"Crosscheck (Northbrook Hockey Elite Book 4)" by Rebecca Connolly

Perfect romantic Sports read! Hockey backstory made this intense and fun!



Romance, clean; Series, but stand-alone read
This was a gorgeous read! I love R. C.'s characters in these series! She gets the interplay between the characters, adds a wonderful amount of intensity in her 'coverage'/description of the games, and just overall gets the interaction, pacing, and romance needed to move these novels forward.  This is one of my favorites in this series so far. Having a little girl, the parent side of it, the romance, and the games, so perfect as she narrates these and pulls all these threads together.  Well-crafted and a 'win' for me! Go Sabercats! I can't wait to read the next in this series! Zane and Mara are honest heartfelt characters, and the other members of the Sabercats on the former Northbrook Hockey team, are fun, their friendship, passion for their former teammates, add a nice touch to this story.
I received a copy from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review, my opinions are my own.

"Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story" by Courtney Walsh

 Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story Courtney Walsh GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, contemporary; Christian faith elements Louisa/Lou and Cody's story, entangled in their past, and their families past, was masterfully told. Themes of faith, and forgiveness weigh heavily in this novel. It is a Romance too though, as they have shared a young love in the past that was so much a part of their lives growing up, and the tragedy that separated them as young adults leaving home after graduating from high school. A mistake of Louisa's, and near tragedy brings them together, and as they are put together through various events and circumstances, their hearts open to each other again. C.W. knows how to write troubles without them becoming so overly dramatic to be unbelievable in this novel. This is the perfect addition to this series. The sweet tender hearts, the angst and worry with all the family issues and personal issues, and of course, their working th...

"His Lady In Hiding" Jen Geigle Johnson

His Lady in Hiding by Jen Geigle Johnson GoodReads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, period; Liz (Lady Elizabeth) and Anthony's (Lord Barton) romance was sweet, unexpected, and well-done. The journey across the ocean, treacherous and awful, the time in America, and the surprise for Lord Barton.  Liz's adjustments to her new life and station, trying to leave her old life behind and do her best with her new job as a housekeeper, as well as her passion for the social issues she finds in America.  The pulls toward home (England) with all the complications for both of them, tied together well. Some of the side characters felt a little forced, but overall a fun, interesting, suspenseful at times, and of course, sweetly romantic read for me.  More of a 3.5 for me as a reader, but rounded up with the lush cover.  I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.
