Grizz is a scorching, emotionally charged hockey romance about two people who were never supposed to fall for each other, and the bruising, tender, inevitable collision that happens when they do.
Her grandfather’s sacrifice was supposed to spare her from this life, but his death has pulled her right back home to the ranch she thought she’d left behind for good. Now she’s fighting with her brother for the right to save it. She has a plan but no one will listen to her.
Her brother’s solution is to bring in outsiders, that’s what she says. He claims without the club’s help, the ranch is doomed.
But I see the genius in Della’s vision.
And this ain’t our first rodeo. Literally.
Now we’re up against more than just her brother. Between small minds, big business, and a bunch of folks who don’t think Della belongs here, she’s determined to prove everyone wrong. And I’m determined to prove to her the spark that’s igniting between us is a whole lot more than basic attraction. Can we protect what’s rightfully hers—and ours—or will outside forces burn our new dreams to ashes?
LEFT FIELD is a spicy Pro Baseball, Forced Proximity, Vacation Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.
After accepting an offer from a luxury resort in the Bahamas, my dream of becoming a travel influencer is finally within reach. I just need one thing to make me stand out…like the pro baseball player I run into on my first night.
Archer Bradley is here for the opposite. He doesn’t want attention. He definitely doesn’t want me crashing his dinner with a smile and a camera. He’s broody and distant, but he’s also hot and charming. One night tangled in his sheets has me addicted.
When he finds out what I do, he makes me promise not to feature him. And the more time I spend with him, the easier it becomes to respect that boundary—especially as he starts to see the real me behind my camera-ready smile.
I didn’t come here to fall for some athlete, but somewhere between couples’ yoga and sunset walks on the beach, I did.
Now I have to choose between the career I’ve worked for my entire life and the love that slammed into me straight out of left field.

⚾️Review⚾️ Archer comes from a family of athletes however his chosen sport is baseball rather than football. Archer’s life is in turmoil both personally and professionally due to his father’s betrayal and he know finds himself suspended from his team for 40 games. Needing to distance himself from the situation he heads to the Bahamas where he meets Millie.
Millie has been trying to get her travel blog off the ground and the offer she received from a resort in the Bahamas might just be the solution. When she arrives and finds out that Archer is there as well it seemed like fate however he wants no part of her attempts to feature him on her blog. Despite their differences on the situation there is no denying the chemistry between them, but will her career be the one obstacle they can’t overcome?
We have met Archer previously in the series but seeing what he is going through allows us to really get to know him. The feelings between Archer and Millie are undeniable, the connection they feel for each other intense, and the emotional pull of his story will draw you in and won’t let you go.
I made the critical mistake of falling in love with my best friend. Even worse? He fell for me too.
But beautiful things are fleeting. The onset of my depression blinded me to the warning signs and when I needed him most, he vanished with only a cryptic note.
Now, as I finish college in the town we swore we’d escape, I’m finding myself more lost than ever. Trying to drown out the misery in my mind, I tag along to a party when the ghost of my past returns looking as haunted as me.
I can’t fall for Win Rhodes again.
I won’t survive it.
But he’s not giving me a choice.
WIN:
It should’ve been a wake-up call to move back home with my parents after failing out of college and getting discharged from rehab. But that would imply I have something to live for. Idiotically, I agree to attend a rager, either from boredom or an innate drive to sabotage my sobriety, I’m not sure. Though, all plans of nose-diving into my vices come to a screeching halt when I stumble across him.
My sunshine boy.
The very one I had to leave behind.
I think I’ve rediscovered my purpose: Make Remy Sullivan mine again.

Couple goals and shattered promises brought feelings of failure on both our parts.

Enter Dart Rivers again.
An accident on the track leads to him sneaking into the house, crashing on my couch, and announcing he’s 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 I’ve 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 Dart’s new promises?

She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.
When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.

MAREN
Everyone in Gator Flats knows Knox.
They know the sound of his bike rolling through the swamp. The way men step aside when he walks into a room. And they know my father shot his brother and somehow kept his badge.
I should hate Knox.
Instead, every time he looks at me, I feel like he sees the parts of me I’ve spent my whole life trying to hide while working at the Magnolia Bait and Marine Supply.
Wanting him is dangerous.
But maybe staying exactly who I’ve always been is worse.
KNOX
I rule Gator Flats.
Seventeen years wearing the president’s patch, and every man in this swamp answers to me. So when someone gives up a club member’s location to an enemy, I take it personal.
What I don’t need is Maren Caldwell driving past my compound like her father didn’t change both our lives forever.
She’s too young. Too tied to things that never washed clean. And every time I look at her, I forget that wanting something and taking it are two different things.
🏍️Review🏍️ All Maren wants is to manage the business that she inherited from her grandfather and keep her distance from her father, the town sheriff with his own agenda, as well as the MC. When she finds herself caught in a dangerous situation through no fault of her own the last thing she wants is to see Knox at her door and the domino of events that it would start.
Knox is the President of the Iron Outlaws MC who would do anything for his MC. He has a preconceived idea of what Maren is like because of what her father did to his family, so their first meeting doesn’t go well. Finding out that she is caught in the middle of events that she has no control over his feeling for her change from foe to protector.
The interactions between them were engaging and the feelings between them are power. Even though they appear to be opposites in every way and that people wouldn’t want them to be together that isn’t enough to turn away from the love they share.

I can’t decide if my new summer tenant—a devastatingly handsome hockey player and single dad—is 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, I’m knocked sideways. He’s charming with me and adorable with his son. And when we touch, it’s electric.
But two things change everything. The pipes break in the cottage, and his agent calls. Before I can stop myself, I’m offering him a place to stay, and Daniel is offering me the answer to my problems. He’ll 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 he’s leaving in a few months, it’s suddenly more complicated than ever.
I’m willing to take a chance on us and pour my heart into a letter. But with him skating on thin ice, he’s going to have to sacrifice something—me or his career.
I just hope XOXO, Summer isn’t the last thing I ever say to him.
🐝Review🐝 Daniel and his son Roman are spending the summer at Mountain Laurel Cove as he doesn’t get to spend as much time as he would like during the season due to the demands of playing hockey professionally. Summer is managing the rental property they are staying in so when a plumbing issue arises she suggests they stay in her family home.
When her parents passed away Summer feels responsible for her family so it is important that Daniel and his son stay for the summer Both she and Daniel receive a setback to their careers so they come to an arrangement where they will pretend to be in a relationship where she will help him with his reputation, and he will help her with a rental property however there is nothing pretend about their feelings for each other.
Despite their very different lifestyles Daniel and Summer fit together like pieces of a puzzle and Roman just completed the story. The atmosphere of Mountain Laurel Cove has me wanting to visit and although they had a little angst you also believed they would find a way to get the future they both wanted. Sean Masters and Callie Dalton were a perfect match for the characters and made the story even more compelling.
The ‘Ice Wall’ is about to melt, and the heat is enough to set the rink on fire.
JAXSON I’m the most impenetrable goalie in the league. On the ice, I stop everything. Off the ice? I’ve mastered the art of emotional defense with a luxurious penthouse that’s one throw pillow away from a furniture catalog and a social life that makes hermit crabs look outgoing. My carefully controlled world hits the boards when a stunning woman in an emerald dress scores on me where it counts—straight through the heart. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. She’s also everything I can’t have.
HARPER I’m an ER nurse who can handle anything the emergency room throws at me—severed fingers, mystery rashes, people who “definitely didn’t” put that there. But nothing prepared me for Jaxson Thorne, who’s obsessive, possessive, and checking all the boxes on my brother’s “Absolutely Not” list. Because plot twist: My brother is Jaxson’s on-ice nemesis. Jaxson and Harper are playing for keeps in a league of family loyalty and professional rivalries. Can their love survive going public? Or will the truth put them both in the penalty box permanently?
Slap Shot Kisses is a brother’s-rival sports romance featuring a fiercely possessive hero, a heroine who refuses to be benched, and enough steam to fog up the plexiglass. Perfect for readers who like their hockey players broody and their happy endings guaranteed. ❤️🔥
🏒Review Jaxon is the goalie for the Seattle Knight who is known to be a brick wall when it comes to his opposition, but he also has walls when it comes to his personal life. Everything he has is focused on his career which doesn’t allow him a personal life. When he meets Harper she is the first person to make him feel and he wants a future with her even if her brother is a rival on the ice.
Harper is very close to her brother, and she knows how he would feel about her dating any hockey player but especially Jaxon. When he arrives in the ER where she works she gets to see his softer side and when she finally agrees to go out with him not only is the chemistry between them intense, but he is also thoughtful and caring and isn’t about to let her brother come between them.
Jaxon and Harper were so much fun together. He has been used to being alone and not allowing people close so seeing how Harper supported and stood up for him was so touching to see.
A heart-mending romance for a small town marriage-in-repair between reunited lovers seeking a second chance at love later in life.

I should keep my distance.
Instead, I become obsessed with making her feel safe again. Feeding her. Holding her through nightmares. Touching her like she’s something precious instead of something broken.

This is personal.
And when they take her from me a second time, they make one fatal mistake—
