The perfect amount of tension and slow burn, all the heat, the adorable scenes and banter, and the group dynamics, all come together to make the perfect read.
College romance, emotional scenes, hockey, hot broody hero with tattoos, and a snarky wild girl that’s here for a fun time? Yup. You need this.
Best book I’ve read this entire year. You MUST read it now.
I'm running on four hours of sleep today, but on the plus side, I finished this book before heading out the door to work. Addictive is right...this book has consumed me.
The romance, the spice, the angst...it's everything that I look for in a story. I could not get enough of this couple and this world. I realize that I'm a little late to the game...why did this book sit on my TBR for so long? Not only did I just discover a new favorite book boyfriend, I just discovered a new favorite author too, and I cannot wait to dig into the next book in this series.
There is a maturity to Keelan’s writing and characters, and a certain tender vulnerability the heart which beats beneath the heartache and toxicity instilled behind their actions.
Nobody writes Hockey Romance’s like Avery Keelan, and this series is pitching to dominate on and off the ice as it scores hearts worldwide.

Because I didn’t hold the rights to certain books at the time I began indie publishing, the books were published slightly out of order chronologically.
Rules of the Game Series—Offside (Chase and Bailey), Shutout (Tyler and Sera), and Overtime (Reid and Chloe)—comes first.
Lakeside University Series is a next-generation spinoff that features Luna Ward, Dallas and Siobhan’s daughter in The Sniper, LSU #2. Reese Carter, Chase and Bailey’s daughter, is in The Power Forward, LSU #3.
Finally, the Top Shelf Series starts with Playmaker, which is Gabriel Carter’s story. Gabe is Reese’s twin brother, and Chase and Bailey’s only son.
With that said, all of my books are complete standalones and you can dive in at any point! There are no significant spoilers by reading them out of order, except that all of the couples do end up with their happily ever afters.
I do from time to time, but I am focused on drafting and not currently offering them. Sign up for my newsletter to find out when they will re-open!
I will 100% be publishing both of these titles in the future. Zach Abbott in Most Hated Player is quite possibly my most favorite hero of all time. And Dean Hollis definitely deserves to be out in the world. Stay tuned for more news on both of them.
Valentine PR presently handles my ARC management and all ARCs go through them. I am actively looking to build early reading teams and street teams, so make sure you’ve signed up for my newsletter and more details about how to apply will be forthcoming.
