Book Review:

If you love clean hockey romance with a side of suspense, you have found your next story. Don’t Cross the Blue Line is book two in the Blue Ox Boys series by Susan May Warren and Sarah May Warren. This book can be read as a standalone. This book has a lot of internal dialogue for the Main characters, and it's almost like the characters are talking to the reader, which brought a different dynamic to this story; it was unique.

The FMC, Everly, is an author. She writes under two different pen names-one for her thrillers and one for her hockey romance. Throughout the story, we get to read clips of her story, which adds a fun dynamic. Everly has a lot of issues she is dealing with. The divorce of her parents as a teen and the struggle between jockeying for attention between her father and Bensen. So, when Everly and Bensen have a meet-cute in an elevator during a storm and end up stuck in there, secrets get released. Bensen does not know that he is talking to Everly, but rather the author’s assistant, but Everly figures out who it is at the end.

The MMC Bensen is trying to find himself and overcome doping allegations. He has had a hard time with things- the death of his father at a young age, trying to live up to the hockey legacy expectations, and more. Bensen has some secrets, and one of them is his love for hockey romance, and Everly, or Sutton Blake as she goes by, is his favorite author. But that is not where this story ends. We find out the root of the doping allegations. And when another snowstorm hits Minnesota, and Everly and Bensen get locked in a mall together, they find themselves running from some bad characters.

Each layer of this story brought me something different that I was not expecting. I enjoyed this story a lot.

This enemies-to-lovers romance was perfect and sweet with kisses only. Susan and Sarah did a great job intertwining faith elements throughout the story.
