Annie Bang

I’m thrilled to be working in professional hockey, since my five brothers are all hockey players. My new role as skating coach to the New York Bears is the perfect fit and I can’t wait to whip all these guys into shape so we can win more games. Except one of the guys is Logan Coates—the guy who sent my brother to the hospital in a memorable game three seasons ago. I want nothing to do with him.

Logan Coates

I don’t need some tiny figure skater telling me what to do. I know how to skate. I wouldn’t be in the NHL if I didn’t. Although, I am a fourth liner. I do want more ice time. I want to make a difference on the team. But learning how to figure skate isn’t it. Especially from Annie Bang, who hates my guts. Speaking of guts…she has ’em. She’s a pint-sized badass. And that’s sexy as hell. When I’m around her, my skate blade’s not the only thing made of steel.

Meet the Bang Brothers—five hot hockey-playing brothers who are allergic to commitment.

The brothers are about to face off against their newly-retired mother…who suddenly has plenty of time to play matchmaker. Add in their baby sister and some secret dating, a single dad, an accidental pregnancy, a marriage of convenience, and a wrong bed—or two—and these siblings are not going to know what hit them!

Harley Reid
My holiday plans? Boxed wine, flannel pajamas, and Netflix minus the “chill”. I hadn’t planned on getting off my apathy until after New Years—until I accidentally crash into my ex’s new girlfriend’s car. But it’s the motivation I need to flee to my Aunt Nora’s place in NYC for Christmas.

Colliding with a typically grouchy New Yorker isn’t my best foot forward. But sweet Jesus on a cracker, he’s a lickable, Viking-size hunk of hotness. As we somehow keep running into each other, I begin to believe I can shed the hurt and humiliation and be fearless.


Nils Axelsson

My holiday plans? Spending my hockey team’s break alone. My friend Nora, however, won’t let me escape her vortex of holiday cheer, and I find myself agreeing to take her niece to a Rockettes show.

I was expecting an awkward teenager in braces, but it’s the same woman who plowed into me in the elevator. A knock-me-sideways stunning blonde whose beauty and kindness hits me like a puck to the chest. The more time I spend with her, the more I want as much as I can get before she has to go back home. Unless I can give her a reason to stay.

Nate
Delaying treatment for my bum knee until the off season isn’t the smartest move, but hey, I’m a big dumb jock. And pro hockey players play, come hell or broken bones.

That stupid knee sends me sprawling in front of the prettiest lady in Central Park. She’s also smart, and kind, and she bonds with my young daughter Quinn over strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Can’t hurt to ask her out for coffee, right?

Carly
There aren’t many options for a laid-off au pair in New York City. I can’t live on couch surfing, ranty blogging, and less ranty freelance articles forever, but I won’t work with kids again. It’s too painful when it ends.

But coffee with a single dad can’t hurt, right? Maybe a second date. Heck, why not make it one steamy night in his bed? But when Nate has to go under the knife, he asks me to help care for his daughter. I don’t want to be a nanny again, but I can’t turn him down. I’ll just have to keep my guard up to protect my heart.

Scoring Big (Bears Hockey II #3) by Kelly Jamieson Review

Scoring Big by Kelly Jamieson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kelly Jamieson lights the lamp with SCORING BIG (Bears Hockey II #3). Carly Corrigan moves back to New York after living in Paris as an au pair for the past three years. After her heart breaking from missing the kids she watched, she vowed not to be an au par again. However, New York Bear’s defenseman and single dad Nate Karmeinski talked her into temporarily watching his daughter Quinn after he needs knee surgery.

SCORING BIG is a heartfelt read. I liked the characters. I love how Carly initially meets Nate and his daughter Quinn. Carly had interesting outlooks. She was amazing with Quinn. Nate is a fantastic dad. I like that he was open minded. I appreciated how characters from the previous book were integrated into this story. The characters faced interesting obstacles. They grew as they struggled with various circumstances. They were several thought-provoking issues talked about in this story.

SCORING BIG was skillfully written and entertaining. It was an excellent addition to the Bears Hockey II series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Keep it easy. Keep it fun. Never hold on. That sums up my relationship goals, with hockey teams and with women. I learned early on that love and family equals fights and heartache. So I’m always moving on to the next team, the next hookup, before things turn sour.

When I meet Lola at a tropical beachside bar, it’s the perfect set up for a little hot vacation sex. She’s gorgeous, funny, and most importantly, leaving for home tomorrow. But this time, I have a sinking feeling I’ll be sorry to see her go.

Lola McGrath
I knew after that night in Aruba I’d never see Brandon again. That’s fine; I’m too busy vying for the corner office to make time for relationships. But when our paths cross again in New York, our sizzling attraction leads to “just one more night”. Then another. And another.

We never meant to become friends with this many benefits. Especially the one neither of us ever expected—or thought we wanted.

Good Hands (Bears Hockey II #2) by Kelly Jamieson Review

Good Hands by Kelly Jamieson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kelly Jamieson lights the lamp with GOOD HANDS (Bears Hockey II #2). Bears NHL player Brandon Smith and Change Manager Lola McGrath met in Aruba, having a one-nightstand. They run into each other again in New York and decide they could be friends with benefit. They are both focused on work. Neither want kids nor marriage. Theoretically, it’s the perfect arrangement; until there are some changes along the way.

GOOD HANDS is a fun story. Brandon and Lola have amazing chemistry. They both seem to know what they want, but their priorities alter. They both do a lot of soul-searching and growing up in the story. They are dynamic and likable characters.

The story is skillfully written and believable. I enjoyed the plot, and the novel flowed well. GOOD HANDS is an excellent addition to the Bears Hockey II series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe…

Amy’s life isn’t living up to the famous Heller family brand—her love life and her career—and she just wants to be alone for Christmas. So she takes off to a friend’s secluded mountain cabin. Ho fu*king ho.

Ryder’s workaholic tendencies have made him super successful in his business, but he hasn’t spent time with family for years. That’s all he wants this Christmas, plus a little down time at a cabin in the mountains. He loves Christmas and can’t wait for the family ugly sweater contest!

When Ryder walks in on Amy at an “awkward” moment, she can’t believe the man she’s hated since she was sixteen has shown up here. He has to leave. But Mother Nature has other ideas when a blizzard shuts down the entire region...

Amy thinks a good place for Ryder’s Christmas cheer is up his ass. Ryder thinks Amy’s grown up into a smokin’ hot babe. Christmas is all about giving, and he’s got a really big package for Amy. Maybe naughty is the new nice...

Hate Me Under the Mistletoe (Romancing the Rink #1/ Heller Brothers #6) by Kelly Jamieson Review

Hate Me Under the Mistletoe by Kelly Jamieson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kelly Jamieson lights the lamp (and the Christmas tree) with HATE ME UNDER THE MISTLETOE (Romancing the Rink #1/ Heller Brothers #6). Amy Heller feels like she is not living up to her families’ standards and decides she doesn’t want to face her successful family over the holidays. She opts to spend the holidays alone at a friend's secluded mountain cabin. Unfortunately, it was also unknowingly loaned out to Ryder Long, who she cannot stand.

Amy comes from hockey royalty. She is having a tough time. She just discovered her boyfriend was cheating on her and going after the same dream job with the Vancouver Vipers NHL team. Plus, the women’s hockey league she played in folded the year before. Ryder is a good guy. He is a workaholic. He started Green Earth Consulting a few years prior. He billeted with the Heller’s for two years when he played major junior hockey in Winnipeg.

The two get snowed in at the cabin. They had some misunderstandings, which are revealed in this story. Ryder loves Christmas. He helps Amy heal and get into the Christmas spirit. HATE ME UNDER THE MISTLETOE is a heartwarming story that is full of Christmas cheer. I do recommend reading YOU HAD ME AT HOCKEY (Bears Hockey, #2). This is Amy’s brother’s Josh’s story. Events from that book are referenced in this book a few times. You could follow the story without it, but it is an excellent book and worth the read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Talk Hockey to Me by Kelly Jamieson

Talk Hockey to Me, an all-new swoon-worthy, hockey romance from USA Today bestselling author Kelly Jamieson is available now!

They can resist their attraction…until their hearts rocket them across the blue line.

Hunter
Timing. Hockey careers are made or broken on it, and mine has taken an exceptionally broken road. I’m not a star. I’m a grinder, I work hard, and I’m finally at the point I can put the past behind me and get the fat, long-term contract I deserve.

But my agent—the man who stuck by me through every crash and burn—has had a heart attack. I need another agent now, or my one chance for the good money will slip through my fingers. Kate’s a rookie, but she loves the game like I do, so I pick up the phone. And I wonder if she remembers that one night in Cancun as vividly as I do.

Kate
Hockey. All my life I’ve lived it, breathed it, played it. Now it’s my business. As an agent, I’m tied to my phone at all hours, but nothing prepared me to hear Hunter’s voice. The last time I saw him—three years ago—there was a lot of bare skin and horny hormones involved.

I’ve handled it all in my short career—sexism, harassment, being broke, being laughed at. Resisting the attraction between us should be easy. Until it isn’t. And Hunter’s past shakes his confidence hard enough that he could make the worst decision at the worst possible time…

Excerpt

We walk into the bright and sunny apartment. Being a corner unit, it has lots of windows, and the décor is light and airy, all pale gray and white. “Cute place,” I say.
“Thanks. It’s tiny but I love the neighborhood.”
“It looks like you.”
Kate gives me a skeptical look.
“Organized. Tidy. Modern.”
She gives me a long, impassive look. “That’s me, huh? Tidy?”
Shit. There I go again. I called her tough that night and I think she was insulted. Now I’ve done it again.
“Well, not right now,” I admit, eyeing her sweaty hair and face.
That probably didn’t make it better.
“You’re not wrong.” She sighs and sets the bear head on the small island. “Okay, help me get this off. I really need to pee now.”
We wrestle her out of the costume, and I try not to notice that I’m touching her. Under the getup, she’s wearing a thin tank top and a pair of tiny, tight black shorts. I swallow hard.
One hand grazes her bare arm. Then her thigh. I hear her sharp intake of breath and my gaze lands on her nipples, now hard and poking against her bra and tank top. Christ.
I kneel to help her step out of the costume. She sets a hand on my shoulder for balance and lifts one long, sleek leg. I want to run my hands up and down her leg so badly my palms tingle. My dick is pushing aggressively against the fly of my jeans.
I look up at her. She’s watching me, her lips parted, her eyes pupils dilated. A flush stains her cheeks and she catches her bottom lip between her teeth.
Daringly, I set my hands on her calf and she pulls the other foot free of the fur garment. I slide my hands around the back of her firmly muscled calves, and then up to the backs of her knees. She shivers. “Hunter…”
She’s not stopping me. I glide my hands up the backs of her thighs, then over the little shorts to cup her ass. I straighten my legs and stand, pulling her closer. Bending my head, we’re nearly nose to nose. Her eyelashes flutter. Our mouths are so close… “Kate.”
She pulls back, her eyes full of regret. “Hunter. We can’t do this.”
I close my eyes at the stab of disappointment. “Right. Right. Sorry.”
“Also, I still have to go to the bathroom.” She darts away from me and into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
I lean against her kitchen island, sweating, breathing hard. My heart is galloping. Jesus. I fucked up. Why did I touch her like that? What the fuck is wrong with me?
