New HOT HOCKEY ROMANCE from JIllian Quinn!

Kane By Jillian Quinn

Release Date: April 10, 2017
Series: Face- Off Series, Book 2

Blurb

As the captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Tyler Kane has an ego the size of his hockey stick. He’s hot as puck, outscores all the centers in the league, and can get any girl he wants. Except the girl he wants is off-limits, a constant reminder of the bad decisions he made in the past. Until he meets Kennedy Lockwood, a feisty sports reporter that challenges Tyler and forces him out of his comfort zone.

He should leave her alone and spare her the drama that comes with his life outside the rink. But she insists there’s more to his story, wants to crack the ice around his heart and expose his secrets in the process. When Tyler agrees to an exclusive interview with Kennedy, he had every intention for it to end with smoking hot sex.

But he didn’t realize the sexy blonde who writes about hockey players and their big sticks would be the one to hit him the hardest.

Kane is a full-length standalone hockey romance novel with a HEA and can be read without reading the first book, Parker, but it is recommended to read them in order.

[Review] Parker by Jillian Quinn

Title: Parker
Author: Jillian Quinn
Series:Face-Off, Book 1
Release Date: February 14, 2017
Format: eArc

I'm Alex Parker, the best defenseman in the NHL, heartbreaker, and troublemaker. My team had the best penalty kill record in the league, thanks to me. I was on a winning team and so close to the Stanley Cup before I hooked up with the wrong puck bunny—the team owner’s granddaughter. Oops! So, they shipped me off to Philadelphia to play for the Flyers, one of the worst teams in the league.
My agent thinks I need to clean up my act. I drink too much. I sleep around too much. He assigns Charlotte Coachman, aka Coach, to whip me into shape. Coach is a sexy as hell sports agent that challenges me, and every time we're around each other it's as if we're having our own face-off. I want her but she has strict rules about dating clients. And I like breaking them.

Review

**4.5 Stars**

This was my first book by Jillian Quinn and I loved it. It's no secret that I love hockey romance stories, so when I saw this was available to read and the start of a new series, I jumped at the chance of reading it. I'm so glad I did too!

Alex Parker is a troublemaker and has a reputation of a being the NHL bad boy. He's extremely talented on the ice, but off the ice he is somewhat a disaster. After making a poor hookup decision, he finds himself in hot water with the team’s owner and the book stars off when him being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. What he doesn't expect is how bad they are and his agents desire for him to clean up his act. When Mickey, his agent, assigns Coach to him he wasn't prepared to be whipped into shape and to fall in love all at the same time.

Charlotte "Coach" Coachman hasn't had an easy life, but the trials she has gone through have made her one of the best sports agents at DMG ever. So when Mickey assigns her to whip Alex Parker into shape, she is more than happy to. What she wasn't prepared for was to fall in love with him. As much as she fights her feelings for him, the harder she falls and she learns that there is more to this handsome hockey player.

I loved their story. It was a quick fun read and you can't help but love Alex and Coach, together and as individuals. I can't wait to see more from the author and this series.

Review

**4 stars**

Where do I start, this book had me laughing within the first 2% and it was amazing. That rarely happens. This is book 4 in the Pilots Hockey series by Sophia Henry. I haven't read the other ones, yet, but this can be read as a standalone. That being said, it's also my read book by Sophia Henry and I can't wait to go back and read the others.

Kristen is determined not to have a happily ever ending, because her life might be over sooner than she is ready for. For a college graduation present her parents sign up for a singles Bahamas cruise to find a Greek husband. What she finds on the cruise is more than she bargained for and an adventure of a lifetime, only problem? He isn't Greek.

Palvo, aka Pasha, isn't Greek. But, he is a Russian hockey player playing for a US team. When his friend and teammate needs a wingman for a Greek singles cruise he decides to tag along. He wasn't looking for a girlfriend, he can get a woman anytime he wants, or the adventure of a lifetime with Kristen. There is only minor hiccup, when she discovers who he really is, she may hate him for it.

Pasha and Kristen's story was absolutely cute. There is definite chemistry between them from their first meeting and watching them go through the journey and struggles of life made their story perfect for them. I can't wait for more in the series and to go back and read the first 3 books.

Review

**4.5 Stars**

The Garrison boys and Luc are back and they didn't disappoint once again. I was so excited to read this book. The chemistry with Luc and Rose could be felt in book 1, so knowing this book was Luc's had me hoping Rose would be his love interest and boy am I happy with how this book started and ended.

Rose, the youngest of the Caplan sisters, is a romantic at heart. I love Rose's character, she's different than her sisters Jessie and Callie, yet she is like them in other ways. Knowing she has always been in love with Luc, yet he sees her as just a friend, she gets some advice from Callie and man does the story begin!

Luc, oh sweet Candian Luc. After a disastrous old relationship, his hockey career is on the line unless he can shape up. Going home he figured he was safe, his best friend, Rose, is there and he knows he is safe with her. What he doesn't expect was to fall for her. Luc screwed up many times but he also did many things right, which makes me my favorite at the moment. He isn't perfect but, he never stopped fighting for what he wanted once he knew what that was.

I loved Luc and Rose's story. Friends to lovers, their story was written perfectly for them. I can't wait for book 3, The Final Move.

Review

**5 Stars**

If you're a hockey romance fan, this book is for you. I was so excited to read this book because of how much I love Sarina's writing. Like all of her other books, Rookie Move did not disappointment. It sucked me in, it gave me my happily ever after, involved hockey and had a second chance love... What more could I ask for?

Georgia, Gigi, is the PR person for the Brooklyn Bruiser, a new and upcoming team in the NHL. I think she is my favorite leading female in a hockey romance. She's a killer and does all she can to be the best that she can. When the love of her life comes back when she least expected it, she has many different feelings and thoughts approach, but she took it all in stride and more happiness was achieved. Opening her heart up again, to the one person who has always had it wasn't in her plan, but sometimes life happens.

Leo, after a sudden trade from the AHL league to NHL, he knew this was his chance to make it big. What he wasn't expecting, was his high school girlfriend and her dad to be involved with the team he was traded to. After a shakey first press conference, he wasn't sure how the season would go, but knowing he wanted to be successful he gave it his all, on and off the ice. Winning Gigi back, wasn't part of his plan, but he wanted it to be a major part of his future.

I loved Leo and Gigi's story. Going into the book, I knew I was going to love it because Sarina wrote it, but I wasn't prepared for how much I was going to love it. She successfully achieved overcoming demons to let love win. She let the reader get fully involved with the characters and pulled them in. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
