He needs a fake fiancée.

Unfortunately, he’s decided he wants me.

Ace Ambrose is the playboy captain of the Harrisburg Hawks. I’m the Blue Line Matchmaker who fixes hockey players’ love lives—including his.

I accept the contract.

Two weeks with his family. One fake engagement. And very clear rules: no kissing, no hooking up, and absolutely no falling in love.

Until Ace looks at me like I belong to him.

Suddenly, I’m in serious trouble.

 Violet Conrad Lamour, a professional matchmaker and Ace Ambrose’s captain of the Harrisburg Hawks, falls in love after seeking her services. Their way to their happily ever after took us on one wild ride.

I have been waiting for Ace and Violet's story, and it did not disappoint. The plot was filled with family drama on both sides, and it was not pretty. I actually feel sorry for both characters and their family life, although Ace's skin was thicker; the things that both of them suffered because of family will break your heart.

The descriptions of its characters ring true; when you look deeper, Violet and Ace are not at all what they appear. This is not a plot that you end up loving all its characters; there are some you will find unredeemable.

I loved Violet; she was everything you could want in a character. Ace grows more and more on you with each passing page, and we grew to love him. Violet brought out the best in him.

Overall, I loved everything about the story: the romance, the complicated family relationships, character growth, and the fact that Violet dropped her guard long enough to let Ace in. She was worthy of love, and the work to earn her trust and love.

The chemistry between Violet and Ace was awesome; their banter was fun and flirty. The little moments between them melted your heart. I love a good plot where you find your perfect match, and it ends up being your soulmate because they were clearly meant for one another.

KNOTTY OR NICE

Ari Wright

Release Date: November 5, 2026

Meet Ari Wright:

Ari Wright resides in a sun-soaked corner of the United States, where she spends her days raising

littles, cooking, reading, consuming massive amounts of music, and doing entirely too much

daydreaming.

Ari began writing novels at the age of twelve. A passionate book-lover all her life, her mother once joked

that she had to start writing her own stories because she had read everyone else’s. After fifteen years

of writing, Ari finally set out to author her debut contemporary romance novel. It has been her lifelong

dream to share the worlds inhabiting her mind with others. Welcome to her dream come true!

Blurb:

Naughty or nice... Why choose?

Aside from her name, Noelle has never been a particularly festive person—or a very lucky one. So

getting stood up by her supposed scent-matches two days before Christmas? Didn’t really surprise her.

Noelle can’t blame anyone but herself. Based on her past, she ought to have known better than to

believe her silliest wish had finally come true. This year, she vows things will be different. No more

holiday cheer or delusional dreams…

Until her match service calls to place her with a new pack of potential mates.

At their first meeting, Elias and Carson obliterate all of Noelle’s plans for a lonely holiday. Unlike her

other supposed “matches”, they truly want her. They’re also pretty much perfect. A kind, gallant pro-

goalie and a world-famous coach with just enough dominance to make her knees weak.

There’s only one problem.

Well, two problems.

It turns out, the nice alphas aren’t her only mates. She’s also an exact match for their professional

rivals—cocky hockey superstar, Xander, and his broody-but-menacing packmate, Jett.

She expects the challengers to back off once they see who they’re up against. Instead, Noelle’s not-so-

nice pack proves they’re to do whatever it takes to win her over.

Even if it means getting snowed in with their sworn enemies.

Knotty or Nice was a pleasant read, something new and different. Noelle is looking for her mate, and she's been. Match Scent gives you the possibilities of your match. Noelle is matched with two different packs.

Noelle's character is very emotional and carries baggage that has affected her and her wolf, and it doesn't help that her first match rejected her. She is also the sweetest thing you will ever meet.

The characters were fantastic; her mates have different personalities and lend something different to the potential mating. Some are softer; others are possessive; Elias comes with a dominant side, but all want her safe, protected, and theirs.

The dynamic between these male characters leads to fighting amongst themselves; alphas of their packs, which makes things difficult, as Noelle's wolf side knows these men are hers and it's impossible to choose. We loved how they stopped focusing on themselves and started concentrating on what Noelle needed to be happy.

Many heartfelt, touching moments will make you smile; the chemistry among them was pure fire. So many hot and sexy scenes will have you fanning yourself.

Elias was our favorite character; we felt the connection and chemistry that he had with Noelle was extra special. Jett came in second with his sexy self.

You have hot alpha wolves who are hockey players, all wanting to be your mate; what is a girl to do? We enjoyed this story because we found the characters awesome and the plot interesting, and we love diving into different worlds and exploring what an omegaverse world looks like.

As much as we enjoyed the story, I am not sure this is a world for me, or maybe I had a different idea of what it would look like. We knew more than one mate would be involved, but are they not shifters too? Do they ever let the wolf out? Are they always in human form, just connected to their bonded inner wolf? We think we need to explore this omegaverse world a little more and see if we will come to love these kinds of stories. However, we always love a good plot when paranormal comes with a cast of sexy hockey players.

Book Tour for Guarded by Eden Sloane

Title: Guarded

Series: Boston Renegades

Author: Eden Sloane

Genre/Tropes: Hockey Romance; Fake Marriage; Morally Grey Heroine; Single Dad; Bookish Hero; Found Family

Release Date: October 20, 2026

NHL goalie Sebastian Voss can stop a hundred-mile-an-hour slapshot. Convincing a judge he deserves custody of his daughter? That’s proving considerably harder.

His solution? A fake marriage to the woman he’s already falling for.

For three years, Sebastian has fought to keep the little girl who means everything to him. But a steady stream of headlines portraying him as hockey’s favorite womanizing disaster has left his reputation in tatters and his custody case hanging by a thread.

If Sebastian wants to prove he can offer his daughter the stable home she deserves, Kat Morrison is his best shot.

She’s smart, beautiful, inexplicably unimpressed by his charm, and the first woman in years who makes Sebastian want something for himself. Asking a woman he barely knows to become his wife is probably insane. Falling for her before she ever says yes is definitely worse.

But if putting a ring on Kat’s finger gives Sebastian a better chance at keeping his daughter, he’ll risk his heart without hesitation.

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake.

Not because she doesn’t love him.

Because she does.

For three years, Kat has been forced to write the lies destroying Sebastian’s reputation, blackmailed into obedience by the one man who holds her brother’s future in his hands.

But now Kat is living in his house, wearing his ring, loving his daughter, and falling deeper for the family she was supposed to help destroy. Somewhere between stolen kisses, tangled sheets, and building a life together, their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously like forever.

Except forever has an expiration date when it’s built on a secret.

And Kat knows that when Sebastian discovers the truth, she may lose the only man she’s ever loved.

Eden Sloane believes the best love stories aren't about perfect people. They're about imperfect people who keep choosing each other, even after the truth changes everything.

She writes emotionally charged contemporary romance featuring devoted heroes, resilient heroines, impossible choices, and love worth risking everything for. Her stories celebrate the courage it takes to love completely.

When she's not plotting emotional damage (followed by well-earned happily ever afters), Eden can usually be found gardening, trying to win an ongoing battle with the weeds in her yard, drinking far too much caffeine, enjoying a nightcap while watching BBC crime dramas with her husband, and keeping tabs on her four children.

And if you're reading this during the winter, please send warm thoughts. Eden is somewhere in the Midwest, questioning every life choice that led her to a place where the air hurts her face.

For a chance to save his daughter, he’ll do whatever it takes…

Sebastian Voss has spent the last three years fighting for custody of the little girl who means everything to him. Between a narcissistic ex-wife, her new fiancé, and a steady stream of damaging headlines painting him as the NHL’s favorite womanizing disaster, Sebastian is running out of options.

Then he lands on one reckless, desperate solution. He needs a wife.

Kat Morrison should be the last woman he asks. He barely knows anything about her except for her storm-gray eyes, freckles, and captivating aura.

But Sebastian has been gone for her since the moment they met, and if marrying Kat gives him a better chance at keeping his daughter safe, he’ll risk everything.

Even his heart.

Kat knows saying yes is a mistake.

Not because she doesn’t love him.

Because she does.

For three years, she’s been forced to write the lies that have damaged Sebastian’s reputation and cost him chance after chance in court. Blackmailed into obedience to save her brother’s life, Kat has become the weapon aimed straight at the only man who’s ever made her feel safe.

Now she’s living in his house, wearing his ring, loving his daughter, and falling deeper for the family she was supposed to help destroy.

But the closer Sebastian and Kat get, the harder it becomes to tell where the lie ends and forever begins.

And when the truth finally comes out, Sebastian could lose more than custody of his daughter.

He could lose the woman he’s loved all along.
