About this ebook

Dive into this second chance hockey romance!

Money, power, prestige…reject. 

Love me, then leave me. It’s been the story of my life, from the grandfather who refused to acknowledge my mom, to my own father... even my wife, who wrote a tell-all on her way out. 

Hockey’s all I have to call my own, since the Coulter name was denied to me.

I’ve looked forward all season to being alone in my cabin, free from the tabloid chatter. I didn’t expect my high-school crush to be home… or to need my rescue after an accident in a storm.

Lexa is the woman of my dreams, the one I was always too scared to try for--or even talk to. Stranded together, we make our own heat, in more ways than one. I know I’m no good for her; I know she’ll leave me like everyone does. And she’ll destroy me on her way out.

We had then. We have now. Convincing her to be mine always would be the perfect hat trick.

Ratings and reviews

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book Money, power, prestige…reject. Ransom Cox is —The Player. His whole life, hockey player, Ransom Cox, has watched the people he loves the most reject and leave him. He’s learned it’s better to be on his own. After the scandal of his wife walking out on him right before the championships, citing his bedroom “over” prowess as the reason, he can’t seem to escape the spotlight. The last thing he wants is to be stranded in a cabin with the one girl he’s always wanted. The one girl who could destroy him. Ransom Cox oh YUMMY YUMMY This story was amazing, I felt so bad for Ransom " Handsome Cox" in so many ways, he felt that he was cursed to never know love, because his father left him, his wife left him and he just cant forget about the one girl he always had feelings for since high school Lexxi, I LOVED how this story played out and OMG I so want to know how things go when Ransom opens that Hotel room door

Ransom is every girl dream guy, he is handsome, a great hockey player, and according to a tell all book he is very well endowed in more ways than one. But those things are not what are important to him, in fact they seem to be his curse and he thinks that the only thing he is good for is to be left behind. Having a long list of people that has abandoned or left him make him believes he does not deserve love, but that crush from High School & first crush will prove him wrong. Lexa returns home to sort her life and try to figure out why everything in her life imploded, not realizing that her dream guy, her Handsome Cox will give her the story of her life and will turn her life upside down. This is not your ordinary Coulter story. Ransom & Lexa have a ride full of surprises, bumps & bruises, heartache, lots of love, and very hot sexy passion. They will find love when they least expect it and both will find out that not all that is written, necessary is the truth.

The books in this series just keep getting better. Nana Malone is on fire with this series. This is a hot, sexy read. Ransom and Lexa knew each other in high school the attraction was always there. Neither one of them acted on it too afraid. Fast forward to the present, he's home visiting his mother. I love how much he loves and protects his mother. The way this story was written it just brighten up my day, especially since mother's day is coming up. Ransom rescues Lexa and brings her home. He finally gets a chance to be with the only woman he's ever wanted. Ransom and Lexa just burned the pages up with their love scenes. Where can I find my own Ransom??? It's funny I kind of miss Rory in this book and all the other characters. I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm looking forward to reading Gage's story.
