An Irresistible Force
When Amanda Richardson was a teenager, she had a huge crush on hockey superstar, Chris Luczak. Now over a decade later, she walks into a boardroom and there he is—looking as hunky and confident as ever. But working with Chris is the least of her problems, since her family’s hockey team is in crisis mode.
Chris Luczak hated retiring from his one true love: hockey. He’s been going through the motions at head office, but now he’s been offered a real challenge. All he has to do is persuade the ownership of the Vancouver Vice that—given their current problems—their best option is to sell the team.
At first, all they do is argue. Amanda has a million reasons not to trust Chris, beginning with his reputation as a womanizing playboy. But she needs all the hockey knowledge inside that sculpted muscular body—not that she’s noticed, of course. And Chris realizes that the longer he puts off this deal, the more time he’ll get to spend with this fiery woman.

The Tao of Hockey
 |
After being picked in the first-round of the NHL draft, Eric
Fairburn was in a car accident that destroyed his career. Now, five years
later, he’s getting one last chance. If he can make the Vancouver Vice of the
AHL, it could be the first step to making his hockey dreams come true. There
are only two things standing in his way—the coach from hell and his own
self-destructive ways.
The one talent he hasn’t lost is his way with women. So he’s
surprised to be shot down by a mysterious woman he meets in a bar. Eric finds
himself pursuing her when he should be focusing on hockey. Yet he’s drawn to
her confidence and independence, believing that might be the key to fixing his
own on-ice issues.
The Tao of Hockey is the first book in a new series about the
Vancouver Vice. Find it here.

Sweet & Spicy Reads (reviewed by Susan)
"Wow I loved this book, the characters are lovable and are a perfect fit for each other. Eric is not your typical jock, he's quite sensitive and falls hard. Josie is kickass!"

From: Save Your Money For Books!
"Lately, I feel like a lot of books I read start feeling the same. This was not the case with Hockey Is My Boyfriend. If you are looking for a fresh fun read I recommend investing your time in Kelly Tanaka's story! I gave this series 5 stars and can't wait for more from author, Melanie Ting!"
bbsbookreviews:
"The third book really threw me off guard about half of the way through. I won't give away why, but trust me, you will get thrown too. It ended exactly the way I wanted it to. And trust me, you will be satisfied too."
From Amazon.com:
"I was a big fan of Book's 1 and 2 because of Kelly's portrayal as a strong independent woman. The theme that sometimes a woman has to figure out things in her own life first before she's ready for a deep and fulfilling relationship really resonated with me." Sondra C
From Goodreads:
"It's a hockey romance worth reading (did I mention that this author actually knows her stuff? I feel like other hockey romances lack the slang and real play-by-plays and just go straight to 'girl meets hot hockey player. Check out his stick *wink, wink*' As a fan, I definitely want more than that. In the Hockey is my Boyfriend series, you'll giggle, your face will heat up, and you get to read about HAWKEY."

Hockey Is My Boyfriend, Part Two
Can a summer fling turn into real love?
From leaping a raging river to driving collegiate opponents into the boards, there is no physical challenge Kelly Tanaka won't take. But when it comes to love, she's running scared. Luckily for her, a job at a summer hockey camp is the last place she would expect to meet Mr. Right. Sure enough, from an overconfident ladies man to a tongue-tied nerd, all the guys here are Mr. Wrong. And there's no way she could be interested in a tall, muscular centreman who looks young and acts even younger.
James Frechette has just been selected near the top of the NHL draft. He's completely confident about his hockey abilities, but when it comes to women, he's wiping out. The summer is his chance to hone his social skills. The problem is that there's only one girl at his hockey camp, and he really likes her—but so does every other instructor there. Can he overcome his awkwardness and convince Kelly to take a chance on him?

Kate Willougby, author of the best-selling In The Zone hockey series:
I loved seeing what Kelly was up to in college. I adore her. She's one of my favourite characters. She's so funny. I love her confidence and self-awareness."
From Diane's Book Blog:
I continue to love this story. So many interesting things happened through the novel, and all of it seemed realistic. I cannot wait for the next book. If you enjoy contemporary sports romances, I highly recommend this series but start with book one, this series is best read in order and not skipping a book.
From Amazon:
"The sex scenes are a change of pace from the ones I've seen lately. There's no flowery prose or remarkable technique presented, but I was intrigued by their straightforward emotional rawness." Trix

How The Cookie Crumbles
She’s champagne and
cupcakes. He’s beer and burgers.

a perfectly organized life—including a checklist for her ideal man. Just when
she thinks her dream boyfriend is going to propose, he dumps her instead.
Heartbroken, she impulsively flees across the country. She lands in a small

prowess.

away her plans for the future and appreciate what’s in front of her now? And
can Jake even pronounce the word relationship?

Review from Kate Willoughby, best-selling author of the Barracuda's hockey series: "This book was hilarious. I loved the characters. They felt real and their problems felt real."
From Amazon.com
"I hardly ever write reviews for books that I purchase on my Kindle but I felt compelled to encourage every woman to download the sample (it's TEN CHAPTERS!), fall in love with Frankie and Jake, and then read this entire book. Rarely is a steamy romance well-written with well-developed characters who you not only love despite their flaws but you can also relate to them." Iloveteamsthatbreakmyheart
