1 " The second I see Landy, I freeze. My heart does this stupid flutter thing inside my chest, like it always does whenever I see him which is stupid. Beyond stupid. Stupid squared. No, it's a higher level of stupid than squared. Stupid to infinity. "
― Aven Ellis , Trivial Pursuits (Chicago on Ice #2)
2 " Landy Holder is a player and not just when it comes to hockey. He has a reputation for being a notorious flirt with pictures all over social media of him with beautiful girls to prove it. "
3 " I've been with an athlete before. I do not care to go down that road ever again. The road that ended with my heart being shattered by a cheating jerk and it took me a year to pick up all the pieces and glue myself back together. "
4 " Landy has an affinity toward children, that this 24-year-old hockey player chooses to be here during his free time and not do because it's mandated community relations for the team, but because he enjoys it. Just like I enjoy teaching art to kids, I think, my heart fluttering again. "
5 " I try to reconcile all the things I know about Landy as I study him. Before today, I knew him as a hockey superstar, a flirt. One who has legions of female fans and he seems to enjoy them if social media is an indication. "
6 " Landy's always been nothing but a gentleman in the time I've been around him. Always getting me another drink, holding doors open, escorting me to my car to make sure I got in safely. The flirt mode he goes into with other women doesn't come out when I'm around him. "
7 " Landy takes a moment and rakes a hand through his jet-black hair, shifting the silky locks out of place, his tattoo once again peeking out from underneath the edge of his jersey and heat flashes through me the second I see it. "
8 " There are more sides to this man than the flirty, superstar player he's assumed to be. He's shown me that in the past hour alone. I want to continue getting to know this Landy, the one who flies under the radar to spend time with kids. The one who likes to play trivia under his middle name. "
9 " While I think Beckett Riley is gorgeous, he's not as hot as Landy. No, Landy has the whole dangerous sexy vibe going on with his longish dark hair and piercing blue eyes and tattoo sleeves... whatever. Not that it matters, right? "
10 " I've lived in the United States my entire 22 years of existence, made A's in history in both high school and at the University of Washington, yet have no clue who the fourth president of my country was. "
11 " Whenever I do a private art lesson, I have the best time teaching children. To see their faces when they create something, to watch them connect with the mediums of art and experience joy from the process, well, that brings me as much joy as it does them. "
