Sports romance with suspense, drama, and passion. Long hot drawn out passion. This time its for keeps. Cedric will see to that. No more walking away for Bella.
Bella traumatic even sends her running back to Cedric. Cedric wants more and will do what he must to get more. Bella's demons are becoming too much to be hidden from her friends and family. This secret was eating the both up. There was lots of visits from other members of Bella's family and Cedric sports family. I found well defined characters. And tact given to the issues that occur within the storyline.
Body Checking was all that it promises in it blurb. Its hot, sexy, passionate. I had not experienced Jami Davenport before. I would have known to expect passion in both the words on the page and the romance that I was to experience. Delightfully delicious with a strong does of struggles and connection. Cedric and Bella come out the other side stronger for what the both have endured together.

As the wild child of
the family, Bellani Maxwell isn’t interested in settling down. Between a
fledgling party crashing business, teaching self-defense at a martial arts
studio, and hitting the bar every night, she has her hands full. She doesn’t
need the added responsibility or commitment of a relationship.
Hockey star Cedric
Pederson has all the puck bunnies he could ever want, but a chance encounter
eighteen months ago leaves him with eyes only for the gorgeous, free-spirited
Bella. Too bad she isn’t interested in what Cedric has to offer beyond frequent
hookups, and he’s grown tired of their on-again, off-again non-relationship. He
wants to be all-in or all-out.
When a brutal attack
leaves Bella in need of comfort, protection, and healing, the only person she
wants is Cedric. But once she’s living in his condo, Bella is confronted with a
decision she’s been avoiding—can she finally commit to Cedric, or will she let
him go one last time?

Birthdays
sucked.
As a child, her parents combined her Christmas and
birthday gifts, if and when they remembered to buy gifts at all. She’d learned
to keep her expectations low to curb her disappointment after too many
childhood hopes and dreams were shot down by a pair of disengaged, free-spirit
parents, who Bella had subconsciously emulated—at least, the partying part.
This year’s birthday hit her harder than usual.
Twenty-fucking-six
years old.
She’d rather curl up in bed with a box of chocolates and
an ugly cry movie than be subjected to a birthday party tonight, especially one
orchestrated by her judgmental oldest sister. Every one of her sisters had
their act together, was settled down with a wonderful man, and was looking to
the future.
Bella, instead, found herself focusing on the past and
how little she’d achieved. She was closer to thirty than twenty, and therein
lay the crux of the problem and the reason for her current crappy mood.
Bella bounced from interest to interest, never settling
on one thing. She had no direction, but that hadn’t been a big deal in her
early twenties. Now it was.
She faked a smile and cocked her head, pretending to be
captivated by whatever bullshit was being spouted by the young Seattle Sockeyes
hockey players who gathered around her, vying for her attention. Normally,
she’d be flattered and completely enjoying their efforts.
Not tonight.
She sought out Cedric in the crowd, still a little peeved
at his disappearing act with the blonde last Saturday night. In fact, as soon
as he’d slipped into the VIP room, she’d left alone.
He met her gaze, winked, and headed toward her. Her heart
skittered with excitement and her lady parts tingled with anticipation. She
fought their insane chemistry with every fiber of her being, as futile as it
was. Cedric had always been different—the way he touched her, the way he looked
at her as if she were special, the way he made her feel as if she were the only
woman who mattered. Maybe he made every woman feel like that, maybe it was part
of his allure, his charm, and maybe she was delusional for thinking she meant
anything more than a fantastic lay. Cedric had the power to ruin her, crush her
heart in his skillful hands, and blast away at her carefully constructed, and
completely fabricated, air of confidence.
He was oh, so wrong for her.
