Cocktails and Books received this book for free from L. Woods PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
Kat Mizera is a newer author for me and this is my first visit to the Anchorage Blizzard hockey team and the world around them.
I enjoyed the set up of Saving Sara. Two people who have been good friends, had a romantic interlude gone wrong, and come back together in a time of need. Seeing them reconnect as friends then start a more in-depth relationship was sweet.
Sara was a character that I liked. She was relatively young, so some of her life confusion was expected. I appreciated the emotional growth she experienced and the way she embraced the decisions she made whole heartedly.
Aaron is a big reason why this is a 3.5 star read and not a 4 star read. His yo yo feelings for Sara and the way he handled them just didnβt ring true. Yes, heβs been burned before, but at 33 he should have learned a few things about how to handle a relationship and communication.
This book is fairly far along in the Blizzard series and we see who (I assume) are the previous stars of the series as key secondary characters. I think having read the full series would have made this a more enjoyable read. I am looking forward to going back and reading the previous stories and getting to know future Blizzard players better.

Best friends to lovers is a risky game…
Pro hockey player Aaron Ferrar has shit luck with women. With one divorce, one psycho, and far too many one-night stands under his belt, he canβt seem to break his bad dating habits. He knows heβs not good enough for his sweet, sexy best friend, so he would never go there, but itβs getting harder and harder to resist her.
Veterinary assistant Sara Chandler has floundered since graduating from college. She left both academia and hockey behind, and now sheβs a nanny for her best friend while working part-time at a local veterinary clinic until she gets into veterinarian school. Sheβs always been hot for her hockey-playing best friend, but sheβs not in his league and sheβs leaving Anchorage soon anyway.
About the Author:
USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.
A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.
Kat’s been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.
As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
