Mile High by Liz Tomforde
3.0
“There’s only so much oxygen on an airplane. I don’t want his ego to suffocate the rest of us. You know, safety and all that shit.”
Stevie is a flight attendant for the Chicago Hockey team and it just so happens that team has the biggest ego in the NHL on their roster. Zanders is the guy the fans and the media love to talk about, he spends most of his time in the penalty box and leaves the rink with a different woman every game, but he's also unfiltered, unapologetic and drop dead gorgeous. While his attempts to annoy her continue, she just keeps finding little pieces that are slightly endearing. But she promised herself she wouldn't make the mistake of being with an athlete again, not after the last time.
This was okay. It was WAY too long. There is no reason for this book to be six hundred pages...just why? I love the reformed player trope, so that was something I really did enjoy here and I really appreciated the therapy piece as well. Honestly, I think more people need therapy, so it was nice to see it so openly accepted in this novel. There was a lot that annoyed me though also, like Zanders' whole media persona...you are an athlete...play hockey well and your fans will love you, the end. Also, this is a sports romance...but we only see the sport in one scene, which felt bizarre to me. Will read the next one for sure, I think I'm going to like Ryan and Indy's story more!
