BLURB:

A hockey player writing you love letters? That's what happens when the man who is my opposite insists that he's the one for me.

Having a not-so-smooth check-in at a small town inn can be blamed on meeting Stone Madden, the cocky retired hockey star with a tight jawline. Apparently, he's the man behind the writer I assumed was a recluse with whom I'm stuck on a writing retreat. We couldn't be further apart, I write romance, and he writes about sports. At first sight, we both desire to make each day miserable due to our apparent lack of enthusiasm for one another. But it doesn't take long to discover that we click with an inflammable instant attraction. The fire I thought I'd lost inside of me begins to return.

Because of him.

Together, we unlock the unexpected, a strong bond we don't want to break after our retreat ends. And we don't.                                  

 There may be distance on a map between us, but our emails and my visits to his quirky small town bring us even closer.                        

Stone entered my life as the key to healing my emotional wounds and giving me my love story. Eventually, something has to give, and my heart can't handle the risk.                                       

But Stone won't give up, and in retrospect, the moment our eyes first connected is when I should have known…

Stone and Harlow bring the feels and steam in this he-falls-first and instalove romance. It is the first standalone book in the Lake Spark Inn series, which is part of the Lake Spark world where small-town romance has a hint of hockey.

Authors note: Like all of my books, Should Have Known is a heartwarming, feel-good romance full of banter and steam. However, it does reference assault from the past (off-page).

Should Have Known (Lake Spark Inn #1) by Evey Lyon Review

Should Have Known by Evey Lyon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Former hockey player turned author, Stone Madden, attends a writer’s retreat in Lake Spark, Illinois. He is paired with romance author Harlow Olive. They are opposites that bicker from the start but cannot deny their attraction to each other. They want to continue to see each other, but he lives in Lake Spark, and she lives in Florida. Distance becomes an issue.

Stone is the brother of Vaughn Madden from WAITING TO PLAY (Lake Spark Off-Season #3. We met Stone in that story.

Stone and Harow have great chemistry together. I enjoyed their emails to each other. I like that they didn’t want to text because they wanted it to be more personable. Their bickering is entertaining.

Evey Lyon does a great job with this story set in the Lake Spark Universe. SHOULD HAVE KNOWN is a fun start to the Lake Spark Inn series. I am looking forward to Holden’s and Lexi’s story next, SHOULD HAVE RUN. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

BLURB:

Vaughn Madden is hockey's hotshot who moves to a small town, only to learn that Isla Chase has kept a nine-month secret from him.

It was one night trapped with a hockey god due to a hurricane. We shared one bed too. I also ignored the little fact that Vaughn has always been my brother's rival on the ice. And when the storm cleared, so did Vaughn. Months later, he shows up in my hospital room in Lake Spark where it only takes one look at me and the man is counting back in his head, or maybe it’s my face that explains it all.

He's going to be a dad. And I didn’t tell him.

His eyes inform me that he won’t let me off easy. He wants answers to why I kept this a secret—and he quite possibly needs a scotch for his nerves too. Vaughn is soon adamant that he isn’t going anywhere, especially as he is the new General Manager of our hockey team that trains in town. He also has a list of demands that I owe him due to my secret keeping. Hence, why I move into his house. I’m not sure if developing feelings for a man with a wicked smirk is good for me or our child, but he’s becoming more than my baby daddy. And it turns out that Vaughn’s head has been working overtime, because the family image that I’ve dreamed about is the game that Vaughn seems to have been waiting to play...

Vaughn and Isla bring you a heartwarming and steamy secret- and accidental-baby romance in forced proximity setting. Waiting to Play can be read as a complete standalone and is the third book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is part of the Lake Spark world. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.
