Common Goal by Rachel Reid

Common Goal by Rachel Reid

Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series of hockey romances continues with Common Goal, the fourth book in the set and easily one of the best.  It’s a gorgeous May/December romance between a silver-fox goalie close to retirement, and a bartender sixteen years his junior; it’s tender, funny, emotional and hot as hell – and don’t be…

The Dare by Elle Kennedy

The Dare by Elle Kennedy

Elle Kennedy is one of my favorite authors for new adult college sports romances and The Dare is part of her Briar U spinoff of her Off Campus series.

Kelly Jamieson’s Win Big, with its abysmal dialogue, hot sex, and a hero with the strangest observational tendencies…
