Mike Stewart is a bad boy.Sleeping around. Boozing. Fighting with teammates.
Name a bad behavior and he’s done it—done it so well, in fact, that he almost tanked his career as a starting defensemen for the NHL’s San Francisco Gold.
But Mike is done with all that. He’s starting with a fresh foot forward and putting his past behind him.
That is, until his past quite literally reappears before his eyes.
Sara Jetty is just as beautiful as she was a decade before, but Mike hasn’t seen her since she left for her first Olympics and scored a gold medal in women’s figure skating. Now something has put shadows in her eyes, a familiar type of hurt he is all too well versed in.
This Sara wants nothing to do with him. Their easy friendship is gone and in its place is a hardened woman who’s nothing like the girl from his past.
Still, Mike hasn’t become a top defensemen in the NHL by being afraid of hard work, and he isn’t about to let Sara push him away. Come hell or high water, he’s going to crack her tough outer shell and find the sweet, innocent woman he’s lusted after and loved, in equal measure, for more than ten years.

“Second chance, 5 star”
Growing
up, Mike and Sara were close. From the same town and both partaking in
sports involving ice, they spent a lot of time together. They fell for
each other but never got to act on it before life went crazy and they
got separated.
When Mike first saw Sara after a
decade he couldn't believe his eyes. She had been pretty as a teacher
but was perfect as a woman. Sara had always been the apple of his eye
and he's not willing to let her go, no matter what secrets she keeps.
Sara
fell from grace a decade ago and lost everything and everyone she
loved. Since then life hasn’t been easy. But that's about to change when Mike
reappears in her life. Will she be able to handle the media circus?
Mike
and Sara have an uphill battle to defeat before the happily ever after
starts. Can they ride it out? And will Mike be able to handle the
danger Sara is in?
The secondary characters are awesome and help shape the story. Brit was probably my favorite.
Backhand is a fast paced romance with a great balance
between hockey and romance. You cant help but cheer on Mike and Sara.
Here are a couple lines from Backhand that I
enjoyed;
“And he shut up because what was he going to say ? He’d read a romance novel to try and win her over? Yeah, not happening.”
“
That’s love . You put the other person’s feelings first,” Brit said .
“So don’t bother martyring yourself when it will only piss off your
woman.”
“He was huge, his hand spanning the width
of her thigh easily, and just the kind of man she liked. Big and strong,
tall and wide-shouldered. Here was a man who could do all the clichés:
protect her, shelter her, weather proverbial storms.”
Star Ratings:
Plot- 5/5
Characters- 5/5
Heat- 4/5
Writing style- 5/5
Overall- 5/5
“I’ve had enough serious for a while. Let’s stick with fun.”
“Fun as in you teasing me?”
She shrugged and got out. “Yes, that works.”
“Or fun as in sexy naked time?” he asked, getting out of his own side and looking over the top of the car at her. The garage was dark, except for the faint light coming from the opener above their heads.
He was gorgeous, as in he literally took her breath away, all planes of hard lines softened by his five o’clock shadow and plump lips.
She wanted to sketch him.
She wanted to f*ck him more.
Aside from writing bestselling romances, Elise's passions are chocolate, Star Wars, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team, the Sharks, are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise is the mom to exuberant boys and is thoroughly addicted to Dancing with the Stars.
