Book Review: Dirty Dare by Mira Lyn Kelly

Published October 10, 2023

I’m not usually one for second-chance romances, especially ones where someone messes up big time. In this case, I’ll make an exception. After playing his first season of professional hockey with the Chicago Slayers, Trevor heads back to his hometown. His spot on the Slayers isn’t guaranteed and his life with the Chicago farm team is rocky at best. Everything in his life is uncertain from where he’s going to be playing to where he’ll end up living. He just wants some peace and quiet. 

Of course, being a hometown hero hockey star doesn’t lend to much quiet and running into your secret ex-boyfriend, the one you were willing to dump your entire future for, doesn’t leave much room for relaxation.

Kelly managed to pack a lot of emotional angst, longing, and spice into such a short novella. You can’t help but root for them, or roll your eyes when Cam insists it’ll be okay because this relationship has a set end date and he couldn’t possibly fall and get hurt (laughs at poor, poor silly Cam). This story has all of the humor and heart as the rest of the Slayers Hockey series and is a great peek at a character we don’t actually get to see in previous books. All of that, plus no third-act breakup makes this one of my favorites in the series.

A laugh, a drunken challenge to me, captain of the guys’ hockey team, to kiss him, captain of the swim team.

It was a question I didn't even realize I'd been asking.

He became everything. My beating heart. My every thought. What I held more precious than a future I’d been sacrificing for as long as I could remember.

We ended. Without another soul ever discovering we existed to begin with.

But four years and a Slayers Hockey contract later, here I am...

Wondering if I dare to risk it all again.
