Series: Tennessee Thunderbolts #3

Author: Gina Azzi

Release Date: September 8, 2022

BLURB

Lioness. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I see the brilliant redhead selling cupcakes at the hockey arena.

With the soul of an artist and the spirit of a nomad, Bea Turner is gorgeous, quirky, and refreshing.

She’s also my teammate’s little sister.

As the Tennessee Thunderbolts' Rookie, I should steer clear. I’m here to play hockey and provide much-needed financial security for my family. To do that, I need to avoid distractions.

Bea doesn’t just distract me; she flips my world upside down. One bad joke has me pursuing her. One date and I crave more. Calling her mine? Well, now I’m dreaming of a future.

The life of a hockey player — trades, travel, uncertainty — isn’t for the heart of a creative. Bea desires adventure and possibility, not early morning skates and strict exercise regimens.

When I’m thrust into a situation at odds with Bea’s dream career, I know I can’t hold her back. If we’re meant to be, we’ll make it work. But what if we’re not?

What if my greatest regret is letting my lioness go?

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Rookie’s Regret is the third book in the Tennessee Thunderbolts series. It has the sweetest main characters you can’t help but fall in love with.  They are so sincere, and both are dedicated to their family.

Cole had just made it to pro hockey.  He is committed to his team and works hard.  He doesn’t have time for distractions or anything else because his family is depending on him financially.  But at the first sight of Bea, he is stunned and craving a future with her.

Bea has returned home to help her brothers care for their Gran.  Art is her love, and she willingly gave it up to come home but when her dream opportunity is presented can she risk losing it?

A beautiful and emotional story that will have you cheering on Cole and Bea.  It will have you smiling until the end.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hot Shot's Mistake by Gina Azzi

 

Title: Hot Shot's Mistake

Series: Tennessee Thunderbolts #1

Author: Gina Azzi

Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance

Release Date: May 12, 2022

BLURB

Tangling up with my new physical therapist, Mila Lewis, is a mistake. One I can’t seem to stop making.

When I sign with the Tennessee Thunderbolts, I have two goals: prove my injury hasn’t benched my career and get back to New York.

But then, I meet Mila, the enigmatic therapist tasked with rehabbing my shoulder.

With her long ponytail, professional demeanor, and girl-next-door look, Mila is nothing like my usual type. She’s better—a good girl with sad eyes and a tragic past our small-town loves to dissect.

With the entire town up in her business, our budding connection is far from simple. I’m not staying, and Mila will never leave.

Deep down, I know I should walk away and let her find the happily-ever-after she deserves.

But I can’t. Not without showing her that it could be me.

And that may be the biggest mistake of all.

THE TRAILBLAZER by Gina Azzi

 

 Release Date: November 11

I always knew I’d marry my first everything, Declan Yaeger, the Southern boy with Irish roots. That was before he became my first heartbreak, a NHL superstar with a playboy reputation I no longer recognize.

The summer he left our small, Tennessee town, to pursue his hockey dream is the summer my life changed. That was seven years ago, before he became a defenseman for the Boston Hawks. Before I became fixated on my career, losing pieces of myself along the way.

To protect my grandfather's legacy, I agree to marry my oldest childhood friend, Henry. But when I enter the Church on my wedding day, the grey eyes piercing mine aren’t my fiancé’s.

They’re Declan’s, the last person I expect to show up with an offer of his own. One I can’t refuse even though my heart should know better than to accept.

Will my marriage to Declan heal the broken between us? Or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our past?

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:

Vivi learns after the death of her grandfather that he had added a wedding stipulation to his will and if she doesn’t marry by her next birthday, she will lose control of her beloved foundation.  She has worked hard leading the Harrison Foundation and if her cousin becomes an equal partner the foundation will suffer.  With no prospects of husbands in her life, she asks her best friend Henry to marry her.  As the time of the wedding is approaching, she lets Henry off the hook just in time for Declan to arrive on the scene.  

Declan and Vivi had known each other since childhood and were high school sweethearts.  But everything changed when he left to pursue his hockey career and never came back to town.  When Declan’s father tells him Vivi is marrying Henry, Declan leaves his first game on the team to make it there before the wedding.  Discovering why Vivi needs to get married, he offers to marry her.  He has a lot of questions about the past and hopes by marrying her they can have a second chance.

The Trailblazer is the seventh book in the Boston Hawks Hockey series.  While I have read a few of the books, I had no trouble reading any of them as a standalone.  The book was well written, had low angst, and was entertaining.  I loved seeing characters from previous books and the rest of the team.  The teammates and their wives have a strong connection and are amazingly supportive of each other.  Vivi and Declan had issues that kept them apart and they were all due to a lack of communication.  Once they started communicating with each other their relationship grows.  Their connection was strong, and I was so happy they got a second chance together.  This was a great book and it led to the next one.  I look forward to reading it next.

 Release Date: August 5

As Boston's most eligible nanny, I'm nurturing, trustworthy, and professional. Until my one-night stand turns out to be my new boss. 

Hawks defenseman James Ryan is Boston's most eligible single-dad. He's solemn, gorgeous, and an incredible father. But I'm drawn to him for other reasons. 

James's eyes reflect the same grief and hurt I'm drowning in. His twins struggle with the same pain that once destroyed me. Living with the Ryan family and caring for James's twins are both a salve and a curse. 

Soon, what made us click one summer night over whiskey is wreaking havoc on our commitment to remain professional. Our friendship blossoms into something more. Something searching, healing, and unbelievably complicated. 

Falling in love with Milly and Mason Ryan is easy. Falling in love with their father is something I never saw coming.  

If I give my heart to James, will he put it back together? Or will I end up more shattered than I already am? 

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:

The Defender is book five of the Boston Hawks Hockey series.  I had no trouble reading it as a stand-alone.  This was a new-to-me author, and I am glad I had the chance to read the book.  It was full of emotions and chemistry between the two main characters.  I loved seeing James and Bella’s relationship grow as they helped each other with their grief from the loss of a loved one.  The storyline and characters were developed and realistic.  I look forward to future books from this author.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Defender is a deeply emotional, single dad romance, with sensitive subject matter.
