Review / Release Blitz: The Score Keeper (Boston Hawks Hockey #9) by Gina Azzi

Release Date: March 3

Boston Hawks owner Scott Reland is my father’s biggest rival and the last man who should catch my eye. But when he does, I don’t look away.

We’ve circled each other for years, two outliers in a small club of NHL owners. We know the rules, manage similar pressures, and understand that this lifestyle — hockey over everything — isn’t for everyone.

Which is why I want out.

To prove to my father that I have a future beyond the New York Sharks, I score one for me and open a bakery in Boston, the city that reveres Scott. It isn’t long until the dynamic and perceptive Hawk pursues me. And I’m entirely unprepared to be swept off my feet, cared for and supported after so many years on my own. Scott easily draws me back into the hockey life I thought I didn’t want.

But can our relationship survive the demands of this industry? Or will I always be keeping score, second to the game that dictates everything?

MY REVIEW

Though she grew up in her father's hockey world, Noelle wants to distance herself from it now. She doesn't want to take over for him as he wants, no, she wants something completely different for herself - to open her own cupcake bakery. Does she dare step out of her father's shadow, and into her own life? She just may have an ally in one of her father's rivals - team owner of the Boston Hawks, Scott Reland. And she just may have a chance at love and happiness with someone who completely supports her and her dreams, even if they're separate from his hockey world.


Scott is wealthy, gorgeous, and wants...happiness and love. He's just never found either with the women he's met that inhabit his hockey world. Noelle is someone he's known for years, and has always found interesting and attractive, but he's never done anything about his feelings. Now in his 40s, he's really finding himself wanting to settle down and Noelle is the woman he wants by his side, forever. If she can find the courage to stand up to her father, and fight for their love, they could really have something beautiful.

Though I've only previously read the last two stories in the Boston Hawks Hockey series, I've quickly fallen in love with all the players and the people they've found love with. Now that the time has come for the series to end, I'm so glad Gina saved the best for last. Scott is truly the best guy in the series, and Noelle is so definitely his equal. I suppose it's because they're both more mature (he's in his 40s and she's in her 30s), so they behave like mature adults rather than immature 20 somethings, and I absolutely loved that about both of them. This is a sweet ending to an excellent series, I'm going to miss all these hockey couples.

Review: Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette (American Revolutionary Tales 2) by Regina Kammer

Review of Winter Interlude: An American Revolutionary Novelette by Regina Kammer Captain Samuel Taylor and Lieutenant Patrick Hamilton recall their first steamy encounter, which was a MFM threesome in a brothel. It morphed into more and now the two are contemplating their futures with the women they love, and their futures with each other. If you think times are hard for the LGBT community now, think of how hard they were during the American Revolution. Winter Interlude is well developed, which is surprising given its short length. I am so interested in knowing what is to become of Samuel and Patrick's forbidden relationship. Do they stay together? Or do they go their separate ways, and live out their lives with their women? Now that they've admitted their love for each other, how impossible would it be for them to be without each other? I have to know, now! If you like MM fiction and/or historical fiction, I highly recommend you give Winter Interlude a read. It...
