At SQ's House
Yesterday was one of those perfect days at home. What does that look like you ask?
After writing 3k words first thing in the morning, my husband made me lunch and then we settled in to watch UConn basketball—both men and women! 🏀 (hint: I'm an alum and both teams are ranked in the top 20 nationally!). And both teams won! Here's a pic of me and my friends at a UConn BBall game in 2020➜➜
If that wasn't enough, we then watched the Bruins 🏒 and the Celtics 🏀, our professional home teams, both ranked #1 in their leagues, and they both won! What a day for a sports nut like me!
Meanwhile, I had a birthday earlier in the week. It was cakeless—by choice—because getting in shape doesn't happen by scarfing down empty calories when you sit around and write and watch sports all day.
I know—I should be exercising. But in my defense, it's been wicked cold outside so we haven't been walking. Next week.. ❤️📚
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥
from Best Man on Campus
Ben
At the door, I take the key from her like I’m that guy, and she laughs, amused, and lets me open the door. My hands are shakier than hers, as if I’m nervous. Maybe I am. I don’t know what I’m going to get with Jazzy. What roller-coaster ride she’s going to take me on, what kind of emotional whiplash I might suffer. We go inside and she pushes the jacket off my shoulders as she backs me into the closed door, running her hands over my chest as if she’s reading braille.
“You’re so fucking buff, you should be illegal,” she says.
“I thought you were the crime around here.” I push off the door and separate from her before my legs collapse from exhaustion or excitement. I take her hot hand and lead her to the couch.
“So we’re getting right to it, are we?” She sits on the couch and pulls me down next to her.
“It’s not that, but I skated hard tonight and it’s catching up to me.” It’s been a long season and being with her the other night didn’t help my cause, but I’m not about to complain about that. Not ever.
She leans against me. Her hand reaches for my fully aroused cock and squeezes, hard. Her hot mouth almost touches mine. My eyes are on hers but her face is so close it’s blurry. I keep focused on her dark lashes and the glazed hungriness of her pupils. My heart’s beating too fast for me to think, but I talk anyway.
“Are you ready for this, Jazzy?” I nibble at her lips and she breathes into my mouth, tasting salty and sweet.
“I’m dying for you, I need to suck—”
“I brought some condoms this time.” I hold my arms around her, prepared to get serious, to deal with whatever demon haunts her.
“No condoms tonight, unicorn boy.” She pulls at my zipper. “I like it raw. In my mouth. That’s my specialty. Didn’t anyone ever tell you that?”
I don’t answer that I had heard that rumor because I never took it seriously. Shoving my disappointment aside, I push her back on the couch and cover her with my body. Trailing kisses down her delicate pulsing throat, to her collarbone, I pull her shirt down, exposing one plump breast topped with a cherry-red nipple, pebbled and ready to suck into my mouth. As soon as I take it, she gasps and I flick my tongue, enjoying the texture, the taste of her, taking the nipple in my teeth and biting down just enough to feel the flesh give and hear her whimper and moan. Blood thunders through me now and floods straight to my cock, engorging it, making it leap and cry for more than her hand rubbing me over my jeans.
I was supposed to talk about her demons, but the demon in my pants isn’t interested and letting her suck me off isn’t the worst thing that could happen, so I sit up, taking her with me and I let her unzip me as my mouth travels back to hers.
“My god, you’re harder than granite. I need to make you lose every ounce of your fucking self-control, I need to see you—”
“Jazzy, I—”
“Don’t talk, not unless you’re going to tell me I give the best head you’ve ever had.” She kneels on the floor between my legs as she frees my cock from my pants. She holds it in both hands, staring. “Don’t say anything unless you’re going to tell me you’d play with the devil for a blow job from Jazzy. Though it’s the same thing.”
“Are you performing for an award or are you into me?” I can’t help the question. In spite of being turned on in the extreme, I feel like she’s done this all before with other men, that she’s playing a role now.
She laughs. “Same thing, unicorn boy. You’re my prize.” She licks her lips to a bright pink sheen and I want to drag her by the hair back onto the couch, to make her mine like a savage, to make sure she knows it’s me she’s playing with, to make her realize this is more than a game. But I know how wrong that is and wonder how she brings out this beast in me like no other woman I’ve ever been with.
“You are the sexiest woman I’ve ever…” I don’t even know how to end that sentence and I can’t think because she puts her lips on my head and flicks her tongue in the slit and then sucks like an Olympian. A feral groan, loud and long rips from my throat.
“Jesus Christ…” I have to bite down not to lose it on one stroke of her hands and one hard long suck as she takes me down her throat.
When she gags, I take her face in my shaky hands, my whole body shaking with the effort to keep my shit, and I lift her off me.
“Jazzy? You okay?”
Her eyes water but she smiles a sexy sinner smile, like a feline devil.
“Better than okay.”
Her hoarse voice cuts into me, and at the same time, the glitter in her eyes and Cheshire cat smile blast a ball of fire through my veins so when she lowers her mouth onto my cock again and sucks the shaft down her throat I don’t stop her, not even when she gags again. There’s nothing I can do but grit my teeth and groan at the sensation, the idea of her on me, giving me herself, whatever she has...

FREEZING THE PUCK - LASAIRIONA MCMASTER
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.
It doesn’t matter that Justin Ashe is seven feet tall and sexy as sin, or that I’ve had a crush on him for years. He cheated on my best friend in high school, and that makes him off limits.
I can’t be with him, but damn, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Girl Code says uteruses before duderuses.
He’s supposed to be my enemy, but the more I see of him, the blurrier the lines get.
Welcome to UCR hockey, where fierce AF heroines and hot as puck heroes find their hockey ever afters. If you pucking love college hockey romance series, you’ll adore UCR Raccoons hockey.
FREEZING THE PUCK is a delicious slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, ovaries before brovaries sports romance. This interconnected full-length stand-alone is the first in a new series with no cheating or cliffhangers and has a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
