Hearts on the Fly by Toni Shiloh


 Hearts on the Fly: A Christian African American & Black Hockey Romance of Forbidden Love and Friends to More by Toni Shiloh
is a great sports romance novel.  Val’s friends set her up on a blind date on Valentine’s Day.  She reluctantly shows up and is shocked when it is Jabari Hall, her sister’s ex-boyfriend who the family will not even speak about.   Their story gets complicated when they realize they enjoy spending time together, Val becomes Jabari’s confident with his new diagnosis of deteriorating eyesight, and they start fall in love.

Jabari and Val were two great characters I enjoyed rooting for!  Val’s kind heart, sweet spirit, and beautiful faith made her so endearing.  Jabari matured, found faith, and was the kind of guy you wanted to buy his hockey jersey and root for!  This character driven story was told in dual POV, the characters had great banter and chemistry, and was filled with sweet romance.  I enjoyed learning more about hockey and the world of sports management.  The story was a win for me!   

Hearts on the Fly by Toni Shiloh was a delightful novel with sweet romance, a wonderful faith integration, and the great setting of the hockey world.  The author did a marvelous job keeping the novel fun while exploring deeper family and personal issues.  I highly recommend Hearts on the Fly by Toni Shiloh.

I was gifted a copy from the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
