My Kind of Guy
Hockey Guys #4
Sarina Bowen
March 24th 2026
He’s a backup goalie with a broken game. The only thing he needs more than a win is the hot, grumpy bartender who pours his weekly beer.
Becker James is having a spectacularly bad season. Once a top draft pick, he’s now riding the bench in the minors, one failed save away from being cut. The highlight of his week? A lonely hour on a barstool at Sportsballs, Denver’s queerest watering hole—and Forest, the bartender with flannel sleeves, a gruff voice, and a beard that stars in Beck’s dreams.
Opportunity strikes when Forest’s LGBTQ hockey team—the Stickhandlers—loses their goalie last-minute. Beck makes Forest an offer: he’ll help them beat the most hated team in the beer league, but he wants something in return—one night together.
Cue the record scratch, because Seth Forrester doesn’t do hookups. After his last one went horribly wrong, he swore off men for good. He’s definitely not falling for the awkward hottie who just stammered through an indecent proposal.
But Beck is prepared to press his case, no matter how awkward it gets. And one beer league game turns into something messier, sweeter, and so much harder to walk away from…

Every time I pick up a Sarina Bowen novel I’m reminded why most of her books are 5 star reads for me. I know I love her writing and her books but then I’m five pages in going “oh that’s right I love, love her.” And I can’t put the book down. And it seriously doesn't matter if it's a MF or MM couple, I am equally as obsessed.
As for this one, Beck and Forest were just both so amazing and beautiful and just everything. I couldn’t get enough of Beck. He was so young and insecure while also being sweet and mature and brave. He was so quirky and hilarious and from the beginning I loved him and wanted all his dreams to come true.
Forest was just as easy to love but he was so guarded, for good reason. But those reasons didn't make me want to scream at him any less for not diving on Beck and just letting himself be loved by him. Luckily he had an amazing group of friends to help him dislodge his head and see what he was holding himself back from.
The book was perfect and I loved seeing all the original cougars couples and singles. And meeting a few new ice cats, who hopefully appear in future books. Please tell me that there are future books. And OMG I’m going to be seeing this amazingly talented author next week in Perth where I can word vomit all over her like Beck.
Snap Decision by Lisa Suzanne is now live!
I broke up with one brother.
Now I’m engaged to another.
After a decade with Archer Bradley, it’s over for good. Now I’m trying to piece my life back together.
My first brilliant idea? Crash with my closest friend. The one who always has my back. My ex’s older brother, Ford.
Living with Ford was supposed to be temporary. Instead, it’s late-night talks and lingering looks.
The way he watches me when he thinks I’m not looking makes my stomach flip. The way he supports my dreams makes me ache for things I shouldn’t want.
One snap decision spirals into a viral fake engagement, and suddenly I’m planning a wedding to my ex’s brother.
I came here to get over one brother, but I’m starting to think I’m falling for the other.
If we go through with this, we could tear the Bradley family apart.
But walking away might cost me the one man I can’t imagine losing.
SNAP DECISION is a spicy Pro Football, Brother’s Ex, Friends to Lovers Romance from Amazon Top Ten Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne.

Blurb:
Brooks Callahan is a star on the diamond. But when it comes to parenting an infant, he’s in over his head. Good thing I know a thing or two about being a nanny.
When my marriage blew up, my life was on the verge of spiraling. As a single mom of toddler twins with zero job prospects, I wasn’t sure how I was going to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table without living with my dysfunctional parents. But when my sister’s boyfriend gives my number to one of his teammates, talking up my nannying skills, I’m suddenly thrown a life raft. All I need to do is keep things professional.
So what if my new employer looks great with his shirt off. And has blue eyes that literally reflect an ocean of possibilities. And stares at me with enough heat to melt a glacier.
Brooks Callahan might be the best Sweetwater Mavericks player I’ve ever seen step up to the plate. But for him, baseball isn’t just a passion—it’s his path to survival. Our late-night talks give me a glimpse into every struggle he’s overcome to get here, and just as he thought his dream was crashing to an end, I show up and buy him an extra inning.
When lines start to blur and quiet moments turn into temptations too hot to ignore, the careful balance of our situation starts to feel shaky. My heart was broken not long ago. And Brooks has kept his on ice for years.
Could this sweet baby girl with eyes bluer than her daddy’s be an angel of second chances? And is this love we’re feeling real, or just the figment of our sleep-deprived imaginations?

MAPLE & MOONLIGHT
Daphne Elliot
Maplewood #2
Release Date: April 27
Blurb:
As a single mom rebuilding my life from scratch, I don’t need help. And I definitely don’t need the attention of a six-foot-three maple farmer with a beard and a hero complex who looks at me like I’m a problem he didn’t sign up for.
My landlord is broad-shouldered, permanently unimpressed, and entirely too comfortable telling me when I’m wrong. I think he’s grumpy, rigid, and overprotective. He thinks I’m chaos in Crocs.
Falling for Josh Lawrence was never part of the plan.
But then he starts showing up.
For my son when he’s overwhelmed.
For my daughters when they need someone steady.
And for me when my hands won’t stop shaking.
I didn’t come to Vermont looking for a protector. I don’t need rescuing. But somewhere between harvest festivals, pumpkin canoe races, and quiet mornings in the sugar shack, the man I swore was just an annoyance becomes my safe place.
And when my dangerous past resurfaces and threatens the new life I’ve built, the grumpy maple farmer next door becomes my fiercest protector, ready to stand by my side while I fight for my family.
Because it turns out maple farmers are a lot like their trees: quiet, stubborn, and surprisingly sweet when the pressure builds.

Show Me Forever by Jennifer Sucevic is now live!

I thought I had Oliver Van Doren all figured out.
The Railers’ star forward with the charm of a devil, the discipline of a toddler, and a talent for creating messes I always get stuck cleaning up. We’re barely friends and definitely better off pretending the sexual tension humming between us isn’t combustible.
It’s the only explanation for how one moment of weakness turns into a night I can’t forget.
And the worst part? I can’t stop.
It’s too damn good.
Two pink lines change everything.
Suddenly I’m living with the one man who knows exactly how to get under my skin. Only Oliver isn’t who I thought he was. He’s patient. Attentive. Protective. And somehow, day by day, he makes it impossible to pretend he’s not everything I’ve been too terrified to want.
Now I can’t help wondering if what started as a mistake…
Might just be the beginning of forever.
Show Me Forever is a swoony, boy-obsessed, enemies-to-lovers pro hockey romance packed with off-limits workplace tension, a one-night stand, a surprise pregnancy, and a hero who was all in from page one. It’s book three in the Chicago Railers series and can be read as a standalone.
