With 24 hours free before his next game on Christmas night, professional hockey player Becker Bell decides to hop on a plane and spend the holiday with his father in Chicago. He's disappointed when mechanical difficulties lead to a flight delay, but things start to look up when he meets Sloan Webber, who's also traveling to Chicago to spend the holidays with her family. As the delay drags on, Sloan and Becker quickly bond while exploring the airport together. Their day may have started with misfortune, but it just might end with true love.
This story was so much fun! Becker and Sloan were so comfortable with each other that it seemed like they had already been a couple for years. I loved the way they bantered and teased each other, especially in regards to the rivalry between Becker's team, the Florida Glaze, and Sloan's favorite hockey team, the Chicago Blaze. In addition, I enjoyed the many laugh-out-loud moments in this story, particularly Sloan and Becker's contrasting experiences navigating airport security and the way both of their fantasies of hooking up in the airport ended in disaster. That alone was enough to prove how perfect they were for each other!
Overall, I adored "Open Fire" and highly recommend it for all contemporary/sports romance fans. I look forward to the next book in the series.

About "Open Fire"
His chestnuts will be roasting…
With just 24 hours to hang out with his dad, Becker Bell is determined to get home for Christmas. Things aren’t looking promising. Multiple delays are making it harder than necessary to get where he needs to be, leaving him frustrated and even worse… bored. That is, until a scattered redhead is knocked right off her feet in front of him.
Sloan Webster just wants to be with her family for the holidays. However, between security mishaps and several hours’ worth of delays, it seems the universe is against her. But when an unexpected good Samaritan offers his assistance, things begin looking up.
Maybe there’s time for a Christmas miracle after all…
