Beverly Brown is just trying to survive her junior year. All she wants is to keep her near-perfect average, have fun with her three best girlfriends, and, of course, start and finish the album that will push her band further into the spotlight. She can't afford any distractions, especially if they come in the form of senior Crew O'Connor.

Crew O'Connor has known one thing his entire life: hockey. So when it comes time to decide his future Crew knows there's only one option, and that's to go pro. But realizing his lifelong dream will be harder than Crew thinks, especially coupled with insecurities and fear. His only semblance of peace from the fear of the future comes in the form of his best friends, his teammates, and of course the girl he's been chasing since he was fourteen. 

When a mishap on the first day of school pushes Beverly and Crew closer than ever before, their lives will intertwine more than they thought possible. Now seeing each other at every twist and turn, Beverly has to keep reminding herself the hockey captain won't reciprocate her secret infatuation, and Crew has to remember Bev is his best friend's little sister.  But what will happen when memories and reminders aren't enough to supress their growing feelings?All Rights Reserved

Lucky Shot by luckcharm512

Grace Ivers isn't the type to seek out frat parties, but when her outgoing roommate drags her to one, she finds herself thrust into the chaos of loud music, red solo cups, and a sea of confident athletes. Navigating the scene as a college freshman is overwhelming enough-until she catches the eye of John Logan. Logan is everything Grace has been warned about-charming, confident, and completely out of her league. But when an unexpected flip cup challenge turns into an undeniable connection, Grace starts to wonder if there's more to him than his reputation suggests. As the night unfolds, friendships are forged, bets are made, and sparks fly between Grace and Logan in a way neither of them expected. She's just a freshman trying to find her place, and he's a hockey star who shouldn't be paying her this much attention. But some moments change everything, and this might just be one of them. A flirty, fast-paced college romance about taking chances, unexpected chemistry, and the beginning of something neither of them saw coming. ***I do not own the rights to the characters or the previous story line. *** Weekly updates on Thursdays.

The Hot Hockey Player by loulousjourney

🌸 So far, so good. Despite everything, Madeline's still standing, still living - though her life has been upended more than once. Moving from America to England wasn't exactly easy but oddly enough, the return was much simpler. With little more than the bare minimum from her parents, and diabetes always complicating things, she had to rely on her brother for real help. Now, as she steps back into Nashville, she wonders how this might realign her path. Somehow, everything feels like it's falling into place. She's exactly where she needs to be - though there's one complication : a boy. Something she didn't planned at all. And maybe he's part of the plan, too. Maybe for the better. 🏒 Hockey has always been one of Jude's greatest loves, ever since he can remember. And to be blunt, he's damn good at it. But don't mistake him for the typical player type you read about in books. He doesn't have girls lining up outside his door, and when there is someone, he treats her right - once, and only once. It's a rule he set for himself. He met his best friend Colin during a hockey game, both rooting for opposite teams. Colin was on the wrong side, of course, but somehow, they became inseparable. Colin has diabetes, so over time, he learned how to help. What he didn't expect was for that knowledge to help him with a girl. A girl more complicated than any genetic disease. But maybe that's a challenge worth taking. ° ° ° Welcome to this new book. Please don't forget to vote, comment and share ❤️

Breakaway by averykwrites

After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?

Accepting the Celly by author_brittneyclark

Alison doesn't like hockey. It isn't so much the sport itself that she doesn't like, but rather the people who play it. Growing up the daughter of a local hockey legend with a superstar brother who follows in their father's footsteps, hockey players are all she has ever been around. After a bad break-up with her brother's ex-teammate, she swore off all hockey players for life. She is sick of hockey, sick of the players, and sick of Maukingnen Falls, but she can't seem to get away from any of it. Using her dad's connections in her career doesn't exactly help the situation, but she's determined to make a name for herself outside of the hockey world. If that means name dropping her famous family to get a few meetings so she can finally move out of her hometown and leave her reputation behind her, then she'll buckle up and deal with it. That is until she takes too much of an advantage dropping her last name and somehow ends up in the showers of her hometown's hockey team. Who catches her there? None other than the team's captain. Dylan Cavanaugh doesn't like his private life on display, but being the biggest player in hockey at his young age makes it hard to keep his private life private. Things blow up when his breakup with his Hollywood actress ex-girlfriend quite literally take over the town and he can't seem to escape the attention of every reporter and single woman he sees. When he finds out the real reason the woman he caught in the showers hates hockey, he makes a proposition that could benefit both of them. Now he's in a fake relationship to avoid having to continuously deny a real one because the girl he chose would never date another hockey player. The plan is flawless: fake a relationship to break away from her family name and save him from unwanted attention. This plan could get her out of Maukingnen Falls. It could get her family to respect her again. And it could get her toxic ex-boyfriend to finally leave her alone. What could possibly go wrong?

Built on the Ice by Idktbhim

She doesn't know what she wants to become in the future, and the only place she finds solace is on the ice with her friend Blair. How long will she be able to hold up the last bit of peace left in her life before her own family rips it away from her? Life becomes more difficult when her brother recruits his best friend to watch over her as well. But why doesn't Brynn hate this? She's supposed to hate this, right? Anyways, it's unfair that her brother gets to have all the fun! She needs to find a way to get back at him, and fast! Levi Sullivan is a Junior at Lincoln Crest University. He's excited for another year of playing hockey with his team. Hockey is his favorite thing because it allows him to forget about everything going on with his parents-his father in particular. This is supposed to be another normal year at LCU, just like the other years. But, this year is different. His best friend's sister is starting her first year at Lincoln, and he's meeting her for the first time. His best friend, Caleb, said she's 'immature' and can't take care of herself, therefore, he and Levi are going to have to watch over her. Watch over her? That's ridiculous! Who, at the age of nineteen, needs two babysitters to watch over them in University? Levi's mindset changes when he sees the beautiful 'baby' he's been given the instruction of watching over. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. But what would happen if Caleb realized that his best friend has feelings for his little sister? What happens when another dark, lingering issue of Brynn's pass makes tensions rise between the group of young adults?
