Description

A standalone age-gap, dad's best friend's hockey romance.

There’s no one more off limits than my best friend’s daughter.

Peggy Aurora Hammerstein. The Toronto Terror’s unofficial team princess. I would never do anything to mess with our team dynamics this late into the hockey season, but seeing her work in the front office changed something for me.

I see her as she is now: a powerful woman with ambition for miles.

When I hold her against me, she fits perfectly.

Her little flirts and taunts push my buttons, if she doesn’t stop–my control just might break.

But I can never cross that line. I can never know what it could be to call her mine.

I��ve never wanted anyone more than Aurora and no one can ever know.

*This is Hollis Hendrix's standalone novel. If you want to meet Hollis before you read this book, check out If You Hate Me, Rix and Tristan's story.

EXCERPT

Malone hops onto the nightstand, and something clatters to the floor. He yowls and bounces like he has springs in his feet, tail poofed out as he races out of the room.

“What’s got you so freaked out?” I frown as I bend to pick up the object. “The hell?”

It takes several seconds for me to process what I’m holding. And when it finally clicks, my brain almost liquifies. I’m holding a superhero vibrator. More specifically, I’m holding Peggy’s superhero vibrator. It can’t belong to anyone else because aside from her dad, she’s the only person with access to my penthouse. And she’s the only woman who’s been here in a long, long time, apart from my younger sister and my niece.

So many questions arise. So fucking many questions.

Like why the hell is her vibrator in my goddamn bedroom? On my nightstand.

My mouth goes dry as I stare at my bed with the two cat-shaped dents near the pillows. Then I glance across the room at one of the two kitty cams I set up but didn’t monitor while I was away. I forgot to even mention they were there.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Did she get herself off in my bed? Why would she get herself off in my bed?

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved, loved this well written, witty, flirty, steamy, passionate, emotional, age gap, father’s best friend romance. I was hooked from the very beginning with these fantastic characters whose story pulled me in and didn’t let me go until long after I read the last page. This is a fabulous addition to The Toronto Terror Series. So if you love a great sports romance this is the book for you!!

This is Hollis Hendrix and Aurora (Peggy/Hammer) Hammerstein’s story and what a story it is.

“You look like every sin I want to commit, Princess. So, yeah, I acted without thinking.”

I loved this so much because I could feel their frustrations, their longing, their fear, their desire. And their echoing agony as they struggle to do the right thing! As they fight their attraction.

I fell hard and fast for Hollis! And Hammer who wouldn’t want this smart, beautiful, caring, strong woman in their corner for life?

But my favorite part is the tension, the desire, and the passion these two find together! Yowza!!!

I giggled, I swooned, I squirmed, and I fell in love with this beautifully written story. You don’t want to miss this one!

I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Avery Spark is living her best life. Between her friends, her sisters, and Spark House, the event hotel her family owns, she doesn’t have much time for anything else, especially relationships. She’d rather hang out with her best friend and roommate, Declan McCormick, than deal with the dating scene. But everything changes when she is in a car accident and needs someone to care for her as she heals. Declan avoids relationships, giving him a playboy reputation that he lives up to when he puts a one-night stand ahead of a promise he made to Avery. While he may not have been the one driving the car, he feels responsible for Avery’s injuries and is determined to make it up to her by stepping into the role of caretaker. Little did they know that the more time they spend in compromising positions, the attraction they’ve been refusing to acknowledge becomes impossible to ignore. When they finally give in to the spark between them, neither is prepared for the consequences. Their love is fragile and all it will take is a blow from the past to shatter it all. #whensparksfly #sparkhouse #helenahunting #friendstolovers #booksale #stmartinspress #smpromance @helenahunting @smpromance https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQLVDerqxM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📚 Book Title: THE GOOD LUCK CHARM By Helena Hunting Is it love, or is she just his good luck charm? New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting absolutely delights with this witty and fun standalone contemporary romance. Lilah isn't sure what hurt worse: the day Ethan left her to focus on his hockey career, or the day he came back eight years later. He might think they can pick up just where they left off, but she's no longer that same girl and never wants to be again. Ethan Kane wants his glory days back. And that includes having Lilah by his side. With her, he was magic. They were magic. All he has to do is make her see that. Just when Lilah might finally be ready to let him in, though, she finds out their reunion has nothing to do with her and everything to do with his game. But Ethan's already lost her once, and even if it costs him his career, he'll do anything to keep from losing her again. #ebooksph #ebiblio4u #ebooksofinstagram #ebookstore #ebookstagram #ebook #ebooksale #epub #TheGoodLuckCharm #HelenaHunting https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjkceTpjad/?igshid=t2wy3bgnpe0u

If You Need Me (Toronto Terror #3)

by Helena Hunting

🏒🍑 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 🍑🏒

It’s release day for If You Need Me, a brand new enemies to lovers, fake engagement hockey romance from Helena Hunting.

A standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement hockey romance.

I’ve been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Reddi-Grinst since the third grade.

I should be the one taking her to our small-town high school reunion. The prom king finally gets his chance with the valedictorian.

Except she hates me.

To the world, I’m a pro hockey player with a million dollar smile.

To Hemi, I’m the menace who (accidentally) sank her bike to the bottom of the lake.

I never thought I’d be able to right my wrongs until she took the team’s PR job.

I’d hoped I was making progress, winning her over—one geriatric polka party at a time.

Until I got drunk one night and made a mistake. A very big mistake.

Now the world thinks we’re both very much in love–—except Hemi is absolutely in loathe.

To save our jobs and reputations, we have to convince all our friends, family, and bosses that our fake relationship is the real deal.

I’ll do anything to protect her, especially if it means I get to be the best boyfriend Hemi never expected.

My Review

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If You Need Me by Helena Hunting.

My new favorite book!! I seriously wish I could explain just how much fun this book is to read. I laughed a lot! I cried (happy tears). I found myself kicking my feet while I was giddy and swooning over how completely obsessed and deeply in love Dallas

is for Hemi.

I LOVED IT SO MUCH!

This is Dallas and Hemi’s story and I was OBSESSED by this couple and this story!

Wilhelmina, Reddi-Grinst, known by the team as Hemi, is the PR director for the Toronto Terror, the professional hockey team that Dallas Bright plays for.

Hemi is also the woman of Dallas’s dreams and has been for years. Unfortunately, she hates him and she has good reason. They’ve known each other since kindergarten, and he was part of some of her most terrible memories growing up.

So to get back at him, she enjoys signing him up for the worst of the worst: volunteer assignments, and he puts up with it all, just so he gets to be with her. But she has no idea how he feels.

But after a drunken mishap leads the world to believe they’re in a serious relationship, they must enter into a fake relationship to protect their jobs and reputations. What starts as a PR nightmare could turn into something real if Dallas can prove he’s more than her past memories.

“I’m starting to believe in those kisses, in the soft ways he shows up for me.”

Dallas is the perfect swoon-worthy hero, with his charm and vulnerability, who goes all in to win Hemi’s heart. Hemi’s strengths, confidence, and no-nonsense attitude make her an unforgettable heroine.

This enemies-to-lovers with a fake relationship twist romance captured my heart and soul, with a hot, fun-loving hockey hunk and a nerdy, outspoken heroine that works in PR.

Dallas and Hemi’s slow-burn romance is full of sassy banter, laugh-out-loud moments, angst, heartwarming scenes, anxiety complications, sizzling chemistry, and the spice…between these two is off-the-charts HOT!

Helena Hunting brings the perfect balance of humor and emotion in this entertaining, beautiful, heartwarming romance, making this my new number one read of 2024!!!

Gah. I. Am. Wowed. Five stars!

I received an early copy and this is my honest review.
