Book Review: Sideline Rivals

Image
  I fought my way onto the boys’ lacrosse team when I was sixteen, and learned how to survive high school under a microscope. Not much has changed all these years later now that I’m varsity’s head coach at my old school. I’m still proving I belong, refusing to be quiet, and dealing with parents who think the job should’ve gone to a man. One specific man. My high school rival. And JV’s new head coach. Landon Fletcher was the all-star golden boy who couldn’t handle being outshined by a girl. I thought my days of sharing the field with him were over. But now, we’re sharing more than glares and insults. The forced proximity of coaching on the sidelines together brings up old feelings, and a past we never healed from. The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore what's always been there. What's still there. And when I find myself at the center of a scandal that threatens my career and all I’ve worked for, I’m forced to lean on the man I never thought I could. T...

Book Review: Ice Rivals

Image
  I once fell in love with two people. I was lucky enough they fell in love with me too. Chance Kellerman was the broken boy whose father convinced him he was worthless, and needed to hide his shameful desires. We became friends first, then brothers when we played hockey for the same team. But it was Presley King who brought us even closer. With her we became more. She set us on fire, and we had everything we’d ever wanted. Then she left us. Four years later, Chance and I are playing on rival teams when Presley appears on the Jumbotron. Our lives look a lot different than they did in college, and the odds seem stacked against us, but I’m positive we’ve been thrown back together for a reason. Convincing them of the same won’t be easy, especially when Presley’s job finds out about our unconventional relationship. I’m prepared to fight for us, until one moment on the ice changes everything. I thought fate brought us together, but maybe we’re only destined to lose it all. My Review I a...

Book Review: Puck Pact

Image
  I’ve never had a problem convincing a man to take me home for a night of fun. Until I meet Alexander Krum. He leaves me wanting more at the end of every encounter. Despite our insane attraction to one another, we couldn’t be more opposite. He wants to take me on a date. I want to head straight to his bedroom. He believes in romance. I know men in romance books don’t really exist. He always wants to help. I can take care of myself. But then he comes to me with a proposition: A marriage arrangement to save his family's villa. His substantial offer has me overlooking our differences and saying “I do.” There is only one problem...he's been hiding a secret from the media for the last four years. Pretending to be a wife is one thing, but this? I'm the last person he should want in this role. Yet I can't bring myself to walk away. The incentive is too great, and when it's over, I will have my dream. And it  will  be over. I'm not destined for happily ever after’s—no ...

Book Review: Odd Man Rush

Image
  Odd Man Rush  is a  FFM forced proximity hockey romance  about defenseman Jason Stamos, his wife Kourtney, and their best friend, Celeste Gentile.  While you wait for this release, you can read book 1,  Heart Trick , a  fake dating hockey romance  about goalie Trenton Ward and romance author Cassidy Quinn. The East Coast Series is a series of standalones surrounding the players of pro hockey team the Jersey City Goldfinches. These spicy books do not need to be read in order, but characters will appear in each book. My Review I absolutely loved this book. I started and finished it in one day. The dynamics between Kourtney aka Kourt, Jason, and Celeste is great. There were no awkward moments between them. It just felt natural, and I embraced it all and loved it.  Kourt and Celeste together was different in the way that Kourt and Jason were together. Same as when all three were together. Like eating Napoleon ice cream. Each flavor is good on i...
