Review: Empty Net

 

Title: Empty Net

Series: Seattle Serpents 

Author: Teagan Hunter 

Release Date: April 10, 2025

I have two goals this season:

1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.

2. Don’t fall for my fake fiancée.

When Lilah Maddison’s mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she’s not interested in, she blurts out that she’s already seeing someone. The problem? She’s single.

So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we’re no longer just dating—we’re engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.

She’s funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we’re playing a dangerous game, yet I can’t stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn’t be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.

It’s my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can’t win…and I might not want to.

Goodreads | Purchase 

I have been feeling a bit down lately, so I was glad to get Empty Net bc Teagan's books always make me kick-my-feet-giddy. 

Fox is the goalie for Seattle Serpents and he has two goals this season: to help get Seattle Serpents to the playoffs and not fall for his fake fiancee. 

When Lilah's mother keeps trying to set Lilah up on dates she doesn't want she blurts out she's seeing someone despite being single. So fox steps in & agrees to be her fake-boyfriend. But what was supposed to be one fake-date ended up being a fake-engagement and now Fox and Lilah may be in over their heads. The rules were simple - don't fall in love - but what happens when the lines become blurred? The relationship may be fake but the feelings are real. 

So, as always, I loved Teagan's book. They always make me swoon and laugh out loud. 

Fox was a sweet southern gentleman -  who is more than just the goalie. He is a cinnamon roll & would do anything for his friends - like agree to a fake engagement to get their parents off their back. 

Lilah is driven, funny, and so much more. She may be trying to figure out what to do with her life after Auden sold the hotel where she worked with her, but she isn't afraid to speak her mind - except to her parents, which is what landed her in needing a fake boyfriend in the first place. 

This book was cute, and funny and had me swooning. I loved every second of it & loved Fox and Lilah's relationship. I loved how both characters had quirks but each accepted the other's effortlessly - without question. The this book may have had some heavy topics (emotional abuse from parents) the character does stand up to them & cut ties with them to get their HEA. It was sweet with some steam & the perfect read, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. 

If you are looking for a sports romance that will bring some humor and spice - then you need to grab Empty Net.

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.

Review: Best Friends For Never

 

Title: Best Friends For Never 

Author: Teagan Hunter 

Release Date: February 25

The movie star and the small-town girl he left behind. They have a lot of catching up to do in an emotional and rousing romantic comedy about fame, second chances, and making dreams come true.

Parker Pruitt’s dream is to restore her small town’s long-shuttered theater—one to be named in honor of Noel Carter, the boy who followed his dream from Emerald Grove, Washington, to Hollywood…and broke Parker’s heart. Now he’s back to attend the kickoff ceremony, and for Parker, that means smiling through a swell of mixed emotions at seeing her former best friend for the first time in a decade.

Noel may be one of the hottest actors in the world, but he’s still touched by the tribute. And a little nervous about seeing Parker again. But when his weekend jaunt extends into a six-week stay, long-repressed memories and feelings come rushing back. As the simmering attraction between them builds, Noel is determined not to ruin this second chance even if his return to LA is hanging over them.

They’re making the best of the time they have left, but is there any chance of a Hollywood ending?

Goodreads | Preorder 

So I have been in a little bit of a slump recently - between wanting to continue series but the library currently not having the books in, to my emotions being all over the place and a filling breaking causing me pain for days - not to mention my daughter having to get braces that fell off two days later during the holidays when the dentist office isn't even open, I've just been dealing with a lot. So it was nice being able to get an arc of this book I have been looking forward to for months, to get lost in. 

Noel is a movie star. A dream he has been working towards for a long time. He left town, and his best friend Parker who he was in love with ten years ago, not once returning to the town he grew up in. Not until an anonymous donor dontates funds to renovate the theater that closed down when Noel & Parker were teens. Parker just happens to be head of the renovation committee. What happens when Noel returns to the town, and best friend he left behind? 

This was such a a cute contemporary romance. I loved Noel & Parker's story & it was exactly what I needed to get through a crazy few days. And I loved the references to her other books & characters as well. If your looking for a cute friends to lovers romance then I definitely recommend this book.

Review: Delayed Penalty

 

Title: Delayed Penalty

Series: Seattle Serpents

Author: Teagan Hunter 

Release Date: September 12 

I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m not a complete screwup.
2. Stay away from the nanny.

I’m hardly able to keep myself out of trouble, let alone a seven-year-old, but when my estranged brother gets a life sentence, I have no choice but to clean up my act and take the kid in.

It’s all going according to plan…until I’m forced to hire Quinn Benson.

She’s everything I need to avoid—flighty, messy, creating chaos everywhere she goes. But she makes my niece happy, so I hire her anyway, keeping our interactions as brief as possible, even when she moves in with me.

Thing is, the more she’s around, the more I want her around—and not just as a nanny. I can’t seem to stop falling into bed with her even when I know I shouldn’t. Quinn goes against everything I’m trying to accomplish, but I can’t stay away.

This might be one delayed penalty I don’t mind serving…

DELAYED PENALTY is a standalone hockey romance novel. There's a single guardian a bit on the grumpy side, a sunshine nanny who doesn't take any crap from him, an adorable little girl you'll want to hug and keep safe, ridiculous teammates who make way too crude jokes, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

Goodreads | Preorder | 

Delayed Penalty follows Adam Hayes - trouble-making hockey player who just got a call that changed his life. Now he has two goals for the upcoming hockey season - prove to his new team the Seattle Serpents he isn't a complete screw up and to stay away from the nanny. 

When his estranged brother landed himself in jail- he became the unexpected guardian of his seven year old niece he had no idea he had, flipping his life upside down. Now he is trying to prove not only to his team the Seattle Serpents but himself and his niece that he isn't a complete screw up. But when his hockey season is quickly approaching, he needs a nanny for his niece pronto. And Quinn, his favorite bakery owner's daughter- just so happened to be between jobs. But she also happens to be messy, flighty and creates chaos- everything Hayes needs to avoid. So why is the more time she is around, the more Hayes struggles to stay away? 

So, first - this book is a rom-com but does have some trigger warnings - with mention of drug selling & use, jail, & child abandonment, and abuse and parent death - all of which are only lightly touched upon, but worth noting. 

Second, this book was everything - I loved not only the emotion it pulled out but the humor & fun of this book. 

I loved Hayes, he may have been grumpy & a bit of a screw up who was trying to get his life together after being thrust into a guardian role after never wanting kids, but he cared for those close to him. 

Quinn may have been a bit chaotic, who may have struggled with jobs, and may have struggled with the bills she was drowning in, but she may have found something she loved in nannying for the grump hockey player. And she had something to prove- that she could not only get her life together, but take care of herself but a kid too. 

The unlikely pair kept falling in bed together, sneaking around. And even though they shouldn't have worked, how alike they were, and how they annoyed each other- they did. & I loved them together, & young Flora too. 

If your looking for your next hockey read, I definitely recommend Delayed Penalty.

Review: The DM Diaries

 

Title: The DM Diaries 

Author: Teagan Hunter 

Release Date: July 2, 2024

Falling in love with a guy like this is easy. Finally meeting him is a different story in a funny, flirty, and emotional romantic comedy about celebrity, secrets, and plus-sized dreams.

Olive O’Brien is a plus-size influencer with half a million followers and big dreams. And she’s feeling the pressure to stand out while staying true to herself. To cope, Olive finds solace in an unexpected place: the DMs of Jasper Rafferty, the world’s hottest movie star, where she feels safe to share her hopes, fears, and secrets because it’s not like he’ll read them. Until he does. Kind of.

Career-wise, Jasper’s younger brother, Jude, is in free fall. After an interview gone wrong, Jude now has the thankless job of managing his brother’s social media accounts to help reboot his own image. Olive’s messages are unexpected, and her wit and vulnerability catch his interest. How can “Jasper” not respond? And how long can Jude keep up the ruse?

As the DMs get flirtier and more personal, the bigger question is what’ll happen when Olive finds out she’s fallen for a fraud. It might not be what either of them expects.

Goodreads | Amazon | Audio | 

Oh my goodness! 

So I have been in a huge reading slump for about a month now. No matter how many books I picked up I ended up putting them down after a few pages not able to get into or enjoy any of them. But this one finally broke through. 

The DM Diaries. 

Olive is a rising plus-size model who loves her job, but is trying to stand out in her world. So she finds peace in an unexpected place. The world's hottest movie stars DM's. She had been sharing her hopes, dreams & life with Jasper, because he doesn't read them, he doesn't even work his own social media pages - so what's the worst that could happen? 

Jude is trying to make a comeback in the world of acting. He never hit it as big as his brother Jasper and then took a break to go to college. But after an interview gone-wrong his publicist tells Jude to take over Jasper's social media in hopes to gain publicity of connecting to two together. But Jude stumbles upon DM's. He shouldn't read them. They aren't for him. But they are something real in the world of fake. And then he responds as Jasper.

As the DM's get flirty and more personal, will Jude be able to keep up the ruse? And what will happen when Olive finds out she is starting to fall for a fraud? 

So- I loved Olive. She was real. She followed her big dreams to the city. She was brave but also vulnerable. She was sassy and didn't take crap from anyone. She stood for what she believed in- even if misses out on high profile jobs because of it. 

Jude likes acting, but doesn't like all that comes with it. The interviews and being on the go go go. He wants something real in the world of fake. 

The DM diaries brings the humor & wit Teagan is known for - along with plenty of DM and texting banter. It's cute, and funny and has some steam. I loved every second of it, and couldn't put it down. So if you're looking for a celebrity romance that brings the charm and laughs, this is the book for you. 

4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. 

2🌶️ out of 5 🌶️. - a couple scenes with some details. 

Tropes: 

→ rom-com 

→ celebrity romance 

→ strangers to lovers 

→ Banter between characters 

→ contemporary romance

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.

Goodreads | Purchase | 

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. 

Tropes: 

→ sports romance 

→ hockey romance 

→ rom-com 

→ banter between characters 

→ black cat x golden retriever 

→ grumpy x sunshine 

→ playboy 

→ contemporary romance

Review: Body Check

 

Title: Body Check

Series: Seattle Serpents 

Author: Teagan Hunter

Release Date: September 7

Blurb:

I have two goals this season:

Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents.

Stay single.

I’m right on track…until she happens.

Auden Sinclair.

We’re stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that’s all the promise we make—one night, then we go our separate ways.

Except she pops up again.

Then again.

Suddenly, she’s everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life and ruining all my plans with her quippy comebacks, her smarts, and a body that fits against mine just perfectly.

The problem? Auden is off limits. Forbidden. Strictly in the DO NOT TOUCH zone. She goes against all the rules, but never have I wanted to bend them as badly as I do when it comes to her.

This might be one battle I’m not going to win…

What you can expect...

- Grumpy hockey hero

- Billionaire heroine

- One-night stand

- Super fun text threads

- STEAM

- Light angst

Review: 

So I have been in a book slump for months now. Between seasonal depression (yeah I get it in the summer), my daughter being home over summer break, & now her getting ready to back to school I just haven't really read much these past few weeks unfortunately. 

But one of the books I made sure to pick up was Body Check. I definitely felt the loss after the Carolina Comets series ended, which surprised even me, because I am not normally a sports romance kind of girl, but I fell in love with the world and sport and didn't want it to end. So when there was talk of a new series, I was nervous but excited. Could I possibly love another (fictional) team like I did the Carolina Comets? 

If you have read any of Teagan's books in the past, you will surely love this new series. She brings her signature banter, wit & texting to the storyline. Plus the characters are cute, charming and relatable. I couldn't put the book down, and fell in love with the new characters, new setting, and new team. It was such a fun story, that had me smiling throughout not to mention deliciously steamy that was the cherry on top. Body Check was a great intro to the new series, perfect for all fan's new and old, those who have been around Teagan's work before, or are new to her books. If you love hockey, grumpy/sunshine trope or one night stand trope, & cheesy in the best possible way romcoms, you will love Body Check. 

4⭐ out of 5⭐. 

3🌶️ out of 5🌶️. - multiple detailed scenes throughout.

Review: Neutral Zone

 

Title: Neutral Zone

Series: Carolina Comets

Author: Teagan Hunter

Release Date: May 18 

To my fans, I’m known as Ivan Fitzgerald.

To my teammates, I’m just Fitz.

And to the girl I’ve been talking to online, I’m ShootsAndScores.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the woman on the other side of the screen is completely out of my league. Why wouldn’t she be? Sure, I’m a professional hockey player, but that doesn’t mean anything when I’m shy and awkward in the most basic social situations and she’s a fiery vixen who oozes sex appeal.

No matter how badly I want her, I can’t have her. Because the woman I love watching so much? The one I might be slowly falling for?

She’s not just some stranger on the internet. It’s Rosie, the woman who serves me coffee and donuts every morning.

And she has no clue it’s me.

So, I have been sick all weekend (still am, but hopefully on the mend now) & I definitely needed a pick me up Monday morning. I was sooo glad to see this arc drop on my kindle! 

Ivan Fitzgerald may be a famous, hot-shot hockey player but he is still shy and awkward in any social situations. And the girl he likes is out of his league. She is a vixen that oozes sex appeal. She knows him as ShootsandScores online. He knows her as Rosie, the girl who serves him coffee and donuts every morning. She has no clue it's him on the other end of that computer. 

So, for those who don't know... I'm not a sports fan. At all. I don't watch it, or really read it. Never played any, nor I really understand it. Sports and me get along as well as well, two things that don't get along. Sports just isn't my thing. So, to say i was a bit skeptical heading into the very first Carolina Comets book (Puck Shy) is an understatement. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Teagan's writing, but I just didn't see me loving the books like the rest. Teagan not only made me fall in love with book one, but every book that followed since. I fell in love with the whole Comets world, and was always excited to see that next book hit my kindle & what was in store for me. 

That hadn't changed with Neutral Zone. I loved every second of it. The banter, the awkwardness of the characters. It was cute & sweet but also spicy in a way I wasn't expecting. I even loved the sport- now you won't catch me watching hockey or anything crazy but I actually enjoyed reading about it in these books. 

I definitely recommend this book to anyone - who loves romcoms, or sports romances, or if you're like me & don't read sports romances but want to try something new. They are fun, quick reads. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. 

3🌶️ out of 5🌶️. - Multiple detailed scenes throughout

Tropes: 

→ contemporary romance 

→ rom-com 

→ sports romance 

→ hockey romance 

→ cam girl & curvy heroine

→ online romance 

→ voyeurism 

→ light angst 

→ shy hero

Review: Glove Save

 

Title: Glove Save

Series: Carolina Comets series

Author: Teagan Hunter

Release Date: February 23

I’ve been told I’m the grumpiest goalie in the league, and that may be the case, but who cares when I’m also killing it this season? The Carolina Comets are currently on a record-breaking run, and I intend to keep it that way.

This means the last thing I need is distractions, but my mother didn’t get that memo. She’s getting married, and after the fiasco I caused at her last wedding, I’m required to bring a date.

That would be easy, except for one little thing: I don’t date.

So why is the only person I want to take a single mom who can’t stand me?

We’re a horrible match, and it makes no sense that I’d be into her. But the more time we spend together, the more it’s starting to look like this might be one game I can’t win.

GLOVE SAVE is a standalone hockey romcom. There's a grumpy goalie who likes to argue with a ten-year-old, a single mom, lots of fun banter, and STEAM galore!

Ah you guys. 

So January has been a crazy & stressful month in between birthdays & everything going on, I didn't get much reading in. 

But when Glove Save hit my kindle- I dropped the book I was in the middle of to pick it up. 

I love the Carolina Comets world & this was no different. 

The Comets are on a record breaking run, so Greer doesn't need distractions. Not with the woman who can't stand him, or her ten year old. But when his mom wants him to bring a date to her wedding, Greer can't think of anyone else. 

So what happens when the grumpy goalie meets his match in a single-mon and her ten year old daughter? 

This book is funny, has the great banter between characters & is steamy & I loved every second of it. It was the perfect read to cosy up with, Teagan is one of my favorite romcom authors & I definitely recommend it to those who love hockey romances & romcoms. 

5⭐ out of 5⭐. Can't wait to see what else is in store for the Carolina Comets series!

Review: Scoring Chance

 

Title: Scoring Chance

Series: Carolina Comets

Author: Teagan Hunter

Release Date: October 20, 2022

Scoring on the ice? Piece of cake.
Scoring off it? Well, there’s a reason I’m still a virgin.

I’m not entirely clueless with women, though I do tend to put my foot in my mouth around them far too often.

Like I did with Scout, the donut maker I stupidly introduced myself to despite visiting her truck for years.

Maybe my teammates have a reason to call me the dumb one, but I’m determined to prove them all wrong—Scout included.

I want to be her friend. Want her to see the real me.

What I’m not expecting is to like her so much when we start spending time together…or want to kiss her so badly.

I’m the jock, and she’s the bookworm.
On paper, we make no sense together.

But maybe I have a scoring chance with her after all.

SCORING CHANCE is a standalone hockey romantic comedy. There's a virgin hero, a secret crush, wit, steam, and a whole lot of fun!

If you are looking for you're next romcom that is spicy & sweet, then this is it!

Grady Miller is a notorious flirt, but is clueless when it comes to women- his biggest secret being he is still a virgin. He has been frequenting Scout's donut truck for years, yet when he sees her outside of her truck at a party, he introduces himself as if they never met. There is a reason his teammates call him the dumb one- but Miller wants to prove them wrong. 

Grady is a jock - his whole life has been all about Hockey. But there is more to him then just his skates. He may be a bit akward, but it's endearing. He does have a tendency to be over-the-top and exasperating but he is also sweet and just good. 

Scout is the owner of the donut truck that Grady & his team love to frequent. She's nice, and sweet, had been crushing on Grady since he first started visiting her truck, and a bookworm. But she has also closed her self off three years prior and doesn't do much besides work and when she gets the chance read. She hasn't really gotten out and lived. 

But Grady, he makes her feel alive. So she decides even though he messed up, to give him a chance. They start as friends and move into something more- but can she open herself up to being vulnerable again or is the closest thing she has to love be the books she reads? 

I loved Grady & Scout's book. It was fun, cute & sweet with a little bit of spice. I loved the back & forth between the characters, & seeing their relationship develop & grow. Grady may not always think before he speaks, & may get on everyone's nerves-& often- but it's endearing & you can't help but love him for it. I also loved seeing the past characters again, making an appearance, & the little hints for the next book. It was a light fun read & perfect to snuggle up with. I couldn't put it down & definitely recommend it! 

5⭐ out of 5⭐.

I should stay away.

Emilia Anderson is the team’s social media manager, and there are strict rules about not fraternizing with the staff. It doesn’t matter that we already accidentally broke them—we can’t let it happen again.

Besides, my time in the NHL is winding down, and this is my last shot at winning the Cup. I need to focus on the game, not some girl I have no business chasing.

She’s ten years younger than me.

She’s the assistant coach’s niece.

And she works for the team.

She’s off-limits…and too hard to resist.

I know better than to play this game...

But it looks like I’m heading to the sin bin.

Emilia left her home town, to get away. What she didn't expect was running into a sexy stranger to spend the night with. What she didn't expect was one amazing weekend. What she didn't expect was walking into her new job- only to realize who the sexy stranger was. 

It was only supposed to be one night, and never seeing each other again. But being the Comets social media manager, and the coach's neice, that one night can never happen again. Even if they can't stop thinking about it. 

Smith is one of the oldest on the team. He lives, and breathes hockey, and is married to the game. Meeting Emilia, they had a connection. Until they found out they worked together. When they are thrown together with a project, the tension may end up being too much for either to handle. She's off limits. 

This book. It's filled with sexual tension and angst between the characters. The knowing it's wrong, off-limits. They work together. The age gap between them. But will they be able to stay away? Or will the tension snap and the temptation bubble over? 

I loved this book. These characters. It was light, and funny, but also steamy. I loved the build up and the dynamic between them. The angst & longing which made everything so much sweeter. This book was just *chef's kiss* 5 ⭐ out of 5⭐ & I cannot wait to see what comes next for the Carolina Comets 3🌶️ out of 5🌶️
