Posted on February 17, 2020 by Nadene @ Totally Addicted to Reading in Reviews / 0 Comments



Defenseless Hearts by Mika Jolie is the second book in the Playing for Keeps series. This installment features River Baldwin. I first met him in book one (Intercepted Hearts), which featured his twin brother. Unlike his twin who was a NFL player River was a star hockey player. Considered a bad boy by the media, which was the complete opposite of his twin. When a scandal threatened to derail his career, his agent brought out the big guns, by hiring a PR consultant to clean up his image.

Samantha Loren, PR consultant to the stars was not looking forward to her new assignment of cleaning up Riverโ€™s image. She believes he is an entitled prick, but she had a job to do. Having been burnt in the past by a pro-athlete and former client, she was determined not to fall under River Baldwinโ€™s spell.

The connection between them could not be denied. From the moment they met sparks flew, but their preconceived notions of each other threatened to extinguish said sparks.

I loved both River and Sam as individuals and as a couple. To the media and the public, River appeared to be a bad boy, but in reality he was a man with a good heart. He was a person who didnโ€™t care what people thought of him.

Samantha is smart, strong willed and driven. She displayed a tough as nails demeanour, but beneath those layers was a woman who feared risking her.

The romance featured here was sweet with a lot of sizzle. However, it was not without its challenges. The media and Samanthaโ€™s fears proved a threat.

Once again, Mika Jolie did not disappoint. She created a heart-warming story about two people who had to fight against the odds to be together.ย  A short and fast paced read, that had me turning the pages. Despite the brevity, Defenseless Hearts packed a punch. It shows that love has the power to melt even the coldest of hearts.

Conclusion/Recommendation.
I had a good time with this story. Fans of sports romance, featuring a sexy hockey player and a tough as nails heroine will love Defenseless Hearts.
