Strictly For Now
The Salinger Brothers #3
by Carrie Elks
She hates hockey. He hates everything else. And now they have to work together…
Falling flat on my back in a sweaty locker room isn’t how I planned to introduce myself to my grandpa’s hockey team. Especially when I’m there to turn the business around financially; something nobody else in the stadium seems to want.
But that’s how I first meet Eli Salinger, the team’s aggravatingly smooth player-turned-coach.
And from the moment I introduce myself to him, he makes it clear he doesn’t want me there.
It doesn’t take a genius to work out why. Eli’s only interested in one thing – turning the team into a winning side, no matter what it takes.
And he’s determined to fight every change I try to make.
What he doesn’t know is that I’ve never taken on a project that hasn’t succeeded. And I’m not about to let this be the first.
I don’t care if he’s grumpy and adorable in equal measure. Or that every time he looks at me it sends me all a flutter.
This is a game of wits. And there can be only one winner.
I’m determined it will be me.

Favorite Quotes:
I’ve seen Isabella when she wants revenge. The day I picked her up from Danny Hart’s apartment, when everything between them imploded, she poked a hole in all of his condoms and soaked them in chili juice for an hour, before drying them all off and sliding them back into the box in the bathroom cabinet. I have no idea if he used them or not, but the thought of it makes me wince.
How is it that you can get everything you want and it still feels like you’re missing something?
My Review:
Another delectable treat from the talented pen of Carrie Elks. I have giggled and gasped through every missive of hers I’ve been lucky enough to pick up. She always seems to perfectly score that magical formula of humor, sass, steam, and amusing family drama that keeps me smirking and highly entertained.
Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children, and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
