Howdy y'all!

First things first:

It. Is. HERE.

*wipes brow and takes a slug of straight tequila at 9am*

If you're on Kindle Unlimited and didn't pre-order Two for Boarding, clickety click here and download that sucker because Austin and Mackenzie are out in the universe!!

My book baby has been birthed - and boy is it girthy AF. This book was my longest book to date - not that it made any difference to how quickly my ARC team devoured it!! LOL!

To say I'm proud of how this book came out is an understatement. I know it's different, I know it's edgier, I know it's not 'the same' as the rest of the books in the series and I'm okay with that. Within any group of people you'll find diversity. It's what makes the world so freakin' beautiful.

Austin and Mackenzie's story couldn't have been told any other way and if it's not for you, I get it, that's totally cool - but stick with me, stick with my Snow Pirates. I've still got at least two more stories to tell in this series - Will and Quinn are up next and let me tell you, their story knocked me on my butt, y'all.

For those of you who are new to my newsletter, here are the deets of what you can expect from Austin and Mackenzie's story in Two for Boarding:

 NA College hockey romance

 Workplace/forbidden romance (hockey player/trainer)

 Kink (Sub/Dom)

 Lemon trifle and margaritas

 Slow burn, medium steam, low angst

Please note: Austin is a pleasure dom. 

 Praise vs Ordering

 Dominance vs Steadfast rules

 Pleasure vs Sadomasochism

Directing vs Making

 Encourages pushing limits vs making harsh demands

Secondly - it's a new month, which means our Bookaneers Book Club has a new FREE hockey romance read for the month. If you're not in my reader group on Facebook, come over and join the discussion.

This month's free read is The Rule Maker by Gina Azzi. I hadn't read this one, but I love Gina's books so it's no surprise that I devoured this in 24 hours and thought it was super cute.

The Rule Maker by Gina Azzi

NHL Boston Hawks captain Austin Merrick used to be my boy-next-door. Now, he's the man on my mind.

Our paths haven't crossed in over a decade when I find myself back in Boston, desperate to save face in front of my ex-fiancé. With a devilish smirk and wicked blue eyes, Austin steps back into my life to be my plus one for a summer filled with weddings and events. 

Should be fun and effortless, right?

Then why the need for rules?

And why do I crave his touch at the small of my back and wish for his kiss on a moonlit beach? 

Suddenly, things begin to feel complicated, messy, and real. When I look at my first friend, I don't see the boy-next-door, but the man I want to spend forever with.

If Austin learns the depth of my feelings, will he give us a real chance? Or are some rules better left unbroken?

Until next time, y 'all,

Intimate Strangers

Is there such a thing as too perfect?

Lisa Millar wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a guy on the Internet. But she did. Other than living over five thousand miles away in America, AJ Williams is seemingly her perfect match. Strikingly handsome, musically talented, plays hockey and has a typical college-guy life. In a moment of carpe diem, Lisa flies from Ireland to Alabama to surprise her internet-beau and finds herself face to face with an inconceivable reality that she couldn’t possibly have prepared for. How well can you truly know someone you meet online?

Will true love win out, or will AJ’s secret life be too much for Lisa to bear?

Game Changer

AJ Williams wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a girl on the internet. But he did.

Other than living over five thousand miles away in Northern Ireland, Lisa Millar is seemingly his perfect match. AJ can’t quite believe his luck, not only is she beautiful, but she has an appreciation for both music and hockey - two of his favorite things.

Surprised by Lisa turning up unannounced in Alabama, AJ is under pressure to deal with the issue at hand.

Should he risk losing her, come clean and tell her the truth?

Or should he try to keep his secret under wraps?

Will true love win out? Or will AJ’s secret be too much for Lisa to bear?

Four Letter Feelings

Jeremy Lewis has just returned from a year in Europe, ready to start college in Alabama and pursue his dream career in the National Hockey League. Other than boring school work, he’s eager to play hockey, hang out with his new teammates and maybe even rekindle an old flame when Chelsea Davis unexpectedly reappears in his life.

Life is looking pretty darn peachy.

But when his world is turned upside down by a tragic loss, merely surviving each day feels like an achievement. How can he get through college and keep his budding career on track when all he wants to do is drink and squander his parent’s fortune? Can he convince Chelsea he’s a changed man when he seems so intent on his own destruction?
