Review

Elmwood is the best of the two worlds.  Hockey and small town.


And we finally get the story of Jake, Elmwoods beloved own turned NHL star. It’s his turn to find love too. With his least expected person. The one man who drives him up the wall. Mason Trinksy.  His rival.


They may have different personalities, but they both share the life of fame, and not being able to be seen fully for who they truly are.  To be loved for all themselves.


It’s a fun story, rivals always are, but it’s also tender and sweet. And of course, we get to see our other Elmwood favourites along the way.

Synopsis

Two rivals, one secret, and a shot at forever…


Jake


Favorite things and peeps: hockey, family, friends.

Least favorite person in the entire history of the universe: Mason Trinsky.


I have my reasons, but since you’re curious, Trinsky is a showboat and a loudmouth. Sure, he’s a great athlete. Good for him. I accept that we have mutual friends, and I grudgingly accept that he’ll be a coach at Elmwood Junior Camp this summer—however, I plan to keep my distance.


Of course, some wise guy pairs us up for a camping expedition, and everything that can go wrong does go wrong.


Guess who I’m stuck with?


Trinsky


Favorite things and peeps: hockey, surfing, and my kid brother

Least favorite person in the entire history of the universe: Jake Milligan


Look, I might be in the minority, but if you ask me, Jake is a nitpicking diva who wants everything his way. I hope my NHL team crushes his, and this summer, I want my campers to out-prank his. Childish? Nah, it’s all in good fun.


Until it starts to feel…complicated. I shouldn’t care if he’s happy, should I? I don’t want to be Jake’s friend. I don’t want to have feelings for him at all.


The only thing that matters is hockey. It's all about the puck. Not love.


Or is it?


Puck Love is an MM bisexual, small-town romance featuring hockey’s hottest rivals, a hiking trip gone wrong, and a shot at forever…

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...

REVIEW: Once Upon a Second Chance by Davidson King (Once Upon a Holiday Story Series)

  ONCE UPON A SECOND CHANCE Once Upon a Holiday Story Series by Davidson King Release Date: November 15, 2024 Review What a wonderful holiday romance. Small-town vibes, two really great guys, a little hurt comfort, an age gap, and a lot of tenderness. Aaron - a young man who’s known struggles more than he’s known safety and comfort and home.  Daniel - an older wealthy man with a heart of gold and deep ties with the small-town, but with the sting of lost love weighing on his heart. The tentative friendship, turned fling, turned so much more is sweet and patient. I love how important they become to each other so quickly and the healing they each help with. But equally beautiful was the town's role in their story. The common element to the series - The Hook’s Book Nook - is fun, though a small part - the two women who run it are wonderful, I would love a series about them and their travels.
