He’s hiding a secret. She’s completely off-limits. Will their budding friendship turn into something more?

T.J. Shanstrom never knows when to quit. So when he sucker-punches a rival while on the ice, the pro hockey player finds himself benched for the rest of the season, suspended, and traded to Colorado. Guilty and trying to make amends, he visits the injured athlete… and is taken aback by a beautiful woman he encounters at the hospital.

Natalie Foster’s fresh start isn’t going swimmingly. After her new boyfriend ends up hospitalized and his ex shows up, the part-time dogsitter is pleasantly surprised to make a handsome friend. And when the guy bites off more than he can chew by adopting a dog, the no-nonsense woman is glad to help.

Struggling to fit in with his new team and fix his image, T.J. keeps his background hidden even as he starts falling hard for the charming beauty. And as Natalie accepts increasing help from her platonic shining knight, she’s still blissfully unaware of his true identity…

Will the truth call time on a potentially perfect happily ever after?

Third Man In is the entertaining second book in The Playmakers Series of contemporary sports romances. If you like flawed characters, light-hearted humor, and sizzling chemistry, then you’ll love G.K. Brady’s play for keeps.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Award-winning author G.K. Brady’s passion for writing first manifested itself in cartoon strips she created for her parents’ entertainment. Since then, all sorts of stories and characters have lived in her imagination, elbowing one another for attention, so she’s giving them their voice on the written page.

A writer of contemporary romance, she loves happy endings, and how better to enjoy them than to create them? Her favorite tales are of the less-than-perfect hero or heroine who transforms before a reader’s eyes. She loves the notion that two people can go through the wringer and still come out with their happily-ever-after.

G.K. is a wife and the proud mom of three grown sons. When she’s not writing, she’s probably watching hockey … or she might be reading, drinking wine, listening to music, or gardening—sometimes all at once!

Good Book !!!

Reviewed in Australia on 24 December 2019

This is the first time reading this author but I will be reading more.
This was an interesting story and I was getting a bit antsy at the start but you had to know the full story behind what was happening.
TJ is a pro hockey player on suspension for being the Third Man In and being traded to another team.
Natalie is the girlfriend of the hockey player that TJ hit.
Loved the story and recommend it to read.
I received a free copy of this book through booksprout for an voluntary honest review.

Reviewed in Australia on 19 December 2019

There is a whole lot of story in this book, but I have to say every part of it needed to be written.
At first I was getting annoyed that it seemed to take forever for TJ and Natalie to meet, but as this part of the story plays out it really couldn’t have been written any other way.
This is my first book by this author and it definitely won’t be my last.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

I am having fun with this series, hot hockey guys and sassy women! T.J. has been dealt a blog blow to his career when an unlucky shot put him out for the season, while going to make some amends he sees a vision being pulled by a dog. Nat' s life has been turned upside down when her boyfriend lands in the hospital after taking a career ending hit, she's exhausted trying to balance work and support but when emotions rise can her new client help her out? Humor, drama, secrets and a lovable mutt make this a entertaining read.

She shoots, she scores...again!

Like the first in the series, Third Man In is a character driven romance that steadily builds between two people who discover how they complete each other. It's endearing, has many laugh out loud moments and incredibly intimate. T.J is the enforcer on his team and in the heat of the moment, takes down a player of another team. Public outrage is running high against him, and after being traded, T.J finds himself back in Colorado. Checking in on the player who he put in the hospital, he gets to know Natalie, the guy's new girlfriend and he's determined to help her out, but without her knowing who he really is. The result is funny, heartwarming (double kudos to Ford the loveable dog) and incredibly sexy!
G.K. Brady has very quickly become my favourite contemporary romance author. I'm hoping for a long hockey season with many more in the series to come. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Really loving this series so far. The chemistry between the characters is sizzling and I loved the crazy ride these two took me on. All the ups and downs and the drama they had to get their HEA, made this book a great read. Can’t wait for the next book. Happy reading!!

TJ didn't come off well at first, letting his temper and frustration get the best of him, and not using his own brain to realize that something about the directive from his coach was questionable. Right away he hits a low, just like Beckett in the first book of the series. Also like the first book, the hits just kept on coming, obstacle after obstacle (plus a difficult backstory/childhood), hurtling TJ toward the train wreck you know is coming with Natalie. Very similar plot line to Beckett, with an ‘accidental’ friendship that results in love before the sex (which I like) and even similar character traits. Still, TJ's journey to learning to love himself makes for good reading. I wasn't as fond of Natalie, she didn't take ownership of her life and let her guilt drive her actions to the point it jeopardized her job. It was a little too much for me that the woman TJ was interested in was dating the guy he assaulted, I'm not sure that connection was necessary. Incidentally, the lawsuit and issues related to it also 'went away' rather suddenly toward the end, as if the author wanted all loose ends tied up (I wanted to tell her it's okay to leave one like that). Anyway, the point is the romance, and that had a very satisfying (if slightly over the top sweet especially considering where TJ was at the start of the book) ending. And the scenes with Ford the dog insinuating himself into TJ’s life and heart were the BEST.

2nd book read. Good so far

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2022

Just started reading this author and I am enjoying the two reads so far. TJ Has been traded to a new hockey team and fans are not happy withe his last play. He was told by his coach to hit the guy hard and he did landing the guy in hospital with a serious concussion. He feels guilty even though he was only doing his job and he goes and sees the guy who doesnt bare a grudge. Natalie had only just started a relationship with him and feels guilty that she doesnt really want to be there. Fortunately his ex wife wants him back. TJ meets Natalie and there is an instant attraction but he avoids telling her who he is until of course someone sees him and then she is cut up with his lies. Would liked to have seen the coach get his comeuppance. Bit rushed at the end.
