The first book that I read by author Brenda Rothert was BOUND, from her Fire on Ice series, and it's still one of my favorites of hers. The books in her current series revolve around hockey, as well, and I've really enjoyed the members of the Chicago Blaze and their stories, and I think that KIT might just be near the top of the list. There's just the right amount of angst in KIT, and the back stories of both Kit and Molly were well developed without being overwhelming. Brenda presents the unfolding relationship between the two of them nicely, and I love that she's written Molly as a career woman who is strong and self-reliant, at least on the surface. But there's more to her than this, and to Kit, and watching them work through their issues to get to know themselves makes their journey to each other that much more fulfilling. The only thing that I didn't love about this book is the way that it ended. I am a sucker for the 'ever after' part of things, and, while I understand why Brenda ended the story the way that she did, I would have loved to have had an epilogue that gave us just a bit more. KIT was, I think, supposed to be the end of the series, but since there's at least one more book, I'm hoping that we'll see more of Kit and Molly in the future, and can see where their journey has taken them. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed Kit's and Molly's book, and think that lovers of sports romance will, as well. Take your place in the Chicago Blaze fan club and enjoy. ❤️

Kit (Chicago Blaze #8) is a book with all the feels and if you love hockey romance or love stories this book should certainly be on your radar. This is Kit Carter and Molly Lynch’s journey and their story captivated me from the first page to the last line, it’s a quick read but it still packs a mighty punch and it can certainly be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. Molly is a local journalist trying to make it to her dream position so she takes every assignment given to her, she does her best with every story but this one is bit different for this investigative reporter this is a story about a local hockey player but like all good investigators Molly is determined to see the real man not just the man the fans see. Kit is not looking forward to this interview because memories from the past need to stay in the past but the more time he spends with the stunning, shy Molly the more he wants to open up and give her everything about the man who left his past behind when he moved to Chicago...... This is romance was never going to be easy, Molly wants her life to be predictable and she doesn’t want to live in the limelight but how does that work when the man she is falling for gets recognised wherever he goes. I fell hard and fast for Kit Carter and I adored the shy Molly Lynch, the chemistry they share is sizzling and the banter is witty but it was the raw emotion that took this book to another level for me, so I guess all i need to say is please one click this gem.

4.5 star Review Kit (Chicago Blaze #8) by Brenda Rothert From start to finish Brenda Rothert drew me in and had me invested with the story she wove about offensive lineman Kit Carter and Molly Lynch. This is the eighth book in the Chicago Blaze Hockey Romance series and was a good addition to one of my all time favourite hockey series. Although Kit is not a particularly long book, Ms.Rothert certainly packed quite a punch with this story. When Molly, a local journalist is tasked with writing a story on Kit, neither of them have no idea what is in store for them. Kit is one of the good guys, but he has his secrets and as Molly digs deeper, he has concerns that his darkest secret will be revealed. However the attraction that sizzles between Kit and Molly is hard to resist and once the story is filed Kit finally convinces Molly to take a chance and go on a date with him. Molly is such a shy, socially awkward woman who doesn’t feel that she deserves Kit and cannot see where she can fit into his life. However, Kit has fallen hard for Molly and he is determined to show her how good they are together. The banter was witter and I loved how snarky Molly could be on occasion. This one was also emotional as Kit confronts his past and shares with Molly all that he has been through. I applaud Ms.Rothert for her handling of such a horrendous subject, she handled it with dignity and respect and I applaud her willingness to discuss such subjects.
