Las Vegas Sidewinders: Nate: A Virgin, Damaged Hero, Las Vegas Sidewinders Hockey Romance

Kat Mizera hits it in the net with NATE, the eleventh book in the Las Vegas Sidewinders series. Rookie, Nate Calloway, meets journalist, Chelsea Baldwin, when she literally falls in his lap. The two are smitten with each other, but there is no way an athlete and a reporter could date. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for new adult audiences. Nate was introduced in the Alaska Blizzard series. Nate is friends with Whitney Sommers. They both met when he was at school in Boston. I adored him in that series. I was thrilled that Kate Mizera wrote his story. Nate is a sweet rookie that you cannot help but love. He suffered a tragedy in his youth who still affects him. I like Chelsea. She is a recent graduate working for the Sin City Observer. She is given the opportunity to report on the Las Vegas Sidewinders despite her lack of hockey knowledge. She is smart, creative, and has integrity. The two have a heartwarming connection. They are adorable together. The novel had a great plot. It covered topics that are important and unfortunately happens too frequently. The characters face significant obstacles and grew as a result. I love how the team supports Nate. Kat Mizera continues to do a great job with this series. I highly recommend this book to people that enjoy sports romances with relevant issues. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

I'm a big fan of this series and this was a great addition to the series. I was instantly drawn into Nate and Chelsea's story. I really liked that isn't the typical hero and he's has a little surprising fact about himself. This book had humor that I enjoyed a lot especially in the epilogue. I like the camaraderie between the Sidewinders. They're a tight knit group. Nate and Chelsea's romance is a little forbidden because he's a hockey player and she's the sports reporter following the Sidewinders for immediate future. It has a disaster in the making, but do they have what it takes to make for the long haul?

5 star Review Las Vegas Sidewinders: Nate (# 11) by Kat Mizera Despite the fact that a hockey player should never become involved with a rookie sports reporter that is exactly what happens to Nate Calloway and Chelsea Baldwin. All Nate wants to do is concentrate on his hockey game, however the intense attraction and chemistry which sizzles between him and Chelsea makes it impossible to ignore. Will their fledgling relationship be able to withstand the pressures of professional ice jockey and all that comes with dating a high profile player? Or will Chelsea's job interfere and ruin their chance to find happiness? One click and find out. I loved all the secondary characters in this book and when time permits I will be reading the previous books in the series.
