Devon Canton and his two brothers use to be the talk of the NHL. Set to become the next superstars of the sport, they had lucrative contracts and numerous endorsements within their reach. Then the bottom fell out of their world and everything changed. Now struggling to make ends meet, they have been reduced to playing in the minor leagues. To make matters worse they all end up playing for the same dead-end team, the Battle Creek Hawks. Not only hasn't the team won a game in three years, but the arena is falling down around them and in danger of being condemned. Then Devon and his brothers hit a new low when they get thrown out of their first game for getting into a knockdown, drag out brawl…with each other.
Battle Creek Times sports reporter, Saul Davis, knows the instant he see the three brothers beating the snot out of each other that he has a story. It only takes a little digging to find out how far the once promising hockey players have fallen. Intrigued, Saul tries to pin down Devon for an interview, only to be rudely rebuked. Unfortunately, for Devon, that only makes Saul more determined to get to the bottom of the story.
Then Saul finds out a shocking revelation about the brooding hockey player that could not only destroy the man's reputation, but also ruin any chance of him ever playing on the professional level again. Saul knows he should go ahead and run the story, but as he finds himself growing closer to Devon, he discovers that his feelings for the other man are too strong to ignore. Then when a rival reporter finds out Devon's secret, Saul realizes that he may have to make the most painful decision of all—his own journalism career or Devon.
Offside Pass Blue Line Hockey Book 1 edition by Stephani Hecht Romance eBooks
Rating: 2.5 starsI took a chance on this book even though I’m not big on hockey. Funny enough the hockey part was the best part of the book. I usually don’t care about the believability of a story, but this one was just too much for me. I didn’t buy into Devon and Saul’s relationship at all. They didn’t even get together until 80% into the story and when they did I didn’t feel the chemistry at all. The back story with the brothers was interesting, but then there was the ending. It was too convenient and not at all believable. So while the story kept me interested enough to finish it, it wasn’t that great.

Offside Pass Blue Line Hockey Book 1 edition by Stephani Hecht Romance eBooks Reviews
When Devon and his brothers pull up to the run down arena that is the home of their latest hockey team, the Battle Creek Hawks, they know it's their last opportunity to keep doing the only thing they know how to do - play hockey. The brothers had been poised on the brink of sports superstardom but with the death of, first their father five years previously, and then their mother a year ago, their antics and on ice brawling landed them in the bottom of the barrel minor league team that hadn't won a game in three years. And no wonder with a team that was more interested in playing as individuals and an ineffectual and apathetic coach who had lost all control of his team.
I really liked the banter between Devon and Saul in their first couple of encounters. There was some good humour in the beginning that promised to make for an entertaining read. I loved the premise and the chemistry of the MCs, unfortunately what could have been a great story didn't end up realising its full potential and fell short of the mark. It was too short, leaving both the plot and the characters underdeveloped. Most of the problems could have been sorted with some good editing.

This book was a nice introduction to the series. The series features hockey players (I know nothing about hockey but that doesn't matter). This book introduces the Canton brothers, the bad boys of hockey, who are relegated to playing low grade due to their bad behaviour.
The romance in this story is between Devon and Saul. Saul is a local sports reporter who starts to investigate the background of the brothers and the mystery surrounding their upbringing and what ultimately lead to their downfall from the NHL. Devon, tries to avoid Saul for fear of family secrets being revealed.
Not too heavy with nice characters.
Offside Pass is the story of Devon, a hot hockey player who's been relegated to playing in the bottom of the barrel hockey league, and Saul, a sports reporter who knows nothing about sports...
Devon and two of his three brothers are hockey players who are constantly brawling on the ice. Devon's twin brother Chad is straight (and married), and their baby brother Trey is also gay. The fourth brother, Brock, is a drug addict who is estranged from the family. We learn he was also a hockey player until he was injured.
As the story opens, Devon, Chad, and Trey are headed into the arena of the newest team they've just been traded to. The team is last in the league and the arena looks like it hasn't seen maintenance in years. When they started out, the brothers were hockey superstars, but there was an incident that has caused them to spiral downward to where they are now - their last chance.
Saul has just taken a job as a sports reporter for the local newspaper, the only problem is he doesn't know anything about sports! He falls for Devon - hard. Devon is attracted but tries to stay away because Saul is a reporter and he can't risk the family secret getting out. But Saul knows something's not right, does a little investigating, and pieces the story together.
Offside Pass was a quick, sweet read. I'm not used to short stories, so the pacing was a bit fast for me, but within the story the romance between Saul and Devon was tender and simmered through most of the story, culminating in a hot, steamy release. I loved that the big hockey player was so affected by Saul. I also liked Devon's brothers, Trey and Chad, and hope Trey's story is next. The brother's constant brawling was pretty entertaining, and I liked the hockey players as they got used to the brothers and started winning games.
On a side note, this book could have used more editing - there were quite a few typos.
Rating 2.5 stars
