About this listen
Reid doesn’t utter a word when he stops within two feet of me, even taller and more intimidating than yesterday because I think being on the ice is his superpower, and he looks like he can do anything on it.
My life takes an unexpected turn when I meet Reid "The Reaper" Pierce- the grumpy enforcer for the New Brunswick Wolverines.
When the gorgeous hockey bad boy is slapped with a fifteen-game suspension, he is forced to rebuild his tarnished image.
Reid reluctantly becomes an assistant coach for a youth hockey team.
A challenge, to say the least, for the broody, alpha left winger, given his lack of kid-friendly skills.
Enter me: Hollyn Mayfield.
I'm sunshine with a dash of nerdiness and a touch of self-consciousness.
I find myself thrust into the role of the other assistant coach.
My expertise? Mostly handing out juice boxes and snacks to kids during practice.
An unlikely duo, we strike a deal.
I'll help him ease up on the kids, reducing post-practice tears and parent complaints.
In return, he'll assist me in scoring a date with my crush, the head coach Weston Higgins.
Weston, as Reid points out, is a B-class wannabe.
Despite this, I remain determined to snag that date.
Reid agrees to teach me about hockey, hoping it will help me connect with Weston.
Along the way, though, he might want to keep me with his jersey number on my back.
Falling for the Pucking Grump is a Grumpy/Sunshine, Guy Falls First, Hockey Romance. This is Book 1 in the standalone series New Brunswick Wolverines.

Enter Judson "Killer" Wells, a hot-headed right-winger from our rival team—the New Brunswick Wolverines.

She's the definition of don’t even think about it. Look up off-limits in the dictionary, and not only is her name there—it’s underlined, bolded, and signed by her dad. And yet, here I am. Kissing my coach’s daughter against a wall where anyone could see us. Easily the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. Starting a fight on the ice? Sure. Taking a slapshot to the ribs and playing through it? Not my brightest moment. But this? It’s the kind of mistake that could end me. And the craziest part? I’d do it again. Because if Sophie Novak is a mistake… She’s the only one I ever want to make.

He's known as Father Anton to his teammates - the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL's Chicago Blaze has a reputation for...not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov's on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: There is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She's his teammate's wife, after all.

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

It started innocently enough with a harmless inquiry about a cute guy at a coffee shop. The goal was to get back into the romance game. The search turned into a social media frenzy. #DesperatelySeekingDane was not available. Talk about a buzzkill. Just when I thought things couldn't become more dramatic, a TV production company reached out to me as a last-minute contestant in a dating contest because of my five minutes of online fame. It was an instant yes because one of the three bachelors was a major movie star and my lifelong crush.

I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.
