LATEST NEWS & UPDATE:

Happy Thursday, kinksters, smut lovers, and those who speak 'what the actual fuck is going on with this weather?'

Penelope and Tate have been out in the world for a whole week, and I have to say, their reception has been something of a fever dream for me. I was sooooo nervous about how their book would land with you all.

While I was writing Snowflakes and Slapshots (my next release), Tate made a comment in the novella about how Penelope helped him through the part of the book that made you all cry really hard and message me. Like, the really bad bit. (no spoilers). So while I had no real grasp of who this couple was when I wrote Snowflakes, it gave me something to work toward in their own story. Anyway, the response to my latest release has been heartwarming, thank you all so much <3

If you haven't picked up Dropping the Mitts yet, there's still time ;)

I thought I'd take this opportunity to tell you what's coming down the pipeline for the rest of 2024. There has been another big influx to my newsletter following the release of my recent book, My Brother's Teammates, so I want to make sure you hockey lovers don't miss the hockey pre-orders I have up right now.

First of all, welcome! If you're not in my Facebook reader group, following me (for free) on my Ream subscription platform, or following me on Amazon, those are all great places to keep your finger on the pulse of all things Lasairiona.

I know so many of you are jumping straight into Pen and Tate, and I hope that will drive you to go back and read my backlist, I have a bunch of hockey romances ready-to-binge!

As far as the next six months are concerned, here's what I have coming up:

July 11th Snowflakes and Slapshots - this Christmas novella will not be available in Kindle Unlimited (and paperbacks will only be available from me directly).

In the heart of snowy Iowa, as the holiday season descends upon the University of Cedar Rapids, the campus is abuzz with Christmas cheer. But for your favorite UCR Raccoons, life isn't all merry and bright: the clock is ticking down to a team Christmas party at the de la Pena mansion.

Told through multiple points of view, this enchanting tale weaves together the hopes, dreams, and struggles of the players as they navigate the magic of Christmas.

As the team prepares for their holiday party, they discover that the true meaning of Christmas isn't found in victories on the ice, but in the bonds they have cultivated with their teammates.

From going in to labor at a llama farm, to shopping for the perfect ring to pop the big question, this novella dives into the lives that have intertwined throughout the Raccoon's series, and the warmth of a team that becomes a family.

Perfect for a cozy winter read, "Snowflakes and Slapshots" captures the spirit of the season and the heart of college hockey.

November 7th Home for the Hockey-Days - this Christmas novella will not be available in Kindle Unlimited (and paperbacks will only be available from me directly).

In the frozen heart of Cedar Rapids, hockey hotshot August Kade collides with more than just his on-ice rivals when a fender bender sparks unexpected fire with Rowan Armistead - the whip-smart ex of his fiercest competitor.

As Christmas lights twinkle and tensions rise, the polar opposites find themselves skating on thinning ice.

Can the jock and the introspective beauty conquer their societal divides and the ghosts of relationships past? Or will their smoldering romance shatter under the weight of old wounds before the last hockey-day puck drops?

"Home for the Hockey-Days" is a sizzling novella about the improbable across-the-tracks romance that proves sometimes the greatest gifts come wrapped in unlikely packages.

Finally, on December 5th Resist - book 3 in the Protocol series under my pen name Lasairiona Lewis is set to release.

Phew. And that finishes out the year.

I do already have a couple of preorders up for 2025 for those of you who like to one-click everything on the docket. And I will tell you, whether or not Athena gets a book in this series will depend on the level of preorders/interest in Artemis's book 6. So please get clicking to preorder if you're not a Kindle Unlimited reader!

March 27th 2025: Book 6 in the Cedar Rapids Raccoon's series. Artemis and Claudia's story, Riding the Pine.

I'm also working on a collaborative 'thing' that will be available in February 2025. I'll share more information closer to the time but my story for that is called Dump and Chase and will feature the one and only Mrs. Gabriella de la Pena.

Eeeeeesh! I need a drink after all of that.

I know I'm repeating myself, but now everyone's on the same page *snort* and those of you who aren't on Kindle Unlimited can get a jump on preordering.

I'll be back next week with a little chapter teaser for Snowflakes and Slapshots. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

As the name suggests, it's a place for my readers to chat about all things romance - with a healthy dose of sarcasm, sharp wit, conversations comprised entirely of GIFs, sneak peeks, giveaways and a plethora of memes. It's one of my absolute favorite places on the internet and I'm really enjoying getting to know readers that bit better over there. Don't be shy - we don't bite... much! Come on over!

Justin

I thought I’d left my past in Minnesota when I moved to Iowa, but it was right there waiting for me.

Long blonde hair, curves in all the right places, and a death glare that hits harder than a slap shot to the solar plexus. On the ice, I’m a pro at blocking shots, but Savannah Bowen has slipped behind all my defenses and made a home in my heart.

I had no intention of revisiting the past, but when she’s damn near everywhere I go, I’m a goner.

Savannah

Hell freakin’ no.

He’s supposed to be my enemy, but the more I see of him, the blurrier the lines get.
