𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 (Love and Hockey Book 3) by NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely can be read as a standalone. When a series has interconnected characters why would you want to read just one? From the dedication to the very last page I devoured this book. Inside you’ll find:
🏒2 POV
💘 Friends to Lovers
🏒 Marriage Pact
💘 Brothers Best Friend
🏒 He Fell First
💘 Forced Proximity
🏒 Slow Burn
💘 “My wife”
CW/TW:-anxiety rep, characters navigating through loss of someone they loved
A charity fundraiser with a trip to Vegas turns into an adventure you never expected. What will happen when Maeve and Asher realize that they can’t stop thinking about each other? It’s time to cast aside the fear and doubt of disappointing others or risk a lifetime alone.
If Maeve can put her own needs first, she will discover that her feelings for Asher are greater than anything she ever imagined. Will she push the chance at love aside because of a promise she made to her mother?
If you are looking for a friends to lovers trope with characters that are fun and ready to explore all the things they have been thinking you might want to give this a read.

There are multiple intimacy scenes, some may be “extra spicy” and/or graphic. Some scenes might include a dash of “tie-me-up-tie-me-down” play such as light bondage or sex toys as characters explore their curiosities and desires.

My Favorite Holidate by Laren Blakely is a standalone holiday romance with interconnected characters that reunites the gang we all love.
🎄 Scorchin Chemistry
❄️ Billionaire Boss
🎄 Single Dad
❄️ One Bed
🎄 Sexy Bater
❄️ Penguin the cat
🎄 Puns a plenty And sooo much more!
Fable and Wilder are about to discover what happens when a revenge fake dating plan becomes so much more.
When the lines become blurred and feelings become more real will Wilder and Fable walk away? It takes a lot of trust to open up and be vulnearable.
With all the decorating, planning and gifting it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday trappings. Sometimes the best gifts are simple and all you need is a a red ribbon and bow.
A scorchin’ holiday romance filled with secret confessions, meddling family, texting, naughty appologies, revenge, mistletoe, and a whole lot of holiday spice. There are multiple intimacy scenes, some may be “extra spicy” and/or graphic. Some scenes might include a dash of “tie-me-up-tie-me-down” play such as light bondage or sex toys as characters explore their curiosities and desires.
Grab a cozy blanket, fill your cuppa with sometime warm and tasty, curl up by the fire and discover your next book boyfriend.

The Boyfriend Goal by New York Time Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely is one you don’t want to miss for your hockey romance reads collection or list this season.
A peek inside:
🏒 Scorchin Chemistry
📚 Strangers to Lovers
🏒 Teammates Little Sister
📚 Dyslexia Rep
🏒 Sexy Banter
📚 Golden Retriever Hero
🏒 Librarian
And sooo much more!
If you are looking for a hockey romance that has lots of page turning fun, banter, hilarious laugh-out-loud scenes, and layers of sinfully sweet scorchin’ heat you’ll want to read this book.
When Josie relocates to a new city will it be a new adventure or one that sends her back home?
What happens when Wesley falls for his roommates little sister? What happens when he has a secret that could impact his team?
Both Josie and Wesley will need to navigate around their family expectations and drama. Who has more to overcome with meddling? Who will find the courage to stand up and finally live the life they want?
Caution this Scorchin Hot Read may lead to unexpected need to turn on the A/C. So steamy the pages ignite. May include a dash of Erotic elements or allude to further exploration of desire and need.
As with all Lauren Blakely books this has secondary characters that are so delicious they are worthy of their own book.
Thank you Lauren Blakely for the advance reader copy for an honest and fair reiview. All opinions are my own.
