Game On by Kelly Jamieson Release Blitz

I’m a fairly recent discoverer of Ms Jamieson’s Chicago Aces hockey series (Thank you Kate Meader) and my only true complaint is that I have found her just as the series was about to end. Thankfully, while all of the books in the series are connected, each one is a true stand-alone story.

In Game On, we meet Brick and Olivia. Both are likeable and interesting characters with out any huge drama in their back grounds. There is an element of “poor little rich girl” to Olivia, but her personality and passion for helping others makes this easy to overlook. Cam is just the right balance of sweet and swagger.

These two have a fun meet cute, but it’s a situation that is easy to see it blowing up in their faces later. I did appreciate the fact that Ms Jamieson didn’t take the obvious path to creating romantic conflict, but I was a little disappointed in how easily the conflict was resolved.

Game On is well written and fun. There were a couple of little editing issues, things that are specific to Chicago that someone not from the area might not notice. Given that this was an advanced copy of the book, I am hoping these were corrected prior to publication. There is also a greater amount of participation from a larger secondary cast than I experienced with the other “Aces” book I read. Some of this relates to Cam’s very social personality, but it also related to this being the last book in the series. There is a “wrap up” feel that will definitely be appreciated by someone who has read the whole series.

I am still curious to go back and read more of the Aces series along with curious to see what Ms Jamieson comes up with next.
