Welcome to Litsy!

DELAY OF GAME was my first 2024 book purchase, and I didn‘t rush to read it because not too long after I bought it I bounced off Ari Baran‘s debut pretty durned hard. The character dynamics just weren‘t the sort I could connect with.

I was braced for a similar reaction to this one, but lo! The vibes are excellent! I read the first 15% ahead of a barbecue last night and wished I could duck out to read more. Now I‘m 1/3 in & going strong. #gaymay

A bit different from the previous Cait Nary romances. This one is told from the POV of the non-hockey player. It‘s super sweet.

Really enjoyed this book and loved the characters!

2 days off but one day late ~ all 3 books were borrowed from Michigan libraries. My boys loved the other books by Kate & Jim McMullan and this one about the Zamboni is just as fun. Hopefully the grandkids appreciate my extroverted reading style. 🤪

Happy release day for Betrothal or Breakaway, a best friends to lovers, single mom, marriage of convenience Hockey romance 🎉🏒💜
Loved it, review will follow!

Sweet m/m hockey romance.

My hold came in and I dropped all the other books I was reading and gobbled this one up. A delicious m/m romance full of all the feels and spice 🌶️. I‘m probably the only Canadian who doesn‘t watch hockey at all but I still enjoyed this sweet romance between the star player and the newbie goalie. It‘s fun that it‘s set in Calgary because I visit there every year. 👍👍💚🐉

Book 4 in the Hockey Ever after series delivers a lovely romance and lots hockey & hockey adjacent activity. I particularly enjoyed Dante‘s new position as the elder statesman of the team.

Sadly, I haven‘t prioritized reading this year and this is my first read, yes, in March, but I hope the rut is now over. Decent, but nothing remarkable. 3.5 stars for this long but quick read.
