She starts her new job as an NHL team reporter But she s in for a big surprise when she finds out Maddox is the head coach of that team These two had such an undeniable pull towards each other They were both dealing with their own personal struggles but they couldn t resist each other We see Bristol trying to move forward after wasting so much time on someone who didn t care about her We see Maddox adjusting to being a head coach after a career ending injury I loved seeing Maddox break down the walls that Bristol had put up to protect herself Maddox treated her with such love and respect that she deserved He was so protective of her There was some seriously steamy times happening too I could definitely feel their age difference sometimes with how she acted though That being said.

Review by Jennifer 4 Stars Imagine starting a new job and the night before going out and having a great time that includes an amazing one and done no names exchanged and in the early light of day parting ways with no promises and no entanglements Then picture going into work the next day and at one point learning that the one person you least expected to see is there and you now work with that person That is what happens to Bristol and Maddox and now they have to figure out how to ignore the feelings lust spark you name it while being professional For Bristol it s the fact that she isn t going to trust another hockey player she isn t going to open herself up to that hurt any But can she resist the pull that Maddox has This is the first of what seems to be a spin off series now as far as Maddox and Bristol s relationship went that is all played out here in this story but there are some previous happenings that are mentioned which has a reader feeling like they missed something OK it s me I m the reader that feels like they are missing something We get some really good drama and even hotter naughty bits holy heck I need to go see if Heather and Cal have a book Bristol irked me a few times the whole crying for 30 min in the bathroom really proved what a professional she was but again this is just IMO I give this 4 stars and will be going back to check out the previous stories A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 This book was a classic hockey romance and I ate it up The reporter coach dynamic was so much fun to read and I loved it I really loved how the book started and how we got to see Maddox transition from player to coach It really amped up the emotions from the start and they did not waver throughout the story. I also really liked Bristol s journey as a young reporter I thought it was relatable and heartbreaking in certain moments and like we experienced with Maddox s transition we had Bristol s as well I liked how she was strong and determined to make a name for herself but the pull from Maddox was HOT. The best part of this book for me was the spice As my first book by Siena Trap I didn t quite know what to expect I went in pretty blind outside of the basic tropes and it was SO GOOD I loved the grumpy attitude from Maddox and the determination from Bristol and how it all blended together The book felt a bit repetitive here and there but overall had great flow and really felt like a journey for each character individually and together. Overall I am not a Siena Trap stan and love her endlessly I am itching to go back and read the Connecticut Comets series because the cameos and easter eggs were just obvious to a new reader to spark my intrigue This was such a fun read and a great story A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 What a great start to a new series Bristol has sworn off athletes after being burned by a hockey player She ends up having an anonymous one night stand The next morning she did have some tremendous character growth This book had me hooked from the beginning I enjoyed seeing all the cameos from the Connecticut comet series characters I really loved seeing Dakota Braxton again and the progression of their love story It made my heart so happy. What to expect Anonymous one night stand Age Gap 12 years Hockey romance Head coach team reporter He Falls first No 3rd act break upThis one releases tomorrow August 27 Thank you Siena Trap for this ARC This is my honest review A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 . 5First off I love that Siena s OG characters always make an appearance throughout her series The scene with Cal Hannah we ALLLLL knew he never forgot about that little moment between Hannah Maddox Plus Bristol s crush on Jaxon I just love all the interactions between them all. I loved Bristol Maddox s love story I knew it was going to have its ups and downs with both of them struggling mentally with things that happened in their pasts It was raw real and really emotional at times There were scenes that were so raw you could feel the anger between them but it made it so real Their happy ending was worth it. NOW let s talk about the filthy mouth Maddox had Likee damn The spicy scenes in this book could melt your fricken kindle Bristol won the lottery with Maddox and definitely upgraded from her shitty ex. Idk if I m emotionally ready for Jenner s story but I will 1000% be reading it You deserve to be the center of a universe And if I m being honest you re starting to become the center of mine Your fights are my fights no questions asked I d never believed in soulmates but having Bristol blow into my life might be enough to convince me to change my stance Hockey Coach Team Reporter One Night Stand Forbidden Romance Age Gap . 5Thank you Siena for an e ARC in exchange for my honest review A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 A Bunny for the Bench Boss by Siena Trap is the first book of the Indy Speed series and it also brings back some familiar faces from previous series As a fan of Trap s work I was thrilled to see Dakota still my favorite character and witness her continued journey The milestones she Dakota hits made me even connected to the story reinforcing that while this book stands as the first in a new series it s beautifully interconnected with the world we ve come to know I do believe that you have to read the previous series first before reading this and enjoying it as much as I do Our FMC Bristol has just moved to a new city to escape her toxic ex Before starting her new job she meets Maddox our green eyed MMC at a bar thanks to an invitation from her best friend Dakota and Dakota s boyfriend Braxton Maddox 12 years older than Bristol had to give up his hockey career after a severe injury The age gap between them becomes a source of humor throughout the book leading to some laugh out loud moments that I had to stifle in public. Bristol who previously came across as a bit of a doormat in Second Rate Superstar has undergone significant growth She s no longer blinded by love and has become independent and self assured Maddox complements her well and their relationship is a highlight of the story Despite the undeniable attraction they both resist their feelings each battling their own demons and uncertainties The push and pull between them adds tension and depth to their relationship making their eventual connection even satisfying The chemistry is palpable and watching them navigate their emotions while trying to protect themselves from getting hurt adds an extra layer of intensity to the story Whenever she needed him he was there supporting her through her most vulnerable moments with a tenderness that was truly remarkable. Overall Siena Trap s A Bunny for the Bench Boss is a captivating start to the Indy Speed series With complex emotions sharp humor and undeniable chemistry between the leads this book offers a satisfying mix of romance and real life challenges I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 Siena is originally from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where a love of sports is bred into a girls DNA Her love of romance novels came early as well She would often accompany her romance reviewer mom to book lovers and romance writers conventions where she sat in on workshops and met numerous best selling authors It wasnt long before she was filling notebooks with her own stories which often starred herself and a certain real life prince As luck would have it she met and married a handsome athlete instead After several temporary residencies in multiple states and Germany they finally settled in Michigan the land where youth hockey reigns supreme Her stories no longer feature herself but draw from her past experiences as an educat Siena is originally from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where a love of sports is bred into a girl s DNA Her love of romance novels came early as well She would often accompany her romance reviewer mom to book lovers and romance writers conventions where she sat in on workshops and met numerous best selling authors It wasn t long before she was filling notebooks with her own stories which often starred herself and a certain real life prince As luck would have it she met and married a handsome athlete instead After several temporary residencies in multiple states and Germany they finally settled in Michigan the land where youth hockey reigns supreme Her stories no longer feature herself but draw from her past experiences as an educator businesswoman fashion consultant and world traveler when creating her strong heroines Oh yes she says with a wink and a smile There are bits of me in all of them Now she spends her days writing happily ever afters for fictional characters and her evenings at the local hockey arenas cheering for her three children site_link One night No names What could go wrong I am done with hockey boys Well at least done dating them I can t cut them out of my life completely Needing a fresh start after heartbreak I moved halfway across the country A one night stand seemed like the perfect palate cleanser before I began my new life That was until I saw those striking green eyes staring back at me from the podium on my first day as a reporter for the Indy Speed hockey team I ve done some stupid things but unknowingly sleeping with Maddox freaking Sterling lands at the top of the list His status may have gone from captain to head coach but the old adage remains the same you can take the player out of the game but can t take the game out of the player A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 The story of Bristol a young sports journalist BFF of Dakota and Maddox ex player suddenly turned coach There was definitely chemistry between those two She was supposed to be such a big sports fan that I wasn t convinced about her explanation after their one night stand I also wasn t a big fan of her because she had so low self esteem I felt she exaggerated about what had happened to her when mostly it was her fault for agreeing to it Maddox I liked A LOT Sure he might sometimes be a bit hot tempered for a guy his age but I loved the way he treated her he was romantic and respectful He knew what he wanted and wasn t afraid to say so he was sincere from the beginning I liked the way his struggles were described but I think the end was a bit rushed and we didn t see how he got over them if he got any help or not It s another well written book by Siena with a good flow I believe it could have been a bit shorter and perhaps avoid a few repetitions I would have liked some angst too Hannah and Cal s cameos are awesome Dual 1st person POV Spice Overall 3. 75 5 for me I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily A Bunny for the Bench Boss Indy Speed Hockey 1 So grateful to have received an ARC copy of this book I ate it up in one sitting and it did not disappoint I literally couldn t put it down who needs sleep anyway Bristol and Maddox s story has them overcoming their own personal struggles whilst they navigate the undeniable pull they have on each other I just felt so connected to them both throughout the entire book The angst and the steam was top tier I am officially swooning over Maddox Sterling until the end of time Their story was just so beautiful It had me giggling gasping kicking my feet and I am not even ashamed that I sobbed at the end.
