About Ice Block
Maggie James is a smart, ambitious, and career driven woman. When she realizes she’s stuck in a dead-end job, she dreams of opening her own branding company. After a brutal day at work, a one-night stand with a handsome Russian hockey player feels like just the escape she needs.

Vladi Volkov is the broody starting goalie for the Milwaukee Steel Riders, haunted by a painful past and a strict no-relationships rule. After getting benched, a strong pour of bourbon and a gorgeous woman seem like a solid game plan. But when he realizes Maggie isn’t just another hookup, emotions he’s worked hard to block come rushing to the surface panicking him into sneaking away in the middle of the night.

Seven months later they are stuck together at their best friend’s destination wedding: same island, one room, one bed. Maggie and Vladi are about to find out that unresolved chemistry, tropical heat, and shared hotel space are a dangerous combination.


Ice Block is a spicy, laugh-out-loud off-season hockey rom-com about two stubborn people who have zero chance of keeping things casual.

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

Sleeping with the best man at my cousin’s wedding felt right at the time—he was a hot, available firefighter, and I was the tipsy maid of honor. It’s a rite of passage. No regrets… until two pink lines flipped my world upside down.

YOLO (Carter Brothers #7) by Lani Lynn Vale Release Date: November 1, 2024 About YOLO Garrett Carter knew the moment he saw her years prior that she was the one. His one, however, had a fiancé. And she was rich. She also lived out of state. So what other option did he have but to let her go? Years later, he sees her again at her worst. Her husband-to-be has stranded her on a hiking trail with a head wound, convinced she’s faking her blindness.
