A brooding hockey hunk learns to embrace life—and love—from a single mom who takes the world one puck at a time.Big move . . . Jodie’s motto is “Don’t wait for the perfect moment—take the moment and make it perfect.” And that’s just what she decides to do when she moves to Chicago with her two-year-old daughter. Now all Jodie needs is a place to live, and her best friend’s boyfriend has just the answer. Big stick . . . Nick Balachov has zero interest in socializing, partying, or flirting right now. It’s not that he doesn’t like women. He loves them. It’s just that hockey, casual hookups, and hanging out at home are enough for him these days. Now Nick has a big problem—because the woman living in his empty coach house is a major distraction. Big deal? The more Nick tries to keep his distance, the more Jodie needs him—around the house, that is. First he helps with the snowstorm, then the power outage. Nick even finds himself trying to impress her little girl. What the hell is wrong with him? Jodie represents everything Nick doesn’t want. But maybe she’s just what he needs. . . .

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I was very happy to have the chance to read another book with a toddler so soon. Zyana was a cute kid even if I couldn't remember it at all. I am not familiar with the name, but after some research, I found that it means "a gift from Heaven" and I ended up liking it. She is a big part of the book and she is not forgotten halfway through the story. She and her mama are bringing Nick to his knees and he couldn't be happier by the end of the book. Nick lost Aleks 3 years ago and his death made him not only sad and grieving but also not to want to have a family and feel bad for being alive and having a good career. He is not in the right frame of mind, but he manages. He and Jodie don't have the best first meeting and they don't exactly like each other, but she needs somewhere to live and he has plenty of space available so they are "forced" to live close to each other and of course the girls win him over and soften his heart one little step at the time.
Big stick is not my favorite book in the series, but it wasn't bad. Just not as good as the previous books. It had its charm and it was easy to read, but I didn't feel as connected as I should have been and I am not sure if that is because there was something going on with the writing or the pressure I felt with the ticking clock and my reading list. Overall the book was good and I feel like you should get the chance to read Nick, Jodie and Zyana's story.
