NHL defenseman Randy Michaels needs to revamp his reputation to prolong his career. He invests in a restaurant and becomes interested in the chef, Alyssa Harris.
Lisa B. Kamps’ Body Check is an entertaining and enjoyable read.
I liked Alyssa. Some of her food creations sounded delicious, making my mouth water. I liked that she was open to trying Randy’s suggestions even though he does not have a culinary background. I also found her first hockey game experience amusing; not to mention, Randy’s “hockey lessons” after the game.
I enjoyed Randy’s character. He grew a lot throughout the story. I was not, however, a fan of Randy’s agent.
The plot was well-written and believable. The characters have their difficulties. I thought it was interesting that the restaurant’s business plan did not quite end up as the women envisioned. I appreciated the epilogue; it was a fun conclusion.
