[Review] CHASE LOVETT WANTS ME by Helena Hunting

Cover Designer: Hang Le
Artwork by Mary Livas @Searland_art
Book Source: Received an egalley in exchange for an honest review.
Release Date: January 10, 2025

DESCRIPTION

A brand new standalone, opposites attract, college hockey romance.

Chase Lovett.
Star of my (unrequited) fantasies.
Hottest guy on campus.
Hockey god.

Too bad he has no idea who I am. Literally, I’m so invisible to him that he once sat on me in class.

No thanks to a fire in the dorms, he just became my accidental roommate.
Did I mention the hotel room our university moved us to has only one bed?
Not ideal.

Worse, I accidentally left “My Precious” Lord of the Rings underwear hanging to dry in our shower. 
My actual nightmare.

My name is Cammie Lovelock and this might just be the worst, best thing that’s ever happened to me.

REVIEW

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book since we first saw Hemi and Dallas interact when the series started and their story was definitely worth the wait!!!

I love how fierce Hemi is and she’s such a powerhouse, but Dallas was definitely the one I was the most excited for in this book because it was very clear that he’d been head over heals for a very long time and boy is he just as much of a cinnamon roll as I was hoping for! He was so generous and considerate, but he was also a dirty talker and boy did that make him even better. He’s my fave out of all of the heroes in the series so far and I loved his dynamics with Hemi.

Seeing the way the relationship evolved in IF YOU NEED ME was wonderful! I love a good fake dating story and this one had me hoooooked! There was a bit more drama that I expected at times, but I loved how it was resolved and that we got lots of sweet moments afterwards!

Overall, this is my fave in the Toronto Terror series and I loved Dallas and Hemi so much! Looking forward to what Helena comes up with for our hockey boys and bad@ss babes brigade next! Highly recommend this one if you love stories where it starts out looking like enemies to lovers, but really one of them has been pining for ages…especially if you also love dirty talking golden retriever mmcs. ;)

[Review] IF YOU NEED ME (Toronto Terror, #3) by Helena Hunting

Cover Designer: Hang Le
Artwork by Rosie's Fables
Book Source: Received an egalley in exchange for an honest review.
Release Date: November 6, 2024

DESCRIPTION

A standalone enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement hockey romance.

I’ve been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Reddi-Grinst since the third grade.

I should be the one taking her to our small-town high school reunion. The prom king finally gets his chance with the valedictorian.
Except she hates me.

To the world, I’m a pro hockey player with a million dollar smile. 
To Hemi, I’m the menace who (accidentally) sank her bike to the bottom of the lake.

I never thought I’d be able to right my wrongs until she took the team’s PR job.
I’d hoped I was making progress, winning her over—one geriatric polka party at a time.

Until I got drunk one night and made a mistake. A very big mistake.
Now the world thinks we’re both very much in love–—except Hemi is absolutely in loathe. 

To save our jobs and reputations, we have to convince all our friends, family, and bosses that our fake relationship is the real deal.

I’ll do anything to protect her, especially if it means I get to be the best boyfriend Hemi never expected.

[Review] IF YOU WANT ME (Toronto Terror, #2) by Helena Hunting

Cover Designer: Hang Le
Artwork by Rosie's Fables
Book Source: Received an egalley in exchange for an honest review.
Release Date: July 11, 2024

DESCRIPTION

A standalone age-gap, dad's best friend's hockey romance.

There’s no one more off limits than my best friend’s daughter.

Peggy Aurora Hammerstein. The Toronto Terror’s unofficial team princess. I would never do anything to mess with our team dynamics this late into the hockey season, but seeing her work in the front office changed something for me.

I see her as she is now: a powerful woman with ambition for miles.
When I hold her against me, she fits perfectly.

Her little flirts and taunts push my buttons, if she doesn’t stop–my control just might break.
But I can never cross that line. I can never know what it could be to call her mine.

I’ve never wanted anyone more than Aurora and no one can ever know.

*This is Hollis Hendrix's standalone novel. If you want to meet Hollis before you read this book, check out If You Hate Me, Rix and Tristan's story.

REVIEW

Helena's new Toronto Terror series has been off to a quick and intense start! In the first book, IF YOU HATE ME, we had an enemies-to-lovers romance that was also brother's best friend, and now in the second book, IF YOU WANT ME, we have an age gap and father's best friend. 

So far, my favourite part of the series continues to be the friend group and team dynamics, and I'm also loving the mentions and cameos from Helena's other popular series. It's so fun to see how all of her books connect and I'm loving that we'll definitely get to see lots of the past couples in future books, too.I'm already super excited for the next book in the series, IF YOU NEED ME, since it's going to be Hemi and Dallas's story...and I'm ALWAYS a fan of enemies-to-lovers.

Now onto, IF YOU WANT ME, Peggy/Aurora/Hammer (I'm going to stick with Hammer just for consistency :P) and Hollis definitely had some serious chemistry. The start of their story gave me some serious flashbacks to PUCKED and the banter was classic Helena Hunting. I was constantly laughing, and I loved seeing Hammer and Hollis's friendship in the beginning of the book...their antics when Hollis's cats, Postie and Malone, were involved were so adorable! I have to admit that I enjoyed the first half of the story more than the second part. Because the first book in the series dealt with a hidden relationship, I was a bit letdown by the fact that the second book did, too, and I wished it hadn't stretched on so long. Seeing Hammer and Hollis start to fall for each other was lovely though...I'm hoping we'll get to see Hammer's dad, Roman, find love sometime in this series though because that man has a lot of love to give and definitely needs someone to share his heart with.
 
Overall, IF YOU WANT ME was an absolute wild ride. If you're a fan of age gaps, forbidden romance, and angst then you will love Hammer and Hollis's story! It definitely feels like Helena Hunting has plans for a lot of the characters in the Toronto Terror series, so I'm excited to see how all of the stories unfold and who gets paired up!

REVIEW

Wowzers! I couldn’t put IF YOU HATE ME down! I’m always up for a new book for Helena Hunting, so I jumped at the chance to read and review this one nice and early and I’m so glad that I did! I read it both as an egalley and listened to bits of the advanced listener’s copy and both the ebook and audiobook were absolutely fabulous…the readers are amazing and Helena’s words were as captivating as always!

IF YOU HATE ME
was hilarious, heartwarming and jammed full of sizzling spice! Rix and Tristan were such wonderful characters and I had so much fun seeing them go from hate to something much, much deeper…and their chemistry was off the charts! I loved their solo journeys, and also how they complemented each other. I loved seeing Rix become more confident in herself, uncover her passions, and find a sense of belonging...and Tristan. Oh boy! I was right there with Rix when Tristan was on her last nerve, but he won me over hard! It was a delight to see him grow, and I love, love, loooooved seeing him learn to realize his own worth. Gotta love self-aware main characters who know they have to work on themselves! ;)
 
There truly was so much heart in this story...and it definitely didn't cool the heat down at all. In fact, I'd say this is one of Helena's spiciest books yet and if you haven't perfected your spicy reader poker face...you might want to watch if you decide to read this one in public...especially if the audio is your format of choice! It's a scorcher and you will likely find yourself blushing. ;)
 
Now onto the rest of the fabulous cast of characters! One of my favourite parts of starting new series from Helena is meeting her delightful cast of characters...and she's once again created the most excellent group of side characters who I desperately want to read about. I loved Rix's growing group of friends, and loooooved all of the Toronto Terror players! If you look around online, you might just spot some hints on what's in store next for this series (*hint hint* look for IF YOU WANT ME)...and I am seriously so excited for what's next! I'm also just so excited for all of the potential in this series, and can't wait until more and more people have read IF YOU HATE ME so we can all discuss who we want to read about next! ;)

Overall, I absolutely loved IF YOU HATE ME! Enemies-to-lovers is one of my favourite tropes and I'm always a fan of brother's best friend...so this was right up my alley! I also adored seeing a sports romance set in Toronto from one of my favourite Canadian authors! It was so fun to see certain Canadianisms...and even hear some of them in the audio version, too. I highly recommend IF YOU HATE ME to anyone who loves spicy rom-coms that are high on the spice scale and pack some delightful heat, especially if you also love hockey romances! This is one that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon and I already can't wait to reread it! ;)

[Release Day, Excerpt, + Review] WHERE IT BEGINS (Pucked, #0.5) by Helena Hunting

Source: Received an egalley to participate in the blog tour,
and also pre-ordered a Kindle version.
Release Date: December 5, 2023

DESCRIPTION

Single dad, hockey coach, and the last guy this single mom should fall for.

Where It Begins, an all-new swoon-filled Pucked novella from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting, is available now!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new story in her Pucked series. The untold story of Skye and Sidney, and the origin story where Vi and Miller are teens when their parents start dating and fall in love…

I accidentally grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop. On the upside, the hot guy it belonged to chased me down to kindly swap with me. On the down side, the reason I grabbed the wrong drink in the first place is because the hot guy had just caught me checking out his ass…sets.

In my defense, his rear view is rather magnificent.

In true, humiliating form, I word-vomited a bunch of horrible nonsense. Including an unnecessary explanation of the trauma I’d evaded thanks to his chasing me down. Nothing could ruin my lactose-intolerant day faster than my one true nemesis: dairy.

I did not expect him to ask me out on a date after that.

I also didn’t expect the date to go well since my tendency to truth-vomit is high, and not everyone finds that quality endearing.

But apparently he does. Because he asks me out again.
And again.

Sidney Butterson (yes, it’s a weird last name) ticks all my boxes.
He's smart, he's funny, he's employed and he's ridiculously hot.
There’s one catch.

We’re both single parents. With teens.

And if our kids don’t like each other?
Well, we’re doomed.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

REVIEW

I've been a fan of Helena Hunting's Pucked series for years, and I've been intrigued by Violet's mom, Skye, and her stepdad, Sidney, ever since we met them, so when Helena announced that she was writing Skye and Sid's story I was 100% on board and EXTREMELY excited...and I can now confirm that it was phenomenal! I only wish it had been longer because I would have gladly read 100s and 100s of pages about Sid and Skye. :P

WHERE IT BEGINS was adorable, hilarious, sweet, and delightfully spicy! It was so lovely seeing a closer look at Violet's parents and I adored seeing them fall in love! I loved getting to know them more in this novella...their chemistry was amazing, their banter was fantastic, and it was honestly just such a wonderful and fun experience following along while they got to know each other. It was also so fun to see Vi and Miller as teenagers and to see their dynamics with their parents...and what happened when they were all introduced, too! So many hilarious antics, heartwarming scenes, and delightful quirky moments that I personally love whenever Violet and her mom, Skye, are involved!

This novella was so much fun and I couldn't stop smiling the entire time that I read it! It made me want to go back and do a full re-read of Helena's entire Pucked series and the two spin-off series, too (All In and Lies, Hearts, and Truths), so that tells me it's not only perfect for super fans like myself, but also a great introduction to Helena's entire Pucked universe.

If you're a fan of romances that are heartwarming, spicy, and funny that you won't want to put down, then I highly recommend you pick up WHERE IT BEGINS and every other book that Helena Hunting has ever written because she doesn't miss. I have loved every single one of her books that I've read and I'm always delighted when I have something new from her to look forward to! Also, if you're a sports romance fan and you haven't read any of her books yet, you are seriously missing out!

EXCERPT

Hubert, the barista, calls out, “Skye and Sidney! Your lattes are ready!”

I rush forward and grab mine, muttering a hasty, “Thanks!” Then beeline for the exit. Of course, that’s the moment a hoard of teens barrel through the door, forcing me to hold it open until the entire gaggle has stormed the café.

Once outside, I hustle to the crosswalk. I punch the button and glare as the sign counts down from thirty.

And then I hear my name being called.

I glance toward the café and, much to my horror, the attractive man whose butt I was admiring is rushing toward me, coffee in hand.

“Hey! You’re Skye, right?” he asks.

“Yes. That’s me.” Maybe he didn’t mind my checking out his butt.

“You took the wrong coffee.” He taps the side of the cup with the name SKYE written in Larissa’s lovely cursive.

“Oh.” I turn mine around and see Sidney scrawled on the side. And it’s a pumpkin spice latte. Half sweet, skim milk. “Wow. I would have spent the rest of the afternoon working from a bathroom stall if you hadn’t caught me.” At his questioning expression, I continue with the embarrassing word vomit. “I’m lactose intolerant and this much dairy would mean stomach cramps for days.” I bite my lips together and close my eyes. “Sorry. You didn’t need to know that. I haven’t taken a sip. See. No lipstick prints.” I thrust the cup toward him and reluctantly crack a lid.

He’s smiling. Widely. “I’m very glad I caught you when I did then. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for an afternoon of prolonged discomfort.”

We exchange takeout cups. “It would’ve been my fault for not checking more than the S, but I was trying to escape my embarrassment. Seems like it’s following me around and making things worse.” I step away from this exceptionally hot man who inspires an unprecedented amount of word vomit. “Thank you for stopping me. You, uh...you didn’t drink out of mine, did you?”

“I didn’t.” His eyes are blue. So vibrant and pretty and his teeth are straight. I glance at his hand. His ring finger is bare. Then I realize he’s giving my hand the same inspection. “Do you work around here?”

“Just across the street.” I thumb over my shoulder. “You?”

“No, but I’m in the area often.” He tucks a hand in his pocket. “Maybe you’d like to grab a coffee later this week?”

I blink at him. Then open my mouth and ask a stupid question. “Are you asking me out?”
“Unless you’re already seeing someone. I didn’t see a ring, so I was hopeful.” His bottom lip slides through his teeth and for a moment, he looks boyishly handsome.

“But…you don’t know anything about me.” I don’t know why I haven’t said yes yet. He’s attractive and thoughtful enough to stop me from drinking the wrong coffee. His kindness saved me from ending up curled in the fetal position on a bathroom floor.

He rubs the back of his neck. “I’ve seen you here before. I’ve been working up the nerve to introduce myself. Looks like the universe gave me a push in the right direction.” He holds up a hand and gives his head a little shake. “I’m probably making this awkward. I’ll be here Wednesday at eleven-thirty. Hopefully, I’ll see you then.” And with that, he turns and disappears into the crowd.

REVIEW

I absolutely loved MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE!

I’m always a sucker for rom-coms, but throw in a vampire boyfriend and it’s a whole extra level of fun!

I thought the premise of this book was so fun, and I'm happy to say that it completely delivered! Hazy and Godric were amazing and I loved them together so-so much! Their romance was fabulous, the comedic parts of the story had me cracking up, and even under a different pen name, Helena Hunting, is just as hilarious and spicy as always! ;)
 
I loved getting to try something new from Helena, and I'm already hoping that this book turns into a series as I’d loved to see more stories about the other characters, and I’d love more of Hazy and Godric, too! 

Overall, I thought that MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE was a wonderful story! The plot was fun, the world-building was absolutely fascinating, and the characters were phenomenal! It doesn't have regular distribution in Canada and the US yet, but here's hoping it gets picked up soon because this enjoyable read deserves to be experienced by all! If you're a fan of rom-coms with heart, humour, and a quirky premise...even if you aren't always a fan of vampires...I think you'll absolutely adore this book! I loved and highly recommend it!

Release Date: August 29, 2023
Number of Pages: 400 (ebook)

DESCRIPTION

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep.
To be fair, she came out of nowhere.

I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike.
But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate.

Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored.

She was my icy Cinderella and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming.

Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie.
She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape.

Neither of us expected to fall.
Or for the truth to shatter us.

REVIEW

Ever since it was first announced I've been eagerly waiting for SHATTERED TRUTHS, and it was just as lovely and wonderful as I hoped it would be! I can already tell that it's going to be one of my top reads this year!

I've been a huge fan of Helena Hunting's for quite a while now, so it should come as no surprise that I love her Pucked series, All In series, and now her Lies, Hearts, and Truths series, too! I have absolutely loved how we've continued to see so many beloved characters, and I've adored just how much we've seen this whole little book universe grow! BJ, the hero of SHATTERED TRUTHS, happens to be the son of Randy and Lily from Pucked Over...and since they're my fave of the Pucked couples, you can bet I was super excited for his book...and boy did it deliver!

BJ and Winter were absolutely amazing main characters! I loved them apart, truly adored them together, and was rooting for them the entire time...their chemistry was off-the-charts, their banter was so good, and it was really lovely to see how they grew throughout the story...I actually forced myself to put this book down because I wanted to try to savour it...and sure enough, I wasn't ready for it to end and could've read 100s more pages about these two! They were an absolute delight! It was also lovely to see all of the fantastic side characters--Helena always writes such lovely friend and family groups and they honestly just keep getting better because it feels like we're part of their family at this point.

I highly recommend this book, the full series, and basically every single other book that Helena has ever written because I truly find her writing never disappoints me! SHATTERED TRUTHS had me laughing, smiling, tearing up, swooning and feeling all the feels, and I loved every single minute of it!

[Review + Release Day] BITTER SWEET HEART (Lies, Hearts, and Truths, #2) by Helena Hunting



Source: Received an egalley to participate in blog tour. 
Also purchased a Kindle copy.
Release Date: September 1, 2022
Number of Pages: 446 (ebook)

DESCRIPTION

From the outside looking in, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends. It’s not untrue, but it’s not quite that simple either.

My dad’s advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority—at least until I make it to the pros. So, going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. I’ll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. All I have to do is stay focused on the end game, and I’ll walk away with a degree and into a career in the NHL.

It should be easy.

But when a woman literally floats into my dock, just before summer ends and my senior year begins, I can’t resist one last hookup. What harm could a one-night stand do? It’s not like we even exchanged numbers.

Everything is fine until I run into her on campus.

It’s a big school. I should be able to avoid her.

Except she happens to be in my class.

And she’s not a student.

She’s my professor.

REVIEW

I absolutely loved BITTER SWEET HEART! I've been eager for Maverick's story ever since we got to see bits and pieces of him in LITTLE LIES! I loved his humour, and I loveeeeed his relationship with his sister, Lavender...so I was extremely excited when Helena Hunting first announced that Mav's book would be next in the series...and let me tell you, he did not disappoint!

Maverick was just as wonderful as I hoped he'd be! I loved his humour, his heart, and it was wonderful seeing him front and center...and it was a pleasure seeing him find love! Clover was wonderful, too! I knew a tiny bit about her because of teasers that Helena posted, but it was lovely getting to know her and I loved how she and Mav complemented one another! Their chemistry was absolutely on fire, too...definitely on the very, very steamy side...and I have to admit that I loved that about it! ;) Along with their chemistry, the banter and communication between Mav and Clover was something that I really appreciated. They were so honest with their feelings and the conversations they had throughout the book made me so happy. It was phenomenal to get to see them grow together!!! I also loved seeing so many of my fave characters from the Pucked, All In, and Lies, Hearts and Truths series!!! I already can't wait for future books...particularly BJ's! ;)

Overall, I loved BITTER SWEET HEART! It was steamy, and packed full of heart! It made me laugh, cry, swoon, and I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend both it and the first book (which takes place concurrently with this one), LITTLE LIES! If you're looking for a fantastic contemporary romance that features wonderful characters, a phenomenal and passionate romance, and a story that will keep you on your toes, then I think this is the perfect book for you! I'm even happy to share my new book boyfriend, Maverick, with you! ;)

[Review] A KISS FOR A KISS (All In, #4) by Helena Hunting

Source: Received an egalley to participate in the blog tour,
and also pre-ordered a Kindle version.
Release Date: May 27, 2021

DESCRIPTION

 There’s a small complication.

A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna.

A Kiss for A Kiss, an all-new second chance-at-love mature adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is available now!
I’m Jake Masterson, single dad, and the General Manager of Seattle’s NHL team. I walked away from a career as a player so I could raise my daughter. For the last twenty-plus years, Queenie has been my main priority, but now she’s getting married.

And there’s a small complication.

A beautiful, sexy complication named Hanna.

She’s my son-in-law’s older sister. Or at least that’s how they were raised. The truth is a little more scandalous than that.

I’ve been drawn to her from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I spent months trying to keep a lid on that attraction.

Until we finally give in.

It starts with one searing kiss, but quickly ends with us between the sheets—and in the shower, and the hot tub, you get the picture—and turns into months of sneaking around.

Here’s the problem: we live on opposite ends of the country. It can’t be anything but casual. And as I’ve already said…it’s complicated.

But when Hanna finds out she’s pregnant…suddenly things get real serious.

REVIEW

As soon as I met Jake and Hanna in A Secret for a Secret, King and Queenie's story, I was hoping and hoping that we would get to read their story someday...and that day has come, and it was sooooo worth the wait!I absolutely adored A Kiss for a Kiss, and Jake and Hanna's chemistry and their story was even more wonderful than I hoped it would be!

First, I loved that we got to see so much of King, Queenie, and the All In characters! I'm a huge fan of Helena Hunting's books in general, but I do have a serious soft spot for her Pucked series and All In series, so I definitely loved that Hanna and Jake fit right in with them! I also just loved Hanna and Jake on their own--they're both such strong characters, so I really respected them, but I also loved seeing them both open up and it was so lovely to see them grow together! As the blurb reveals, there's a later-in-life pregnancy in this one...all of the baby related stuff was very real, which I don't have experience with, but I very much appreciated! I felt so much joy as Hanna and Jake hit milestones and I was so invested in seeing where their life was headed...and I was just so, so happy with how this one wrapped up! It was lovely! I'm hoping we'll still get to see some snippets of these characters as Helena expands on the stories of the Pucked/All In kids...but who knows! haha

Overall, I thought that A Kiss for a Kiss was amazing! It was funny, steamy, and the story and romance were absolutely wonderful! Jake and Hanna had amazing chemistry, their story pulled on all of my heartstrings, and it left me with a huge smile on my face! While Jake and Hanna are a little older than some of Helena Hunting's other main characters, and the issues they faced were a little different than my own personal experiences, I don't think that kept me from connecting with them or loving them at all. I felt for Hanna and Jake so strongly, and I was rooting for them, their relationship, their kids...their love...just EVERYTHING, the entire time! I think that A Kiss for a Kiss is perfect for any contemporary romance fan!
