Six years ago, Autumn Haven met Hockey Player Sam LeClaire while she was vacationing in Las Vegas. Five days of drinking, gambling, and sex leads to being married by an Elvis impersonator. When Sam wakes up the next morning, he knows he has made a big mistake and leaves Autumn at the hotel. After a quick divorce, Sam doesn't hear from her until she tells him she is pregnant. When Connor is born, Sam takes care of his son financially but leaves everything else to Autumn. Now Sam has had a change of heart. He wants to be a better father than his dad and knows he needs to spend more time with his child. Autumn is glad he is taking an interest, but doesn't believe it will last.

This is the last book in Rachel Gibson's Chinook Hockey Team series. I liked Autumn and understood her problem with Sam. He left her to raise their child all by herself. She doesn't want to depend on anyone else if she can help it and doesn't trust that he will be there down the road. Sam was a bit hard to like. He was the kind of guy who would cancel an outing with his son just to go barhopping with the guys. I was happy he saw the light and decided to get serious about his relationship with his son. As we learned more about him, it helped me understand why Sam acted as he did. His groveling to Autumn later in the story went a long way toward me liking him.

Some of the characters from previous books show up in this one. It was nice to see them. I also loved the Autumn's Navy Seal brother, Vince, and his adversarial relationship with Sam. It was hilarious. My rating: 4 Stars.
