Louis

Seattle Sasquatch Hockey Series

by Harper Robson

Blurb:

Two Goalies. Only One Net. A Game They Never Saw Coming.

LOUIS

I thought I knew exactly who I was—until a career-threatening injury forced me to realize I was wrong about my hockey future. And my heart.

My name is Louis Tremblay, and I’ve spent twelve years being the King of the Crease and the life of the locker room. But when a brutal on-ice collision tears my world apart, I’m suddenly the guy on the sidelines watching a rookie take my net.

My body is broken, my “straight guy” identity is crumbling after one too many dreams about my backup, and now management wants me to mentor that same backup who’s gunning for my job.

Teaching Tanner Sinclair is supposed to save the team’s season, but the more I show him about life in the pros, the more I realize he’s the only one who truly sees me.

TANNER

I don’t do “low-maintenance” because I’m easy; I do it because I’ve spent my life trying not to rock the boat or cause problems. I came to the Seattle Sasquatch to prove I’m a starter, not to fall for the legendary veteran who thinks he has to push me away to save both our careers.

Helping Louis through his injury was supposed to be a professional courtesy, but it ended up being the first time in my life I felt like I belonged.

Now a starting job with another team is on the table, and the only thing more terrifying than leaving the man I’m falling for is staying in a net he thinks he has to give up for me.

The high-stakes world of pro-hockey only has room for one Number One goalie. But as their connection grows, Louis and Tanner must decide if being the starter is a prize worth holding onto—or if they’re ready to rewrite the game plan together.

Tropes: Bi-Awakening, Grumpy x Sunshine, Goalies in Love, Hurt/Comfort, and one very judgy bearded dragon.

Louis is a complete standalone novel in the Seattle Sasquatch series with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA.

*****

Review:

This is the first of Harper’s books that I’m reading and I really like her style. It’s a smooth, easy read and her characters were interesting, with complex issues. Louis’s fear after his injury was soaked into every page and in the way that he interacts with Tanner. And oh Tanner. The way that he spent his entire life making himself small, never finding a place where he fit in, to just be. And them finding a space together, one of support and connection … buuuut, because of that I wanted more. I wanted more of the two of them with their friends and teammates. I wanted more of them together, Tanner learning from Louis, forming a relationship so that the potential trade had more bite. It’s a solid story and one with a good dose of heart but also one that needed just that little bit more to elevate it.

Protected from Villainy

Blade & Arrow Shadow Team series

by Gia Cobie

Blurb:

As soon as I heard the news, I knew it had to be wrong.

Bea? A killer? Impossible.

Not the sweet therapist who gently bullied me into recovery and never gave up on me, no matter how grouchy I was. She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. And I wouldn’t be where I am now without her.

Helping Bea means breaking the law. It means asking my Blade and Arrow teammates to risk their freedom, if we’re caught. But the idea of leaving Bea on her own is unthinkable. So, with my friends’ help, we race to stage a daring rescue before it’s too late.

I woke up from one nightmare only to be thrust into another.

First witness to a horrific crime; now accused of being the one who did it.

On top of that, my protector is a man I never expected to see again. I thought about Indy from time to time—wondering, worrying, even toying with the idea of checking up on him. But I never, ever imagined I’d wake up on the other side of the country after he abducted me.

I want to be angry with him for what he did, even though he claims he’s just trying to help me. But it’s really hard to stay mad at Indy when he’s the only one who makes me feel safe.

Protected from Villainy features a wounded warrior hero, a sweet and strong heroine with struggles of her own, forced proximity, found family, a security team of Army veterans, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Can be read as a standalone and an HEA guaranteed!

Review:

I really enjoy Cobie’s stories and was so happy for Indy to get his own story after seeing him in Protected from Malice. He struggled so much after losing his hand, falling into depression and anger, but is starting to find his way again thanks to his work with Blade & Arrow. And he’s going to use his skills to protect the one woman he can’t forget, spiriting her off in the dark to keep her safe.

As they give in to the pull between them, Indy & Bea help each other feel more confidence in themselves & their attraction. The relationship they develop together may be fast, but it works on building on their previous connection. While there is no third act breakup, when you are about 2/3 way thru and you find your baddie you know that something more is coming. Cobie makes it work like she always does 🙂

I find Cobie’s stories a well-balanced mix of suspense, action, steam, and emotion. Her bad guy works, the way we get there flows well, and the team is always fun to read. We’ve got a few more guys that need a book and I’ll be first in line.

What It Takes

The Windy Harbor Series

by Willow Aster

Blurb:

A Sexy, Small town, Enemies to Lovers, Brother’s Best Friend romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Willow Aster

Camden Whitman has always been in my life. I met him when I was five and he was seven, but when he and my brother became best friends, I became nothing more than the pesky little sister he didn’t want around.

There was a period of time when I thought I felt a connection between us, but he shut that down faster than I could blink. Fast forward to adulthood years later, and here I am, still the annoying little sister he can’t stand.

Now there’s one difference: I want nothing to do with him.

I’m happy running The Kitty-Corner Cafe in my small town of Windy Harbor, Minnesota, and love living in my little slice of paradise on Lake Superior…until Camden decides to move here and open up a new restaurant.

Who cares if he’s a well-known chef who can prepare the most delectable food? He will never hear that from me. He’s wrecked my small-town, stress-free bubble and filled it with his abrasive comments and intrusive looks.

But then the unexpected happens. One night, when both of our walls are down, I see a glimpse of something other than distaste in his eyes. And it has me wondering if I’ve misjudged the man that has always gotten under my skin.

When those boundaries are crossed, there’s no turning back. Camden is on a mission and will do whatever it takes to make me his…

What it Takes is book two in the interconnected, standalone Windy Harbor series.

Review:

I adore Cameron and Juju together but oh my goodness the angst that these two bring us. I know that part of it was that they were young and Cameron didn’t really know how to handle his feelings & the situation but he sure did make things worse. And they kept at it for years!

I don’t blame Juju for her reactions, especially as the flashbacks give us glimpses into exactly how bad things got. And once they started down that path it was probably hard to come back from it but *whew*

When things are good though, they are delightful. There’s a deep understanding between the two of them and a playfulness that makes me smile. They’ve known each other for years and share so many experiences & interests. They make a great team … as long as they get out of their own way 🙂

Aster may bring us years of pining, sniping, and hurt, but she also gives us a good mix of spice and connection. I love the small town charm & close family ties of her stories and I’m looking forward to seeing what we get next with Dylan’s story.

Stealing His Thunder

Toronto Thunder series

by Beth Bolden

Designer: Ozark Witch Cover Design

Blurb:

Can rookie Cam’s sunshine steal veteran Dawson’s thunder?

Kicker Dawson Hall is ready to leave his past in the dust. His last season was catastrophically bad, with the distraction of his divorce and discovering that his father-in-law wasn’t managing his money—he was stealing it, instead.

He signs with the Toronto Thunder, poised for his redemption arc, but he’s grumpy and frustrated he has to undertake one at all. He should be better than this. He is better than this.

The new rookie punter’s hero worship might be just another annoyance, but Cameron Green is sweet and kind and more than a little naïve. He’s a country boy suddenly dumped amongst all the skyscrapers, with no idea of how the real world can chew him up and spit him out. It’s practically Dawson’s duty to mentor him and if Dawson soaks up a little of his sunshine, too?

Well, nobody could blame him for that. Not after the year’s he’s just had.

But when Dawson starts craving more and more of Cam, his crush dangerously teetering into passion kind of territory, he’s forced to not just confront his own past, full of disappointment and distrust, but his future, too.

He wants his redemption, and that perfect vision of a season feels just within reach. But it turns out he doesn’t just want Cam for single season—even if it’s everything he believed he wanted—he wants Cam for every season.

Available on: Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, paperback, and audio narrated by Darcy Stark (est February)

*****

Review:

I think I’m going to wear out the word but once again this is such a sweet read. Cam is all sorts of golden retriever energy. Positive, happy, set on showing Dawson how awesome Daws is … and that Cam might just be the perfect man for him. Loved it from the first kiss to the HEA.

And Dawson really is awesome. He’s a little battered, a little doubtful, and way too hard on himself but he’s had a rough year. No one could blame him for being a little hesitant to trust, in himself and in others. But there’s no denying his attraction to Cam. And while he’s a little slow to recognize how deep he is in with Cam, the man does eventually figure it out 🙂

Bolden did it again. I love Cam & Dawson together – they are just so sweet as a couple. I love, love, love that she didn’t make it overly angsty. Instead we get Dawson working to get his feet back under him after his divorce and the fall out from his FIL’s deception. And when he starts to look up, there’s Cam right there in all his sunshiny, positive glory. Oh, my heart.

Rebound Control

Chicago Thunder Hockey series

by Jodie Olver

Blurb:

Elliot

How is it possible to be surrounded by people who love me, yet I still feel alone? 

Everyone is falling in love, and it’s like I’ve been left on the outside. 

I want that for myself, but the thought of putting myself out there is terrifying.

Growing up being told you’re ‘too much’ puts a dent in your confidence, no matter how hard you try to hide it.

Until one day, Lieutenant Hunter Bowen finds me trapped in an elevator.

His kind words and gentle smile only heightens the crush I have on him, and when he asks me to join him one night, I push my fears aside and say yes.

I’m great at controlling the rebound on the ice, but when it comes to bruised hearts?

I guess we’ll find out. 

Hunter

When I became a widower seven years ago, my entire world was flipped upside down. 

I needed a fresh start, so I left the military and moved across the country, and vowed never to fall in love again. 

That was until I met Elliot Olsen.

The guy who has the brightest smile, the biggest heart, and a whole heap of unspoken emotions.

I try to keep my heart at a distance, but the fire burns too bright between us to ignore.

The only problem is I’ve been here before, and I don’t know if I can risk having my heart torn apart again.

Rebound Control is a sports romance featuring a hockey goaltender and a firefighter. It includes ADHD rep, a protective mc, late night ice cream drives and all the Thunder found family vibes. 

It is book five in the Chicago Thunder series and can be read as a standalone.

Review:

I am all over the board on this one. I’ve only read a couple of the Thunder books so I don’t have a lot to go on when it comes to Elliot. I remember him as playful and fun loving but scattered and he’s definitely that, tho here his ADHD really becomes evident. And I’m not sure how those close to him missed it. Not so much his brother, because it would have just been how he always has been to Blaine, but his teammates and their SOs … I mean, it is blatantly obvious. But I do love that he finally gets the recognition and help that he needs, that he finds someone who understands him and loves him exactly as he is.

I adored Elliot’s enthusiasm for life and my heart went out to him for his struggles. It cannot have been easy, even with his brother and his friends, to struggle thru them alone. He’s developed a few coping mechanisms but he still has to deal with so much anxiety and negative thoughts.

There were times tho where I felt like his personality might read as younger than his actual age. His unrestrained joy and the way he throws himself into things, plus his difficulty in doing some of the more “adult” things, has him coming across as childlike. But his relationship with Hunter didn’t read as icky to me but it did make it hard for me to get a feel for Elliot.

Especially when compared to Hunter’s more old soul. He’s a little beaten up and aged by his experiences so he comes across as older than I imagine he is. I do wish he’d gotten some help for his issues because they seemed to just go away and that’s not how it works. That man really needed to see a therapist, especially as he finds himself falling in love again. But he does throw himself into their relationship whole heartedly and I love that so much.

I do appreciate that there isn’t a whole lot of angst to go along with all of their issues. There are so many emotions, so much internal turmoil, that I don’t think I could have handled the external too. Instead we get Hunter learning to let himself care about someone again and Elliot finding that someone that can truly appreciate him for who he is. It’s just so so sweet.

A Cowboy Holiday

by Lane Hayes

Blurb:

The cowboy, the rancher, and a little holiday magic… 

TANNER

I met the grumpiest man on the planet and I’m head over heels in lust. No joke. Oak Ridge Ranch’s new part-time vet slash ranch hand is a bear and he’s built like one too. If I were smart, I’d keep my distance. 

In a twist, I’m not so smart. 

But I can tell that under his hard as nails exterior, the cowboy is a gentle giant. Axel is a devoted single dad, a dedicated vet, and…I think he likes me. Or he wants me.  

I can work with that.  

There’s nothing wrong with a little holiday fun, is there?  

AXEL

I need the job at the ranch through December, then I’m out of here. I have a kid to think of and it’s time to settle old scores and build a new life.  

But Tanner is making things complicated. He’s smart, intuitive, and charming, and— Whoa! I’ve learned my lesson. This is temporary. I’m not Tanner’s cowboy. I might be attracted to him, but I can handle it.  

I hope.  

Okay, fine. I may need some Christmas magic to get out of this with my heart in one piece. Wish me luck. 

A Cowboy Holiday is an MM, bisexual romance featuring a single dad-cowboy-grump, a sweetheart of a rancher, and some holiday magic.  

AVAILABLE NOW

*****

Review:

Hayes delivers a sweet, low angst, and quick holiday read. I always love her characters, how they interact, and this one is no different. Tanner is a big hearted, sweetheart of a cowboy and Axel is a little bit gruff, somewhat jaded, but a wonderfully committed girl dad. They find themselves attracted to each other but both have been burned in the past and with a time limit on Axel’s stay things get a little complicated. They are great together and have such a lovely connection, as Tanner helps Axel let go a little and allow himself to be a little more free. It doesn’t take long for their feelings to take over and I appreciate that Hayes doesn’t let things get overly difficult. A Cowboy Holiday is a little bit of grumpy/sunshine with a single dad cowboy twist (I do wish we’d gotten more of Axel’s daughter tho, she’s a cutie) all tied up with a Christmas bow.

**There are a few field trips to the Christmas themed town from Moody’s Grumpy Holiday but the story can easily be read as a stand alone.**

*****

Author Info:

Lane Hayes lives in sunny Southern California with her amazing husband, who thankfully  doesn’t mind cooking, and their fabulous fox red Labrador, George, who’s pure mischief.  Both provide oodles of inspiration for the low-angst, humorous books Lane loves to write. She’s been telling stories about sexy, funny, sometimes geeky and quirky men who find  

love for a dozen years now and loving every minute. In her previous life, she sat at a desk  and dealt with numbers, so yes…romance is much more satisfying! 

Lane loves tea, travel, and chocolate…in any order. Add a book and she’s set!

The Five Hole

The Games We Play Season Two

by Aries France

Blurb:

Roe Monroe

Taking a lap in hockey purgatory wasn’t in my plan, but I guess even hockey players don’t plan on blowing out a knee, much less picking up some bad habits on how to deal with the injury.

Fox River Falls wasn’t in the plan either, a town where gossip spreads faster than a slapshot and the local coffee shop doubles as a soap opera set.

I’m here to earn my way back to the NHL—not to flirt with the grumpy carpenter who hates everything I stand for.

Too bad his kid worships me, his scowl kind of turns me on, and his quiet, steady belief in me? Yeah, that’s dangerous.

I’m not here to stay. But he’s making me want things I swore I’d given up on.

Gabe Thatcher

I build things with my hands, raise my kid, and avoid the gossip that Fox River Falls loves so well.

Roe Monroe is exactly the kind of trouble I don’t want, don’t need.

He’s cocky, chaotic, and everything I swore I wouldn’t let near my son—or my heart.

But he sees something in me I stopped believing was there. And when he looks at me, I forget my name.

Somehow, he fits into the life I thought I was building alone.

The Games We Play Season 2 is the second season of this multi-author minor league hockey romance series! All titles run concurrently through the same hockey season and the books can be read in any order, so jump in anywhere!

*****

Review:

Apparently this was the time of new to me authors because this is the third in a row (fourth if you count Tortuga since I’ve only read one or two of) and I have loved every single one! France’s character dynamics are so fun and sweet.

I loved how much Roe enjoyed pushing Gabe’s buttons but also how much he truly saw of the grumpy single dad. He understood him, helped push him out of his little bubble, challenging him to truly live for more than his son. It was so very sweet and I couldn’t get enough. And the little family they slowly create together … *sigh* just the sweetest. And I loved how they supported each other in their short term and long term needs. I just … *ugh* gonna say it again, so sweet!

The Five Hole just hit so many of my tropes – small town charm, grumpy/sunshine, single dad, athlete, sweet AND spicy. I’ll definitely be checking out other books by France because if they are all like this? *swoon*

Colliding Hearts

Rainbow Redemption, book 3

by Jax Calder

Blurb:

One voice kept me alive in the darkness. One Halloween night changed everything. One secret threatens to destroy it all.

When my car plunges into a ravine, a stranger’s chocolate-cake voice becomes my lifeline in the endless dark. But after I’m rescued, the mysterious paramedic vanishes without a trace, leaving me with nothing but scars and memories.
After a year of avoiding mirrors and first dates, I manage to hook up with the hottest Darth Vader in existence while dressed as a surprisingly seductive Yoda. But the morning light reveals my one-night stand is not only my new neighbor but also my long-lost rescuer.

Jared and I try the just-friends route, but who can resist a guy who bakes brownies and gives great massages. When our connection extends into a friends-with-benefits arrangement, things become complicated. Especially since I’m still learning to navigate a world where my face no longer opens doors and my wit has become my armor and my greatest weapon.
Before the crash, I was the guy who could charm anyone with a smile. After? Let’s just say Frankenstein would think I’m having a rough time.

I’m falling hard for the man with the chocolate-cake voice, but every time we get close to something real, Jared pulls away. Are my scars holding him back?

Or is Jared hiding secrets of his own?

Colliding Hearts is a novella set in the Rainbow Redemption universe, but can be read as a standalone book.

*****

Review:

This was my first book by Jax Calder and OH MY GOSH is this what they are all like? The ups and downs and emotional upheaval but done in a way that isn’t overly angsty … so good! I’m not going to give anything away but I definitely was surprised by how everything played out.

Going into it I wasn’t really thrilled with the single POV but it really is the only way this worked and I loved Felix. His hang-ups, his seeing his old self with new eyes, the way he falls for Jared, the scars both inside and out left by his accident, everything just punched me in the feels. My heart went out to him from the very first page to the very last.

There is so much to love about Colliding Hearts. The way Felix approaches things with humor, the connection between him and Jared, the steamy AND tender moments, the heartbreak and the forgiveness – it all comes together so wonderfully. I’m so happy I took a chance on this one and I’ll be adding more of Calder’s books to my TBR shelf.

Cowboy Needed

Cowboy Wanted series

by BA Tortuga

Blurb:

Ichabod Miller Johns needs a cowboy.

When his kids inherit their grandfather’s ranch, Ichabod moves them lock, stock, barrel to Western Colorado, leaving the cityscape of Denver behind. Despite this being his deceased husband’s family ranch, he knows he has to take this chance to get his teenager away from the bad stuff he’s involved in and give himself some breathing space to work at his hardcore pottery business. It can’t hurt the other two kids either. Except that he’s now living on a run-down ranch that no cowboy in the area will touch with a ten-foot pole.

When he calls Cowboy Wanted, he ends up with Ellis McIntyre. Ellis has worked some major ranches and has ridden the rodeo, but he has an ulterior motive when he comes to Ichabod’s place. Aside from needing the job, his half-brother Rick has asked him to look into whether or not Ichabod would be willing to sell the ranch, since Rick feels like he should have inherited it from his step-father.

As Ellis gets to know Ichabod and his kids, though, one thing becomes clear to him. This family needs this ranch, and he intends to help them keep it. Can he convince Ichabod he means no harm, and that he has no designs on the ranch for his half-brother? And can Ichabod open up and trust someone else in his life after so much loss?

*****

Review:

I’ve only read a few of Tortuga’s books but I’ve really enjoyed what I have read so far and I think Cowboy Wanted reminds me a bit of The Cowboy’s Bullfighter. Like with that story, there wasn’t a ton of angst or drama (although I would have expected more with the whole issue over the farm, although I’m kinda happy we didn’t go there) just characters that feel real with real issues, real connection. The romance is a little more at the forefront here but there’s still a good dose of the family feel. And I loved the little family they create when they bring Ellis into their group. It’s such a lovely thing that I would have loved even more of them together with the kids but I did appreciate the simplicity of it – two people who meet, spend time together, fall in love, and work towards a future together. With slow burn, feel good stories like this, I’ll definitely keep putting Tortuga on my TBR list.

In a Heartbeat

Rosewood River series

by Laura Pavlov

Blurb:

A Small Town, Cowboy, Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Wren Waterstone isn’t just one of the most decorated equestrians in the world―she was also my best friend for as long as I can remember. Until she wasn’t.

Now she’s back in Rosewood River, and thanks to a temp agency, Wren has been placed at my ranch. I have no intention of allowing my ex-best-friend to work for me, but when I see the desperation in her eyes, I can’t turn her away, even though I know I should.

Old habits die hard.

Seeing her every day is more challenging than I expected. She’s guarded. Wounded. And she looks at me like I’m the enemy. I need to know why. The more time we spend together, the more the lines between past and present blur―and we find our way back to one another. The only problem is, she’s got big dreams to chase.

And I only want to chase her.

I’ve loved this girl my entire life, and our time apart didn’t change that. I let Wren Waterstone get away once. Am I really going to make that mistake again?

Review:

Like everything else in the Rosewood River series, I enjoyed the heck out of this one. From their decades-long friendship to their HEA, Axel & Wren’s journey just worked for me. The support and love they have for each other, with understanding and an undeniable connection, means that it doesn’t take them long to come back to each other.

And Pavlov could easily have made it more angsty but I think she included just the right amount of drama. They have their issues but all it really takes is one honest conversation (which, yes, could have happened 2 years ago but I understand where Wren was coming from.) I also appreciated that she didn’t make any of the characters truly bad. They were just people with flaws and issues – granted one or two with really BIG flaws and issues – and most even learned a thing or two.

Plus, how can you not love this family. The guy’s text message threads are some of my favorite parts of this series. And as they find their matches, it brings even more girls into the family and they have formed such a fun squad, just as wild and hilarious and fun as their SOs. You know those Sunday dinners are a hoot!

We’ve got one more guy left to find his HEA and it’s going to be a nanny romance, which means little kid adorableness and daddy hotness … definitely looking forward to that one 🙂
