Wild Shot is the tenth, and final, book in the Lauderdale Knights series and follows Jordan on his second chance journey with Victoria.
About Wild Shot
Four years ago, Jordan was a rookie for the Knights. He met a girl and started dating her, against her father’s wishes. They were young, and dumb. When she ended up pregnant, he was excited and ready to settle down. But fate had other thoughts. And so did her father. Life changed drastically in an instant. Jordan nearly lost everything. He has spent the last four years rebuilding his life and proving himself to the team who took a chance on him.
Victoria was a high school senior when she met a young man who stole her heart. After months of waiting and getting to know each other, he became her first. Her parents did not approve of him which made life difficult for her at home. But when she became pregnant at 18, her father hated him even more. But when fate changed circumstances, her father took advantage of the situation and turned the tables on this young couple that will have repercussions for years.
It has taken Jordan four years to prove to the Knights that he has grown up and is ready for the majors. He has had to work hard on staying calm, focusing and getting the job done without being distracted by any outside forces.
During a night out with a few of his teammates, Jordan’s past rears its ugly head and forces him to acknowledge his past and the lack of closure. He needs to speak with Victoria in order to get the closure he so needs. But he is not expecting what she has to say and it will make him question everything he thought about what happened.
Victoria is in her final semester of college and working nearly full time. She still lives at home, but she helps out around the house and watches her nephew when needed. She has bills to pay and she is determined to graduate and get a full time job in her field of study, even if it is not the field she wanted to study.
Now that the truth is out between Jordan and Victoria, they can finally get the closure they both so desperately need. But these two are drawn to each other like magnets and nothing can break the chemistry they still have.
Jordan’s parents, especially his mother, fears that history will repeat itself if Jordan and Victoria try again. But she is reasonable and is willing to give her a second chance as well.
Victoria’s parents are another story. Her father goes out of his way to make is opinion well known. He is openly hostile towards Jordan and is constantly harping on her about not doing enough to help out at home. He is hyper critical of her choices, from buying a new car to only being an assistant manager at the store where she works instead of running the store.
But mother nature has other plans for Jordan and Victoria and she can be a fickle witch.
But when Victoria’s father suffers a medical emergency, it is Jordan who handles the situation like a champ. He is the one who makes the necessary phone calls to get information. He is the one to take care of the family who is openly hostile to him.
Will these two be able to make a second chance work for them or will history repeat itself?
Impressions
I loved seeing that Jordan is not willing to let Victoria’s father come between them. But the best part was the grand gesture that Victoria does. It is just what he needs from her in order to not give up on them.
Although I did not like Jordan’s mother’s attitude about Victoria, it was completely understandable. I was glad to see she was willing to listen to him and have an open mind.
Victoria’s parents really irked me. I found her father overbearing, manipulative, coercive and down right mean. In my opinion, he was emotionally abusive to his daughters. Her mother was just as manipulative, but in a softer way. She would make excuses for her husband. She did not have a backbone. Both of them were poor examples of what love should look like.

About Kat Mizera
USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.
Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.
As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
