She’s off limits. Plus, she’s your star player’s sister.
πReviewπ Zane is focused on his career as a coach in the NHL and the pressure is only ramped up when he is not only named the youngest head coach in the league but not everyone is happy with the teamβs choice. The pressure only increases when he finds out that the woman who still lives rent free in his head after one night is also the sister of one of his players.
Victoria has recently moved to be close to her brother however the last person she expected to see again is Zane or that he was her brotherβs coach. Deciding that one night was all they would share seemed like the best path going forward however the chemistry and connection between them was undeniable even with the complications it brings.
Vanessa Moyen was the perfect choice for Victoria as she brings out the sassy and feisty sides of Victoria while Aiden Snow brings out the serious and protective sides of Zane. The chemistry between them was fire and Victoria wasnβt about to accept less than what she deserved while Zane realizes that life with her is so much more fun than life without her.
What if Little Red Riding Hood ran away with the Big Bad Wolf?
I give you Rosamund Briar and Valerian Canagan: the Frost Princess and the Wolf.
βYou like what you donβt understand, until it snaps you up, chews you bloody, and spits you out. Then the monsters donβt seem so pretty anymore, do they?β
What if Little Red Riding Hood ran away with the Big Bad Wolf?
But one fine evening, her stepfather welcomes a werewolf into the great hall and announces the beast will accompany her on her journey to meet her husband⦠as her bodyguard.
Now Rosamund is forced into close proximity with one of the creatures who once tormented her. A dark fae werewolf. The stuff of nightmares.
Valerian is every bit a nightmare. Even muzzled and collared, heβs dangerous. A snarling beast, barely contained.
So why does he allow her to hold his leash? Why does he take his bodyguard role so seriously? And why, why canβt she look away from his golden eyes?
The wait is finally overβWall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with a brand-new hockey romance series: Shots on GoalβMN Frosthawks.
Alois MΓΌller is professional hockeyβs favorite villain.
The Minnesota Frosthawksβ veteran enforcer is known for brutal hits, wicked honesty, and a glare thatβs started more headlines than the league will ever admit.
So when a viral scandal threatens the teamβs reputation, management gives him one last chance to clean up his imageβ¦ or hang up his jersey forever.
Enter Beatriz βBeaβ Ribeiro.
Brilliant. Unflappable. And the youngest PR strategist the organization has ever hired.
Her first assignment?
Rehabilitate the leagueβs most notorious troublemaker before he destroys the Frosthawksβ season.
Simple.
Except Alois MΓΌller refuses to be handled.
Managing him means babysitting a six-foot-four walking PR disaster with ice-blue eyes, a temper the league loves to hateβ¦ and a talent for getting under Beaβs skin like no one else.
Unfortunately for both of them, the solution to his scandal is worse than the problem.
A fake relationship.
Suddenly Bea is stuck beside the one man who seems determined to drive her insane.
Press conferences.
Charity galas.
Team flights.
And one very convincing series of staged dates.
The rules are simple:
Donβt fight in public.
Donβt break the script.
And absolutely do not start believing the chemistry.
But the more time they spend pretending to be in love, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks neither of them wants to admit are real.
Because beneath Aloisβs reputation is a fiercely loyal teammate, a devastating flirt, and a man who looks at Bea like sheβs the only person in the room.
Meanwhile Bea is trying to keep her career on track, keep the teamβs image intact, and stop her extremely judgmental Selkirk Rex cat from declaring war on the six-foot-four hockey enforcer suddenly invading their lives.
Now the entire league is watching.
Their chemistry is trending.
And the biggest lie theyβve ever told might be turning into the one thing neither of them can walk away from.
Public Enemy #91 was supposed to be a media strategy.
Instead, it might be the most dangerous play of their lives.
πReviewπ
Alois is a man who acts or speaks first and doesnβt consider the consequences until afterwards. It is for this reason that his hockey career is in jeopardy if he doesnβt improve his image. He is not happy that Bea has been tasked with helping him and that only increases when not only do they need to pretend to be in a relationship but end up living together as well.
Bea is ready to begin her career in PR and working for the Frosthawks is the perfect opportunity until she meets Alois and realizes what a challenge it is going to be and that was before she found out they needed to pretend to be in a relationship. She believes she knows the man he is but she may be the one in for a surprise.
This is a story about two people who are trying to protect their careers and love isnβt part of that plan. The banter is entertaining, the romance is touching and the characters draw you in.

I canβt decide if my new summer tenantβa devastatingly handsome hockey player and single dadβis the answer to my problems or the start of a new one.
When big-city developers threaten to buy up my small town, I need to save the rental cottage next door from demolition. I have a plan . . . until Daniel Sutton checks in.
Six-four, a face chiseled by the gods, and a body built by a career on the ice, Iβm knocked sideways. Heβs charming with me and adorable with his son. And when we touch, itβs electric.
But two things change everything. The pipes break in the cottage, and his agent calls. Before I can stop myself, Iβm offering him a place to stay, and Daniel is offering me the answer to my problems. Heβll buy the cottage for me if I help him clean up his reputation.
Sounds simple enough. But when I start to fall in love with him, even though I know heβs leaving in a few months, itβs suddenly more complicated than ever.
Iβm willing to take a chance on us and pour my heart into a letter. But with him skating on thin ice, heβs going to have to sacrifice somethingβme or his career.
I just hope XOXO, Summer isnβt the last thing I ever say to him.
The Roommate Rules by Brighton Walsh Release date: 5/7/26 BUY LINK: geni.us/TRRSB
Available in ebook (Kindle Unlimited), duet narrated audio, and standard and discreet special edition paperbacks.
BLURB: Starlight Cove’s prim little librarian has despised me since the first day I parked my motorcycle on her sidewalk. Now our feud has landed us as roommatesβ¦and she just asked me to teach her every dirty thing she’s never experienced.
Making Penelope Shea lose her mind has been my favorite hobby since she moved here. But our infamous daily sparring backfires when the town’s meddling grandma sentences us to five hundred hours of community serviceβ¦or thirty days of living together.
Penelope chooses cohabitation with the enemy to protect her spotless record. I agree because watching her unravel sounds like fun.
What I don’t expect is to discover my rule-enforcing roommate has secretsβnamely, a hidden career penning filthy romances and a list of sinful lessons she’s written about but never learned firsthand.
Like an idiot, I volunteer as her tutor.
Penelope calls it research. I call it trouble. Because somewhere between her first lesson and her first tattoo, she goes from being in my head to being in my bed.
Now she’s under my skin as permanently as my ink is under hers.
Our month is almost up. But I’ve never been good with rulesβand letting her walk away isn’t one I plan to follow.
TROPES Hate to love Sex lessons Bad boy/good girl Roommates to lovers Grumpy x sunshine Forced proximity
πReviewπ Penelope is the town librarian who looks to be strait laced from her button up cardigans to the way she reports any perceived wrongdoing that Declan does. Rather than the council taking him to task they decide a compromise is in order and they are now roommates. The only problem with this arrangement is he soon learns her secret and is more than willing to help with research.
Declan lives by his own set of rules, and he takes great pleasure in getting a reaction from Penelope. Becoming roommates is not a hardship and learning her secret only makes her more intriguing. He is dedicated when it comes to helping her with her research and the more time they spend together the more he wonders about facing the future without her.
The chemistry between them is off the charts and the romance is enchanting as they bring out feelings in each other that they have never felt before. When it comes to his siblings and their significant others they bring the humor and you can feel how supportive they are of each other. Aiden Snow and Charlotte North bring both the fun and feelings between Penelope and North and make this story even more entertaining.

Releasing June 25, 2026
From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart.
I never planned to end up pregnant, alone, and starting over. But life unraveled faster than I could hold it together, and now the only thing that matters is protecting my baby⦠even if I have no idea what comes next.
Taking a live-in nanny job for Laiken Lennox is supposed to be temporary. A fresh start. A safe place to land while I rebuild my life. It’s not supposed to be dangerous.
Laiken is my brotherβs teammate. My new boss. A guarded NHL goalie and devoted single dad already fighting a custody battle.
I tell myself I can handle the proximity. The late nights. The way he looks at me like Iβm something worth saving. But living under his roof blurs every line I swore I wouldnβt cross. Especially when he starts caring for me in ways no one else ever has.
Iβm carrying another manβs baby. Heβs the last person I should fall for. But the more time we spend together, the more Laiken feels like the one thing I canβt lose. And when the truth comes out, it could cost me everything.
Promise Me This is a forbidden, slow-burn pro hockey romance featuring a protective single dad, an off-limits nanny, and a secret that could tear them apart. Itβs book four in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.
A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.
Dart Rivers is my ex-husband, or so I thought.
Three years ago, he drove out of our small town to chase racing dreams, leaving me and my broken heart in his rearview mirror.
Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.
Then one night, a special delivery is left on my back step. A stork-drop of sorts. (Think Baby Boom). At first, I believe there must be a mistake, but when the sweet bundle swaddled in pink gazes at me, Iβll do anything to keep her.
Enter Dart Rivers again.
An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing heβs still mine.
Close proximity provides honest conversations, friendly couch time, and familiar attractions. With silver speckled in his hair, Dart is still the best-looking man Iβve ever seen, making my belly flutter and my heart beat again.
But can I trust that fragile organ? Can I give my ex-not-ex-husband a second chance? Can I believe Dartβs new promises?
+ + +
Rogue River series is a spin-off from the Sterling Falls series, specifically Sterling Touch, giving readers small-town romances with characters over 40.
So I ask him what itβll take for her to back down.
A boyfriend.
I make one up, telling her it’s too early to introduce him, which works up until she walks in on a heated private conversation between me and Cormac, my soon-to-be stepbrother.
She comes to a wild conclusion: the reason Iβve been keeping my boyfriend secret is because it’s him.
I should definitely set her straight. Cormac is the last person I’d ever date, and not just because our parents are about to get married. Iβve known him since high school, and heβs awkward, introverted, and has the people skills of a houseplant.
But I’m desperate enough to tell the worst lie ever.
Cormac
Nora begs me to be her secret fake boyfriendβan act that only has to work on two people.
Any sane man would refuse, but Iβve promised my father to make peace with her. So I present her with an offer: dog sit my corgi for a weekend, and Iβll be the fake boyfriend of your dreams.
She accepts quickly, because she’s never met my dog.
Thereβs only one problem: I had a huge crush on Nora in high school, and the more time we spend together, the more I realize it never went away.
**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series**
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
A spicy open door version with some strong language and sex scenes
A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
