Customer Reviews: Excellent New Romance Author November 16, 2008 Katie Miller (Oakton, VA United States) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a great book by a new author on the "romance" circuit. The characters were very appealing to me. The female is a smart, funny, hip woman of strength, with a touch of sarcasm in her. Someone I felt I could identify with - not like the ditz's in a lot of other romance books. The story line is modern and realistic - even the intimate scenes were realistic, as things, of course, don't always go as `smooth' as one plans, just as these characters found out. I'm hoping this author produces more in the near future. I'm a big fan.
A Good Read November 16, 2008 Mayberry Princess (Rochester NY) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I absolutely loved this book! It had everything a romance novel should have in it. There were interesting characters, clever situations, and a wonderful touching story line. It even had a little bit of sports in there! I would definitely recommend this book and can't wait to see what Kelsey Maxwell comes out with next!

Sukie O'Leary is a young women who had it all, when she got breast cancer. She give that all up for a easier life. Eamon Houlihan is a pro hockey player "who plays the field". These two have known each other since childhood. Eamon is Sukie's brother's bestfriend. They find love and it is a great story.
"OH, MY" .........Ice melting Hot Hockey Player in this book will melt your heart. August 5, 2010 Teresa Pedersen (South Dakota-USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow,
This story really had it all. God I'm such a sucker for "been in love since their childhood" romances that I read the info sheet and loaded it up on my kindle.
Sukie has had breast cancer. She quit a big, well paying job and with the help of her Brother Sean O'Leary(gotta love the names!) she opened up a yarn/knitting shop. Sean has been best buddies with Eamon Houlihan, big time Hockey Pro, since they were kids. Sukie was always the little sister tag -a- long.
No one knew she fantasized about Eamon since oh, like forever and same goes for Eamon with his hidden feelings for Sukie.
What started out as a no strings attached one night stand offer from Sukie to Eamon-then it's let's go back to just being friends--turns into the expected results that generally follows the "friends with benefits" incident.
No strange circumstances or elaborate plot lines, just good 'ol fashioned tender heartfelt romance. (with nice-not trashy- sex)
I loved Eamon from "Hello" and Sean's love for his sister is well portrayed. Sukie is written like someone you want to hug and make your best friend forever. This is a very sweet story with a "kleenex required" label.
Enjoy---I Did.
Thanks Kelsey! I'll be looking up more of your stuff.
