Book 2 in the Face Off series is just as fabulous as the first book! I can't wait for the next one! While I wait, I'll just drool over the covers of Parker and Kane to fill my time. :)<br /><br />Tyler Kane is the highest paid player in the NHL and captain of the Flyers. Kennedy Lockwood is a blogger and journalist trying desperately to keep her online sports newspaper afloat. We briefly met Kennedy and Tyler in Parker's book and this picks up where that left off.<br /><br />Parker enlists Tyler's help to escort Kennedy and introduce her to all of the pro athletes for her to interview at Parker's huge event to surprise Coach. Kennedy isn't just a sports writer, she's a huge hockey fan and she's always had a bit of a crush on Tyler Kane. That is until she spoke with him. He comes across as a cocky, arrogant jerk and he ends up being nothing like she'd built up in her head.<br /><br />Tyler's intrigued by Kennedy though. She can school him on hockey stats and facts. Loves the sport almost as much as he does and doesn't care at all that he's a famous athlete. She has no problem taking him down a peg when he's being an a$$ and she takes it as well as she dishes it out. He thinks under her librarian/hobo wardrobe there's a smoking body, but Tyler looks past her unfortunate style choices and wants to get to know her better.<br /><br />In the case of both Tyler and Kennedy looks can be deceiving. Tyler is much kinder, more thoughtful and more grounded than Kennedy first thought. He has a sweet side and once he starts to open up to Kennedy, she decides that the real Tyler could be someone she'd love to spend time with.<br /><br />And Kennedy, well you'll have to read the book to find out why she's sporting a homeless chic look when she meets all of the top pro athletes in the country.<br /><br />I loved this book. Jillian Quinn writes the best bad boys. Kane is no exception, but he's also got a good heart that he keeps buried to protect himself. There's lots of sexy banter and bickering back and forth between Kane and Kennedy which adds some great laugh out loud moments and builds the sexual tension. There are lots of smokin' hot steamy scenes, including a locker room scene that may result in you needing a cold shower...<br /><br />Fun, steamy sports romance with heart. Great read! <3

<strong>Riches to rages to hAppiness</strong><br /><br />Making ones own way in life is important especially if your family just lost their fortune. As a sports reporter with a small online magazine Kennedy wants to be taken serious and make her way in the publishing field. Can she obtain this goal and not lose her credibility once she and Kane hook up?

4/5 Sterne<br />Ice Breakers - Kane<br />von Jillian Quinn<br />LYX<br />„Seid ihr bereit für Kane?<br />Tyler Kane ist der Captain der Philadelphia Flyers und seit sechs Jahren einer der erfolgreichsten Spieler in der NHL. Doch obwohl er in der Öffentlichkeit steht, gibt es Geheimnisse in seiner Vergangenheit, von denen niemand weiß und die er all die Jahre gut gehütet hat. Geheimnisse, die die kluge und ambitionierte Sportreporterin Kennedy Lockwood zu gerne aufdecken würde. Da Kane seit dem ersten Treffen von Kennedy fasziniert ist, schlägt er ihr einen Deal vor: Sie bekommt ein exklusives Interview mit ihm. Natürlich rechnet Kane fest damit, dass Kennedy ihm am Ende hoffnungslos verfallen sein wird. Doch er hätte nicht mit der starken Verbindung gerechnet, die die beiden spüren, sobald sie sich nahe sind ...<br />"Jillian Quinn hat mir mal wieder einen Book Boyfriend geliefert, in den ich mich sofort verliebt habe. Kane hat mich von der ersten Seite an gepackt." RED'S ROMANCE REVIEWS<br />Band 2 der Ice-Breakers-Reihe“<br />Ich bedanke mich bei Netgalley und dem LYX Verlag für das kostenlose Rezensionsexemplar des Buches. Ich gebe hier meine unabhängige und unbezahlte Meinung zu dem Buch ab.<br />Eine Sportromance wie sie im Buche steht? Nun ja, wir haben ein paar Attribute, die man immer wieder findet. Beide Protas bekommen beruflich miteinander zu tun, was häufig vorkommt. Beide haben ihr Päckchen zu tragen. Kennedy, in dem sie versucht irgendwie ihr Magazin und sich selbst über Wasser zu halten, da sie eigentlich mit dem goldenen Löffel im Mund geboren wurde und sich nun wieder aufrappeln muss. Ihr Vater hatte sein Imperium verloren und ihr blieb nur das Magazin und ein paar Designersachen aus der vergangenen Saison.<br />Kane hingegen ist tief verletzt über das Verhalten seiner Familie, seiner Ex und seine eigene Entscheidung, das Wichtigste in seinem Leben aufzugeben. Er geht hart mich sich ins Gericht und hadert mit seiner Entscheidung. <br />Wirklich süß fand ich, dass er eine junge Schäferhündin hatte, die auch gelegentlich zum Stimmungskiller wird aber doch einfach nur zum knutschen ist. <br />Wirklich witzig fand ich die Idee mit dem Blog, den die beiden Freundinnen schreiben und auf welche Art sie ihren Leserinnen ihre Sicht der Dinge näher bringen und wie sie es umsetzen auf deren Antworten einzugehen. Natürlich läßt sich Kane auch nicht lumpen und beteiligt sich an den Kommentaren. <br />Um den Blog interessant zu gestalten unterzieht sich Kennedy einem Alltagstest, zu dem ihre Freundin sie überedet hat und test dies auch gleich an Kane, mit eher mäßigm Erfolg, denn er will sie trotzdem.<br />Als Kennedy Kanes Geheimnis aufdeckt, verhält sie sich ausgesprochen lojal und bedenkt genau wie sie damit umgehen will.<br />Ich fand die beiden miteinander nicht nur süß, sondern sie passten einfach zusammen, selbst wenn sie zu Beginn ein paar Anlaufschwierigkeiten hatten, welche aber nicht an der gegenseitigen Anziehungskraft lagen.<br />Dennoch kam mir in der Geschichte ein bißchen wenig Emotion rüber, so dass ich sagen könnte dieses Buch hat mich vom Hocker gehauen, zum Weinen und Lachen gebracht und mich auch noch Tage danach nicht losgelassen. Dies war nicht der Fall. Es war ein gelungenes Buch in dem Genre, welches sich schnell und leicht lesen ließ, aber dennoch keinen emotionalen Ausnahmezustand bei mir hinterlassen hat.<br />Daher gebe ich sehr gute 4 Sterne.<br />#liebesroman #newadult #rezension #rezensionsexemplar #roman #bookstagram #jillianquinn #lyx_verlag #lyx #bücher #bücherliebe #booklover #reading #bookadict #icebreakers #kane #bookworm #booknerd #leseratte #bücherwurm #bookaholic #lesen #lesenmachtglücklich #instabooks #readingtime #ilovebooks #netgalley #netgalleyde #ichliebelesen #buchnerd #ichliebebücher<br />

2.5 - I enjoyed book 1, Parker, very much, but this one was really disappointing. Tyler Kane and Kennedy hook up just for fun and have earth shattering sex several times, and suddenly they live together and love each other, whenever and why ever this happened. There is hardly any chemistry, there is no story development, no tension, no conflict, no depth in the characters ... nothing! It's just boring.<br /><br />I don't know if I will give the next book another try, the upcoming heroine is the highly bitchy friend of Kennedy, who's playing around with Taylor's team mate Donovan.

If any of you have read Parker by Jillian Quinn then I’m sure you were extremely excited for Tyler Kane’s story! I was jumping up and down once I got this baby in my hands. <b>TOTALLY</b> different than Parker, but in the best way possible! Tyler is my book hubby. Yes not book boyfriend but book <b>HUBBY</b>! Hello new category :).<br /><br /><i> <b>The corner of his mouth turns up into a cocky smirk.<br /><br />“I like it when you’re mean. I’ll consider this foreplay for later.”</b> </i><br /><br />Meet the captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Tyler Kane. Hot as puck with an ego to match, Tyler is hands down a ladies man. On the outside he seems like every other young and single thriving hockey player but on the inside he is struggling with a past he can’t forget. When a sexy, quirky sports reporter walks into Tyler’s life, she starts stirring up painful memories. Kennedy Lockwood is persistent and driven and maybe the one thing Tyler needs in his life.<br /><br />Oh my goodness you guys, these freaking characters! <b>SO DANG STRONG</b>! I just love Tyler and Kennedy. Don’t even get me started on the angst, lord the angst in this book is HOT! More than any of that though, I couldn’t stop laughing in Kane. These two had me rolling with laughter and they were so stinking cute. There’s nothing better than feisty, defiant characters who have smart mouths, I just loved it all.<br /><br /><i> <b>“I write about one-night stands and every type of sexual encounter imaginable, most of which I have experienced for myself or vicariously through Sydney or our viewers. With Tyler, I want this to be right –<br /><br />no, perfect.”</b> </i><br /><br />Tyler Kane is my kind of man,<br /><br />Laugh out loud funny √<br /><br />Sweet as can be √<br /><br />Sexy as all get out √<br /><br />Dog lover √<br /><br />He has got it all ladies. His past and what he wants for his future is what really reeled me in though and I was totally a fish hanging onto his hook by the end of this book.<br /><br />Kennedy is all kinds of feisty and I loved her! She made me laugh so much, especially her and her bestie Sydney. They were hilarious and by the end of it you will want to be best friends with both of them. I loved Kennedy’s attitude and how independent she was but more than that, she loves curling up at home on a Friday night with a good book. Defiantly my kind of girl! Jillian makes such badass women characters full of independence and success that is truly admiring.<br /><br />The depth of this story is what stuck with me though, there’s nothing better than a troubled past between characters and an even more unsure future. It draws you in and sucks you right up. That’s exactly what Jillian did in Kane, she pulled on my heart strings and took me along for the ride.<br /><br /><i> <b>"I know what it’s like to have everything you love taken away from you, baby.<br /><br />Trust me.<br /><br />I have endured more heartbreak and sadness to last a lifetime.”</b> </i><br /><br />Fantastic writing, and a bunch of angst filled scenes that will have you longing for more! If you haven’t started the Face-Off Series yet then I don’t know what you are waiting for. Parker and Kane totally have my hearts and I can only imagine what the next book has in store for us readers! I can’t wait to find out :).<br /><br /><i>**Thank you so much to Jillian for providing me with a copy of KANE in exchange for an honest review.**</i><br />

I absolutely loved this book. Jillian Quinn is a wonderful writer and she really scored with this one. Kane is the story of Kennedy Lockwood and Tyler Kane. Kennedy Lockwood is a sports reporter. Her father lost all the family money including the publishing company her grandfather had built so she started her own sports paper in the internet. Tyler is the captain of the Philadelphia Flyers. They are immediately attracted to each other when they meet at a charity event where Kennedy goes to interview Tyler and several other players and basketball players. Tyler cannot get over things that have happened in his past and her lets that influence some of his personal decisions in the present. Despite all this and a rough/rocky start they grow closer together. Will he let his past come between him and Kennedy? You will need to read the book to see where Kennedy and Tyler go here. This book has twists and turns and surprises. I definitely recommend this book. I can't wait to read Jillian Quinn's next book.
