I don’t want anything to do with my crazy family’s drama, which I’ve been watching unfold from a distance over the last year, but now my grandfather has Alzheimer’s and I feel I need to at least make a quick visit to see him. My hockey season’s over, all I have to do is get through my teammate Steve’s wedding, and then I’m on a plane to Los Angeles to do my family duty. After that, I’ll head home to Manitoba for some summer R&R at the family lake cottage.

Molly Flynn
Nobody’s expecting what happens at my wedding, which becomes pandemonium. I need to get out of there. Fast. Who do I turn to? Jackson Wynn, one my fiancé’s teammates. He’s been a friend to me since I met Steve. For one night, we hide out in his condo, but he’s leaving in the morning for California. I want to go with him.

Jackson
I can’t take Steve’s fiancée with me to California. He’s going to flip shit over this. But the lying cheating bastard kind of deserves it, and I’ve always had a soft spot for Molly. Or maybe not so soft…because she’s not only sweet and kind, she’s hot as hell. This is a bad idea for so many reasons, and I sure as hell don’t need more drama in my life, but I can’t say no to her.

On this nutso trip, neither of us expect Molly to bond with my bonkers family…especially my poor, confused grandpa. And neither of us expect to bond with each other…

 

A good deed never goes unrewarded! With the next book in her ever-popular Wynn Hockey series Kelly Jamieson delights with family black sheep Jackson’s story. The plot is quick to draw the reader in, and the connection between the two is spot on. The drama was a bit light in comparison to the earlier books in the series, but it was a fun read none-the-less. Really enjoying this family!

Jackson Wynn is an easy-going, stand-up type of guy. He loves his family, but he hates the drama that seems to be the constant when he’s around them. With his grandfather getting progressively less healthy, he feels obligated to go home for a visit now that his hockey season is over, but then he’s high-tailing it to a relaxing summer.

Molly Flynn is a strong-willed, stand up for herself character and I really liked her. She is all set to start her life with the man of her dreams when it all crumbles down around her. She needs to get out of there, and her trivia buddy Jax is just the one to help her. She needs to get away from life right now … and tagging along on his family reunion in California seems like a good way to do it.

I recommend this book and the series as a whole to anyone who enjoys a good hockey romance that’s filled with emotion, drama and passion. This family is close-knit and delightful!

First love gets a second chance...

Norwegian-born professional hockey player Zaan Hagen has only ever loved two things: Hockey and Lexi. He never imagined he’d have to choose, until he was forced to let her go.

After beating breast cancer at sixteen, Lexi Rousseau vowed to live her life with no regrets. When her singing career took off with one of the hottest pop groups in the world, her dream came true— but it cost her the only man she ever loved.

When an unexpected turn of events brings them back together, Zaan and Lexi will have to learn to balance their demanding careers and irrefutable desires before history starts repeating itself. Have they finally figured out how to play the game without losing everything?

 

A highly emotional reunion of first loves! With the first book in her Sidewinders: Generations spin-off series Kat Mizera brings her readers an emotional delve into the life of stardom. The characters are attention grabbing, the emotion is rich and the passion is oh so yummy. I feel like there were some holes here, in particular if the reader didn’t read the start of their story in an earlier anthology, but overall it was powerful and richly satisfying.

Zaan Hagen is perfection. He’s down to earth, he’s loyal and he’s just self-assured enough to make everything look easy. He’s loved Lexi since the day he set eyes on her, but life on the road isn’t easy. This second chance at making it work seems like a gift … will they end up throwing it all away?

Lexi Rousseau is feisty, strong and easy to like even though parts of her are selfish. Her gumption to go for what she wants in life is what makes her stand out in the crowd, but her weakness has always been Zaan. She would be on top of the world happy if they could just get their schedules to meld this time.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a hockey romance with lots of emotion and a rocky road to happily ever after. I’m looking forward to more in the series.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat’s been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…

She says she doesn’t date players.

She swears up and down that she’ll never handle my stick.

We’ll see about that, sweetheart.

When I win the pleasure of Harper’s company at a charity auction, I get exactly one date—one shot to win over the gorgeous and feisty brunette.

Game on. I play hard, and I love a challenge.

But just when I think I’ve finally carved out my shot . . . a huge secret implodes around us, threatening everything we’ve built.

 

Determination wins the game … and the lady! With the fun conclusion of her ever steamy Hot Jocks series Kendall Ryan takes us on the delectable ride of Jordie in TAKING HIS SHOT. The characters are easy to connect with, their chemistry is spot on and there’s an underlying depth to each of them that make them special.

Jordan Prescott is delightful. He’s just conceited enough to make him adorable, he’s down-to-earth and he’s got an emotional depth that not many see. His determination to date the coaches daughter makes for a humorous read.

Harper Allen is a successful, self-assured woman who doesn’t do hockey … and she most definitely doesn’t do hockey players. She’s so adamant that watching her fall for Jordie’s persistence is all the more fun.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a good hockey romance filled with a close-knit team of good guys and gals. They’ve been a great ride of laughs, passion and so much heart. Loved the series!
