EDGE (Fire on Ice #3) by BRENDA ROTHERT
31 May, 2014
One bad hit has left the career of young NHL Center Luke Hudson in question. When he arrives for rehab with a minor league team, his injury has robbed him of the edge that made him great.
Team trainer Adella Price’s job is to help Luke get back in peak condition. But their one on one sessions shake her resolve to remain unattached. Dell is hands-off to all hockey players, even one as charming and successful as Luke.
As Luke starts to get ahold of his game again, he loses his grip on his heart. Helping Luke get his edge back brings to light what Dell is missing from her life. But those who want them apart are relentless, and with their careers on the line, Luke and Dell must decide if their love is worth risking it all.

I love this series. What’s not to love? Fierce, gorgeous, Hockey heartthrobs, fun camaraderie and banter between the players, mix it up with a good dose of heat, heart, great characters and heart-warming, swoony romance…..and …like I said, what’s not to love?
It would take a very special woman indeed to pin down playboy Luke Hudson, and when Luke sent down to a Minor League team to train and recuperate from a knee injury sustained during a game, little did he know he would gain so much more than just a chance to get back in shape and re-join his team in the major leagues, he may even lose his heart in the process.
“But love is more than a word. It’s the action we take every day. Just like I’ll be faithful to you. I have to stand up for you. I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t. – Luke
Team Trainer Adella Price may just be that woman, but Dell has put her life on hold for the last 5 years to singlehandedly raise up her gorgeous son Kyler, with the help of her sassy and good friend Sadie that is, and any man wanting to steal Dell’s heart would have to steal Kyler’s as well. I loved Dell. She was such a beautiful, warm character and it’s easy to see why Luke was smitten with her.
“Help me…I’ve never done this.”
“You’re doing amazing.”
I enjoyed watching Luke and Dell’s relationship develop at a steady pace and despite the intense passion and chemistry between them, it never felt rushed. These two sizzled and who knew Luke was such a dirty talker….pass the fan!
Edge certainly had the heat factor, swoon factor and romance going on, but it is the warmth and development of the relationships as a whole that keeps me coming back to this series. Watching these tough as nails Hockey players break down their defences wins me over every time and interactions between Kyler and Luke completely melted my heart.
Catching up with Ryke and Kate was like checking in on old friends and once again, the banter between Ryke and Luke was priceless. No way was Ryke going to miss an opportunity to give Luke a ribbing over his feelings.
“I’ve never, ever seen you like this over a woman. I thought you were gonna call her poopsie or some shit and rub noses with her.” – Ryke
Whilst Bound and Captive remain my favourite of the series so far, Edge didn’t disappoint. Brenda Rothert once again served us up a Hockey themed story with plenty of passion and a good helping of swoon. Just what is it about these Hockey players? Hmm silly question!
