Maeve Carter, Boston Bucks’ team physiotherapist, is the definition of beautiful.
As a former model, her stunning looks have defined her—just ask the paparazzi or the stalker who made her life miserable.
But I see more. Want more. And she can never know that.
You see, she’s my oldest teammate’s daughter, and I can’t touch that with a ten-foot hockey stick.
Until a single mistake puts her in my bed, turning everything upside down.
You know what they say about the best laid plans—pun intended.
I should walk away. I need to walk away. Except now that I have her where I’ve always wanted her, I’m hooked…hard.
But then we have to fake a relationship to appease my meddling mother. Only problem is, I don’t want to fake it anymore.
What do you think I should do about that?

REVIEW:HOOK EM HARD by Cathryn Fox is a contemporary, adult, erotic, hockey romance set in the author’s Boston Bucks Hockey, and the sixth instalment in the multi-authored BANG BROTHERS series. This is team physiotherapist and former model Maeve Rose Carter, and player Tanner Bang’s story line. HOOK EM HARD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Maeve is the daughter of Boston Bucks player Felix Carter and his wife Hannah.
NOTE: The overall premise of the BANG BROTHERS series focuses on a series of letters written by Stella Bang to her late friend Diane, as she sets into motion a plan to see all of her children married and happy.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Maeve and Tanner) HOOK EM HARD follows the friends to lovers / fake relationship between our story line couple. Maeve Carter is the Boston Buck’s team physiotherapist, and the daughter of Tanner’s oldest teammate Felix Carter . Maeve has a stalker, a former boyfriend who has targeted our story line heroine in the past,but someone else is determined to destroy our story line couple, one betrayal at a time. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Tanner and Maeve, and the potential fall-out as another possible stalker has taken aim at our story line heroine.
The world building focuses on family, friendships, betrayal and moving forward. Maeve continues to struggle with the demons from her past but the demons have returned under the guise of someone else. In an effort to keep their relationship a secret, and allow Tanner to protect our story line heroine, Maeve and Tanner devise an explanation about a fake relationship to avoid further complications from family and friends.
The relationship between Maeve and Tanner is a friends to lovers, fake relationship. Tanner plays on the same team as Maeve’s father, and everyone is aware of what happened in the past. Maeve is off limits but Tanner is desperate to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. Someone else is determined to break our story line heroine, taking aim when she is most vulnerable and alone. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including Stella and Lars Bang: Felix and Hannah Carter; Maeve’s best friend Kate; several members of the Boston Bucks Hockey team, and their significant others.
HOOK EM HARD is a story of betrayal, jealousy and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is dramatic and compelling; the romance is seductive ; the characters are dynamic, charismatic and lively.
