My name is Laura, and I am obsessed with hockey romance. It all started back in October of 2019, and I've been going strong ever since. I also happen to be a big fan of the amazing writing duo, Piper Rayne. So when they announced that they were in the process of writing a hockey romance series, I was ALL IN. All three books were immediately pre-ordered. Then they announced the novella {countdown to a kiss}, and I immediately downloaded that, read it, and posted a mini review.
Well today is the day, and My Lucky #13 is available for purchase. If you are a hockey romance fan like I am, then go read this book.
Let's recap a bit shall we. If you read Countdown to a Kiss, then you know how Aiden and Saige met. If you haven't read it, they meet at a NYE party that is hosted by the owner of the Florida Fury. Saige is attending with Joran, and Joran happens to be Aiden's agent. Joran is telling Aiden that management isn't happy with his performance lately, and there are rumors of a trade happening. Aiden needs to fix whatever is wrong, and fast. Aiden doesn't believe in superstitions though, he fully believes that in time everything will work itself out. Flash forward to the party Saige is being ignored by Joran. Aiden and Saige begin to talk, are hitting it off, and then Saige throws a wine in Aiden's face. At the next game, Aiden is back on track. Even though he doesn't believe in superstitions, Aiden is wondering if there isn't some validity to them, and he tracks down Saige to have her douse him in wine again. Turns out it works. And then Aiden comes up with a plan that will benefit Saige's company, and allow him to continue having success on the ice. What happens next is a friendship that turns into a slow burn romance, that then turns into an HEA for the couple.
Honestly there's more to the story than wine and travel. I left out the part where Aiden wants nothing to do with social media, and it's all due to something that happened years ago. Meanwhile for Saige it's her job. She handles the social media for many athletes, and she is working on rebuilding Aiden's social media presence while also increasing exposure for her company. Aiden, being the good guy that he is, is hesitant to advance the relationship beyond friendship. After all Saige is dating Joran. Or is she.
I fully enjoyed My Lucky #13, and am excited to see where this story goes. I fell hard for the characters, and so help me, Piper Rayne had better give Tedi her HEA. That woman is a riot, and I have a feeling her book would be full of humorous moments. Loved the characters, loved the setting, management is irritating me, and I cannot wait to see what happens next. In Lucky #13, I loved the connection that Aiden has with his family. That just warmed my heart. I loved the steamy moments, the dates, the friendship, all of it. Really the only thing I had issue with was management, and the fact that Saige never told Aiden that she wasn't with Joran any longer. That's it. Those are my two issues. One last thing, at the end of the book when Saige did what she did for Aiden, I cheered. Legit shouted YAY!
Hockey romance + slow burn + Piper Rayne + new series = success
Cannot wait to see where this series goes, and I recommend that you read it.
Thank you for reading my thoughts,
Laura
The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and my team owner is talking about trading me.
I’ve never believed in superstitions.
Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be.
Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers.
Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.
I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.
