12 Days of Christmas Book Tag {day 3}

 

On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me: three french hens.

In the spirit of threes:

What is the best trilogy you read?

Rush Hockey
by Elise Faber

The first three books in this series focus on the relationship between Axel and Bailey. There is going to be another book under this series umbrella, but it is about separate characters.

Blurb:

I played hard and lived even harder.

At least until the mayor of River’s Bend got it in her head that the hockey players carousing through her small town in Nowhere, California were unwelcome.

I couldn’t care less.

My priorities were pucks, puck bunnies, and pucking my way to the top.

Only…I underestimated the mayor and her intentions to clean up the town, the Rush, and end my streak through the town’s female population.

I underestimated that her matchmaking abilities might be on point.

I underestimated that her niece might be…

The woman who would lay claim to my heart.

12 Days of Christmas Book Tag {day 1}

 

On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me: a partridge in a pear tree.

The partridge stood alone in the pear tree.

What was your favorite stand alone?

This is so difficult as I don't read a lot of stand alone books. I mean I guess the majority of the series I read could be considered stand alone books as the story doesn't carry over. Yet at the same time I consider it a series, and the books are just interconnected.

BUT...I flipped through my 2022 list of books read, and found a couple. Yes, I'm choosing them both. They are very different as one is contemporary fiction, and the other is a comic that covers the artist's real life experiences.

So my favorite stand alone books of 2022 are:

If This Gets Out
by Sophie Gonzales & Cale Dietrich

Everything is Ok

Hey all,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that I had to take an unexpected break. I had a health issue that I had to take care of (still in progress), but will be back shortly. 

So my Bookmas posts have been put on hold, and my reviews are over on Goodreads.

I am hoping to resume posting next week. If not, it will be the following.

Thanks,
Laura

Hockey Romances I Read {Bookmas}

Hockey Romances are what helped me find my way back to reading. I'm convinced of it. You see there was a span of 5 years, maybe 7, where I just didn't read much. Then in 2019 something changed.  In the summer I began picking up a book here and there, then in October I found hockey romances, and suddenly I was binging books like a wild woman. I could not get enough. Flash forward to 2022, and it's no different.

In 2022 I read 39 hockey romance novels. 

Did I plan on reading that many? Nope. It just sort of happened. Now many of these books are part of a series, so knowing my love of series, this also isn't a surprise. But it's what helped drive that number.

Curious what hockey romances I read? Well, here's the list! 

1. Sincerely, The Puck Bunny by Maren Moore [review]
2. Caught by Elise Faber [review]
3. The Scorekeeper by Gina Azzi [review]
4. Only One Love by Natasha Madison [review]
5. Sneaking Around with #34 by Piper Rayne [review]
6. Big Deck Energy by Kim Loraine [review]
7. Like I Never Said by CW Farnsworth [review]
8. Deking the Beauty by Crystal Perkins [review]
9. Tutoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak [review]
10. Second Shot with #76 by Piper Rayne [review]
11. Only One Forever by Natasha Madison [review]
12. The Scorecard by Maren Moore [review]
13. Maxim by Samantha Whiskey [review]

36. The Faceoff by Cali Melle [review]
37. Brutal Obsession by S Massery [review]
38. The Goalie Who Stole Christmas by Cali Melle [review]
39. Down in Flames by Kate Meader [review]

That is quite the list! By the end of the year that number will actually change to 40, as Natasha Madison has a new book releasing on December 27. You know I'll be reading it before the end of the year. It's going to happen.

Are you a hockey romance lover like I am? Did you read any of these titles? Have any recommendations for me?

Happy Reading,
Laura
