LAST EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT!

Tricky Puck

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello !

Today I'm putting the finishing touches on my soon-to-be-released hockey rom-com, Tricky Puck and that nervous excitement is starting to bubble up! It's kind of like how you would feel if you were going on stage, or about to play in a big game.

I may not have readers watching me while I write--thank goodness!--and I don't see their reactions while they read my book, but I anticipate the reactions of my readers--you!--as I write every word.

My hope is that you'll feel every feeling I put into my stories.I want you to feel excited, surprised, sad, very satisfied with the HEA and to make you chuckle when you come across that funny line I worked on for way too long to get it just right.

I write with pleasing you in mind. I think a lot about your reactions and enjoyment.

So if you read one of my books and enjoy it, or even some part of it, I'd love to know. And not just for the warm and fuzzy feeling it would bring me, but also for quality control.

After all, I want to give you more of what you like. So I need to know what that is. Also, you can let me know if something doesn't work. I can take it. 😩(Kidding. I promise I won't cry.) ❤

Next up, I'll be jumping with both feet into my Very Special Secret Project--a sports romance with a very exciting new twist!! More on that in coming Newsletters!

In the meantime, I'm thrilled to share the LAST EXCLUSIVE excerpt from Tricky Puck with you. Check out a piece of Link and Delaney's story below.

This weekend I got together with friends in Kennebunk, Maine to celebrate a birthday➜➜➜➜➜➜

While my H fended for himself, he went for a motor cycle ride to Hampton Beach. It was a weekend for appreciating the ocean! ❤️

Meanwhile, our new dryer was delivered and it's a perfect match for our washing machine--totally by accident. Also, it dries the clothes without leaving black marks and tearing them up!

Some of may favorite reviews from the past!

Amazon Top 100 Sports Romance

Best Man on Campus

"Wow! What a read!! All I can say is wow! This sizzling college sports romance sucked me in at the start and I couldn't put the book down until I read the last word, sitting on the edge of my seat hanging on the roller coaster of emotions and I loved every second!!"

--Pamela R. Mitchell

"This book... OMG! I’m emotionally drained from reading this book. Ben & Jazzy. Ben, there is nothing not to like about this man!... This book of fiction addresses a real life issue for so many woman. It is brilliantly written, a book that is very hard to put down."

--JK

"Speechless... I really enjoyed Big Man on Campus, the first book in the series but this one was really powerful... If you like broken girls and lots of angst you have to read this one. This is my favorite that I have read from Stephanie Queen so far. I highly recommend it."

--P. Gerard

I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave reviews.💜

TRICKY PUCK

LAST EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT!

We get out of the elevator on the top floor, and though it’s only five stories up, she blows out a whistle.

“Private elevator? I should have guessed you’d live in a penthouse.”

“Not too tired for sarcasm,” I say.

She pulls away from me and walks across the room to the floor to ceiling window overlooking the harbor. I don’t bother pointing out that if this was New York, I wouldn’t be able to afford a harbor view.

“Nice view.” I join her to watch the lights twinkle off the water in the small harbor.

“I like it.” Opening the door I take her out to the balcony with a hand on her lower back. Touching her is tricky since I promised myself I’d let her sleep and at least try not to further complicate our… situation. I can’t call it a relationship.

Breathing in the cool salty night air gives me the fortitude I’ll need to make that happen.

She shudders and wraps her arms around herself as she stares at the dark sky.

“Let’s go inside and I’ll show you around.”

“I’ve never seen so many stars.” She looks up at me. “Your place will have to be draped in gold to beat the view from your balcony.”

“I thought you said you weren’t impressed with money.”

“No more than the average girl.” She yawns half way through her smile as I slide the door closed behind us.

“This is the living room.” I point to my right. “There’s the dining room. Follow me to the kitchen.”

“I can see it from here you know.” She follows me in spite of her sass and we head for the large island and then turn left. The kitchen is huge and the sink has a window overlooking the yacht club and bay beyond.

“A person might think you were a cook if she didn’t know better.” She runs her hand over the marble countertops and stands in front of the sink gazing out the window. “Okay. I’m impressed. A corner unit.” She yawns again.

I laugh. “I can see how impressed you are. I guess it’s time to show you to the bedroom.” I take her hand and lead her down a hall past a half bath and a small office to my bedroom.

“You only have one bedroom?”

“It’s all I’ve ever needed.”

“What about when people visit—”

“You’re staying in my room.” I watch for her reaction, unable to resist flirting.

She gives me her game face and in spite of the twitch in my dick, I settle down.

“Don’t worry. I’ll behave.”

“Maybe. Maybe it’s not such a good idea.”

“Fine.” I shrug, though the gesture causes a sharp pain to shoot through my back like my body is calling me a liar. I open the door and step inside the bedroom. She stays on the threshold

“It’s only one night, Delaney. You’ll be leaving in the morning after a good night’s sleep. I promise. I don’t want to have to worry about you driving off the road into the woods never to be seen again.”

“You’re so sweet.” Her tongue is squarely in her cheek. “There’s only one problem with your suggestion.” She pauses, so I bite even though I can see her next words coming from a mile away and I’m already smiling.

“I’m not likely to get a good night’s sleep in the same bed with you no matter how well behaved you are.”

I let the smile have its way with my mouth, a warm sizzle of anticipation infusing me slowly, different from the hot pounding rush of lust I felt a few nights ago. But oddly better, deeper, chest expanding and heart thumping, not wildly, but with a strange kind of resonance.

“I notice you didn’t say no.”

She huffs a sigh. “Don’t start keeping score again, Milano.” She pushes past me. “Make that big over-muscled body of yours useful and bring my luggage in.”
