The Play-by-Play series has come a very long way since the first book in the series. Beginning as an erotic romance series, I feel like it's become much more about contemporary romance, which isn't a bad thing at all. I used to see these books as one-night-stand reads because they were quick and fun reads, but Jaci Burton has injected this series with much more heart over the course of the series and has made it much more stronger.

SHOT ON GOLD is book fourteen in the Play-by-Play series. You don't need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this one. SHOT ON GOLD features hockey as the main sport and even better is the fact that it features the Winter Olympics. I really enjoyed this concept since I think it brought the main sport to the forefront of the book. There's a real focus on hockey and the Olympics, which is important to me. I don't like it when sport romances feature athletes but don't actually show them playing the sport in the book. Burton doesn't cut any corners here and delivers a fabulous read for her readers.

The heroine is a figure skater and this sport also gets a lot of attention. Once again, I commend an author who has done her research and deliver details that make the sport unique.

Along with the intricate sports details, there is also a strong romance between Will and Amber. I loved seeing their romance grow during the course of the book and felt like their chemistry bloomed at a believable rate.

This series continues to be a favorite one of mine and I look forward to seeing what Jaci Burton has planned next!
