For Sensei Koreen, life never stops moving—neither does she. When her perfectly hectic routine is turned upside down by the arrival of a man meant to remain a memory, she is compelled to face the truth…and the secrets locked away in her heart.

Brought together by a passion that could put a raging storm to shame, will they finally be brave enough to reach out for a love long since hidden...or will the walls of the past keep them apart once more?

But my would-be knight would have to do. I needed an escape route from my brother…his biggest rival.

Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players.

⠀

Cocky.

Frustratingly sexy.

Accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm.

⠀

With his sultry smile that tells me he knows all the ways to make girls come undone with his touch, I’m almost the next score on his stats. Except I have no time for distractions when I’m focused on graduating early. Gaining Easton’s attention wasn’t part of my plans. Of course, from the moment he catches me shaking my 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘴 on the bar, he decides I’m his next goal.

Instead of sticking to my own rules, I do something I shouldn’t: 𝘐 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘺.

Tijan's newest hockey with benefits romance is LIVE!!!!

Grab it at @tijansbooks or www.tijansbooks.com

Hockey With Benefits by Tijan is now live!

Description

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down.

She said no feelings and she meant it.

Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship.

College was her escape, including us.

I didn't have time for a girlfriend.

I had classes, the team, my family, and the game.

It was all working too...

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy.

Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more.

Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal.

Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book has it all! It was passionate and intense, it’s heartbreaking and hopeful, it’s sexy and emotional, poignant, and filled full of drama, lots of drama. It’s gripping, all consuming, and so addictive, it will take your breath away. It brings all the feels, I laughed, cried and cheered and got all melty, watching these two finally lay down their armor and give in to the love. Five huge stars for Hockey With Benefits by Tijan.

Mara Daniels doesn’t do relationships, and she doesn’t have any friends. She has learned that it’s best if she keeps her walls up and relies only on herself. But she does like sex, and the chemistry between Mara Daniels and Cruz Styles is sizzling from the moment they meet. But it’s just sex, no friendship, no texting just hookups.

Cruz loved the deal when she presented it to him, because he didn’t need a girlfriend. Hockey took too much of his time, along with his family and school. It was a win, win. Until… it isn’t.

Cruz sees Mara the real Mara and understands her more than she knows. Their story will pull at your heartstrings. I believe the circumstances of our childhood shapes us into the adults we become, even more than genetics. The traumas we have to survive and the way we are made to feel about ourselves stay with us.

This amazing story touches on some abuse issues. It was beautiful to watch Cruz and Mara peel back the layers of each other as they take back their lives. But the love and friendship that surrounds Mara and Cruz is humbling as they struggle with secrets, threats, rivals and feelings. I loved learning about both of their past, and being with them in the present, I understood and empathized with every thought and emotion. A thought provoking, captivating romance with all the feels!!

I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Alright, y’all, if you’ve never picked up a hockey romance before: it’s time.

Especially because “Icebreaker” by Hannah Grace delivers a figure skater, the captain of the hockey team, enough heat to melt the rink, *and* the emotional weight to match. What’s more, there’s a whole cast of diverse characters to fall in love with and enough plot to balance ~all the spice~.

Though I really loved the characters in this book (Nate gives The Deal’s Garrett Graham a run for his ultimate hockey romance book boyfriend money), there were times it felt a bit too long and you do spend time with characters that in the long run fall away. But even so, it’s still so fun that you won’t want to put it down.

Ultimately, “Icebreaker” is an extremely enjoyable contemporary romance that will give you all sorts of feels and leave you hoping for several companion novels in the same world.

NEW RELEASE & BOOK REVIEW

Walk of Shame by Avery Flynn is now live! 

One night. No strings. And a really good puck.

Five years ago, Astrid O’Malley experienced the ultimate in public humiliation. Being dumped at the altar by her childhood sweetheart was horrifying enough. That fact that he was a professional hockey goalie and her dad was his coach? It was all anyone in sports could talk about.

Eff hockey. Eff goalies.

These days, Astrid lives a life (mostly) free of hockey and free to pursue whoever she wants with exactly zero shame in her game. Like tonight’s hook-up. This guy’s nailed the lumberjack aesthetic perfectly. Especially when he has the stamina and creativity to back it up.

Because the rule is: it’s one night only. Which is gonna be a problem because she’s just discovered he lives in the apartment upstairs.

And he’s joined her dad’s team. As the goalie coach. To train her ex.

Now Astrid is in some kind of hockey hell–filled with her ex, her family, and the best sex of her life. And somehow she’s been roped back onto the team.

Puck my life.

WALK OF SHAME BY AVERY FLYNN

BOOK REVIEW

Wow Astrid is the pro at the "Walk of Shame", having done it a few times in this book. I felt sorry for her in the beginning of the book as her world crumbles around her. Giving up on everything that she loved to try and forget the past is a horrible way to deal with it. Giving Cal her last bag of Cheetos was the best thing she could have done, as this gave fate the opening she needed to change her life.

Cal's career is over and he will do anything to get back on the ice even as a coach. Jumping on the chance to have a shot at doing what he loves most, hockey. But when a one night stand turns into someone forbidden, the risk at losing everything is too great to take a chance.

This romantic comedy is full of whit and sarcasm that will have you laughing your butt off. But it also has a serious side that will make you feel for the characters and the troubles they encounter. It also has some really dirty scenes if you know what I mean. "wink, wink" Together all these things make for a truly amazing and fun read that is sure to provide you with hours of entertainment. The characters are amazing and strong and also includes cameos of past characters from other books the author has written. This adds an authenticity to her books, making them feel real and connected.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and loved the comedic way the story is told. I love Avery Flynn and have read about 90% of her books starting with Muffin Top. Each book has a heroine who suffers at some time or another in her life, then meets a wonderful guy who will bring her walls down and show her the true meaning of happiness. This book is no different and I cannot wait to read more.

💜BLURB💜

I accidentally hooked up with the guy I despise. A mistake I’d love to forget…except now he’s my new roommate.

⠀

Reese Landry is Orleans University’s arrogant, All-Star catcher.

And I’m the one girl he can’t seem to catch.

If anything, it only makes him want me more.

⠀

He’s disgustingly rich, stupidly charming, and everyone loves him.

Except me.

⠀

But then life throws me the ultimate curveball: He’s my new temporary roomie.

I thought it was going to be easy, keeping him at a distance.

Turns out, I was wrong.

⠀

He’s nothing like the cocky, rich playboy that I thought he was.

I told myself one more time wouldn’t hurt.

We promised to keep things casual, no strings attached.

But soon lines blur, and he somehow becomes my only safe space to land.

⠀

And now, we’re catching feelings.

Catching Feelings is book 2 in the Orleans University series and can be read as a complete standalone.

I fell for my secret pen pal believing we would never meet but now.. he’s my husband.

I needed a husband, and he strode in like prince charming, taking me up on the marriage pact from our past. One that I never imagined actually happening.

Our I do’s were meant to be temporary, a walk-off wedding that benefited us both.

But when he takes our vows more seriously than I expect, old feelings begin to resurface.

Now we’re sharing a too small apartment and he’s everywhere.

In my room, in my bed, and… in my heart.

Our marriage is supposed to be fake, but I think I’m falling for my husband.

Blurb:

I’m not the hero in this story.

I’m the villain...

The notoriously angry, grouchy, D.C. Eagles defenseman that just can’t keep his temper in check. The temper that leads to a fifteen game suspension from the NHL.

As if that’s not bad enough, I'm forced into a short term youth-hockey coaching gig. Which my manager swears will “rebuild my image.”

But what I didn’t expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother.

Something about this spitfire of a woman, and the boy she’s so protective of, has my defenses melting.

And if I’m not careful, I’ll burst into flames, forever melting the ice I’ve carefully kept around my heart.

(This is a closed-door romcom with mild language. Trigger warnings include: parental substance abuse & dealing with grief/loss of parents).
