Away Game is the first book in the Scotia Storms series by Cathryn Fox. Chase Adams is caught in a severe snowstorm on his way to the Scotia Academy. In a near accident, he discovers a stranded motorist and offers her a ride. Sawyer wanted to escape to sunny Florida where no one knows who she is or who she is related to. The snow ends those plans. Now Chase and Sawyer are snowed in together at a small town inn with no power and nothing to do. They know nothing about each other other than their first names. Sawyer finds Chase to be sweet and kind and so not the guys she’s used to being around. Dare she say she has started to fall in love? However, when the storm breaks, she learns that he is everything she has wanted to avoid. And little does Chase know that Sawyer has the power to destroy his future.
I expected Away Game to be a nice close proximity romance with a bit of mystery and a little hockey. The only thing that I got was the close proximity romance. There is very little hockey; other than Chase being a player. And there is very little mystery for the readers. Right off the bat, this story gives a lot away to the readers, while the characters are in the dark; and leaves very little for the readers to discover. I understand why the characters did not want to reveal who they really were to each other; but why did the readers need to know why? I don’t think so. It would have been nice to be shocked as the characters were when they discovered the truth. The majority of the book is them stranded together and leaves very little time for the conflict and resolution. I did not care for Chase or Sawyer. Overall, I was disappointed in this story. I do not recommend Away Game.
Away Game is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook
