  Synopsis: My name is Hudson Newgate, but my teammates call me New Guy. That was my nickname in Chicago, too. And Vancouver. That’s what happens when you keep getting traded. Brooklyn is my last chance, especially after my poor performance last season. But I can make this work. The new guy knows to keep his head down and shoot the puck. The new guy puts the game first. What he doesn’t do is hook up with the other new guy—a hot athletic trainer who lives in my building. Gavin needs this job with my team. He’s a single dad with responsibilities. We can’t be a couple. My arrogant agent–who’s also my father–will lose his mind if I’m dating a dude. And my team needs me to score goals, not whip up a media circus. Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other… Review: The New Guy was a great, entertaining and emotional read. I hadn't read a male/male story in a long time and I'm really glad I've wet my toes again in this genre with a Sarina Bowen's story. She was t...

  Synopsis: Justin I thought I’d left my past in Minnesota when I moved to Iowa, but it was right there waiting for me. Long blonde hair, curves in all the right places, and a death glare that hits harder than a slap shot to the solar plexus. On the ice, I’m a pro at blocking shots, but Savannah Bowen has slipped behind all my defenses and made a home in my heart. I had no intention of revisiting the past, but when she’s damn near everywhere I go, I’m a goner. Savannah Hell freakin’ no. It doesn’t matter that Justin Ashe is seven feet tall and sexy as sin, or that I’ve had a crush on him for years. He cheated on my best friend in high school, and that makes him off limits. I can’t be with him, but damn, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Girl Code says uteruses before duderuses. He’s supposed to be my enemy, but the more I see of him, the blurrier the lines get. Review: Freezing The Puck is the great start of a new series written by Lasairiona McMaster. We meet new characters t...

  Synopsis: Vivienne I did the last thing I ever expected to do. I bought a boat. A beautiful boat that was all mine to spend the summer on. Only thing I was looking forward to was the calm being on the water brought me. A place where I wasn’t a hockey dynasty princess or the only single girl of the family. What I wasn’t looking forward to was the broody man in the boat next to me. Xavier I was at the top of my game two years ago. Then it all came crashing down. I hung up my skates and vowed to never play again. I was good at hockey, but hockey was bad for me. I planned to spend my life on my boat with my dog. Alone. Happily alone. Until she came along. Review: I've really enjoyed Made For You, the second book in the Made For series, it could be read as a standalone but I suggest to read all the sports romances written by this author. Vivienne is so excited to spend her Summer on the boat she's just bought, unfortunately her neighbour is a grumpy man with the cutest dog she has...

  Synopsis: MATTY Rockstar. Heartthrob. Liability. I'm the face, the body, a trophy for the masses. They love to admire me, and I play the part like a pro. I can be whatever I have to be to survive. But I'm not real. None of this is. How can it be with a past like mine? They think they know me, but no one does. The best I can do is chase another woman, substance, or scandal to escape the truth for one more day. BRITT I've loved Matty Silva from the moment a scared, blond kid from Brazil showed up in our second-grade class.

Revie...
