#hothockeyplayer

After a very public breakup and a viral post that declares him the villain, power forward Cal Foreman is taking a timeout from women and relationships to focus on hockey. When Chicago Rebels captain and old friend, Vadim Petrov, "volunteers" him to help train Vadim's sister Mia, Cal figures he can do a favor for a pal and get ready for the season with his new team. But the imperious Russian would slice a skate blade through Cal's internal organs if he knew what lessons Mia really wants.

Yeah, not that kind of stickhandling.

Hockey phenom and Olympics hopeful Mia Wallace needs help seducing the man of her dreams. That man is most definitely not Cal Foreman: notorious playboy, thorn in her side, and her brother's bestie. But surely a guy with his reputed skill set has a few tips on how she can nail her target--which makes him the perfect foreplayer.

Cal knows Mia sees him as merely the warm-up act in her grand plan to win another man, but as they spend more time together, he wonders if that's enough.

If they could be more.

And if he could convince her he's worthy of the starting line-up . . . in her heart?

My Review

5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I honestly don’t know what to say about this book because ”amazing” or “really freaking awesome” doesn’t do it justice. It’s romantic, steamy, entertaining and so heartwarming that it literally leaves you breathless. It makes you feel so many different things at once. It’s hockey with a twist, and the swoon factor is off the charts.

I loved watching Callum and Mia as they grow closer, while they train together. Their flirting, their banter the sweet build of heat that leads them to a seriously great connection. But both of them are hiding a pain from their past that still affects them deeply. If only they can trust each other with their secrets. But with neither of them knowing just how much the other cares for them, will they come to their senses and see what is right in front of them before they lose each other for good?

I enjoyed all their friends and players from previous books. As well as the fierceness of the brotherhood and sisterhood that they have formed. This is another fantastic hockey romance in this fantastic series. Can’t wait for the next one!

I’ve been texting the wife I lost, the woman I loved beyond measure . . . Now someone else has answered back.

Gunnar Bond is broken.

Three years ago, he lived through the car crash that took his wife and twins away from him—though “lived” barely describes his current state. Giving up professional hockey, going off grid, and drinking himself into oblivion are his coping mechanisms. Another is texting his dead wife about his days without her. Therapeutic? Doubtful. Crazy? Definitely. But those messages into the ether are virtually the only thing stopping him from spiraling to even darker places.

Until someone texts back . . .

Sadie Yates is losing it.

Suddenly guardian to a little sister she doesn’t know and a misbehaving hound she’d rather not know at all, she’s had to upend her (sort of) glamorous life in LA and move back to Chicago. The nanny has quit, the money’s running out, and her job is on the line. The last thing she needs is her sister’s hockey camp counselor, a judgmental Viking type, telling her she sucks at this parenting lark. Thank the goddess for her sweet, sensitive, and—fingers crossed—sexy text buddy who always knows the right thing to say. In the same city at last, they can finally see if their online chemistry is mirrored in real life. She just needs to set up a meeting …

A ruined man who claims to have used up all his love is surely a bad bet, but Sadie’s never been afraid of a challenge … even one that might shatter her heart into a million pieces.

Phenomenal!

It’s sexy. It’s Inspiring It’s moving. Heartbreaking, heartwarming, emotional, sexy, and a red hot romance. That. Brings. All. The. Feels. Where the characters navigate their hearts through all the twists and turns, and the ups and downs required to reach a HEA. MAN DOWN was an exceptional read! If you want to get lost in a story (and series) I highly recommend this one.

Gunnar Bond has been wallowing in his grief, and pain for the last two years after losing his family. Over the last eighteen months he has been texting his dead wife, when suddenly someone answers. As these two start communicating with each other they find comfort and hope in each other.

Sadie Yates is also in her own private world of pain, seemingly lost and searching for her place, with a low paying, demanding job as an assistant to a social influencer. A self-serving, demeaning father that is going off to prison, leaving her in charge of a step sister, who doesn’t know her and hates her.

These characters were fantastic. I loved their texting and their meeting and connecting. As things unfold, there is great animosity and banter that is super entertaining between them. I loved watching the heat and need grow between them. I laughed, cried and rooted for Gunnar and Sadie. I loved this story of healing, growing and opening of their hearts and letting love in. This story kept me glued to my kindle.

The author’s talent for combining blazing hot scenes with genuinely moving romance ensures that the story is as intense and sensual as it is emotional. Happy reading!

MY REVIEW!

5 *****

FANTASTIC!

This was a fantastic story, filled with humor, love, heat and so much emotion. I just didn’t want to put the story down. The characters are fantastic and this was a great ride.

Since the moment Harper Allen and Jordan Prescott meet I was all in. So much fun watching the antagonism between them as well as their mutual attraction. I loved their chemistry and the sexual tension, and oh my...that first kiss was perfection. And that was the just the start, whew!

I loved Harper and how tough she was, with her stance about not dating Hockey players, and how she didn’t put up with anything that Jordan used to try and sway her. Jordan has a growing reputation for casual hookups, but he is so smitten by Harper from the moment he sees her that he is taking everything about Harper seriously. Which is something new for him completely.

And boy does she make him work for it like no girl has before. This slow build was simply the best part. But as these two become more comfortable with one another, they learn that they have more in common than they ever could imagine. Making the sparks fly when they finally give into their mutual attraction.

“This book has it all—explosive chemistry, feel-good fun, and loads of banter.”

—Kendall Ryan, New York Times bestselling author

A Favor for a Favor, all-new enemies-to-lovers standalone sports romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting, is available now!

A new stand-alone romance about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love.

When I joined Seattle’s NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain’s apartment. Did I mention that he’s married to a woman who definitely was not her?

Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she’s the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she’s not the captain’s mistress. She’s his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister.

So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn’t her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.

5 *****

Deliciously Entertaining!

Holy Smokes, from the very first pages...Stevie and Bishop’s interactions are a delight and seeing how they mix business with their increasing attraction for each other is entertaining indeed. Readers who love sexy reads with a hero who makes your jaw drop with every smile and every word out of his mouth, as well as what saying is on his underwear...who love strong, independent woman who love fiercely will adore this book. It’s hockey romance at its best.

No one does enemies-to-lovers romance like Helena Hunting, and “A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR” showcases her story telling at its best. This fast paced, smart, witty, slow burn and scorching-hot love story held me enthralled in its’ clutches from the beginning to the end, and I couldn’t get enough of Stevie and Bishop. I loved every minute of this thoroughly engrossing, emotionally charged and deliciously scorching romance. YUM!! My new favorite of the year!

CROSSING THE LINE

By Kendall Ryan

Release Day: January 2020

About the Book

Hello, rock?

Meet hard place.

Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation.

But I’ll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship.

We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me—which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles.

She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time—this time with her.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My New Favorite!

This was just super cute, sweet, with some sizzling heat, and it made me happy. This is a fantastic friends to lovers trope that brings all the feels. It captured my attention from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down even when it was the end.

Asher Reed is center for the Seattle Ice Hawks. He has it all, a fancy apartment, a great hockey career, and a lot of women. But after sustaining a concussion, that is going to keep him sidelined for the rest of the season and a groin injury that makes everything painful, he is thinking that maybe the universe is telling him that he has been going to hard for too long and he needs a break. Asher can’t believe that the team will not let him go to his grandmother’s birthday celebration without a nurse at his side. And there is no way he wants to do that. Until his friend Bailey volunteers for the job.

Bailey Erickson and Asher have been just friends for the past few years. Hanging out in the same group of friends. But both have had their eyes on the other since their long weekend trip last summer. Finally done with medical school she has a few weeks off and can’t believe she so quickly volunteered to travel with Asher and take care of him. As she tries to downplay her reasoning as love of a free trip to San Diego, she really is thinking how she would love to spend some one on one time getting to know Asher and spending time at the beach with him. Playing doctor wouldn’t be so bad either.

I loved Asher and Bailey so much. The ease they had with each other as they get to know each other and as things develop was awesome. I loved the pull they had, the great conversations and dialogue it all had me hooked, they were just so fun together. It was flirty and playful, sweet and sexy, with great witty dialogue. And the sexual chemistry between them jumped off the page. But this story had so much more, with a meddling, firecracker of a grandmother, a house full of relatives of all ages and Asher’s sisters, who all want what is best for Asher. You don’t want to miss this one, it’s my new favorite.
