About this eBook

USA Today bestselling author Catherine Gayle presents another novel in the Tulsa Thunderbirds hockey romance series, a sexy spin-off from her emotional Portland Storm series.

When dark desperation meets opportunity…

On a celebratory trip with his best friend, Ray “Razor” Chambers meets sultry Viktoriya Dubrovskaya and immediately recognizes the desperation in her eyes—a sight he remembers all too well. Permanently in survival mode, the destitute and broken Viktoriya makes him an offer—a proposition he immediately refuses. However, Razor’s counter-offer changes everything for her.

A ring.

A marriage.

A lifetime of opportunity.

But learning to live together as husband and wife is as foreign as interpreting Smoke Signals. And where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

CONTENT WARNING: contains graphic and potentially disturbing descriptions of abuse, both physical and sexual.

Oh goodness this book pulled at my heartstrings. The relationships in this book have been my all time favorites. There are so many good ones...Razor and Tori, Tori and Tallie, or Razor and his Momma. They were great,and all very different. This books has several tough subject matters and the way Catherine describes them is very real. It was very easy to get caught up in this book, whatever emotions the characters were going through I was right there beside them. I received this ARC, for an honest review.

I was lucky enough to receive the ARC of this book for an honest review. All of Catherine Gayle's hockey books are a must buy for me. This is the second book in her Tulsa Thunderbirds series which is connected to the Portland Storm series. This is Ray "Razor" Chambers story which starts with him in Vegas at his best friends wedding. There we get to reconnect with some of the players from the Portland Storm series. This is also where Razor meets Viktoriya "Tori" Dubrovskaya when she approaches him to proposition for the night. Razor takes her up on her offer then the night takes a huge turn. Razor marries her that night to help with her visa issues. Once back in Tulsa with the help of Tallie (from Bury the Hatchet) Razor works on helping Tori with scars she carries from her past. I have always liked Razor from his appearance in other books. But after reading his story I fell a little bit in love with him. After seeing the way he helps Tori deal with her past of trafficking, pornography and both physical and sexual abuse and not judging her for it, it would be hard not to fall for him. I look forward to reading more books in this and the Portland Storms series.

A person never knows how much they can endure until they are not given a choice. Will it be faced with strength and integrity? Will it cause a breakdown that is hard to recover from? Smoke Signals is a story of courage, hope and kindness. Viktoriya is at her lowest when she meets Ray. This girl is in a foreign country with no way to take care of herself. I cried because she truly was alone and didn't have anyone she could on but herself. A good person with no options, she is willing to degrade herself and is on the verge of giving up on her dream. Ray proves to be her guardian angel. Despair begets a safe haven for these two troubled people. Haunted by a past he can't change, he will do whatever he can to protect Viktoriya from enduring what he faced in his youth. When all is said and done Catherine Gayle's powerful novel shows that one good deed, one big heart can make a difference. An act of kindness has the power to heal. I received an ARC of Smoke Signals in exchange for an honest review. Have the hankies close by.
