An EXCLUSIVE Snippet: TRICKY PUCK!
đź’śđź’śđź’śđź’śđź’śđź’ś
Hello !
Happy Easter! Or if you don't celebrate Easter, have a wonderful day whatever you may celebrate. đź’ś
This week I've hit the slow-down in writing I always run into after the initial burst of inspiration I have beginning a novel. In this case, the burst lasted 7 chapters into writing Tricky Puck.
In spite of my slow-down, I'm still ready to share a snippet with you!
BTW, in case you're wondering, a snippet is shorter than an excerpt--at least in this case.
You can let me know what you think when you read the snippet.❤️

At SQ's House
I made chocolate chip with walnuts and the SQ specials: chocolate chip with coconut!
Check out my pink apron âžśâžśâžśâžś
BONUS: I made a video of the whole process!
Meanwhile, let me say that I am NOT a professional!
So I hope you weren't expecting one of those polished, mistake-free, concise videos with smooth transitions and magical cookies at the end.
I'm such an amateur that I used a hand mixer because I don't have one of those big stand mixers, and I almost burnt out the motor on my little mixer! Legit--I smelled something burning in that motor!
At one point, I took the cookies out of the oven and discovered they weren't ready so I had to shove them back in!
Sure, I could have edited the mistakes out, but where's the fun in that?
In the meantime, the UConn men's basketball team won their Sweet 16 game and made it to the Elite 8! Yay!
Go Huskies!. 🏀 ❤️
What's your favorite kind of home baked cookie?

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥
He Has Pluck - an enemies to lovers hockey romance
Juliette
Can I really keep my professional distance from a subject if I sleep with him?
“You asked for it, Hockey Boy. Don’t cry to me tomorrow looking for more.” He raises a brow, but his eyes go from simmering to a full boil, and he follows me when I turn and walk to the bedroom.
As soon as I walk through the door, I step out of my shoes and start lifting off my sweater. With my back to him, I finish undressing. I can feel him, hear his breathing change, but he doesn’t say a word. Finally naked, I turn.
“What are you waiting for?” He’s still fully clothed. My gaze darts to the zipper of his jeans, to that magnificent bulge, and my fingers itch to free it from the confines of his clothes, to take him in my hands and then my mouth. I look back up at his mouth to see that smug smile shaky with need.
He reaches for his shirt, and I say, “No sex.” He stops, his face like stone, and squints at me.
“No fucking,” I amend. “I want you in my mouth and—”
“I get the picture,” he says. His raspy voice doesn’t sound at all disappointed. He rakes his eyes over me, making no attempt to touch and instead, he unzips his jeans and pulls out his cock.
Dizziness from lust and all the blood flooding to my pussy makes me sway as I move toward him and reach my hand to hold his mouth-wateringly big stiff cock. But he takes my wrist and stops me, instead pushing me back onto the bed.
“I’m hungrier than you are, and I’ve been dying to get a taste of you all fucking night, Ice Chip.” He lowers himself to my side and sweeps a hand from my neck down to my pussy and then leans in and kisses me on the lips, soft and caressing, and then hard until I open my mouth, let him in and kiss him back. The sensations take over, blocking out everything, my life, my past, my future. They don’t exist, only our mouths, hungry and exploring, tasting.
“You taste so fucking good,” he says, his hands caressing, moving everywhere like he’s blind and searching. “You feel damn good, too.” He nibbles my ear, sending the mother of shivers through me. This isn’t the kind of sensation I’m used to. This is too intimate, too intense. Too irresistible.
“Get on with the show if you’re—”
He doesn’t let me finish my sentence, taking my mouth and swallowing my tongue and all the words and thoughts with it. His hand snakes down over my ribs again, down to my navel and then to the mound where my pussy starts, and he strokes the light fuzz of hair there, so close, so fucking close where I need him to touch. I buck my hips up and moan into his mouth.
He sucks my tongue and fills my mouth with his, overwhelming me with the velvety invasion. With his hand, he clamps down on my hip, keeping me in place, and slides it down to caress my upper thigh, bypassing my pussy.
I moan again as I throb with need and reach for him, finding his cock and gripping it, shocked by the diamond-cutter hardness, the length and thickness and the silky-smooth feel as it pulses in my hand. He groans, and I let out a strangled moan, moving my hips against him.
This time when he pushes me back into the mattress, he lifts himself up and moves between my legs, forcing me to let go of him. Then, with his eyes intense on mine, holding me in the grip of that sensual stare, the kind I don’t remember ever seeing before, so laser-focused on me like I’m the beginning and end of his world, he lowers himself and slips his arms under my thighs, lifting them over his shoulders and positioning me so...

EXCLUSIVE SNIPPET - from TRICKY PUCK
a fake relationship hockey rom-com
Link
“I’ll tell you what I think.” I keep my voice low for emphasis.. “You’re smart and hot and you don’t need a matchmaker to find a date. Which means you don’t want to date and some well-meaning family member set you up—for your own good—because you’re damaged and lonely and you don’t think you need a man to make you happy.”
She opens her mouth, doesn’t say a word for a beat, and doesn’t move her eyes from mine, not even a blink. I stare back at her bright blue eyes, concentrating hard not to be distracted, to keep sharp for the sparring. The last thing I want is to be blind sided by an uppercut. Without even a flicker in my attention, I wait for her return shot.
“Very revealing. I was wondering why you were here.”
“I notice you didn’t tell me I was wrong.” I hold back my smile, but it’s damned difficult to keep my expression blank when it should be automatic.
“Now that we have that cleared up, let’s order a drink.” She’s looking over my shoulder at the server as the young woman approaches.
“I’ll have—” she starts, but I cut her off, with good intentions of course.
“We’ll both have Pappy van Winkel, straight up.” A glance tells me she’s more impressed than shocked. “And leave the bottle.”
Now she’s shocked.
But she recovers fast.
“Your strategy is to get me drunk? Not very original.”
“I thought you said you weren’t a lightweight.”
“I didn’t say your strategy would work.” She unleashes the twinkle in her eye with a full blown smile now. And damn it if my body doesn’t overreact before I can keep myself under control. My blood races to my cock leaving a trail of sparks that make me so hot I want to strip naked—or strip her naked.
Make that both of us...

Zeus - Eden Finley
After constantly looking over my shoulder as I run for my life, I’m on the brink of giving up.
On happiness.
On love.
On life.
Which is why, when a familiar face shows up where I’m hiding, I shock myself by running again. Though, probably not as shocked as Zeus is when I run him off the road with my car.
For some reason, my survival instinct is stronger than my mind is, and I find myself fighting for the life I’m not even sure I want.
On the run and nowhere to turn, I flee into the arms of the last person I should. Suddenly, I find myself involved in one of the worst crime syndicates in Las Vegas, and no way to get out.
ZEUS
Why would Callie run away from me? I’m delightful, damn it. I mean, sure, he probably thinks I’m trying to kill him, but I’m not. I’ve been hired to make sure he’s okay and that he’s surviving after escaping an abusive relationship, making mistakes, and putting multiple people’s lives in danger.
He screwed up, but he doesn’t deserve to die for it. And now, because of me, his life is at risk yet again.
Technically, my job is done. Callie is still breathing. That’s all I was supposed to find out. But I can’t sit by knowing he’s selling his soul. His body. I need to get him out, and I’ll go to any lengths to do it.
