Review: Puck Shy

  Title: Puck Shy Series: Carolina Comets Author: Teagan Hunter Release Date: October 28, 2021 I’m having the definition of a bad year. Game Six loss costing my team the Cup? Check. Getting arrested and ruining my image? Check. Almost getting run over after my car breaks down? Oh, look—a hat trick. My contract is up with the Carolina Comets this year, and I need to get it together if I want to stay with the team. I need relaxation, not a relationship. But when I’m scrolling on a dating app and stumble across the pretty girl who almost ran me over, I know I can’t let her walk away this time. Harper is funny, smart, and doesn’t care about hockey. I’m not supposed to be focusing on anything other than my career, yet I can’t get Harper off my mind. I know I shouldn’t fall for her…but I think I already have. PUCK SHY is a standalone hockey romantic comedy. It's good, low angst fun with some hot hockey players. Ok, so as you know, I'm not a huge sports fan. I don't norm...

Review: Lords of Mercy

  Title: Lords of Mercy Series: Royals of Forsyth University Authors: Angel Lawson & Samantha Rue Release Date: October 15, 2021 I came back to Forsyth and agreed to be their Lady for two reasons: protection and revenge. I put up with the abuse, the degradation, the humiliation, and bided my time. I wanted vengeance and I took it. The Lords give as good as they get and the consequences were fierce, but there’s one truth when it comes to Killian, Dimitri and Tristian. They keep what’s theirs. They wanted to break me, but instead, they molded me into their perfect weakness. They fought for me. Bled for me. Championed for me. I was put through the gauntlet and came out stronger. I earned the title of Lady. Then they became my weakness. I agreed to sleep under their roof, but on my terms. No more rules, no more punishments, no cameras or dress codes or sneaking into my bedroom. In return, I'll give them a chance to earn the title of Lord. Building trust takes time, but with ...
