Review: Face Off

 


Title: Face Off

Series: Seattle Serpents

Author: Teagan Hunter

Release Date: January 18 



I have two goals this season:

1. Stay single.

2. Get Rory Sinclair to admit she doesn’t completely hate me.


When I find a stray dog roaming the streets of Seattle, the last place I expect to end up is in the office of a grumpy veterinarian—the one woman who can resist my charm. Twin to my teammate’s girlfriend, Rory is full of fire, but I’m not afraid of her flame.


It doesn’t take long for me to realize that the more time we spend together, the more I want it to last. But no matter how hard I try, Rory only sees me as a playboy, refusing to take me seriously.


One weekend trip to a cabin later, I think I have my in…but only if I can get her to admit her feelings toward me aren’t all bad.


Only one of us will win this face-off, and I intend for it to be me.



FACE OFF is a standalone hockey romance novel. It has a golden retriever hockey player, a grumpy veterinarian who is unamused by him, rowdy teammates, absurd text conversations, the perfect amount of steam, and a happy ending.

Aw, I loved this.

So I have been in a bit of a slump- what with the holidays stress, my bday & stressing about my daughters upcoming birthday. But I can always count on Teagan's books to lift my spirits. 

So, the Settle Serpents is a series of standalone hockey romances- and even though Face Off is book 2 in the series you don't have to read book one before hand (but I definitely recommend it). 

Lawson is the funny, jock playboy, and the one who started the Serpent Singles group chat among players of the Seattle Serpents. So no one would ever expect for him to find love. But when he stumbled upon a puppy in an ally it was fate. Not only because he fell in love with the puppy, but because it led him to Rory's vet clinic. 

Rory is a workaholic, owning not one but two top vet clinics in Seattle. She also has a smart mouth, and a mean streak. She isn't known for her sunshine personality. She is known to dislike people in general. And Lawson? She dislikes him the most. 

Sooo, Lawson has golden retriever energy, and Rory had black cat energy. He is the sunshine and she is the grump but together they just work. And I love these books- they always bring a smile to my face and make me laugh, and this one is no different. I enjoyed Lawson and Rory's story. They were cute and cheesy (ok mostly him) and perfect. 

So if you love romcoms and hockey romance do not sleep on Face Off. And I cannot wait to see what happens next in the series. 

5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

3🌶️ out of 5🌶️ - multiple detailed scenes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Hi, I’m Teagan!


I write steamy romantic comedies with lots of sarcasm and a side of heart. I love pizza, hockey, and romance novels, though not in that order. When not writing, you can find me watching entirely too many hours of Supernatural, One Tree Hill, or New Girl. I’m mildly obsessed with Halloween and prefer cooler weather. I married my high school sweetheart, and we currently live in the PNW.
