Name That Character Contest!

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello !

Boy am I glad to have you!

Once again, I'll need to rely on your ingenuity, and that of all of our romance reading friends. Your generosity and good old-fashioned sense of fun always helps me with a naming my characters.

(Plus there's a prize)

At the moment, my work-in-progress, Two Pucks, is riddled with XX as the stand-in for the heroine's name. That's a lot of nonsense on the page, especially since she's one of the two stars of the show.

It's wicked annoying.

Try picturing a young woman whose name is XX.

Tough, right? I keep envisioning a comic book villain a la X-Men. It's hard to truly get into a character's head when you have to keep referring to her as XX (and you have to keep shoving aside that comic book character vision).

So I would love your help right away!

Enter the Name That Character Contest and help me name the heroine in Two Pucks. Details below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I apologize that I'm a day late with my newsletter this week.

Tough weekend!

I should have been in Philly (Philadelphia, PA) with a group of friends visiting one of our besties. We planned the trip for the weekend, but I've been under the weather and stayed home ➜➜➜➜

I'm not complaining though. Sitting home watching sports and stupid old movies with H wasn't a bad thing at all. It was . He cooked dinner for me and always makes me laugh. ❤️

Meanwhile, our Christmas decorations are finally down. Yes, it did take this long to undecorated and put everything away. Only nine days past schedule. No excuse--unless laziness counts?❤️

My diet/exercise, you ask?

Yes, I'm now including exercise because you can't get into shape or healthy without both a good diet and exercise. #HardTruth.

(I did NOT enjoy saying that!)

On the up side, I made it to chair Yoga last week and I didn't fall out of the chair--though I had a close call. Seriously, it was fun and did me some good. One of my friends is teaching the class and she's in wicked good shape. She's very annoying inspirational. (kidding)

Next week... The Gym here I come!

How about you--Do you try to stay active somehow?

My favorite review of the week!

"Omg I think Chase is absolutely swoony and sexy all in one! ...I loved every second of this book. I wish there was more because I didn’t want it to end! Stephanie really did a fabulous job yet again. She always pulls me into the stories she writes, into the lives of her characters. I can’t wait for the next one!"

🔥🔥Today's Sizzling Snippet 🔥🔥

Some Girls Like It Cold - a hockey rom-com set

from The Puck Bunny

Sara

I let out a laugh and push off of the couch. Slipping his hand from between my thighs, I lead him to the bedroom—to Billie Mae’s bedroom. 

Crap. I wonder how much time we have before she comes home.

“What time is it?” I stop suddenly at her bedroom door.

“Is it important?” He nuzzles my neck while his hands roam up and down my body, knocking the panic from me better than two shots of tequila. Why do I care about the time?

“No.” 

I kick the door closed behind us as he sweeps me up in those magnificently muscled arms, making me want to squeeze them. 

So I do. 

He chuckles as he carries me the few steps to the bed, then lowers me to the mattress.

He takes off his clothes and I watch him. He’s big and powerful and exactly like I imagined in my fantasies. Except he’s real and nice and decent and caring and polite. All those things I want in a forever guy. I almost forget to take my clothes off. But after I get my tights halfway down, I can’t take the throbbing anymore...

Read the rest now...

Sabien

“It’s not exactly the proposal I’ve always dreamed of, but homeless dogwalkers can’t afford to be too choosey,” she says.

I take a deep relieved breath. “I’ll have my lawyer write up a contract.”

“Have him include a clause that says we’re not allowed to sleep together.”

“You’re no fun.”

“I’m no lollipop girl.”

“No—of course not. I didn’t mean—”

“Of course you didn’t. But let’s include it in the contract anyway. It’ll make me feel better so I can face my mother with a clear conscience when I have to go back and live at home again after this is all over.”

Tricky Puck - a fake fiancee hockey rom-com

I'd never heard of a real life matchmaker before, but grandma insists on introducing me to one and makes sure it's really real when she tells me I'm her matchmaker's new client...

Normally, I'd do anything for grandma, but this is a big ask.

I'm not ready to settle down. Not even close. I'm only twenty-six and a rising star in the NHL - otherwise known as a chick-magnet.

After all the hard work and focus I've put in to get this far, I've barely begun to have fun. No way am I going along with the matchmaking plan.

Sure.

Fast forward to when my attitude changes real fast after grandma informs me her clock is ticking and her time's almost up.

And her dying wish is to see me settled down with a nice young woman.

Shit.

She goes on about babies, but my mind is spinning with the knowledge that I have no choice. I need to go along with this matchmaking deal for grandma.

Unless I can come up with a way to give her the comfort she wants, the illusion that I'm settled down--without actually settling down...
