Broken Laces by Elise Faber is available now!
https://geni.us/BrokenLaces
Available on All Platforms

I’m in love with the owner’s daughter.
I played my entire career with the San Francisco Gold.
But now I’ve been traded to our rivals, and I’m playing for Jean-Michel Dubois, owner of the Oakland Eagles, my new boss, and father to the woman I’m in love with.
And he’s made it clear that anyone who so much as looks at Chrissy will find themselves out of the league.
The problem is that I end up moving in right next door to her.
And the more time I spend with Chrissy, the harder it is to keep my distance.
I just…can’t have her.
Because if I do, I’ll lose everything.

Broken Laces is a forced proximity, forbidden love, secret relationship, wrong side of the tracks romance featuring a team of misfits and bad boys who are going to puck you in the best possible way.

*This title is book 1 in my new Eagles Hockey series and will stand alone (with no cliffhangers!)


MY REVIEW

Rome's not sure what he did to the universe to make it hate him so much - why it got him traded from his found family the Gold hockey team, to the Eagles, but he'll just have to soldier on. Then he meets his new neighbor and suddenly life's looking up, a lot. Until he realizes she's off-limits as the owner Jean-Michel's daughter. Yep. But the heart wants what the heart wants and Rome's determined to get his animal rescuing Chrissy to let him in. Even if they have to keep their relationship a secret, for awhile anyway...


Ever since that night all those years ago, when something horrific happened to her, Chrissy has lived under her father's protective thumb. She practically lives with him, allows him to watch over her 24/7, works part time with his team, and basically does nothing to upset him because she knows he could not take it if something happened to her again. But when she meets her new neighbor, who happens to be the new captain of her father's new hockey team, she's finding she wants something just for herself, regardless of what her father is bound to think. But until she can shore up her backbone, she needs to keep Rome a secret, even if it may hurt them. Has she left it too late, or can she grow enough nerve to stand up for herself and let her father know she's going to be with Rome, regardless of what he thinks?

Rome, oh Rome...what a sweet, patient swoony guy! He's Chrissy's rock, patiently waiting for her, comforting her, standing by her even when it could mean he'll lose hockey. Chrissy, wow, I felt for her, knowing how badly that night damaged her, but more significantly, her father, to the point they had this co-dependent relationship that wasn't healthy for either of them. I cheered her on when she stood up to him, and shed a few tears when it looked like it was going to be for nothing. I know this is the start to a new series, and if it's any indication, the Eagles crew is going to be just as amazing as the Gold!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
