He’s not looking for love, and she isn’t looking for him… but when opposites attract, the rules of the game change.
Anders As a pro hockey player for the Lauderdale Knights, my life is great—friends, hockey, and casual flings are all I need. Love isn’t even on my radar. But I’ll admit, dating my teammate’s hot sister sounds like a fun distraction.
Until I see her shy, nerdy friend sitting alone at the team party. Claudia’s nothing like the women I usually go for. She’s awkward, brilliant, and inexperienced, and I still find myself wanting more.
The problem? She’s headed back to Philadelphia, and I’m stuck here in Lauderdale.
Claudia
One bad experience left me done with men. I’ve got a great job, supportive family, and friends who mean the world to me. The last thing I need is a smooth-talking playboy hockey hunk trying to worm his way into my heart— and pants.
But then I meet Anders, my best friend’s brother’s teammate, the swoon-worthy Swedish player who’s breaking through my walls.
What started as one week together turns into something I never expected. But I can’t trap him like his ex did. I love him too much.
Once Upon a Christmas Tree by Lulu Moore is now live in audio!
Narrated by: CJ Bloom and Shane East
A swoony, one night stand, holiday, vacation romance by bestselling author Lulu Moore
Alexander, Lord Burlington, hates the holidays.
But duty calls. This year he’s willing to set his feelings aside for the sake of his eldest brother who’s just been left at the altar – sending shockwaves through British high society – as they escape London for the snow capped mountains of Aspen.
However, it soon becomes obvious that Colorado in December wasn’t the best place to go for someone who usually out-grinches The Grinch.
Haven Wylder has spent the last four years paying off debts her parents left when they died. Between working on her ranch, or in her Christmas store and taking on every other job she can, there’s been no time for fun. But if there’s one thing guaranteed to put a smile on her face it’s the holidays and the annual gingerbread decorating competition.
What she wasn’t expecting was the tall, handsome stranger with the accent to die for who,*gasp*, hates Christmas.
It doesn’t take long for Haven to start changing Alex’s mind. It has nothing to do with her berry red lips and glossy caramel curls tumbling down her back, or her big doe eyes as green as the Christmas trees she’s selling. Or the way she fills out her jeans.
None at all.
Alexander will never not despise Christmas, but a fling with Haven Wylder might be just the thing to make it a little more bearable. That is… if he can leave her and their unforgettable connection behind.
Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She’s the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions – the worst team in the M.L.B.
More recently she’s ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set – the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.
She’s a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You’ll find hear navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.
🎧Review🎧 To support his brother Alexander agrees to a Christmas trip to Aspen that includes him and his three brothers even if Christmas is a season that he would rather avoid due to this past. When he meets Haven, the sparks fly and now he goes from wanting the trip to be over to spending as much time with her as he can.
Despite the losses she has endured Haven embraces the holiday season and everything that goes along with including the Christmas tree farm she owns and the bakery that features a gingerbread decorating contest that she manages. Even though she knows that Alexander’s stay is temporary that doesn’t diminish the connection between them.
The is a great start to a new series. Even though Alexander and Haven are very different due to their lifestyles and their view of Christmas they have more in common than they realize and the heat between them radiates off the pages. I adored the performance by the narrators including the swoony English accent for Alexander.
Where love melts the ice and holiday magic casts its spell. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.
Hannah Young is on the run. Her life was never made from a bed of roses, but she’s always endured and made the best of it until that is no longer possible.
It’s up to her. To save herself. To start living.
There is nobody else who will save her. It’s time to escape—for good.
Hannah can’t go another year living in turmoil. With only a week until Christmas, she knows she can’t face another year of regret.
There is no such thing as a knight in shining armor.
Alexei Bocharov loves the game. Hockey is his passion, but has also afforded him a life that he could have only dreamed of as a kid in Russia.
Until the accident. Now, his future is uncertain. His future hanging by a thread.
When he hears the sound of crunching metal outside, the sight in front of him is not what he expects. A wrecked car with a woman slumped in the front seat. In a world where dreams are shattered, and hearts are guarded, can two broken souls find healing in each other?

She doesn’t have time for romance—especially with her brother’s friend, James Carmichael, the handsome firefighter who lives next door. No matter how much Callie tries to fight it, James keeps slipping through her defenses. He’s dependable and steadfast, and his easy charm, protective nature, and late-night visits make it hard for her to deny what’s between them.

But just as she begins to imagine a future with James, hotelier Sterling Whitmore arrives in Snowfall Valley to open a luxury ski resort. When Callie lands a job working on his finance team, there’s something disarmingly familiar about the sophisticated New Yorker, and as their paths continue to cross, long-buried memories begin to surface until an unexpected revelation forces Callie to confront her past.
Now, will Callie let the ghosts of old decisions shatter her dreams of happily ever after, or will she realize the life she’s been yearning for has been right in front of her all along?

💍Review💍
Cate’s organized life is unfolding as she planned as she has a job she loves as a nurse practitioner, and she is about to own her first home. The one glitch in her plan is that finds out she is married to a man she hasn’t seen since high school. She isn’t sure how the marriage happened but the one thing she does know is that she needs it to end.
Shane is a successful musician who has become accustomed to woman wanting to see him because of his celebrity status and not because of the man he is. He believes that is the case with Cate as they haven’t seen each other for over a decade however he soon learns that is not the case. When he sees her again, he wonders what if and he isn’t about to just let her walk away.
Humorous banter, surprises and angst as the lifestyles that Cate and Shane are living couldn’t be more different. The chemistry and connection between them was undeniable however it isn’t only themselves they need to consider which makes the consequences of where they go from here even more important.
A standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement hockey romance.
I’ve been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Reddi-Grinst since the third grade.
I should be the one taking her to our small-town high school reunion. The prom king finally gets his chance with the valedictorian.
Except she hates me.
To the world, I’m a pro hockey player with a million dollar smile.
To Hemi, I’m the menace who (accidentally) sank her bike to the bottom of the lake.
I never thought I’d be able to right my wrongs until she took the team’s PR job.
I’d hoped I was making progress, winning her over—one geriatric polka party at a time.
Until I got drunk one night and made a mistake. A very big mistake.
Now the world thinks we’re both very much in love–—except Hemi is absolutely in loathe.
To save our jobs and reputations, we have to convince all our friends, family, and bosses that our fake relationship is the real deal.
I’ll do anything to protect her, especially if it means I get to be the best boyfriend Hemi never expected.
About Helena Hunting:
NYT and USA Today bestselling author, Helena Hunting lives outside of Toronto with her amazing family and her adorable, emotional cat, who thinks the best place to sleep is her keyboard. Helena writes everything from emotional contemporary romance to romantic comedies that will have you laughing until you cry.
🏒Review🏒 Hemi handles the PR for the Toronto Terror, and she is very good at her job and has created a close and supportive group of friends. There is one member of the team, Dallas, whom she grew up with and their past is filled with misunderstanding and hurt. This is only escalated when he declares that they are in a relationship, and she cannot say no because of the potential damage it could do to their careers and the team.
Dallas is a professional hockey player who has loved Hemi since they were teenagers but did not always show her in the best way. The opportunity to show Hemi that he can be the man she needs and that she can trust him may be the biggest challenge he will ever face but some things are worth fighting for.
Both Dallas and Hemi are full of surprises and that only made the story that much better. Witty banter, great chemistry, a wonderful group of friends and so many feels. The performance of the narrators only enhanced the experience as it gave you a better insight to these two compelling characters.
An alliance between two legendary mafia families just like in the old days.
But when my sweet, beautiful older sister fell for a civilian and eloped in spite of our father’s edict, mafia mayhem ensued.
Now, to save my sister and her clueless new husband from a date with a Cosa Nostra executioner, I’m taking her place.
No doubt everyone would have preferred the alternative bride. Especially the groom.
Luca Connelly. Master manipulator. Crown prince of his uncle’s blood-splattered empire.
And my nemesis since high school.
Luca, with his charm and muscle and sinful looks, believes the world is his for the taking.
He might be right.
Luca is good at fooling everyone else. However, he’ll never fool me.
He’s still the same callous, arrogant villain who used to delight in my torment.
Not that I’m innocent. The scorching hostility between us is completely mutual.
Too bad there are a few things I didn’t count on.
Like the way I can’t get enough of his touch.
Or how I keep coming back for more no matter how volatile we are together.
I know this is no recipe for a happy marriage.
But the closer I get to Luca, the more the lines get blurred.
My mistake was to assume that I was in full control.
I was so sure my heart could never fall for my husband.
Only now that it’s too late am I learning how very wrong I was…
About the Author:
Cora Brent was born in a cold climate and escaped as soon as it was legally possible. Now, she lives in the desert with her husband, two kids and a prickly pear cactus she has affectionately named ‘Spot’. Cora’s closet is filled with boxes of unfinished stories that date back her 1980’s childhood and all her life she has dreamed of being an author. Amazingly, she is now a New York Times and USA Today bestselling writer of contemporary romance and begs not to be awakened from this dream.
An angel, a demon, a vampire, a fae and a shifter walk into an academy…
Sounds like the start of a bad joke, right?
I mean, come on, what could go wrong? Especially when they all fall for a girl whose scream can turn men to piles of ash and dust?
That girl is me, by the way. Yep, I k1ll people with my scream. This is where the “I’m not like other girls” thing gets a whole new meaning.
Daughter of the Witch Queen who went psycho and was imprisoned before I was born, father unknown. Too powerful to be left in peace.
Pandemonium College seems like a good place to hide until I figure out what I am.
No place better than among your own kind, right?
A crow among crows. A powerful girl in an academy full of powerful magical students.
And then I meet them.
Five guys, one more gorgeous than the next.
Nice. Gentle. Friendly. Hot. How is a girl supposed to resist?
Beware of pretty strangers, they say, but they are just students. They don’t know what I am, so no harm in being friendly right back, right? I mean, what could go wrong?
I only have to avoid screaming… for any reason. Shouldn’t be all that hard.
As the head elf at Santa’s Christmasland, I never expected to be butting heads with the new executive—or going on a date with him. But when he asked me to go home with him for Christmas, I surprised myself by saying yes.
Oh, and he’s from the North Pole.
And apparently, I’m an elf.
Teddy Claus
Training to take over the family business was no small undertaking, but for the last few years, I’d been working my way up through the ranks, mastering each branch of our enterprise.
But everything was different when I arrived at our Christmas themed amusement park and met her.
Maybe that was why I invited her home with me for Christmas.
It felt like I’d been searching my whole life for something, and I’d finally found it.
Maybe, what I’d needed all along was Ivy by my side.
Brick Wall is a college hockey romance with a hero who falls hard and fast for the one girl he can’t have.
JT
Life hasn’t always been easy, but things are beginning to look up. I’m the starting goalie for the BU Wolves, Coach Baylor has become the family I have always wanted as a kid, and my dream career is waiting for me. All I need to do is defend my net for the next few seasons so I can prove to the Boston Bruisers that they drafted me for a reason. That’s a pretty bright future for a man with a past like mine.
When I hit up a party with a bunch of my roommates, I never expected to fall hard. But from that night on, it’s out of my control. Maggie Baylor is the one for me, no matter how much she tries to deny it.
Just when I think we’re getting somewhere, she ghosts me. But there’s one thing Maggie doesn’t understand: I’m not letting anything or anyone—not even Coach—stand in our way.
Maggie
As a transfer student, I have one goal: finish my senior year without any drama. And, ok…I may have lost sight of that goal before the year officially started. But that’s not my fault—Hottie Gym Shorts Guy was…well, hot. And sweet. And so very talented. That’s why I bolted the next morning. I didn’t move back home to fall in lust or worse, love. I came back to Bainbridge to spend time with my Uncle Hudson and earn my degree.
Besides, there won’t be any drama because I’m never going to see him again.
Except I do. We just keep running into each other. It’s fine, though. I can resist.
Until I can’t. JT is crumbling all my defenses. I’m on the verge of letting myself fall in love, even if I know my uncle will disapprove, when two little pink lines appear. I brace myself for impact because the only thing I know about love is that it doesn’t last.
But JT doesn’t leave my side. He slays my dragons and rubs my feet and makes me reconsider everything I thought I knew.
Is this really something I can believe in, or will our world come crashing down just when we need each other the most?
***
Brick Wall is the third book in the Bainbridge U hockey series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you love a stoic hero who’ll do anything to protect the woman he loves and the family they’ve created, no matter who tries to stop him, JT Norris will melt your kindle. If you can’t resist a jaded heroine who learns to trust again, Maggie Baylor is your kinda girl. If you want all the laughs, all the feels, and every single bit of steam, and no third act break-up, then settle in with your favorite snack—Maggie recommends dark chocolate peanut butter cups—and dive into this forbidden love, surprise baby college hockey romance.
It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.
After my breakup, I need to find a job and place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that, so I stop by and find out if he can move at the end of his lease.
Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one-night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch, and he’s demanding a paternity test.
Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. He doesn’t believe me. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to persuade him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves me jaded.
He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. And the longer I’m around him, the more I can see that below his gruff exterior is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. A man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.
