Zanders
Chicago hockey isn’t complete without me—everyone’s favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.
What I don’t like is the new flight attendant on our team’s private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I’ll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she’ll be begging to quit her job.
But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can’t quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons or if it’s more than that.

I’ve been a flight attendant for years. I thought I’d see it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again…no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.
Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.
Everything but him.

Review: I picked up Mile High after seeing so much hype around it, even on Instagram, but I ended up feeling a bit disappointed. It wasn't a bad read by any means—the story is enjoyable enough, and the characters are likable—but it just didn't live up to the expectations I had.
My biggest issue was the pacing. There is a lot of dialogue and a huge amount of detail, but it often felt like very little was actually happening. The book is quite long, yet the overall plot doesn't progress as much as I expected, making parts of it drag. Another downside was how predictable everything was. I could see most of the major developments coming well in advance, so there weren't many moments that genuinely surprised me or kept me on the edge of my seat.
Overall, it's a decent romance if you enjoy character interactions and slower-paced stories, but I was hoping for a stronger plot and a few more unexpected twists. Worth reading if you're a die-hard sports romance fan, but it didn't quite live up to its fame for me.
Maybe one of these days I'll pick the next book in the series and see if there's any improvement...
Happy readings otherwise!
