5 Cranky Stars


This book has the background theme of Beer League Ice Hockey - Sweetser Stoats - average age 45. Sparrow Greenlea, an English high school teacher, was one of the youngest on the team. Her mother loved animals, she had two brothers one called Fox and the other Colt. Her BFF Rowan who was married to Griff, took an active interest in Sparrow's 'relationship' life, especially the lack of it. When a new man comes to town and takes over the goalie position, Rowan was determined to make this into something, a romance, a fling anything. Sparrow was not interested as a few years earlier she had her heart broken by then boyfriend Thorn who just decided to go and work in Japan with no invite for her.


Anyway Nix, short for Phoenix, had his own broken heart with a brick wall built round it. He had a six year old daughter named Harley, who his wife abandoned outside their house while she moved out taking most of the furniture etc with her. This is where Nix found the upset Harley a couple of hours later. He moved to Sweetser for a new start with his daughter and his wife signed papers to relinquish all rights to Harley. Sparrow tried to welcome Nix but he shunned all approaches from her. It was when Thorn returned and turned up at her parent's Thanksgiving meal that things started to change. Thorn left the house being threatened by Sparrow's two brothers.


While she was home with her Newfoundland dog Mags, that Mags made her aware there was somebody at the door. By the time she got there it flew open and there stood a drunk Thorn, She didn't want to aggravate him so went along with what he asked until he assumed they would be taking up where they left off, then she lost her cool and Thorn turned violent. The last thing she remembers is everything went dark and when she started to come to she recognised the voice of Nix, she realised that he was a cop. Jumping ahead in the book where there was a lot of misunderstanding and hot and cold receptions by Nix. That Sparrow just accepted friendship which Nix agreed with. Sparrow had got very close to Harley. One day when Sparrow wasn't having Harley, Nix turned up in a state not knowing where Harley was. This then turned into a Search & Rescue operation. Sparrow & Mags had just got their S&R badges.


The search went on for hours in heavy snow in woodland. Long story short, no spoilers!!!! This was the night that Nix world nearly came to an end and when he realised that he had fallen for Sparrow. He walked into a cavern and saw Sparrow and Harley both being threatened. He nearly lost them both it still wasn't an easy road for the pair of them though.......
