Breakaway (Connor bedard x Reader)
Completed They say hockey players leave it all on the ice-but no one warned me that falling for one would mean leaving pieces of myself behind too.

Now I'm caught between what's safe and what I want, between the life I planned and the one that's breaking through the cracks. Connor's chasing a dream. I'm just trying to figure out if there's room in it for me... or if I'll be left behind when he makes his breakaway.Complete

Cruel King | 18+
[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.
Sophia
"You need to stop it with the fighting, Wade! On and off the ice. You can get killed out there!" She yells. She was so worried. His plumped red lip and the scar on his cheek were nothing compared to what he can actually get into. She sees his eyes move to her and he's looking straight at her making her heart race. "I won't stop fighting until they learn to keep their eyes on the puck and not you, Sophia." -- Sophia was your typical girl. Let's be honest. She wears scrunchies, She has oversized clothes but also the perfect outfit to go out. She had bright green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She goes to the University of Tampa, where she was born and raised, and her major is Business. She has her own little circle and goes out every chance she gets but still keeps up with school. She's also a huge fan of hockey. Wade Anderson. Tampa Bay Lightning's heartthrob. One of the best players on the team to say the least. 3 million dollar net worth that just keeps growing. He could have his way with the ladies if he wanted to and he does. Wade loves what he does and he's good at it. Both and off the ice, of course. He's also Sophia's favorite player... Well, until he pranks her with his teammates. TW: cussing, sexual scenes, and mention of racism, sexual assault and other deep topics - A/N: U GUYS please remember this is supposed to be a SUPER EASY read, its my first book and i love it so so so much and im learning from it everyday so please cut me some slack!Complete
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 #𝟐: 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐧 𝐈𝐜𝐞
Sophie Jameson was once the girl who lit up every room. Big laugh. Bigger smile. Always the first to spill the gossip and the last to leave the party. Until Brad. He was charming at first. Sweet. The kind of guy who made her believe in fairytales-until he showed her a very different side. A cruel side. A violent side. The side that left Sophie bruised, guarded, and questioning everything she thought she knew about love. Now she doesn't trust easily. Doesn't let people close. The spark that once defined her is gone. Enter Dylan Matthews. Defenseman for the Titans. The team flirt. Loud, playful, golden-retriever energy wrapped up in hockey gear. He's the boy who never stops chirping, never stops smiling-and somehow, he notices the girl who's forgotten how to. Sophie doesn't think she's ready for someone like Dylan. Someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Someone who looks at her like she's still the girl she used to be. But the more time she spends with him-and with Grace, who refuses to let her slip away-the more Sophie begins to remember that she isn't broken. She's healing. She's laughing again. She's falling. And maybe, just maybe, Dylan Matthews is the one who can remind her what love is supposed to feel like. A story of heartbreak, healing, friendship, and the kind of love that mends even the deepest wounds-Mending On Ice will break your heart, then piece it back together.Complete
CLAIMING HUGHES - Quinn Hughes
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.

Not being able to deal with her daughter's dad, Kolby and her dad moved from LA to Hershey, Pennsylvania. From there, her life takes off. People may not think a girl can play in the NHL but in the end, she's Living Proof. --- Sorry guys, this is a pretty long description but it covers everything that you need too know basically.

Growing up with a single mother and a little brother who depended on her, she learned early that love wasn't always enough to keep a family together. Now, as a freshman cheerleader at Westbridge University, she's focused on her future-on making something of herself, no matter how many hours she has to put in. She doesn't have time for distractions, especially not the easygoing, maddeningly charming hockey player who seems determined to get under her skin. Nate Gregori has spent his whole life reading between the lines. With parents who gave him a stable home and a sister who looks up to him, he knows what real love is. And when he meets Emma, he sees beyond her carefully crafted walls-the strength she wears like armor, the vulnerability she refuses to show. She pushes him away at every turn, but he's never been one to give up easily. Thrown together by circumstance and drawn together by something neither of them can deny, Emma and Nate fight the pull between them. But falling in love means risking everything, and Emma's not sure she's ready to take that leap. Can Nate show her that some risks are worth taking? Or will fear keep her from the one thing she never thought she needed-him?Complete
