Blindsided was the seventh book in the Renegades Hockey series by Melody Heck Gatto. It was well written, well developed and an intense storyline.
Sam and Trina had been happily married. Although I haven’t read it, their original story was provided in Until You, written prior to the Renegades series. Trina was Tyler Kids sister, the Captain of the Renegades. Sam had since been traded to the Renegades to play alongside Tyler.
Gatto dove into a difficult subject for Professional athletes, injuries. No spoilers here so I won’t go into the direction Gatto took us; however, Sam had a serious injury and Gatto walked us through the affects on the athlete, the family and the team. It was wrought with challenges, fear and heartache.
A point that I would have liked clarity was what happened to the players with cheap shots. It was brushed over like it was normal; however, there are penalties for those kind of shots in the NHL and it was glossed over, giving the impression that it wasn’t addressed in any way.
All in all, it was a fairly quick and enjoyable read. Hopefully there will be more Renegades on the horizon.
