Sure Shot: A Hockey Romance (Brooklyn Hockey Book 4) Kindle Edition

A new stand-alone novel in the USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen.

On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, successful sports agent Bess Beringer is ready to make some changes. Armed with a five-year plan—indexed and color coded—she’ll tackle a few goals in her personal life.

A big, tall, ripped hunk of hockey player who’s just been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers is not a part of that five year plan. Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz has a lot of baggage. He’s a ride-or-die commitmentphobe. He’s on the rebound. He’s also the sexiest thing on two legs, and for some crazy reason it’s Bess that he wants.

She knows better. But then she falls stupid in love with him anyway. And for a while it seems like maybe he’ll do the same.

Until she asks him for the one thing he can never give her…

A sweet and sexy second chance

A sweet and sexy second chance
Even though I'm not a big late winter/early spring sports fan, I've been missing sports something fierce this year. So much so that *if* hockey or basketball was on, I'd probably watch it at this point. Even if it's not my favorite. (Football forever!) I hadn't thought to try a sports romance and see how if it would fit. Until, that is, Sure Shot landed on my Kindle. Then I wasted no time. There are some authors I can count on to snap me out of a reading funk or slump. Sarina Bowen is absolutely one of them. That's been the case since I discovered her books years ago. Sure Shot was no exception, but it was indeed exceptional. Bess and Tank gave me all the feels and heat I want when I read.There's a reason — well, many — that second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes. Sarina nailed all of them with Bess and Tank's story. No matter how things went down between them in the past or what challenges arose for them, it was impossible NOT to root for them. It was obvious from the start just how smitten they were with each other, which made me all the more smitten in return. There were some hurdles they needed to get over and I admired how they did it together.I loved all the glimpses we got into the lives of some of my Brooklyn favorites from other books. Getting a chance to find out what's happening in their lives was the icing on an already delicious cake. Things might've been a little rocky at first when Tank arrived in Brooklyn, but the team — and their ladies — didn't waste *that much* time before welcoming him into the fold. Both Tank and Bess found where they belong and it made my heart so, so happy.I hope Sure Shot isn't the last of the Brooklyn series. And maybe more than anything, I hope Sarina decides to write a spinoff series that follows the female hockey team that was mentioned towards the end of the book. You have no idea how here I am for that concept.

Sure Shot is a delightful read, full of funny banter, tender love and some deep meaningful conversation regarding infertility. I enjoyed the way the story flowed, Mark and Bess love for each other was strong and they supported each other at every turn. I love that even though Mark and Bess got a nice, unexpected surprise they still plan on adopting.
The narrators were phenomenal as always.

Tank and Bess' story truly touched me. The pressures of infertility have affected many people I know, yet its rarely discussed. I also love how strong yet kind both characters are in this book. I have never been around professional sports teams, but I saw enough competition and pressure with college athletics.

I love these long series. It's fun to see familiar characters weaved into each new story. Video No can still beat everyone at games, Becca is still! Painting friends nails. Jason still eats PB & J, and the list goes on. Like spending time with old friends!

My romance reading started with Sweet Dreams high school romances and then moved onto historical romances by the likes of Jude Deveraux and Julie Garwood. So, at sixteen my hero looked like a floppy-haired skinny kid (think Zac Efron in High School Musical) who rode horses while wearing breeches and a cravat (think Mr Darcy or Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Tudor…depending what era I was reading). While I, the heroine, wore beautiful ballgowns in my evenings, and a pair of jeans and a t-shirt during the day. To this day I love historical and contemporary romances, and I can still picture myself in both worlds. Back then, I had a great imagination and no problem seeing a future with my swaggering, rugby-playing, horse-riding, and aristocratic husband.

The thing I find most humorous is that while those attributes appealed to me in my youth, I’ve realised that in some ways, my imaginings did produce the man of my dreams in my Hubby. No, he’s not a swaggering, rugby-playing, horse-riding, and aristocratic husband, but he is a thoughtful, sweet, strong and loving man. Those wishful imaginings of my youth were surface value only. With maturity, I realised that what was really important about those men in my stories was that they ended up being thoughtful, sweet, strong and loving. Well…maybe not the high school boys. 😉

Sure Shot was a fantastic story and made me think of all the plans of my youth. Some of those imaginings made it to fruition and some were just never going to happen. A lot of them were realised with a few tweaks. It’s all good to make plans, but sometimes life has a way of taking things in a different way than you hoped for. Adjustments need to made to your dreams, and some even need to be given up on. I found myself feeling sorry for Mark and Bess, but I also realised that their dreams had to be adjusted like most peoples. Yes, their past wasn’t pretty, but Bess and Mark are strong, determined and motivated. On first meeting them, I knew that they were meant for happiness together. I knew it…but for them, they needed to conquer a few demons and hurdle a few obstacles.

Bess had a terrible childhood but was living very successfully despite it. After hitting the big 3-0, she is making plans for the next stage of her life. Mark is a successful hockey player who has been traded to a new team and he’s finalising his divorce. He doesn’t want to make plans because the ones he previously made went horribly wrong. Bess and Mark have a past, but it has been a lot of years in between. So, one has plans and dreams and one doesn’t want to ever make plans again. But, both can’t deny their intense attraction to each other and will come to realise that some plans can be tweaked to give you everything you dreamed of.

Sarina Bowen is a wonderful storyteller. Every time I read one of her stories, I’m always left emotionally satisfied and joyful that another couple has found their happy ever after. Yes, that’s a little silly considering they’re make-believe, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. I just love that buzz of a perfect romance. Well, it wasn’t always perfect for Mark and Bess but it did end perfectly.

I’ve loved the Brooklyn series and Sure Shot did not disappoint. It was great to catch up with some of my favourite characters and see where their lives are at. Bess and Mark were lovable, the storyline was interesting, and the sexy times were sizzling. If you haven’t tried this series, I highly recommend giving it a try. I suggest you… start at the very beginning, a very good place to start…

5.0 out of 5 stars Sure Shot is what happiness feels like

Sure Shot is most definitely one of my top five reads of 2020. It’s a hockey romance masterclass. It’s beautifully written and it will definitely make you swoon.

I love the Brooklyn Bruisers. This series owns my heart. Every single book is a masterpiece, and Sure Shot might be the best one yet. It’s not surpring because Sarina Bowen is always outdoing herself. She’s such a talented writer and storyteller. There’s nothing better than reading one of her books, either for the first time or the tenth time.

Sure Shot is Bess Beringer’s story. She’s stong, smart and determined. She’s a very successful sports agent, and about to turn thirty. She’s making some changes in her personal life. She has moved to Brooklyn to be closer to her family, and wants a family of her own. But she didn’t count on Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz, a former lover who still has the ability to make her swoon, to come back into her life.

Mark is a great guy. He’s a bit of a grump, but charming and funny. He’s dreamy and swoonworthy. His reputation precedes him, but he has depth, and you’ll see he’s hiding a wounded soul. He’s definitely book boyfriend material. He’s the new player on the team, traded from Dallas—Brooklyn’s nemesis, and is completely out of his depth. He’s not getting along with his new teammates on and off the ice. He’s getting divorced, and is a regular feature in the gossip blogs, his character constantly in question. Basically, his whole life is falling apart. He’s not looking for a relationship, but he wasn’t expecting to run into Bess again, the girl he had a fling with nine years ago.

I loved Bess and Tank together. Their banter is hilarious, and their chemistry off the charts. The intensity of their attraction comes through loud and clear. But more importantly, it’s evident they have a special connection. It’s not about their physical connection, even when they both try to keep their relationship secret and without strings. Bess’s conflict with it is pretty evident, but Tank’s reluctance has deeper roots, and they come to light when he opens up to Bess, showing her his vulnerability.

One of the things I love most about this series is that it has a very strong small-town vibe. Brooklyn—and especially DUMBO—are described so vividly and with such attention to detail, that they come alive in the reader’s mind, and they really play a very important role in these stories. It’s part of their DNA.

The other thing I love is the characters. I’m in love with each and every one of them. The depth and intensity of the supporting cast is one of Sarina Bowen’s trademarks.

I loved seeing Bess bonding with Becca and Georgia, and Tank trying to explain his role on the team to Jason Castro. Heidi steals the show more than once, as only she does, and we get to hang out with Zara, Dave and Nicole for a little while. It was great to see Patrick O’Doul so zen, happiness definitely suits him. Baby Bayer had a couple of magic moments as well, and I loved meeting Henry, such a lovely guy.

Sure Shot is a beautiful second chance story about moving on, true love, and trust. About embracing change, and realizing that there’s more than one way to find happiness if only you’re open to the possibilities. It’s witty and hilarious, but just as heartfelt and soulful as you’d expect from Sarina Bowen. It’s the perfect combination of laugh-out-loud fun and very emotional and heartbreaking revelations. It will touch your soul and make it cry a little, both from heartbreak and laughter.

Sure Shot is Sarina Bowen at her best, and that alone makes it worth your time. It’s hockey perfection, steamy romance and wonderful characters. I loved everything about this story, and can only hope there are more hunky hockey players coming our way in the near future.

Bess, nossa heroína, é uma das minhas personagens favoritas desde sua aparição espetacular em Bountiful, o romance que conta a história de Dave e Zara (crossover da série True North com Brooklin Bruisers).
Sure Shot tem tudo que se pode querer num romance: um par de protagonistas charmosos, uma trama, original, consistente e que prende a atenção, conflito e drama na medida certa, um time de personagens secundários que aparece nas horas certas, ritmo e texto impecáveis.
Eu sou fã da autora e Sure Shot preencheu todas as minhas expectativas. É uma bela história de amor, segunda chance e crescimento pessoal. A autora foi extremamente feliz ao conceber uma trama que não enrola, não perde o ritmo e cujas estrelas, Bess e Tank, formam um dos casais mais simpáticos da romancelândia.
Sure Shot é uma aposta segura para qualquer apreciador de histórias cheias de romance, um pouco de pimenta e diálogos espirituosos. Super recomendado.

Loved this one too...I can't get enough of the Brooklyn Bruisers!

Tank is having a rough trott. He had a fight with one of his Dallas team mates, his wife chucks him out and wants a divorce and he's been transferred from Dallas to Brooklyn. On top of that, his new teammates don't trust him of understand his playing techniques. The only bright thing he spots is Bessie, someone he knew a long time ago.

Bessie is shocked to see Tank in town and decides that she's not going to let on that she knows him in front of his teammates as she likes to keep her private life exactly that, private. Problem is that the old feelings and memories come flooding back and it is going to be difficult to keep that under control.

Great back story between these two. Also good that the stories of the other players get continued through each book. Fab series.
