THE OVERTIME KISS (Love and Hockey #5) by Lauren Blakely Review

The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Lauren Blakely lights the lamp with THE OVERTIME KISS (Love and Hockey #5). In this story, figure skater Sabrina Snow calls off her wedding after discovering her fiancé had cheated on her. She gets a job as NHL defenseman Tyler Falcon’s nanny. She is also Tyler's daughter's skating coach.

Tyler is the younger brother of Miles Falcon (THE GIRLFRIEND ZONE, Love and Hockey #5). Sabrina is friends with the other women in the series.

Lauren Blakely does an excellent job with this story. I enjoyed the characters. They have great chemistry. I love Sabrina’s relationship with Tyler’s kids. Sabrina and Tyler both have issues with their fathers. They face interesting challenges and experiences.

THE OVERTIME KISS is the perfect addition to the Love and Hockey series. It is a heartfelt and entertaining read. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

The Bad Boy Rule (Hellcats Hockey #1) by Maren Moore Review

The Bad Boy Rule by Maren Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maren Moore scores with the first book in the Hellcats hockey series, THE BAD BOY RULE. Figure skater Lennon Rousseau enlists the help of bad boy hockey star Saint Devereaux to annoy and prove a point to her father. However, she does not know that Saint has ulterior motives. This story takes place at Orleans University.

Maren Moore does a wonderful job with this story. The characters initially rub each other the wrong way. They both have family issues. As they get to know one another, they build trust, confide in each other, and develop a friendship. They have great chemistry.

The story is skillfully written and entertaining. The characters face interesting situations and grow throughout the story. I am looking forward to reading future books in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Rush the Edge by S.J. Sylvis

Rush the Edge by S.J. Sylvis is now live! 

A brother’s best friend, enemies-to-lovers, hockey romance by Amazon Top 50 and USA Today bestselling author, S.J. Sylvis.

I never would have moved to Chicago, if I had known he would be there.

Moving to a brand new city to share an apartment with my older brother was bad enough. 

Becoming neighbors with Kane Barlow, my brother’s arrogant pro-hockey-playing best friend, was just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire my life has become.

Did I mention that Kane is also the guy I had a secret fling with years ago? 

I haven't seen him since and let’s just say his icy glares and frigid demeanor are reason enough for me to get my own place.

Little does he know, I’m in Chicago for a reason that has nothing to do with him. So what if his snide remarks and attempts to get under my skin are wildly entertaining? I came here for stability – not distractions, and definitely not the kind with infuriating smirks.

But the more we clash, the more the tension between us shifts. His icy glares turn into heated glances, and our aversion to being around each other quickly morphs into secret trysts and spicy moments we swore we didn't want. 

The line between love and hate is razor-thin – and this time, we’re both rushing towards the edge.

Eli Abbott has always been about good times and no strings. Until her. One look and he knew Wrenly was different. Sliding into her DMs was easy. Keeping her? Not so much. She ghosted him, and disappeared without a trace.

Now, two years later, she’s back… and she’s not alone.

Faced with a truth he never saw coming, Eli has to decide if Wrenly is the one he’s been waiting for—or just the mother of his child.

Wild Pucking Love (Cleveland Vortex #1) by Hayley James Review

Wild Pucking Love by Hayley James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hayley James gets a win with WILD PUCKING LOVE (Cleveland Vortex #1). In this story, professional hockey player Eli Abbott can not forget about the woman he had a one-night stand with two years ago, Wrenly Foster. Now she shows up to one of his games and is not alone. She is with their son, Ryne Nicholas Foster.

Hayley James does a great job with this story. The characters are dynamic and likable, and the plot is well executed. I enjoyed how the characters interacted. They have great chemistry and make an adorable family.

WILD PUCKING LOVE is an excellent start to the Cleveland Vortex series. I am looking forward to book two, HOT PUCKING LOVE. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Blurb

Alone, broke, and pregnant was not how I envisioned my junior year of college. Neither was Aaron Murray, hockey wingman and campus heartbreaker. 

He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen--and now he's crashing my vacation. 

 Even worse, he ends up sitting next to me on the plane. I can't escape his cocky demeanor... or his gorgeous green eyes--at least for the next four hours. 

 When turbulence hits, I panic, convinced we're going down. 

I blurt my bucket list to him--including the humiliating fact I've never experienced the big O. 

 Once we land in paradise, my little confession becomes a challenge to him and now he's determined to help me check items off my list.

 Slowly he chips away at my defenses until I can't resist him. 

We agree to a fling--no strings, no regrets.

 But Aaron is more than I expected. He's kind, attentive, and too good in bed. 

 I should have known a few reckless days and nights in paradise would come with consequences. 

 Because when I get back to Riverside U, I realize the campus heartbreaker left me with something to remember him by... two pink lines.

One Timer With A Wingman (Riverside U #4) by R.C. Stephens Review

One Timer With A Wingman by R.C. Stephens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

R.C. Stephens lights the lamp with ONE TIMER WITH A WINGMAN (Riverside U #4). Riverside U winger Aaron Murray and gymnast Briar Halle have a vacation fling over winter break. The trip leaves them with an unexpected souvenir.

R.C. Stephens does a great job with this story. The characters are likeable and dynamic. The plot is interesting. I appreciate that Briar realizes that she misjudged Aaron as she gets to know him.

ONE TIMER WITH A WINGMAN is an excellent addition to the Riverside U series. I look forward to the next book, TEMPTING THE GOALIE. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
