Good Hands

Brandon is pathetic and a bit emotionally cold due to his childhood experiences. His perceptions and how he limits himself that he couldn't be a good father or a good husband just because he grew up with parents who always argued traumatized and belittled his potentials in the process. How can anyone think that their childhood trauma is the sum total of how they react to certain incidents of their life like toward marriage and having kids. Can't someone not follow their parents footsteps and forged a life of their own different to what they grew up with?

Good Hands (Bears Hockey II, #2) has something for everyone, it’s a holiday fling that soon turns into a friends with benefits before eventually turning into so much more. This is Brandon and Lola’s entertaining and sometimes emotional journey. Brandon is one of the few single players left on the team, he doesn’t have the time or the inclination for a relationship but a holiday fling is just what the doctor ordered. A chance meeting with Lola in Aruba soon leads to so much more when they realise they both live in the same town but a relationship was never on the cards for him because he grew up with parents who argued all the time. Lola is always trying to please her successful patents, believing she is a failure means she works non stop and has no time for a relationship so on the face of it this couple are perfect for each other, friends with benefits works well for them both….until feelings come into play, until a surprise that’s about to change their life around happens…… I could not get enough of this couple, I swooned, I sighed, I smiled and I shed a tear as I got to really know them. Good Hands is a fantastic addition to the series, it has wonderful characters, it’s a captivating story that will entertain you and I highly recommend it to all romance lovers.

5 star reviews Good Hands (Bear Hockeys II #2) by Kelly Jamieson Having read the first book in the lastest series from Kelly Jamieson, I could not wait to read Good Hands which is Brandon Smith and Lola McGrath’s story. The writing was strong with characters that you cannot help but fall for. They were easy to relate too, the story was well written and I wa sdrawn in from the first chapter. Brandon is fun loving and doesnt beliwve in serious relationships on or off the ice. He has baggage from his past which has taught him to be fancy free and not to commit to a relationship or his team; all commitment does is cause pain and heartache. My heart broke for both him and Lola as their childhoods were not great and all that they have missed out on. Meeting Lola he is drawn to her but knowing she is leaving the next day, he is happy to hook up. There is something about her that really resonates with him perhaps because she is as anti commitment as Brandon. Fate works in mysterious ways and they do meet again and quickly enter into a friends with benefits relationship which soon becomes complicated. I loved the growth of both Brandon and Lola as their story developed. The banter was witty and the passion between them was intense.
