Novella Review: To Enchant an Icy Earl

This is the first book historical romance by Catherine Gayle that I read

I first noticed the title. After reading the blurb I decided to read the book.

Because of the title and the blurb I expected the earl to be more of a brooding character.

However, that didn't stop me from enjoying the story.

Short Review: Home Ice

Until now the main male characters in the series have been players. The is the coach's story. This was a welcomed surprise.

 In Home Ice, the reader sees a side of "Bergy" that the players don't get to see.

 In contrast to the previous books in the series, there was little hockey action. However, it was just as enjoyable as the other books.

 Rating: 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃

Review: In the Zone

Usually fans are unaware of the demons that professional athletes deal with in their private lives. With Keith, his demon was the belief that he was to blame for his brother's death.

As a hockey fan, I can appreciate the moments Keith spends with the team.

Review: Comeback

I started reading the Portland Storm series with Light the Lamp. Niklas Ericsson is a recovering addict who worked through and with The Light the Lamp foundation.

-poignant

This was definitely one word that came to my mind while reading this book. It had a happy ending, but Nicky had to deal with a lot to get that happy ending.

Review: Holiday Hat Trick

In hockey, a hat trick is three goals (in one game) from the same player.

In the Portland Storm series, the term is used in life.
Mitch Quincey has "three goals" he would like to score during the Christmas break. However, none of the goals have anything to do with hockey.

As a novella, is book is a quick read or listen. This is always a plus with me.

Holiday Hat Trick is listed as 4.5 in the series about a fictional hockey team. The Storm are a team that I am a fan of since reading Light the Lamp.

Review: Double Major

I read one other book that the story was told by multiple charaters. I really enjoyed that book. Double Major is told by multiple charaters as well. In fact, it was told by the people. Those people are Portland Storm player and their wives or girlfriends.


I have loved reading about the lives of these hockey players from the previous five books. To have them all in the sixth, made it that more enjoyable. I could actually picture myself being that the double wedding that took place.

I am looking forward to Keith and Brianna's story.

Review: Smoke Signals

Razor is a former Portland Storm hockey player taken by the Tulsa Thunderbirds in the draft. While in Vegas, he meets Viktoriya. The two get married so that she can stay in the country.

Other than Razor and Viktoriya, there were two other characters that I found to be likable. First was Tallie that befriended "Tori" (as Razor called her). Than there was his mother that defended Tori against the owner's wife.

More than once, Tori either called or refered to Razor as a good man. While Razor denied being a good man, I agreed with Tori.

These are just a couple of reasons why I chose the rating of five out of five.
