by
Killian Bosch knows he’s his own worst enemy – he just doesn’t give a damn. The star forward of a minor league hockey team, he’s unstoppable on the ice. His reckless behavior, devil-may-care attitude and complete disregard for consequences have made him a major source of headaches for the Fenway Flyers’ brass.
But the new Flyers owner is more steel than brass. Sidney Stahl ...more

FOUR SEXY SPORTS STARS.
"Even when you drive me crazy, you're the only one I want."

Short, sexy and satisfying. Brenda Rothert always hits the spot with her fantastic sports romances and 'Killian' is no exception. I love the feeling I get when a 'go to' author releases a new book and I'm proud to say that Rothert will always be on my one click radar. Read in almost one sitting this book had that unputdownable appeal that made me smile and swoon. Kudos to Mrs R for making me fall in love in les ...more

4 “Killian” Stars.
Killian is the proverbial bad-boy of hockey. He likes to play hard on the ice… and outside. When the team’s reputation starts to get bad, Sidney, the team’s new owner decides it’s time to intervene. She believes Killian, being the team captain, is the most likely to persuade the players to change their bad-boys habits so she decides to start with him.
Sid is too much of a challenge for Killian to resist, and on the other side Sid slowly starts to fall for him as well. And whe ...more

2.5 STARS

Killian Bosch is the captain of the Fenway Flyers, a minor league hockey team. On the ice he’s the best, outside he’s a ‘bad boy’ getting in fights all the time and a womanizer as well. Everything is about to change for Killian when he meets the new owner of the team. Sidney Stahl is the new owner. She’s a smart, successful, independent woman who knows what she wants. And she wants to change her new team’s image. For that to happen her players have to change their bad-boys habits. She’s ...more

☆ I received an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ! ☆
“Face the unknown. I truly believe the only reason we fail is by not trying.”
I liked Killian, I did. I just wish that the two main character’s relationship started up more slowly, at a more reasonable, realistic pace is all. Everything just developed way too fast at a rapid pace that made it feel a tad amiss.

I love a good sports romance, particularly with a sexy hockey player. I liked that this was about a minor league hockey team and that the team owner was a woman. I really wasn't crazy about Sidney or Killian and didn't feel a lot of chemistry between them but I still enjoyed this book.

4 1/2 stars.....I really needed an epilogue for this very lusty couple....

Please note this review may contain spoilers.
Sidney Stahl (love the name and from this I can hazard a guess as to what players Brenda likes) is a self-made millionaire, making her first million while in college. As a hockey fan, she has just purchased the Fenway Flyers, a minor league team with bad stats and an even worse reputation. She vows to clean up the team’s image and create a team to be reckoned with.
Her major hurdle comes in the form of Killian Bosch, the team’s captain. Sick of hearing ...more

Ok , so this might sound weird but the first adjective that came to mind when I wanted to describe this book was soothing. I was smiling through most of it . Killian and Sidney were amazing together , they were honest with each other , they acted like adults which really felt like a breath of fresh air.
Killian is a perfect hero and Sidney was an amazing heroine , I loved having the heroine be the rich ,successful and self made millionaire for a change.

4 HOT KILLIAN STARS
His sincere expression made my heart melt a little. Killian’s sweet, vulnerable side had been worth working for. His brash exterior protected something wonderful.
Before reading KILLIAN, I wasn’t familiair with Brenda Rothert. After reading Killian, I can gladly say I’m a FAN. A big fan. Even though, at first, I was afraid that I wouldn’t fully enjoy it, because KILLIAN is a shorter novel than I’m used to reading. Normally, while reading shorter novels, I find the character ...more

4.5 stars
Killian Bosch loves being the star of the minor league Fenway Flyers; although he is probably the most talented guy on the team, he remains there by choice rather than pursuing a step up the NHL teams. He has never wanted more and he has actually cultivated his bad boy image to avoid catching the eye of the big league brass in a good way.
New team owner Sidney Stahl has her work cut out for her. As a female owner in a man's world, she is going to be under plenty of scrutiny as it is, but ...more

This could have been so much more, unfortunately it wasn't. Insta-lust between the two was not believable. Sidney is a self made 20 something multi-millionaire who falls for the bad boy of minor league hockey. She then loses her ever lovin mind. For such a successful business woman, she turns into a scatter brained horndog. Killian is supposed to be an Alpha in the bedroom, but it was just kinda boring. The dirty talk was flat.

I have just recently discovered Brenda Rothert and I am quickly becoming a one click addict with her work. Killian is the first in her new On the Line series. Killian is the team captain of a minor league hockey team. The team has a new owner and a new coach and things are about to steam up real fast for Killian.
I like when the strong silent type meet their match. Killian did not have a chance once he laid eyes on Sid, the new owner. He stumbled and fell big time despite Sid's protests that sho ...more

I love Brenda Rothert’s writing and will read anything that she writs. Especially when it involves a sexy hockey player because let’s face it I am a sucker for a sexy man on skates. I was sad to see the Fire On Ice series end but so excited to find out that there would be a spin off series about the minor league team.

Killian Bosch is used to getting what he wants. Women throw themselves at him. The endless supply seems to keep him happy. Until one day, he gets a look at the hot new woman that just walked into the Hockey Arena. Turns out she is his new boss. But that doesn't seem to stop Killian. He sets his sites on Sidney Stahl and is ready to play to win.

4 Steamy Stars! This was a short, sweet, sexy story of a captain a minor hockey team that is known for his man whore ways and constantly getting into fights or being arrested for disorderly conduct and the sexy and beautiful new owner of his team. They are instantly attracted to one another but due to ethical reasons, they are restrained from pursuing that attraction.
