{BOOK 3 OF THE 'FALLING SERIES} {THIS BOOK IS SELF-PUBLISHED}

Lydia Ellis has been burned enough times her in life that she no longer believes in love. Why give your heart to someone who will only crush it. For years she's only focused on building her magazine, Fushion Weekly, to be the best magazine in the city. But what she doesn't see coming is the grumpy, rude, ice rink owner Landon Boone. 

Landon Boone was only 11 years old when he took on the role of helping raise his brothers after his father left. For years he's put his life on the back burner in order to make sure his family was taken care of. He's content with his life as he runs his own business and the last thing he needed was a smart mouthed blonde to come barreling into his life. 

But things take a twist when lingering glances turn into something more than either expected.All Rights Reserved

Penalty Kill [NY Hockey #1] by katrinarust

[actively editing] With her nose in books and his brawn getting him nowhere on or off the ice, they find themselves drawn together, sharing their baggage and learning what it might mean for each of them to love again. Jake Bryers is no stranger to the pressures of being a professional hockey player. It's something that he's dealt with consistently for the past fifteen years. Throughout his career, he's experienced it all-the electric thrill of winning divisions and conference titles, and even making it to the Stanley Cup Finals on more than one occasion. His dream was always to skate the cup at least once, but as he enters the late stage of his long, tumultuous career, he finds himself struggling to perform like he once had as a younger, inspired player. Harper Clark has been proficient at one thing throughout her life-constantly moving forward without really going anywhere. After having moved to the Big Apple to pursue a better life outside of the dangerous one she found herself leading in the Midwest, she finds herself stagnating after getting her degree from Columbia. She quietly enjoys her job at the public library, treading water while the undeniable feeling of discontent grows stronger within her. It's nothing short of fate when Jake and Harper happen to cross paths at the library, and though their lives couldn't be any more different, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another as they try to navigate mending each other's wounded hearts.

After her sister gets engaged, Lou starts to realise she wants what Abby has: a happy relationship.

CLAIMING HUGHES - Quinn Hughes by AlexTurnerIsHot_

Book 2 of the Quinn Hughes Series __________________________________ "You chose him. You always choose him." Those words shattered what was left of Eleanor Klein's world. Four years later, the pieces still haven't fit back together - and neither have the Kleins and the Hughes. But life has a funny way of forcing reunions, especially when Quinn Hughes and Matthew Klein both find themselves drafted to the same NHL team: the Vancouver Canucks. Meanwhile, Jack Hughes is busy living the dream (and distracting himself with a new girlfriend), and Luke Hughes... well, he's mostly just along for the ride, armed with snacks and sarcasm. When Eleanor crosses paths with Quinn again, the years disappear - and so does all their carefully built distance. Old feelings crash into new realities, and suddenly, "where the wind takes them" feels a lot more complicated than it sounds. There's chemistry, there's chaos, and there's definitely still heartbreak lingering under the surface. As Eleanor and Quinn figure out if the timing is finally right, Jack and Eleanor awkwardly rebuild the sibling-like bond they once had - because ignoring the past isn't an option anymore. Especially when your brother, and your not-so-secret crush all play for the same team. Love, hockey, and history collide in this funny, messy, and addictive second installment where sometimes the only way forward... is to finally claim what's been yours all along.

Except for the fact she's a virgin ... or at least she was until she had sex with her university rivals hockey captain. After a quick (devastatingly quick) night with the man and being called a lousy lay, Ivy made a promise to herself that she wouldn't do it again ... sex that is. Who needs sex when all it brought was insecurities and more, and it wasn't even that good to begin with.

Cruel King | 18+ by BrookeBennett_

[18+] COLLEGE ICE HOCKEY ROMANCE *~*~* Conrad Taylor is an asshole - everyone knows that. But when you're the star player of the hockey team, your father is one of the richest men in the country, and you have the looks of a tortured fallen angel, not many people seem to care. He certainly doesn't, not when he's too busy riding around with a visible chip on his shoulder. And boy, are they nice shoulders. *~*~* Sophie Pritchett craves normalcy after a lifetime of self-imposed isolation. With her dad's support and her therapist's gentle encouragement, she finally feels ready to step out into the world - or at least into a shared off-campus apartment with a few strangers. Tentatively, of course. Totally doable, right? Only it's not that easy. The girls aren't for the faint-hearted, and that's exactly what Sophie is. Her struggles with personal boundaries and social settings make it more than obvious that she's weird - and that's not including her strange obsession. When the hockey team starts volunteering at the hospital where Sophie teaches art therapy, she suddenly has the perfect excuse to feed that obsession - one that just happens to have Conrad Taylor written all over it. But when an unlikely friendship begins to form between Sophie, Conrad, and Casey - a witty little boy who's been dealt an unfair hand in life - Sophie learns there's a lot more hidden beneath the rude, sarcastic, and cold exterior of Conrad. Maybe he's just a broken little boy with a heart that feels too much. *~*~* Grumpy/Sunshine - Bad boy/Good girl - hates everyone except her Romance with a Brooke Bennett spin on it😜 Book 2 in the Campus Kings Series, but can be read as a STAND-ALONE. Mature 18+ (Language, content, all that good stuff) Enough character development to turn the devil back into an angel. New chapters every Wednesday and Sunday. *Big Fat Smooch* Good to see you again, my lovelies.
