A Revenge Puck is a fun as it sounds

Revenge Puck by L. A. Hart

by 2 Comments

2024 was a rough year for me and 2025 is not off to a good start.  For the last month or so I have been re-reading (again) Shelley Laurensten’s shifter series.  It’s a comfort read, and my brain and heart didn’t feel like it could take anything new.  But, I needed to get my first Cannonball read review out and I was feeling the pressure. So, I made myself browse Netgalley* to try and find something to get me started and the only book that […]

If ever there was a person who could make me say “what the hell” and simply live my best life for a single night, it would be the tatted goddess Shae

Love and Sportsball by Meka James

by Leave a Comment

I enjoyed Love & Sportsball so much. It is a refreshingly adult workplace romance between a newly hired athletic trainer and the star player on a women’s pro basketball team in Atlanta. The two have a one night stand and then are surprised to meet a couple of days later at work. Shae is delighted and ready to start a romance. Dijah is horrified and wants to keep it professional. Here’s the wonderful thing about this book: Shae is disappointed but she doesn’t try to […]

He couldn’t tell them that the right one had come along, and it was the pissed-off Russian man heading to the penalty box.

Heated Rivalry Ilya smiled to himself. He actually loved this. He loved being on the road, and disappointing home crowds across North America. He loved the insults, the booing, and, most of all, the sound of a crowd so gutted by his team’s performance that they couldn’t even bother to boo. A winded, humiliated crowd. That was Ilya’s favorite sound. ― Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry “Um, and this is….Ilya. Rozanov. You probably know that.” What were they, exactly? It occurred to Shane that he and […]

You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary

A couple of weeks ago, I was on my way to see Cat Sebastian. (Okay, I was heading to Unbound Book Festival to speak on a panel, but a great deal of my excitement was the ability to spend a little bit of time with Cat, who I had met before, and who I know to be a delightful person. Also, she was one of two people I would know at this thing, and I intended to latch on in the most awkward way possible.) […]

Hockey players owned lots of ridiculous businesses. If Troy patronized them all, he’d never drink anything except terrible wine from their vineyards.

Role Model (Game Changers #5) by Rachel Reid

This review covers books three through five of the Game Changers six book series. Caveat – I learned everything I know about hockey from these books, movies, and from a single hockey match I watched in 2018. My apologies in advance. Tough Guy 3 stars “So, you want to tell us about that hockey lumberjack or what?” “Hockey lumberjack?” Marcus asked, setting his phone on the coffee table facedown in a gesture of absolute interest in the conversation. ― Rachel Reid, Tough Guy His whole […]

“I mean, everyone knows how I feel about you.” “What?” “Yeah. I think I was pretty obvious about it. The guys have been teasing me.” “Oh my god. Landon moaned. “This is going to be so weird.” “Nah, I’ll play it totally cool. “No tongue.” “No kissing at all, you fucking doofus.” “I know. Don’t worry, I won’t even talk to you. Won’t look at you. Who are you, even?” “Thank you.” ― Rachel Reid, Time to Shine Casey lit Landon up, filling all his […]
