Keeper (Dallas Devils #4) by June Winters Review

Keeper: A Hockey Romance by June Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June Winters gets a shutout with Keeper (Dallas Devils #4). After being humiliated on the Internet, Photography major Ainsley Carter decides to visit an old friend in Dallas. She Meets Dallas Devils’ goalie Tanner Vaughn, who is in a slump. The two hit it off, but they never exchange last names and phone numbers. Tanner’s losing streak ends after his night with Ainsley. He needs to find his lucky charm. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult readers.

Keeper is the perfect addition to the Dallas Devils series. It was fast past and had interesting twists. I appreciated how June Winters incorporated the characters from the previous books. The influencer aspect of the story was fascinating to me. I had no idea they could make that much money. I loved Tanner and Ainsley together. They are a down-to-earth adorable couple. Ainsley’s high school friend Marta Mansour added undeniable drama to the story.

Keeper by June Winters is a must-read for people who enjoy sports romances. It is skillfully written and entertaining throughout. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Bad Teammate (Dallas Devils #3) by June Winters Review

Bad Teammate: A Hockey Romance by June Winters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

June Winters’ (Dallas Devils #3) is oh so good. Veteran NHL player, Derek Reaves, offers to live with rookie Russian phenomena Aleksander (Niko) Nikolaev. The problem is he doesn’t know a word of English. Niko’s sister Katerina Nikolaeva visits from Moscow. Thankfully, she is a Russia translator. Unfortunately, Derek is attracted to her, and she is off limits. This contemporary sports romance is Bad Teammate suitable for adult readers.

I really enjoyed Bad Teammate. Katerina is a likable heroine. She made a lot of sacrifices for her brother. She is talented and has a good heart. Derek is a great guy. He is older and has not played much of the last two seasons due to injuries. Katerina coming into his life makes him realize there's more to life than hockey. Niko’s character adds some interesting conflict to the story.

Bad Teammate is an excellent addition to the Dallas Devils series. It is skillfully written. It has exciting hockey scenes. It has romance and drama. I recommend this story to people who enjoy sports romances. It can be read as a stand alone, but I do recommend reading the entire series. The characters from the previous books are in this story as well. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Comeback (Dallas Devils #2) by June Winters Review

Comeback: A Small Town Single Mom Romance by June Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June Winters hits it in the net with COMEBACK, the second book in the Dallas Devils series. Former Dallas Devils captain Jack Hathaway secretly retired in Bayfield, Ontario. He meets single mom Emma Swenson and her four-year-old daughter Mackenzie, reminding him of the life he used to dream of. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult readers.

I had been looking forward to reading this story ever since finishing book one in the series, DATE WITH A DEVIL. In the first book, Jack’s mysterious disappearance after a teammate’s death was initially mentioned. June Winters does a great job unfolding Jack’s story and explaining his need to vanish.

June Winters does a great job with her character development. I like Jack and Emma. They both suffered emotionally after being betrayed by people they trusted or should have been able to rely on; neither plan on opening themselves up to another again. I like Mackenzie’s role in the story. She’s an adorable little girl. I appreciated how the three of them grow and heal through the story.

I enjoyed the plot. I love how Jack, Emma, and Mackenzie first meet. I like Nicole’s crystal observations. I thought it was clever how both Jack’s and Emma’s pasts played a part in this novel. COMEBACK is skillfully written and entertaining. It is the perfect addition to the Dallas Devils series. I recommend this book to people that enjoy sports romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Date with a Devil (Dallas Devils #1) by June Winters Review

Date with a Devil: A Hockey Romance by June Winters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

June Winters is on fire with DATE WITH A DEVIL the first book in the Dallas Devils series. Team captain, Dane DeHardt, agrees to be interviewed by Austen Marlowe on her show Date with a Devil in hopes of uncovering a scandal. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for new adult and adult audiences.

I really enjoyed this story. DATE WITH A DEVIL was original and had a lot of depth. I loved the characters. Dane is a loyal captain and friend. He is hated by the media. I like that he doesn’t want to run away from the problems with the team. Austen is a sweet heroine. She is idealistic. I like that she came up with the concept of “Date With A Devil.” Dane and Austen have great chemistry. I love their banter. I enjoyed that they initially judge each other incorrectly and then get to know one another.

June Winters has a wonderful writing style. She does a great job with all the details of the story. The scandal with Ryan Campbell and Jack Hathaway was an interesting aspect of the novel. Austen’s boss, Thayer Bray, made a great antagonist. That guy is slimy. DATE WITH A DEVIL was entertaining from start to finish. I’m looking forward to Jack Hathaway story in book two, SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Crush (Boston Brawlers #3) by June Winters Review

Crush: A Single Dad Hockey Romance by June Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June Winters conquers with CRUSH, the third book in the Boston Brawlers Series. Boston Brawler’s captain, Shea Ellis, needs to find a new nanny, so he can concentrate on winning the Cup before he retires. Brynn Conley doesn’t expect to get a job as a nanny for her childhood crush. Both have full intensions of keeping their relationship professional.

I loved this book. The characters were genuine and likable. Brynn is a wonderful nanny. She typically only took care of babies, but she is a natural at handling older kids. She’s great at relating with them but is not a push over. Her reason for being a nanny is admirable. I sympathized for her when people didn’t appreciate what she did for a living, that is until she meets Shea. It is understandable that Shea’s kids love her. Being from Chicago, I appreciated that the twins were Kane and Toews fans. Shea is an amazing captain and father. His teammates and kids want the best for him. Brynn and Shea are the perfect couple.

CRUSHED was skillfully written. I enjoyed the plot. I like that the characters from Books one and two make appearances in this story. You can read CRUSHED as a standalone, but I do also recommend the previous books. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Ice Daddy (Boston Brawlers 2) by June Winters Review

Ice Daddy: A Secret Baby Hockey Romance by June Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June Winters lights the lamp with ICE DADDY. Nursing student, Paige McMillan, has a one-night-stand to help get her get over her ex. The encounter leaves her with a daughter. She knows nothing about her baby’s father except his first name, and that he lived in Boston. Until two years later, when she sees him on TV playing for the Boston Brawlers, NHL star Lance Couture. This sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

ICE DADDY is a cute story. The characters are likable, and the story is credible. June Winters does an admirable job describing events and why they happened throughout the novel; like the situation with Lance’s ex-girlfriend and how it affected Paige and Lance. I appreciated that Paige’s daughter, Irie, loves hockey, and the way she first sees her father. ICE DADDY is an enjoyable and entertaining read. It flowed well, holding my attention throughout the story. The story was clever and heartfelt. I would recommend ICE DADDY to lovers of sports romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Forbidden Puck by June Winters Review

Forbidden Puck: A Hockey Romance by June Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

June Winters scores with FORBIDDEN PUCK. Ella Couture heads to Boston for the weekend to visit her NHL star brother, Lance. She ends up spending more time with his line/roommate, Ryan Ryder. The two know that they need to stay away from each other, but…This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

This is the first book that I read by June Winters. I enjoyed her writing style and quickly added some of her other books to my “want to read” list. She does a great job with her character development and plot. I like Ella. She is authentic and hard working. Ryan is a great character. He credits his recent hockey success to his chemistry with Lance. That puts an interesting twist into the story.

I enjoyed the similarities between Ryan and Ella. For example, Ryan doesn’t know if women are interested in him because he is a hockey star and that Ella doesn’t know if guys just want to date her because she is a virgin, and they want to be her first. I also appreciated, Ryan’s code and Ella’s honesty policy.

The other characters in the story added some interesting tension to the plot. Ella’s ex-boyfriend Mathew is a piece of work. Lance’s personality is fascinating. He is a bit self-centered. He does have a good heart though.

FORBIDDEN PUCK was well-written. The story flowed well and held my interest from start to finish. I love how the epilogue concluded the story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
