Easton:

Hockey isn't forever.

The money, excitement, and glory of being a professional hockey player meant more to me than a family, a home, and a forever. Another man has my forever, and I have hockey. I thought making the big bucks and playing against the best in the world would feel better than this. Instead, I'm empty and hollow, like a big piece of my heart was hacked off. There's something missing. Something big. Something I can never get back.

Caroline:

I loved him, but he wasn't the love of my life.

My husband died too young, too suddenly, too tragically. I was unprepared with no education, no job skills, and no future plans. When a DNA test reveals my twins' true parentage, I have no choice but to do the right thing. I turn to the one man who'd turned his back on me all those years ago.

I'd been shutout from his life, and I'd shut him out from mine. Can two strangers make a family? Do we have what it takes to forgive and move on?

Shutout: A Seattle Sockeyes Novel by Jami Davenport
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Easton knows he is missing something. He can feel his life is off. He should be elated to be part of a great NHL team, and instead he is wondering what if. Then he gets the bombshell of his life.

Caroline is scared out of her mind to see Easton again. She has to give up a part of herself and it already hurts. The memories still haunt her when she thinks of them. Can they learn to put the past behind them for the greater good?

This book is one of the reasons why I keep reading all that this author has to offer. Such deep and emotion filled characters that are a joy to read. With a rich and interesting storyline this is a good read.

Melody Heck Gatto’s SHUTOUT is a heartwarming story and wonderful addition to the Renegades series. Goalie Dominic Zanetti has only ever loved his high school girlfriend, Hailee Valentine.  He is still confused to why she broke things off with him.  They are reunited in a different county three years later, and he is determined to win her back. This contemporary sports romance takes place in Pittsburgh and Vaughn, Ontario.  It is suitable for new adults and adult audiences.

Melody Heck Gatto does a great job with her character development.  Hailee is a likeable heroine.  She is an aspiring artist and art gallery owner who is determined to make it on her own.  She does not want to be a kept woman.  I like that her tattoos are designed by her.  Dom has always loved Hailee.  He was heartbroken and confused when she broke up with him.  He is a great guy with a big heart.  Okay maybe he’s not a great guy to the puck bunnies, but whatever; they got what they wanted from him.  I love how persistent he is with Hailee.

I love both Hailee’s Canadian (Mia) and U.S. (Alison) BFFs.  They both tell it as it is and not what she wants to hear.  They know her better than she knows herself.  They care about her and want what is best for her.

I appreciated that Tyler Kidd’s and Paige Martin’s from book three, PLAYING THE GAME wedding was in this story.  That made some interesting scenarios in the novel with both the bachelor party and wedding.  Plus, it was a nice tie-in to the earlier book. 

I enjoyed the plot.  I thought it was clever how Dom and Hailee are reunited.  I love that this couple gets a second chance. They have multiple obstacles to overcome.  I like that the misconception that tore them apart is cleared up.  I like how Hailee apologizes at the end of the story.  It was a cute ending. Melody Heck Gatto’s SHUTOUT was an excellent addition to the Renegades series.  I’m looking forward to reading what she comes up with next.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
