#blindside hit

These posts will be tagged 'kat rereads ghr books' so you can blacklist if you want or need to. If anyone has preferences on if I publish in real time as I have thoughts or if I queue everything to publish basically all at once, feel free to tell me.

All right, let's go:

So I’ve followed you for awhile and I’ve been wanting to read your books. The only thing I don’t know is where I should start/ in what order I should read them in. What’s your recommendation? Also your hair looks fab btw.

Hi! Thank you for the compliment, first of all. :D Second, sorry for the delay, it has been a day and a half. So here’s the order you’ll (probably) want to read them in:

Blindside Hit

Roughing (standalone, but with appearances of the characters from BH, you don’t really need to have read it for it to make sense)

Odd Man Rush (also standalone, roughly concurrent w/Roughing, with appearances of characters from Roughing and BH)

Power Play (standalone, set after Roughing/OMR but not by much. Mentions of characters from other novels but no cameos “onscreen”. This is probably the truest standalone in that sense.)

Double Shifting (standalone, set after Power Play with mentions of characters from Roughing but again, no actual appearances. However, I do recommend you at least read Roughing before this one because it’s the old team of one of the main characters of that novel, and as such he’s mentioned fairly frequently. It will probably make more sense if you read that one first.)

Well, are you more interested in meeting Adam and Etienne, or seeing Felix get his happy ending? (For what it’s worth, Tenny is one of my very favorites and I think you’ll love him)

Aww honey, I’m sorry you had such an awful week! But I’m very glad Adam and Tenny are there to help you feel a little less shitty. By the way, have you read Odd Man Rush? If not, Adam and Tenny have a cameo in that, and Adam tells Noemi that he’s planning on proposing. So I hope you enjoy imagining how he does it. Maybe he puts all this time and effort into it but Tenny gets there first and then Adam gets mad at him for spoiling his Moment™. But he can’t stay mad, not when Tenny’s kneeling at his feet holding Adam’s hand and looking increasingly terrified that Adam’s going to say no. So all he can do is throw his arms around Tenny’s neck and kiss him breathless, and when that’s all out of their systems, he tells Tenny how he was going to propose and Tenny listens very gravely, nodding the whole time, and at the end, just says, “Mine was better,” and Adam punches him (and then has to kiss him again).

Thank you so much! I’ve gotten some flack about that, but the thing is, I don’t write to reflect the world as it is so much as the world as I want it to be, because that’s how we make it into that world, if that makes sense.

I don’t currently have serious plans for anyone else in the squad because my focus is taken up by Goalie Tandem, the small town novel, and the TK/Nolan fic I’m working on right now, BUT I did write Johnny and Liam’s story! You can find it here.
