Sin Bin by Mandi Beck ~ New Release and Review

Title: Sin Bin
Author: Mandi Beck
Genre: Romance
Release Date: November 11, 2018
**Previously included in the Team Player Anthology, released now with added content and an extended epilogue!
They say age doesn’t matter. I could argue that it does. The ten years separating Stella Cruz and I matter a whole hell of a lot.
She has a year of college left—two entire semesters to enjoy being the star pitcher of Fulton University—and I have another Cup to win. Hockey leaves no room for anything else, not even someone as incredible as Stella. So, I left her in my bed. Out of sight, out of … sight. Because I damn sure can’t get her out of my mind. 
Everyone says time heals all wounds. That’s a lie. Six months ago, Jason Dagger left me in Boston after one of the best weekends of my life. Shut me down when I tried to reach out. He didn’t call, didn’t text, didn’t even wave at the camera when it panned over to him during one of his hockey games. Nothing … until he shows up at my job one night demanding and sexy.
Jason’s back and he’s not making anything easy for me. I don’t know if I’m happy or mad about it.
Kim (Goodreads Review): “Once again, Mandi Beck brought her A Game.” Diary of a Book Fiend: “Cute Novella that packs a lot of steam. The chemistry is off the charts between Stella and Jason.” Words We Love By Blog: “The attraction between Jason and Stella was palpable and felt immediately!”
Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer.
A wife, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met even though her favorite hockey player calls her…mom.

Review Copy Provided by Author


I read Sin Bin when it was originally published in an anthology and enjoyed it. The expanded version is a fun novella length introduction to a new series (hopefully).
Jason is a pro hockey player coming to his alma mater to check on a player when he meets Stella, a softball player at the school.
Insta lust has consequences and I loved how those were dealt with. Jason and Stella are both likeable characters and my only complaint is that I would have liked to have gotten to know them better.
The secondary cast is small, but entertaining. I am looking forward to what might be coming next from the FU crew....
