Sometimes being bad feels oh-so good…

Hotshot hockey center Finn Donnelly
wants nothing more
than to take The Cup
to his best friend’s grave
after his team’s big win.

The problem is, that also means
returning to his hometown
and seeing January Sinclair.
A.K.A. his other—
okay, former—
best friend.
The woman he kissed.
The woman he wanted.
The woman he left behind.

January might be as beautiful and fierce
as ever now that she
runs a house full of firefighters
but Finn’s ghosts belong in the past.
As soon as he’s done at the cemetery,
he’s on the first flight out of Remington.
For good.

Even if he does get stuck in town
with January tempting him
at every turn.

But Finn’s ghosts won’t let go so easily.
Will he and January learn
to build new trust
Or will their past keep them
from falling in deep…

One dirty-talking, bad-boy hero + his former BFF who’s always wanted more + a touch of enemies-to-lovers, a firehouse fundraiser to warm your heart, and a whole lot of sexytimes to warm the rest of you = this standalone novella that ends in a sweet and steamy HEA.

Deep check is a novella that focuses on January, our resident Station Seventeen administration officer and Finn, a past local and current hockey sensation. They have a history that goes way back but now Finn is back to make amends and put his past behind him. However, he didn’t include making amends to January and when he bumps into her at a local bar, he makes a decision that will change the course of both their lives!

A sweet and wonderful story of second chance romance and can’t wait for more in this series:)

Really good read that has me looking forward to the next full length novel of this series!

January Sinclair and Finnegan 'Finn' Donnelly were once best friends until the death of their other friend tore them apart. Now years later, Finnegan has achieved the ultimate goal of winning the cup with his ice hockey team and is returning home for a little while during the off-season. Can he repair his friendship with January, so they can have the happy ever after they both deserve?

This is one of eighteen stories in the Hot on Ice Hockey Anthology, each encompassing a hero from The New Orleans Cajun Rage, the team that have won the Cup this season and I've got to say as usual Ms. Kincaid delivered a wonderful read that took me hardly any time to finish. The way this story begins with the prologue had me wondering whether Finn would be able to make things right with January, especially after their conversation when they first come face-to-face in this story. He let her down badly when he left town without so much as a backward glance and causing January to suffer double the lose with both he and Asher, their other friend gone.

As for the dialogue, it was well-written and I loved every moment the hero and heroine conversed, especially whenever Finn called January by the nickname he has for her. It's cute and suits her, considering her name is a month. However, in saying that, there are moments where I felt sorry for the hero and heroine. Finn thought he was doing the right thing by trying to honor his friend's memory by following his hockey dreams, but it lost him the only other friend that ever mattered to him. Will January be able forgive him? Will the pair find a way to be together when he lives in New Orleans and she lives in Remington? Especially considering they have such intense chemistry and strong feelings for each other, which eventually spills over onto the pages in sizzling hot sex scenes that illustrate how right these two are for each other and that they shouldn't let anything stand in the way of being together.

Both the main characters as well as the secondary ones drew me in to this story with their dialogue and the way January's friends support and help her. The firefighters and those that work in the firehouse are a family, and would do anything for each other, which is proven by what they do to help January and Finn. No one wants to see the heroine get hurt and I liked how the secondary characters aren't afraid to give the hero advice in making sure that doesn't happen.

January is strong, brave, smart and I liked how passionate she was about her job and making sure the firefighters she works alongside are as safe as can be on the job. Certainly, she goes above and beyond in making the fundraiser she organizing a success, and she's lucky to have so much help from Finn and people he knows. While Finn, he's successful and done well for himself by achieving everything he set out to achieve. Being in Remington holds bad memories, yet it also holds some good ones. Getting close with January again and finally being able to explore their feelings without anyone getting hurt is a good thing, but when he's trying so hard to remain a part of the New Orleans Cajun Rage, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Because he was torn between going back to New Orleans to continue playing the game he loves for the team he wants to or choosing to stay in Remington to be with January. The question is -- Which one will he choose and will it be the right decision for him and January?

Overall, Ms. Kincaid has penned a delightful read in this novella, encompassing well-written dialogue, a fantastic array of secondary characters and a couple that definitely deserve happy ever after. The way this story ended was perfect, as January has wonderful friends that want her to be happy and aren't afraid to interfere to make sure Finn doesn't make the mistake of letting January go a second time. I would recommend Deep Check by Kimberly Kincaid, if you enjoy the friends to lovers trope or have read Skin Deep by Ms. Kincaid, because this novella features several Station Seventeen characters.

What I love best about friends to lovers romance

Reviewed in the United States on 1 December 2018

Finnegan has finally achieved his goal of winning the Cup, but the only person he wants to share it with most, his best friend Asher, has passed away. To make matters worse, Finn and Asher hadn’t spoken in the seven years prior and it all circled back to one steamy kiss between him and January, the third bestie in their tight knit circle. So, not only has Finn lost one best friend but two. Still, Finn moves forward and decides to use his day with the Cup to take it to Asher’s gravesite and share his win. When circumstances stick Finn in town longer than planned, he decides to make his apology to January in person, with unexpected results.

Finn and January’s past and future collide in spectacular fashion and I loved how these two just laid it all out to clear the air. Their chemistry was steamy and sizzled off the charts, but never once overwhelmed the emotional connection rebuilding between them. I also loved the family feel of the firehouse crew! Their friendly ribbing and camaraderie showed deep bonds and support. And poor Edwin! The keeper of the Cup must witness some very awkward moments with the players!

A missed moment, a new beginning...good gracious...the sizzling chemistry, and a touch of humor, Deep Check hit all my buttons with what I love best about friends to lovers/second chance romances! Apparently, I’ve also stumbled upon a new firehouse of hotties to read about too...

Another fantastic Station Seventeen story!!

January and Finnegan (Finn) belong together. They just don’t think it’s possible. This is a story about two people suffering with the grief of their friend Asher, lost in the line of duty in a house fire. All three were best friends in school, growing up together. This gave them the bond that shaped their lives. January realizes very early in her life that she loves Finn and Asher but in different ways. She is in love with Finn but will never tell him. Ash is January’s best friend but he secretly loves her. Finn is in love with January as well but knows Ash’s feelings for her so he won’t make any kind of move.

January and Ash attend Finn’s going away party when he leaves to follow his dream of becoming a professional hockey player and to someday win the “Cup”. In a moment of weakness, January gives in and kisses Finn, who returns the kiss. Ash walks in on the kiss and he and Finn get into a fight. Finn leaves and never looks back.

When Ash is killed in the line of duty as a fireman, January and Finn lose a part of themselves. Time goes by and neither has contacted the other in seven long years. But then Finn and his hockey team have won the coveted Cup. Finn vowed that if they ever won, he would bring the cup back to Remington to show Ash and to apologize for being a jerk.

When Finn returns to Remington, January is blindsided and is still mad at him. They both soon realize that they need to be together. Their journey is a sweet, wild ride. I love that Finn can take care of a woman and be very romantic. January works very hard seeing to the safety of the local firemen and still saves time to spend with Finn and show him that he is very important in her life. It’s a story that makes you think and realize that life is very short. It’s essential that you grab that brass ring and take nothing for granted. I love this story!!

Second Chance Romance

Reviewed in the United States on 10 May 2017

Great read. I love second chance romances and Finn and January did not disappoint. I love the name January, always thought it was super cool and she TOTALLY lived up to it. The way she made a quick decision to accept Finn's apology and how she sincerely put it behind her is a great character trait. Most of us women, hold a grudge a long time, even after an heartfelt apology.

Finn has accomplished his goal, he won The Cup and bringing it home to make amends to his deceased friend seems to him closure until he remembers he also has to clear the air with January. I believe the way the writer wrote January as smart, quick-witted and genuinely loving to her friends, she could do nothing but forgive Finn once he made the decision to approach her.

What I didn't expect was for January (or Calendar Girl as Finn likes to call her) to so quickly move on after Finn's apology and then jump into a physical relationship with him. It was a refreshing change to what we as readers have become accustomed to reading. I definitely thought Finn would have to work really hard at the apology and friendship renewal....... LOL.

The second chance aspect only seems short term as Finn is waiting on a contract renewal to leave town, but both fall in love with each other and decisions become harder. I'm not giving the story away, but I will say that love triumphs in the end; and I was happy it didn't take a tragedy to make Finn realize the importance of his newfound love for January!

Hot on the Ice, hot off the Ice...

WOW this story is hot enough to melt the ice and melt my heart at the same time. I loved the blending of the firefighters and hockey players we have read from Kimberly's series. I love the tradition of the winning Stanley Cup team each have time with The Cup and I loved how Finn honoured Lord Stanely's legacy with his friend.
Finn and January shared a passionate kiss when they were teenagers, but soon after, Finn leaves for the minor leagues to pursue his dream and January is left behind with a broken heart. But like all good redemption stories, these two finally share their hot passion for one another. It was supposed to be just a few weeks, passion, but it soon turns to them wanting more. But how to get it when they both want different things.
Kimberly Kincaid gives us a wonderful, passionate story of second chance at love.
