RYLAN

Seattle Sasquatch Hockey - Book One

Release Date: December 26, 2024

Review

An emotional journey for Rylan and Jamie. 


Rylan has lost a lot in his life and so he keeps himself buttoned up and in control. Until Jamie that is, who comes along to teach him how to live and find joy.


It also touches on the toxicity that can abound in sports, but provides how hope for it too.


This story also introduces us to a team of characters who will no doubt bring great stories to come.

Synopsis

Rylan

I've spent my entire hockey career hiding who I really am. Between trying to lead my struggling team, dealing with an alcoholic father, and the weight of my brother's legacy on my shoulders, I barely know who I am anymore. Then Jamie Pirelli joins the team—young, talented, and openly queer. He sees right through my walls. And then one hot night changes everything.

Jamie

After a disastrous start to my NHL career in Florida, Seattle is my last shot to prove I'm more than just the first openly bisexual player in the League. I cannot afford any more scandals, but the chemistry between me and my deep-in-the-closet team captain is impossible to ignore.

A steamy hockey romance between the team captain with loads of baggage and the sunshiny superstar struggling to be taken seriously. An opposites-attract, hurt-comfort, secret relationship featuring a wounded control freak with a tragic backstory and a free spirit with a tarnished reputation.

Seattle Sasquatch Hockey Book One.

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.

He absolutely does not want Tristan Nicholson. His complete and total opposite. His teammate. His compe...
