She hates me…


I’m going to make her fall in love with me anyway.


As captain of the SoCal Vipers, the last couple of seasons haven’t been going well. My stats are slipping, and I’m at risk of being traded.

So, I’m not in the mood for a case of mistaken identity with the woman playing bouncer at the arena door.

But when I find out she’s come to town to escape her controlling family and make a fresh start, I know I can’t just let her walk away.

I’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe.

And if that means claiming her forever…then all the better.

Because she’s mine.

Even if she doesn’t know it yet.

When the Game Breakers meet more than hearts will be broken…
They’ll claim, protect, and...maybe just rock their women's worlds.


Series tropes include:
• enemies to lovers
• mistaken identity
• starting over
• rags to riches
• protective MMCs
• found family

MY REVIEW


Banks isn't used to people, especially women, not recognizing him, but this spitfire is most certainly not impressed by him, nor does she recognize he's the captain of the hockey team whose venue she apparently works at. Then he sees her again at his club and he doesn't even recognize her this time. What he does know is he's drawn to her, so much that he's risking his friends' laughing at him while losing their bet that she'll even give him the time of the day. Nope. No matter, he's persistent, and determined, and in the throes of insta something. He knows he's got his work cut out for him because her walls are stronger than Fort Knox.


Aspen finally left her horrible family behind, and has been working her ass off here to make ends meet, when a p i t a hockey player skates into her life and won't leave. She resists him as long as she can but even her strong defenses can only last so long in the face of his charming persistence. For the first time in her life she's able to trust and rely on someone other than herself. If she was able to let go of her baggage, Banks certainly should be able to also, when the unexpected happens. If he can't, then all his determination to become a part of her life will have been for nothing.


Aspen and Banks are the cutest couple. He has to be one of the swooniest hockey players I've read in a long time - so sweet, so determined to take care of Aspen even though she resists for the longest time. And Aspen, my God she'd had a rough go of it but it had made her so strong and independent. I wanted to cry when it looked as if they weren't going to make it, but thankfully they took their baggage and threw it out the window. Aspen, Banks and their found family have me seriously excited for all their stories now. Rockstar Royal's story is next and it can't be here soon enough.

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...
