Hockey players are off limits...especially if they're on your brothers' team.
The last time Jordan did that, it ended in disaster. It was easy to promise her brothers she'd never date another one of their teammates again.
Until she meets Jake.
The spark she feels when she spends time with him makes her promise harder and harder to keep.
Surely her brothers would understand breaking this promise if it means following her heart.
Wouldn't they?
Never sleep with a teammate's sister.
This is the universal rule of athletes everywhere.
Until he meets Jordan.
As soon as Jake sets eyes on her, he wants her.
The goalie's job is to see missed shots and failed opportunities on the ice.
This is one shot he's not going to miss, no matter what obstacles get in his way.
POWER PLAY is a flirty, swoon worthy sexy rom-com and the first book in the BTU Alumni series. It can be read as a stand alone. If you like hockey boys, sarcastic friends, matchmaking K9’s, too-cute-to-handle kindergarteners, fierce heroines and swoony hot as puck Alpha heroes, then you want to get to know these cast of characters. One puck head and a HEA guaranteed.

Power Play is not only the first novel in the BTU Alumni series, but Alley Ciz's debut novel. I love a sports romance, especially those written around college age, and I was drawn to the synopsis of Power Play and it didn't disappoint.
Power Play is an emotional and sweet story, with equal parts heat, heart and humor, with a touch of drama and suspense that keeps you completely captivated from start to finish.
I love a title with strong themes of family and friendship and that's what Alley delivers with Power Play. Jordan and Jake both have enviable relationships with their siblings. The banter Jordan shares with her brothers is witty, sassy and fun, with humor that will have you laughing out loud.
Jake is such a swoony hero. He a team mate and close friend of Jordan's brother's and is considered off limits as the team goalie, but this pair are inexplicably drawn to each other. He's such a down to earth, kind, caring guy you can't help but love this character.
Jordan is my kind of heroine, strong, sassy, fierce and not afraid to stand up for herself. She's intelligent, and doesn't back down from a challenge.
This title is told in a dual point of view, and at points the story overlaps, often I can find this to be quite frustrating and it can feel repetitive. Alley has succeeded in crafting the story from different perspectives so that the information feels completely different and unique and it really works.
I adored the secondary characters, that were introduced in Power Play, who are not only endearing but captivating and fun and their banter throughout is witty and fun, and I will be looking forward to the next addition to BTU Alumni!
