Hockey season is in full swing and while I don’t watch a lot of games, as a Canadian it’s required viewing at least at some point during the year (or at any rate, someone in your family will have a game on TV while you’re sitting and reading on the couch). As sports romances go,…
I don’t read too many sports romances but I appreciate any story where a character must come back from either personal or professional defeat. In Someone Like You, footballer Pierce Harrison has to abandon the game he loves due to a tabloid scandal in the UK that tarnishes his image with his fans and the club…
Hard to Hold is the story of professional soccer player Logan Hart, a surprise baby named Cinnamon, and an even bigger surprise of a nanny named Isabella Bennett. The start of a new series for Katie Rose, Hard to Play, which is tangentially connected to her previous Bad Boys of Baseball one, this book is…
Anything but Minor is the first story in Kate Stewart’s Balls in Play series, a cheeky nod to the fact that it’s centered on minor league baseball players who are also *ahem* ‘players’ in another sense of the word. This is my first book by this author, and in her acknowledgments she says that it’s…
As much as I enjoy a gut-wrenching and emotional novel, I also sometimes like to read an uncomplicated and predictable story that is well written and entertaining. This is exactly what Julie Brannagh delivers with her sports romance Intercepting Daisy, where the professional quarterback falls for the team’s flight attendant with a couple of bumps…
As anyone who regularly reads my reviews knows, I have a not-so-secret love affair with sports romances – especially ones about hockey players.

Isaac Drake, team captain and goalie for the Spartanburg Spitfires, has just learned Laurent St. Savoy has been traded to the Spitfires as the back-up goalie for the coming season. Isaac is an openly…
To his chagrin, Irish rugby player Sean Cassidy finds himself attracted to Lucy Fitzpatrick (sister of one of his teammates). He doesn’t know her well, but following a brief conversation at a team party and an awkward dinner date, he can’t stop thinking about her and decides to pursue her. Lucy is annoyed, yet secretly…
I can’t believe I read this 150-pages-long book in one day. I never do that. So Roller Girl is definitely a page turner! Tina and Joe are both two very likeable and relatable characters. They meet because Tina’s washing machine floods her kitchen and Joe is the plumber who comes to the rescue. I’m not…
This book is nominated for a 2016 RITA award. I enjoyed reading the story of Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley – which is continued in the second of the series, US. However, there were a couple of issues for me to overcome; firstly, the major themes of Ice Hockey and the American college system. Being English,…
