Description

Coen Highsmith was a league star, but he lost more than his team the day the Pittsburgh Titans’ plane crashed. Can he be saved from his downward spiral of guilt and regret to become the man he once was?
I had it all—a successful hockey career, the respect and adoration of the fans, a rotation of beautiful women warming my bed, and a feeling of self-worth and contentment with the direction of my life. But that all changed the day the team plane went down, taking my only chance of redemption with it. Now I’m left with the daily reminder of all my failures and my inability to correct them.
My new teammates are tired of my attitude and following my suspension, I hole up in a mountain cabin to get away from all of it. The isolation is exactly what I need to get out of my own head, and I’m beginning to think I could be content in this quiet forever.
Tillie Marshall isn’t the type of woman who would usually catch my attention, yet she manages to do so for all the wrong reasons. I’m here for the peace and seclusion but the quirky artist is hell-bent on destroying that by cutting down the trees that separate our properties so she can open a pottery studio. If it’s a fight she wants, it’s a fight she’ll get. I have the money and the time and no issues bringing her down through the court system. While I see flashes of steely determination within her, I’ve found that being a jerk comes naturally these days and she won’t be hard to intimidate.
Unfortunately, that gorgeous and somewhat odd neighbor who has been causing me grief is creating another type of feeling within me. And once that spark is lit, Tillie displays a faith in me that for the first time since the crash I desperately want to believe. Now it’s time for me to step up and become the man—no, a better man than I once was.

Emotional and Entertaining

I’m loving my visits to Pittsburgh because I’m loving getting to know the Pittsburgh Titans Hockey Team and honestly I think Coen Highsmith and Tillie Marshall’s story is my favourite so far in this fantastic series. Coen was an original member of the Titans but missed the fatal plane journey because of illness and that leaves him riddled with guilt, anger and determination to ruin his own life. After being suspended yet again one of his teammates offers him his cabin in the mountains to hopefully get some peace and sort his life out and Coen decides to take him up on the offer if only to plan his retirement, what he didn’t expect was a strange woman who lives on the neighbouring property to get under his skin in more ways than one……. Tillie is an artist looking for the quiet life but from the moment she meets her new neighbour sparks fly and not in a good way. The attraction is instant and theses enemies soon become so much more as Tillie tries to save Coen from self destruction so will her strength be strong enough to make him believe in himself once more, one click now to find out. A perfect addition to this wonderful series with a journey that will pull on your heartstrings and keep you on the edge of your seat throughout this captivating story. A journey full of love, passion, romance and just the right amount of drama and a great addition to the Pittsburgh Titans Series.

Wonderful read

Wonderfully engaging read focussing on Coen Highsmith, the apparent hot head of the Pittsburgh Titans. Retreating to a cabin in the hills Coen hides away to deal with personal demons and encounters a local artistic sprite known to her friends as Tillie. Neighbourly banter, friendly sparring and a few explosive fireworks round out this burgeoning friendship. Emotions run high, truths are revealed and decisions are made. A great read.

A heartfelt story!

Coen is the next story in the Pittsburgh Titans series, about Coen Highsmith, one of the players that wasnt on the fateful plane crash. His anger, his survivors guilt is ripe and being suspended from the game really does him in. He heads to a cabin to get away from everyone and everything. For some peace…..
He meets Tilden, who owns the property next door, lets just say the journey these two go on has its challenges, thats for sure. The chemistry is off the charts and you have to wonder if it will have a good effect on Coen’s behaviour.
I loved Tillie, what a woman, she isn’t afraid to go after what she wants and the banter between them, made me laugh at times. Does she break down what seems like Coen’s impenetrable walls?
Honestly I did enjoy this book, it is a heartfelt story with a wonderful ending.

So good

Coen is the fourth book in the Pittsburgh Titans Series. He was an original member of the Titans but due to illness was not on the plane that crashed and killed all his teammates and those on board. The survivors guilt he feels has his life spiraling out of control; angry and determined to destroy his life.
This is Coen Highsmith and Tillie Marshall’s story was a fantastic addition to one of my favourite hockey series. Being suspended yet again, his teammates are concerned for his career and his life. When the opportunity to stay in a remote mountain cabin is offered he accepts and that decision will change his life.
Meeting artist Tillie, the sparks fly and they find themselves in a battle of wills. As attraction sizzles between these enemies, Tillie will be the person to bring him back to life and into the light. Her belief in him gives him the strength to start believing in himself again.
I loved this book and the journey that Coen and Tillie travelled, it was heart warming to watch Coen come back to life and take control of his life. This book was everything I am looking for in a romance; there is passion, romance and tension and it ticked all the boxes for me.

Great SexEnemies

Oh Coen…Coen…Coen. I knew I was going to love this story from book one. There’s something about a hero who is bitter and twisted and needing solace either from his team mates or an incredible woman that I can’t put down. I also adore having a hero that this now gives him plenty of growth and self reflection.
Coen is one of the “lucky three” in that for injuries or illness stopped them getting on the plane that fateful night. Survivors guilt and other issues had been tormenting Coen since and he’s been spiraling out of control. Now suspended, he’s removed himself from the city and hiding out at Stone’s cabin. Was he expecting to find a friend with his neighbor - no way, but she’s got qualities that have him wanting to be around her all the time.
Tillie is completely opposite to what Coen would have dated or spent time with. They even have totally different upbringings but maybe that’s why she intrigued him so much. Or maybe it had to do with her calming compassion that had him letting go of the past. For me, what made me cherish their tale was their banter and antics. She might not have the worldly experience he had, but she gave as good as she got.
There is a certain amount of angst with this book, Coen had to deal with a few demons and I loved that it wasn’t overdramatized. His dilemmas weren’t easy to overcome and at times he was an outright jerk, but underneath you could see his true self was still there. Tillie didn’t just bring out the best of Coen, she showed him to trust his instincts and his team. He was more loyal and dependable than he gave himself credit for. I absolutely loved this couple and story.
