Revenge Puck: A Fake Dating, Grumpy Sunshine Hockey Romance by L.A. Hart

Shot at Love Book 1
https://geni.us/RevengePuck

After Elle Townsend is dumped by her hockey star boyfriend Christian Riley on the eve of the championship playoffs, she devises a plan for sweet revenge—a fake romance with Christian's arch-rival.

Preston Lawrence takes his hockey career very seriously because brawling on the ice is the only thing he’s good at. With the championship trophy and his contract extension on the line, he needs to figure out a way to control his temper that always flares and gets him ejected whenever he faces his rival.

So, when a heartbroken blonde asks Preston for a photo with him to try to make Christian jealous, he raises the stakes. Known for avoiding the spotlight, Preston kisses Elle in front of a crowd of sports reporters, certain the video will go viral.

Their “fake” kiss felt a little too real for Elle and Preston. It looks real to Christian too, who goes ballistic when he sees Elle in the stands wearing Preston’s jersey, and holding up a sign that insults the size of Christian’s “stick.”

Infuriating Christian helps Preston keep his head in the game so his team could win game one of four. That’s why he suggests to Elle that they keep up their charade through the championships.

Christian and Preston have a complicated history. Their rivalry intensifies further when they begin to fight over Elle.

As Elle and Preston grow closer, secrets unravel, causing Elle to question if Preston's feelings are genuine or just a part of his revenge plot against Christian.

Will Preston be able to convince Elle that his feelings for her are real, or will Christian find a way to win her back?

Silver Spoon Falcons: Nichole's Roster: Age-Gap Hockey Romance by Nichole Rose
https://geni.us/SSFalcons-Nichole

What we wanted: professional athletes. What we got: stick-wielding madmen who look good in blue, play hard, and love harder. It's a good thing this is Silver Spoon Falls because these hunky hockey players fit right in.

Welcome the Falcons to the roster! These over-the-top athletes are about the play the most important game of all: the game of love. And the sassy, curvy women of Silver Spoon Falls have no intention of going down without a fight. Let the games begin!

Silver Spoon Falcons: Nichole's Roster includes all three of Nichole's books in the Silver Spoon Falls Falcons series, as well as brand-new bonus content!

Leia's Playmaker (Colter and Leia) - When a reporter sneaks into the locker room to do a little digging into illegal sports betting, she never imagined she'd come face to face with a hot, grumpy hockey hunk. Now, he won't leave her alone. And the longer he's in her space, the less she wants to kick him out of it.

Aspen's Defense (Noah and Aspen) - When her brother sends his former teammate and her childhood crush to keep an eye on her, the last thing she means to do is fall for the bossy hunk. But when danger comes calling and he refuses to leave her side, she can't help but put her heart, her faith, and her body in his hands.

Gabbi's Goalie (Atlas and Gabbi) - Falling for the owner's sister was not part of this goalie's plan. Neither was taking a puck to the head, getting lost in the woods, or nearly dying. But there's not much he wouldn't do in the name of love. Especially when it comes to fiery little goddess who sets his soul on fire.

BLURB: 📚

I’m a monster DNA experiment and she’s everything my beasts want.

I escape the hell that tortured me for months. I’m turned into something so dangerous and brutal; I don’t recognize myself. And when I feel a pull in my chest, I follow it not understanding why.

I see her and possession takes over. Her beauty is addiction. And her smell? God…her scent….mmm… It drives me insane.

A thing like me doesn’t stand a chance with a woman like her. I am obsessed. I can’t stay away. I stalk her. I kill for her. I take her. I mark my territory. I protect her from everyone and everything. Except me. She’s mine. Whether she likes it or not. And all my beasts agree.

Lake Chapel was supposed to be my fresh start: an opportunity to reinvent myself; my chance to finally live.

🔦Saturday Series Spotlight🔦

🏳️‍🌈 Copper Lake 🏳️‍🌈 – By Ashley James

➡️ AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED ⬅️

Alright, I haven't read Burning The Midnight Oil, and I don't think it's an MM romance but I've never met/ read an Ashley James book I didn't absolutely love. This also just reminds me that I need to finish this series.

I'm also itching to read her upcoming release Hollis, so I felt a Series Spotlight was needed 🥰.

📚 FROM BOOK 1:

A steamy one night stand in the bathroom of a bar in Las Vegas after a world championship win? Yes, please.
Meeting him again months later, only to learn he’s my newest competition? Not so much.

The weight of the legacy I carry is a constant tug in my mind, with the ghosts of the generations before me always whispering for me to push harder, train longer, be better.

In the eight seconds I have to ride, everything else falls away and my sole focus is on doing what I do best.

I am Shooter Graham, consecutive three time world champion bronc rider. No one has ever come close to taking the title since I’ve had it… until him.

Sterling Addams. The new cowboy in town with dark hair, eyes like honey, and a taste for me he likes to pretend he doesn’t have.

He’s green… but he’s good. Too good.

Suddenly, the already heavy pressure I’m under multiplies tenfold. The need to beat him, the uncontrollable urge to put him in his place, becomes almost an obsession.

The question is, how far will I go to prove I’m number one?
Happy reading!

EARLY REVIEW: 🛠 Mr. Infuriating 🛠 By Tess Summers

The Mister Series: Book 1

📆 RELEASE DATE: July 24, 2025

💭
Oh my goodness, this was so good! I've had a few Tess Summer books on my TBR for what feels like way too long and I was so excited to jump on the opportunity to arc read book 1 of a new series.

Mr. Infuriating is incredibly well written and not only is it a fantastic story itself, it sets the groundwork with all the secondary characters that have me itching for the rest of the books already!

This is a contemporary romance about two single parents in a very relatable storyline.

Mature characters who have undeniable chemistry but seem to be at very different points in their life and don't see how they could make things last beyond some temporary fun. The problem with fate? Sometimes before you know it, you've slid so easily into each other's lives you're trying to find ways to backtrack and keep everyone's hearts still intact.

While this isn't dark by any means, it does contain some subject matter and sensitive topics that may bother or be painful for some readers, so I urge you to check the content warnings.

I absolutely recommend this book! It is fun, heartwarming, swoonworthy, and no amount of spice is left out when it comes to Gretchen rediscovering her happiness.

At my breaking point, I find myself back in their arms, where I wish I belonged.

They know I’m keeping something from them, but I refuse to tell them more than they need to know. I can’t save myself…
But I’ll do anything in my power to save them.

NOW LIVE: 💜The Jackass In Class 💜 By Amy Award

The Cocky Kingmans: Book 5

➡️ AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED ⬅️

This steamy sports romance features a protective football player with hidden depths, a curvy heroine owning her talents and learning to take up space, an emotional support donkey with perfect timing, and that Bridgertons-meets-American-Football family that’ll make you wish you were a Kingman.

BLURB: 📚

He’s the campus king with a no girlfriends rule.

But he’s about to break it for the most irritating, sassy-mouthed woman he’s ever met.

Flynn Kingman’s senior year plan is simple: class, getting drafted in the first round, and no romantic complications. Until he chases a rogue baby donkey across campus and meets Tempest Navarro—the one woman immune to his charm.

Tempest Navarro is hiding her bestselling romance novels, anxiety, and a baby donkey in her sorority house. Nope, nothing to see here. Especially not for a jock that’s too hot for his own good. Why does he have to be in her Shakespeare class, saying smart things, and driving her insane?

When they’re forced together by a university tutoring program, verbal sparring turns to undeniable attraction. Especially when Tempest’s emotional support donkey, her meddling sisters, and a whole lot of Kingman siblings are all conspiring to push them together at every turn.
