establish a relationship with any of them.”
“You did with me.” He pointed out
the fact that they’d met at a party her company, the Party Crashers, had been
hired to crash over a month ago.
“That was the only time that
happened.” She lifted her head and glared at him. “Is that what this is all
about? You don’t trust me?”
A muscle ticked in Cooper’s square,
stubbled jaw, and his face hardened to stone. That was all the answer she
needed.
CAT'S REVIEW
"Crashing the Net" by Jami Davenport. This is the continuation of Izzy and Cooper's story - it started in the novella "Crashing the Boards" but it can be read as a standalone. This book contains it all - my emotions were all over the place. Ms. Davenport does an amazing job of describing each and every feeling being felt. I cried, smiled and cheered throughout. Izzy and Cooper are a complex couple - both feel the need to be in control, which can cause a bit of conflict between the two. Enter a teenager in the mix and things get real interesting. Learning more about Izzy and Cooper's histories and why they are how they are was enlightening - made me like each character more and more. I am enjoying this series and look forward to reading more from Ms. Davenport in the future. For a super enjoyable read, pick this one up - Ms. Davenport scores with "Crashing the Net"! (received copy for honest review)
