Returning home from a night out with his teammates, professional hockey player Kane Andrews is surprised to find his sister Heather's best friend, Emmersyn Houghton, waiting on his doorstep. Heather put her on a plane to Kane's home in Las Vegas because she needed a safe place to stay after a traumatic breakup, but that's only the first part of the plan. What Emmersyn really needs is a husband so that she can access her trust fund, so Heather suggests a temporary marriage of convenience between her brother and her best friend. For Kane, there's nothing to lose by going along with his sister's scheme. His ex-wife broke his heart when she left him three years ago and he's sure he'll never fall in love again. It's a different scenario for Emmersyn, who's had a crush on Kane for years; the last thing she needs is another heartbreak after what she's just gone through with her ex. Against all odds, will these two wounded souls find what they need in each other?
Like the earlier books in this series, "Goal Chaser" gave me all the feels and I loved it! I couldn't help but empathize with everything Emmersyn had gone through with her parents and ex-fiance, which really took a toll on her self-esteem. Kane was in a tough spot too, still reeling from his divorce and convinced that he'd driven his ex-wife away because of his focus on his career. Emmersyn was the first person who'd attracted him since his divorce, and even though he was afraid of hurting her, he couldn't help but follow his feelings. Their relationship turned out to be exactly what they each needed to heal, and I was rooting for them the whole way.
I highly recommend "Goal Chaser" for all contemporary/sports romance fans and look forward to the next book in the series.

About "Goal Chaser"
When my ex-wife walked out our door, she didn't just take her belongings with her, she took my heart.
So when my sister's best friend needs help and they decide a fake marriage is the best way to save her, I volunteer.
I've had no interest in relationships since my divorce. No interest in women. I will never fall in love again... so what's the harm?
A few months of living together and we go our separate ways.
At least that's what I thought.
Turns out, when it comes to love and women, I'm wrong about a lot of things.
