L.A. Phantoms #4
Sports Romance
February 20, 2025

Turning thirty shouldn’t be a big deal—unless you’re a minor league hockey player starting to realize the big leagues might never call. It’s a tough pill to swallow.

But then, out of nowhere, I get my shot. The L.A. Phantoms are in the playoffs for the first time in decades, and with their roster decimated by injuries, they call me up.

I’m ready to warm the bench, but with a solid season behind me, they’re willing to give me some ice time. This is the chance of a lifetime. Until she walks in.

My first love. The one I never forgot.

But dating her could risk everything we’ve both worked for.

How are we supposed to choose between the future we’ve dreamed of and the past we never let go of?

Playoff by Kat Mizera
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m relatively new to Kat Mizera’s writing and I’ve loved every single book so far, but this one was not my favorite. The whole reasoning for their breakup when they were in high school just didn’t sit well with me. I understand they were both young, but I couldn’t get past that.

When they got back together, the whole drama of her feeling like he lied again, which he didn’t if you ask me, just made me not like them as a couple that much. The whole story had potential, and I’m sure this is more of a personal issue, but unfortunately, this was just an OK read for me.
