Frostwolves Hockey

Offside Obsession

Rate this book
A limelight-loving hockey player with a viral video problem falls for a curvy PR consultant with a public past she keeps private. But when sparks and misfired texts fly, can newfound love survive when trust is shaken?

Maddox
"Work hard, play harder" is a motto that's taken me to the top of my game, both on and off the ice.

But after a spontaneous, not-so-private dance for some bachelorettes goes viral, my mantra finally lands me in big trouble.
Now I'm suspended from play and stuck under the supervision of a PR consultant tasked with spinning my every move into squeaky-clean social media posts.
Enter prim and proper Jocelyn Tan, the woman whose curves, choreography, and mysterious exit from the public eye has lived rent free in my head for years.
One look at her is all it takes to reignite my obsession, and now that she's in my life, I'm never letting her go.
Can I convince her I'm more than a headstrong hockey star and man enough to own my mistakes after one of them puts her back in the limelight?

Jocelyn
As a former content creator, I have personal experience with viral videos helping or hindering a career.

It's why I've shunned the spotlight and reinvented myself into a stick-straight, no-nonsense PR consultant with a plan.
But when I'm hired to revamp the image of a charismatic hockey player with an infuriating habit of disregarding the rules, I’m horrified to discover he knows exactly who I am.
And not only does Maddox Davies want answers- he wants me.
I won't mix business with pleasure again, especially with some pucker in possession of an attention-seeking wild streak.
Shutting him out should be easy, but I didn't count on him dismantling my defenses and waking dormant passions I thought I left behind.
When history repeats itself, can I trust Maddox to protect my reputation and my heart?

Want to see a rule-bending rebel hockey player with a huge heart fall first, and fall hard, for a rule-following dancing fixer who can't resist his charms? Then grab Offside Obsession and add this humorous, feel good, sweet and steamy romantic novella to your TBR today!

Brace yourself for a series that captures the excitement of hockey, the enchantment of love, and the undeniable connection between adventure and the human spirit.

Offside Obsession is part of the Frostwolves Hockey series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, BWWM, curvy girl gets her hockey player romance. Maddox is a hunky professional hockey player. Jocelyn is a curvy public relations specialist. She used to have her own fitness channel where she danced before she left social media. When Maddox lands himself in hot water after dancing at a Bachelorette party, Jocelyn is brought in to repair his image. But she doesn't expect to be recognized or to learn that Maddox is a fan of her dancing. These two are instantly drawn to each other, but Jocelyn is afraid to get hurt again. But Maddox is all in and not going anywhere. I just loved Maddox, his personality and love for life were infectious, and they way he worshipped Jocelyn was everything. They had insanely hot chemistry, and we got an amazing HEA after a bit of an unintended accident. And the bonus epilogue was hot 🔥 hot 🔥 hot 🔥!! I loved it so much.

A hockey player with heart.
Maddox is a star hockey player for the Frostwolves. He's always gotten a lot of attention, but the video that just went viral is not the kind of publicity he, or the team, needs. Definitely not family friendly. He's suspended for a few games, and he has to work with a PR consultant to fix his reputation. When he sees who it is, he's stunned.
Jocelyn knows a bit about fixing a reputation. She had to fix her own, after all. She's called in to work with Maddox. She thinks it's going to go well, until she realizes he knows who she is and he has every intention of pushing her buttons.
Several years before, Jocelyn had a video channel with her partner at the time. She loved what she did, but her partner used her, and it didn't end well. Between the situation itself and the online comments, the whole experience burned her, and she pretty much quit her online presence. She's only taking this job so she can finally pay her debts and get her passion project off the ground. She is not getting involved with a hockey player. No matter how charming he pretends to be. She's been lied to before.
Except she soon finds out it's not an act. Maddox is great with his young fans - he really connects with the kids. Not to mention the seniors at the retirement home they visit. He seems to be a genuinely good guy, and people just like him. And when he turns that charm on her, Jocelyn finds it harder and harder to resist.
I appreciated that this was a little deeper than I expected. It touched on the subject of mental health, and the isolation a lot of us experienced during the pandemic. During that time is when Jocelyn started her video channel, and she had no idea what effect she had on her viewers, including Maddox.
It just goes to show that we never know how we affect others, for good or not, so let's be a positive influence.
This was an enjoyable read. It flowed well, and was really quite funny. Jocelyn's cousin was perfect, helping her with the job, but making herself scarce when she thought Jocelyn needed to get out of her own way.
I'm looking forward to more of this series.

Mad Dog finds his Juicy T

Offside Obsession by Coco Elliot is part of the multi-author Frostwolves Hockey series. This story is about Maddox "Mad Dog" Davies and Jocelyn "Juicy T" Tan. Maddox was out one night having a bit too much fun and ended up doing something that went viral on the internet. The team has no option but to bench him for a week and bring in a PR consultant to help restore his reputation and make things go away. As the moment involved some dancing, well really stripping for a bachelorette party, Jocelyn decides to lean into the dancing part and sets up a number of community interactions that involve dancing. Maddox recognizes Jocelyn immediately from an online channel that he followed during the pandemic, where she danced with a partner under the name Juicy T. Maddox is head over heels for Jocelyn immediately and is determined to prove to her that he can be serious, but also bring out some fun and enjoyment in her. A week may not be long but for these two it is long enough for them to come together with perfect timing and steps. This book was a fun read and a lovely addition to the series.

Let the game begin... 

Maddox, a player for the Frostwolves hockey team, is in a viral video showing him dropping his pants during a strip tease performance at a bachelorette party at a club. Management is not happy! They've hired a PR consultant. 

Jocelyn was at one time a video content creator with an ex-boyfriend posting dance videos. A live video posted by him of them went viral and ruined her life, especially after he cleaned out their shared bank account. 

Now she does PR work. With the money she'll earn for working with Maddox, she'll have enough money to refurbish the community center where she first learned dancing. 

During the pandemic, Maddox had been addicted to the video dance routines posted by her and her now ex. He'd been a top-tier subscriber of Juicy T and her boyfriend, "What's his name", until all of a sudden the channel disappeared. 

He's head-over-heels for her. She'll never trust another man, especially after he...

Maddox Davies plays hockey for the Colorado Frostwolves. His motto is “Work hard, play harder”. A video of him dancing for a bachelorette party goes viral and gets him in big trouble. He has been benched for a week which means he will miss playing in three games. Maddox is not happy. Management also tells Maddox that he will be spending the week with a PR specialist.

Jocelyn Tan is the PR consultant hired by the Frostwolves to help Maddox with his PR problem. She is a former content creator, but she shut that down when she had her own awful experience with viral videos. She reinvented herself as a no-nonsense PR consultant and basically tried to bury her past. However, when Maddox meets Jocelyn, he knows who she used to be.

This couple turned out to be great and down to earth. I enjoyed their journey.

Maddox 'Mad Dog' Davies did a lap dance without his pants during a bachelorettes' party and got into trouble when a video online goes with his team's head office so they benched him plus bring in a PR aka public relations. Maddox begs to not be benched. Not even for a week! Jocelyn Tanner is the PR; Maddox knows her from an online dancing platform as 'Juicy T.' So Jocelyn sets out to repair the image of Mad Dog by having him at school working with kids and parents to encourage the healthy aspects of dancing for building muscle, exercising, and express yourself. Maddox tells that he enjoyed her dancing platform. There is an attraction. Will Jocelyn ever tell him all the details of why her online platform vanished suddenly? Maddox wants her in his life; but will she ever agree?.

While I don't get into the social media and video posting, I can understand how a viral video could tank the career of a celeb or sports figure. So it makes sense that there are entire careers spent doing nothing but image reshaping. What I loved about this story was the connection that Maddox had to Jocelyn from years earlier during the pandemic when she kept him entertained and not alone in his thoughts during isolation. Dance connected these two and it showed in their actions and on their faces when they moved together. I also loved the connections with the community center, the youth and the seniors and how they helped shape the story too.

I liked this FrostWolves story but I didn't really care for Maddox. Maddox or Mad Dog Maddox has gotten into trouble. At a bachelorette party he dances for the girls and the video went viral. He gets benched for a week and management brings in a consultant who will help clean up his image. Maddox is just too arrogant and full of his own self but he does redeem himself throughout the book. Joycelyn as his consultant is great, loved her character and she gave Maddox a run for his money. I did like the book, I'm enjoying the series and hoping there are more stories.

Maddox got himself in some hot water and in order to clean up the reputation he brought upon himself the HR dept hired someone to do just that.
Then the girl of his dreams that pulled him out of depression Juicy T. Real Name Jocelyn. He watched all her videos and never thought he'd actually see her in person. She thought her reputatuon was hurt when she was humilated on live video. Maddox proved she was worth it. She was there to help his reputation. She did that and in the meantime she saved him and he saved her as well. Perfect match made in heaven.

I really enjoyed this sweet and steamy novella. When Jocelyn, a PR agent hired to manage Maddox. He’s a hockey player who’d had a drunken night after a game that was recorded by many people. Jocelyn steps in to manage the debacle. She realizes he’s not the egocentric athlete she thought he was, she begins to see the real man inside. I recommend that you get the bonus epilogue also!

TROPES:
- enemies to lovers (her)
- professional 🏒🥅 player
- she is a 💃🏻 and PR agent
- he falls first
- he shows love with acts of service 😍

Maddox is a pro ice hockey star that did something that led to a video being released and going viral overnight.
Jocelyn has been brought in by the Frostwolves to help Maddox clean up his act or at least mitigate the effects from the viral video. Jocelyn has secrets of her own.
Hockey romance, dance, sweet, sexy, HEA.
I would recommend this book.

A huge thank you to Coco Elliot and Booksprout for providing me with an eARC book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

He meant for it to be harmless fun, only crashing a bachelorette party and losing his pants definitely wasn’t good for his brand when the video went viral. When he’s benched and the team brings in a ‘fixer’ to restore his image things get even hotter. The woman in question is a former influencer he’d all but worshipped during the covid lockdown. Now that she’s a real person his online obsession becomes all too real and he’s got to break all of the rules to win her heart no matter what the consequences.

The story follows Maddox Davies, a charismatic hockey player with a penchant for getting into trouble, and Jocelyn Tan, a curvy PR consultant with a mysterious past. When Maddox's impromptu dance video goes viral, he's suspended from play and assigned a PR consultant to clean up his image. Enter Jocelyn, who has a history of her own that she'd rather keep private.

As they work together, sparks fly, and Maddox's obsession with Jocelyn grows.

Another Frostwolves masterpiece. This highly entertaining story involves Mad Dog Maddox and Juicy T Jocelyn Tan. Maddox has been a fan of Jocelyn's for a long time and is surprised when she is brought in to do damage control on his reputeation. She has a week to fix things. How they find their HEA is a must-read page-turner.

The author has given us a heartwarming story that pulls us into the lives of Maddox/Mad Dog and Jocelyn/Juicy T. Hired to clean up his image, Jocelyn is hired by the Frostwolves Hockey Team, not realizing that Maddox knows who she truly is. The story keeps us turning the pages connection, insecurities, trust issues and steam.

This was a sweet quick read. It had everything you look for in a hockey romance! Maddox was sweet and did everything to prove he could be trusted by Jocelyn. This book was well written and didn't feel rushed at all. The perfect amount of humor and sexual tension to drive you wild, I giggle recommend.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It was inspirational in how they helped the kids I liked how Jocelyn unknowingly helped Maddox and then again when he made a mistake. She helps redeem his image and during the time fall in love. It was great how she had the courage to repeat history but with a much better result.

Loved the banter from Maddox and Jocelyn as these two just bounce off of each other. Each showing their moves with dance which speaks to them both. Enjoyed how Maddox could be serious when it matters and a fantastic grand gesture.
