๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ (Love and Hockey Book 3)ย 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:
๐2 POV
๐ Friends to Lovers
๐ Marriage Pact
๐ Brothers Best Friend
๐ He Fell First
๐ Forced Proximity
๐ Slow Burn
๐ “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 canโt stop thinking about each other?ย 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 โextra spicyโ and/or graphic. Some scenes might include a dash of โtie-me-up-tie-me-downโ play such as light bondage or sex toys as characters explore their curiosities and desires.

๐ Scorchin Chemistry
โ๏ธ Billionaire Boss
๐ Single Dad
โ๏ธ One Bed
๐ Sexy Bater
โ๏ธ Penguin the cat
๐ 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 โextra spicyโ and/or graphic. Some scenes might include a dash of โtie-me-up-tie-me-downโ 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.
