Red Rocket is the third installment in the Vegas Crush series by Brit DeMille aka Raine Miller. I'm a huge fan of sports romance books in general - but the hockey ones are my absolute favorites. I've read and loved everything this fantastic and versatile author has ever written - from her amazing historicals to her famous contemporary romance series. Red Rocket was another winner by Brit DeMille. I was highly entertained by the well-paced, engaging plot and great dialogue and totally enchanted b

Red Rocket is book three in the Vegas Crush series and can be read as a standalone, but totally think it should be from the start, simply because the stories before this were just as amazing as this, But I have to say Viktor and Scarlett's story would have to be my favorite of the series so far.

I'm a die hard Raine Miller fan for years. She's one of the most talented and versatile authors in this business. Whatever she writes turns into pure gold. No matter if it's contemporary romance, historicals or hockey romance she always manages to put me under her spell.
Having loved the previous two books in the Vegas Crush series, I couldn't wait to dive into Red Rocket. Especially after Raine gave us a hint about whom this story will be about. My excitement was frankly speaking as huge as my ...more

Well I loved Red Rocket! Viktor and Scarlett's story was just as amazing as the other two stories in the series, a little more so I think because Scarlett's past really touched my heart.
As always, Raine wrote an entertaining and heartfelt story that kept me engrossed from the beginning to the last page. I was so invested in Viktor and Scarlett, rooting for them the whole way. Would these two unlikely people find a way to build a future together? Viktor comes across to the world as an iron machi ...more

Red Rocket is book 3 in the Vegas Crush Hockey Series but like the previous books it can certainly be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone although I’m sure once you get a taste these extremely hot and caring players you will want to read the previous books.

My review is for an ARC of Red Rocket.
AMAZING!!!!!! again Raine Miller writing as Brit Brit Demille was spectacular read, sexy and you really fall in love with the characters.
From the start I was totally swept in the hockey world and meet Viktor the Mad Russian hockey player at Crush Hockey team in Las Vegas, his accent, sexy man will captivate you from the start.

Absolutely loved the story of Viktor and Scarlett. I connected immediately with the characters and found myself immediately hooked despite the fact that I don't understand a bit of hockey. And that is find you don't have to, to enjoy this great book. This is my favorite in the series so far. I just fell in love with both characters. Scarlett, a hard-working woman who has been through a lot in her life, a survivor and a fighter. Viktor, I could totally see his soft side when it came to Scarlett.

OK well the amazing Raine Miller writing as Brit Demille did it once again, she delivered another great love story with Red Rocket. I was so looking forward to this as I have a love for hockey and Raine Miller truly knows how to mix business and pleasure within the hockey world particularly in the Crush hockey team in Las Vegas.

5 star Review Red Rocket (Vegas Crush #3) by Brit DeMille
The third book in the series and can definitely be read as a stand alone, although since this is only the third book, why not one click the first two as well.
Viktor Demoskev, what a hot and sexy hockey player this man is. I think I may have a new crush, he really ticked the boxes for me and the woman that tamed him, Scarlett Woods was the perfect partner for him.
I loved everything about Viktor and Scarlett, both separately and together. ...more

I was super excited to read Red Rocket. I've read all of Raine's Blackstone books, so I had a high expectation with this series. I was not disappointed. This book can be read as a standalone or in order with the other books in the series. You are given enough backstory for the other characters that you don't feel like you are missing information.

Raine Miller writing as Brit DeMille!!! This story had it all, romance, humor, and steam all mixed among some emotional scenes! Scarlett is a strong, feisty, independent woman, while Viktor at first appears to be a stoic, extremely no nonsense hockey player. Scarlett cracks his shell and their humorous encounters turn into more pretty quickly! I loved how they started out flirty, which led to a steamy connection, but they then realized there was more to explore to take it to the next level! The

Scarlett Woods a smart and beautiful young women who has unfortunately had to deal with some rather horrible situations, and learn to only depend on herself.

Author Raine Miller aka Brit DeMille is on fire with these hockey romances!
Just when I thought I had a favorite in her Vegas Crush series, Viktor and Scarlett's story won me over just like the rest and had me swooning hard.

Scarlett brings out the soft swoony side of Viktor that had me falling head over my hockey skates in love for him.

Well well well, our Mad Russian Viktor may be that on the ice, but he’s a tiger between the sheets and a pussy cat when it comes to Scarlett.
Viktor and Scarletts chemistry is instantaneous and no amount of ice is going to cool them down. Fraternisation Policy be damned.
You can just picture the big gorgeous Russian with his broken English trying to get across what he means and having a smile on your face while you do. Then there’s Scarlett, she’s had it tough but she is fun loving and quite the ...more

Red Rocket is so far the steamiest romance in Crush series. Viktor is coldhearted bastard, which does´t care about anything, except hockey. He doesn´t pose for fans, he isn´t polite to other player, he beat the shit of his opponents on ice. The transfer to Crush team softened little his hard egdes on ice, but still he is pretty scary.
Scarlett works in PR and knows, that the affair with the hockey player could cost her the job. And she has also her dark secret from past, who can destroy her futu ...more

Once again, Brit DeMille has scorched the ice right off the Vegas Crush ice rink! Viktor and Scarlett, his Red Rocket, have a blazing romance with a bit of mystery woven in. Not only do you get to see some of the Vegas sights, you also get a glimpse of Russia! And catch up on previous characters to see how they are doing and meeting some new ones, who I hope will get their own story someday (Daisy… will it be Sid or could it be the Lothario Tyler?) You do not want to miss this sexy adventure for

I don’t often read sports romance but when I heard Raine Miller was writing a hockey themed romance as Brit Demille I jumped at the chance to get on that one. As a Canadian, hockey is part of my blood and I thoroughly enjoyed Raine’s take on the NHL with Russian comrades all playing for the same Las Vegas team.
Viktor and Scarlett may be from different worlds but now that their lives are revolving in the same circles, life is throwing them together. Scarlett isn’t looking for a man, she has her g ...more

My review is for an ARC of Red Rocket.
I accidentally found the Vegas Crush series and have fallen more in love with the characters with each new novel. I am a huge fan of ALL of Raine’s books but her series as Brit are even better, if that’s possible! Not only are you going to want to watch the actual Golden Knights play all season (the NHL team that resides in Vegas), you might find yourself looking for our sassy red head in the stands. Viktor and Scarlett are both amazing characters that have ...more

Scarlett seemed to know what she wanted in life, she could hold her own when it came to certain things. Viktor is her weakness!

What an Amazing ride!!! This book has scored the ultimate goal.I really loved the heroine...Scarlett is feisty and outgoing but at the same time a girl next door at heart.

The third book in this series and not disappointed. Meet Victor and Scarlett. He’s the Mad Russian. She’s the Red Rocket. He wants her from the moment he sees her. She’s more reluctant to give into her wants for him.

I love sports stories, and I loved Red Rocket. I enjoyed the first 2 books in the Vegas Crush series, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on #3, because I was curious about Viktor. We met him in the previous books, and he always got the "bad guy" part, he was the "Mad Russian" after all, so I was quite keen on getting to know him better. As for Scarlett, I also felt some kind of negative vibe from her so far. Red Rocket changed all that. Viktor is not the usual joc ...more

A combination of hockey and a steamy romance is right up my alley! I loved Viktor and Scarlett. They seemed like total opposites but the two of them together were combustible!

Viktor the oh so big Russian we've been waiting to meet and Scarlett the gorgeous adorable girl who gets to sample the whole package and what a package!!!

Raine Miller has been reading romance novels since she picked up that first Barbara Cartland book at the tender age of thirteen. And it's a safe bet she'll never stop, because now she writes them too! Granted Raine's stories are edgy enough to turn Ms. Cartland in her grave, but to her way of thinking, a hot, sexy hero never goes out of fashion. A former teacher, she's now writing sexy romance sto
