Natasha Madison Announcement!!!

As you know, I am OBSESSED with all the hockey romance series that Natasha Madison has created. Okay fine, not just the series, but the characters as well.

With the current series, Only One, about to come to an end, I was wishing for news of a spin off. Well, imagine my surprise when I scrolled through Facebook, and came across an announcement from Natasha Madison in the Natasha Madison's Maniacs group!

Natasha is getting started on Made For Me!

She has said that this is a spin off of the Only One series, and as of right this moment, that's all I know. No clue who our main characters are. No clue if we are staying with the Dallas Oilers. All I know is that the ROUGH release date is December 27, 2022.

So go add Made For Me to your Want To Read shelf on Goodreads, and join me as I eagerly anticipate this new spin off!

Sneaking Around with #34 by Piper Rayne {a review}

Have you been missing the guys from Florida Fury? Well the time has come to reconnect with the team! Sneaking Around with #34 is the latest addition to Piper Rayne's Hockey Hotties series, and it is quite the ride.

Going into this book I wasn't certain what to expect. Obviously there had been history between Imogen and Warner, but what exactly was it? Why was Ford so angry with Warner?

Well once I got started, I found that I couldn't put down the book. Sneaking Around with #34 featured two of my favorite tropes (second chance romance & brother's best friend). It also mixed in some hate to love, and I was here for it.

Warner and Imogen have quite the history! Now that he's been traded to Florida, and she is working for the Fury, they are being forced to spend time together. Especially since the team has plans for Warner, and Imogen is able to talk him into working with her. Ford and Warner are still at odds, and it is showing. Their teamwork is nonexistent, and it is frustrating for everyone.

Loved getting to watch Imogen and Warner find their way back to each other, all while hashing out what happened in the past. Turns out there was a lot more to the story, and another person had inserted themself into the relationship. Sneaking Around with #34 isn't just about Imogen and Warner though. Ford is very much a part of this story, and it was really interesting to read. Even more so when things were realized.

Absolutely enjoyed this book, and cannot wait to see how the next book plays out since we were able to see snippets of it being setup.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on Sneaking Around with #34. I hope that you'll go pick up this best friend's sibling, second chance romance book! Imogen and Warner are pretty phenomenal.

Sneaking Around With #34 by Piper Rayne is now live!

 

I have a reputation for being tight-lipped. You learn quick when you become a professional hockey player to be guarded with the media, so I've worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth.

But when I'm traded to the Florida Fury, where my ex-best friend is the starting right wing, I'm forced to confront my past. Ford and I have a lot of history, especially when it comes to his little sister, Imogen.

My heart still lurches in my chest when I see her.
My hands want to reach out and touch her.
My mouth wants to keep apologizing.

She's the only woman who ever made me want more. But she's also the one who fell victim to my most regrettable decision.

I'm not a believer in fate, but I must be back in her world for a reason. I've fought for everything I've gotten and I'm not backing down from what I know will be the best thing in my life.

Campus God by Jennifer Sucevic {cover reveal}

 

Jennifer Sucevic has just revealed the cover for Campus God. Campus God is the fourth book in the Campus series, and features the story of Crosby Rhodes.

Release Date: March 29

Preorder here

Crosby Rhodes is considered a god when it comes to Western Wildcats football.

And who knows, he might just be one.  There’s certainly no shortage of girls on campus who agree with the sentiment.  They swoon over his pretty face, dark messy hair, and hard body honed from years of lifting and two-a-day practices.  That alone makes him catnip for the female species.

Add a lip ring and surly disposition to the package and you can understand what all the fuss is about.

Would I be included in that majority?

Hell, no.

As far as I’m concerned, Crosby can eat shit and die.  The guy is a major jerk.  Not to mention, a pain in my assets.  And that’s putting it nicely.  For reasons I’ve never understood, he goes out of his way to humiliate and hurt me.  His barbed comments are always a direct hit before exploding on impact.

I’d love to know what I did to elicit such hatred but that would involve conversing with him and I refuse to do that.  There’s only one more semester before graduation.  Surely, we can get through the next six months without coming to blows.

That’s the hope, anyway.

Which is exactly why I’m thrown off guard when my nemesis pulls me aside and suggests a truce.  Do I necessarily trust him after everything he’s put me through?

Nope.  For the time being, I’ll agree so there can once again be peace in the kingdom all the while keeping him at a firm distance.  Except that turns out to be impossible.  Everywhere I go, there he is.  It’s like I can’t get away from him.  More shocking than that, he’s actually being nice.

If stomping out the underlying attraction that constantly flared to life between us was difficult before, it’s all but impossible now.  But that’s exactly what I’m going to do.  I’ve been burned by one athlete, I’ll be damned if I allow it to happen again.

I never imagined falling for a Red Ridge Sinner… let alone three.

But here I am, sneaking around with Diesel, Zach, and Jax, willing to risk the consequences for just one more kiss or touch or moment.

They get me. Understand what I need, and how to make me soar. But every time we find ourselves in the dark, stealing precious minutes together, reality closes in around us.

One of them is broken.

One wants to do the right thing.

And one of them refuses to admit what I already know. I’m willing to fight for them… All of them. 

Even if it goes against everyone’s expectations of me. Even if it upsets the people I love.

Even if it makes me a target for our enemies.

REAP is a full length dark enemies-to-lovers/bully romance. This is a why choose novel, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. It is book one in the series.

The Score Keeper by Gina Azzi {a review}

The day is here. Today is the day that The Score Keeper by Gina Azzi is available. I've been anticipating this book like mad, but at the same time, I am sad the day is here. If you do not know, The Score Keeper is the 9th, and final, book in the Boston Hawks Hockey series. I fell for this series immediately, and it's hard to believe that the journey is over.

That being said, the end of the Boston Hawks series DOES have me eagerly anticipating the Tennessee Thunderbolts series. You see there is a connection between the two that you will learn about in The Score Keeper. That connection has me giddy.

So what is The Score Keeper about? Scott Reland is the owner of the Hawks, and he's looking for love. A few years ago he had a moment with Noelle, and it has stuck with him. When he sees her at an event, he has to jump in to help her out. That leads to a conversation, which leads to her looking at Boston for another location for her business. She'd JUST be going there for business, no other reason. Especially since Scott and her dad run in the same circles. (you know since they both own hockey teams.) This age gap romance will draw you in, and hold your attention until the very end.

The Score Keeper was excellent. Not only was Scott and Noelle's story wonderful, it also has me hyped for the Tennessee series. Especially after reading what I did, and learning about the connection.

Scott and Noelle are both driven people who work hard to help their businesses be successful. Noelle is being groomed to take over for her father, but that isn't her passion. Noelle's passion is her bakery, Primrose. Baking is her where her heart is, and she wishes her dad could support her decisions. Unfortunately he has tunnel vision, and is not accepting anything except her working for his hockey team.

I absolutely loved the connection that Scott and Noelle had. I couldn't help but notice how they fit into each others lives so easily. They are both familiar with the hockey world, and everything that goes into it. At the same time, Scott knew he needed to back Noelle with her business. Helping her to succeed was everything to him. I think it also took him saying what he did for things to turn around. Did he overstep? Possibly, but honestly it was for the best.

These two did not have an easy path to their happily ever after, but once they arrived it was glorious. I am hoping that these two will pop up in the Tennessee Thunderbolt stories, but only time will tell.

Loved the story. Loved seeing the familiar faces. I am hyped for the next series. As much as I am heartbroken the series is over, at the end of the day this moment had to arrive. I am appreciative of the stories I read within this world, the characters I fell for, and the journey they took me on. I look forward to the future and the potential to see characters pop up in the future.

Thank you for reading my thoughts on The Score Keeper. I truly hope that if sports romance is a genre you enjoy reading, that you will pick up the entire Boston Hawks series, and fall for these characters the way I did. Kudos to Gina Azzi for creating this amazing world, and the characters in it.

Laura

 

Boston Hawks owner Scott Reland is my father’s biggest rival and the last man who should catch my eye. But when he does, I don’t look away.

 

We’ve circled each other for years, two outliers in a small club of NHL owners. We know the rules, manage similar pressures, and understand that this lifestyle — hockey over everything — isn’t for everyone. 

 

Which is why I want out. 

 

To prove to my father that I have a future beyond the New York Sharks, I score one for me and open a bakery in Boston, the city that reveres Scott. 

It isn’t long until the dynamic and perceptive Hawk pursues me. And I’m entirely unprepared to be swept off my feet, cared for and supported after so many years on my own. Scott easily draws me back into the hockey life I thought I didn’t want. 

 

But can our relationship survive the demands of this industry? Or will I always be keeping score, second to the game that dictates everything?
