A STEAMY NEW HOT ICE NOVEL!

*Book 8 in this popular hockey romance series is reverse harem, spicy, features The Vipers (of course) and is full of action on and off the ice!


ABOUT

In a heartbeat I’ve gone from strutting my stuff on the runway to being a runaway bride…and I’ve run straight into the arms of four sexy hockey players who are determined to rescue me from the big bad world.

I’m a high-flying career woman. I’m at the top of my game. I decide my price, and believe me, I know my worth. But when my fiancé and best friend do the dirty on me, I startle like a deer and take off at breakneck speed in my Westwood dress and vintage veil.

Which is where The Vipers come in. They find me planning my next move, hiding out and nursing my tattered emotions.

There’s sexy French player Eduardo Dubois, as charming as he is seductive. Brooding Dylan Sanders who has kinks and skills I’d never even thought of. And Ben and Theo Evans, Canadian brothers who have scars to be uncovered before there’s any undressing.

But can we shake the global interest in us? We’re all famous. We’re all big news. And we’re all together…as in really together. Everyone wants a piece of us when we just want a piece of each other.

The paparazzi are relentless, and gossip spreads like wildfire. Can we keep our cool? Can we keep our secrets? And will jealousy and deceit threaten to ruin everything on and off the ice?

Pre-order your copy today, and then dive into the other books in the series while you wait for release day. All books are fine as standalone reads though full of cameos from your favorite HOT ICE characters.

I have picked up some real doozies lately. After struggling to finish my last two reads, I gave myself permission to quit at 66%. There’s some heat in here, but I just can’t with the writing itself.
I swear I’ve tried her books previously, but I have none on my shelf so now I just don’t know. I have no idea why I had this one flagged to read the second it came out, beyond sounding like my sort of story. But I did not enjoy her writing style. It’s one of those very simplistic, heavy on the telling types of narrative, and feels quite clunky whenever anyone speaks. It just lacks that natural rhythm that allows you to fall into a story.
You can definitely jump in and read this one as a standalone. It’s obvious the other characters have had previous books, but doesn’t mention a bunch of past events and reminisce on things that are completely foreign as a new reader to the series.

Hot, hot hockey!

Wow! I love this book so much. It's the eighth book in an amazing, contemporary, hockey romance series. I recommend reading them all in sequence, but you don't have to. It helps with the cameo appearances of the other Vipers and their paramours from the other stories. This is the first (and hopefully not the only) why choose, MFMM, story.

Pippa is a fascinating main character. She's a British supermodel who hops on the bus to Pound Town, USA. I thoroughly enjoyed her runaway bride beginning, as it is a big part of her character arc. It's nice to see another career oriented FMC. This creates a good amount of the tension in the plot. The paparazzi are an even bigger problem than her jilted groom. He's a piece of work, too!

The guys are pretty well fleshed out, too. There's Eduardo, who is French (and I think he has some African ancestry) and very popular with the rink bunnies. Then there's the brothers, Theo and Ben. They're both golden-retriever types, and I want to hug them. And Dylan - the kinky one - makes things super hot. Whew!

Other tropey goodness includes: friends to lovers, forced proximity, running from love, vacation romance, and celebrity romance.

Some of my favorite things: the buttons on the wedding dress, Pippa's fast metabolism, Dylan's date, the Italian restaurant, and the giraffes.

I'm excited to read the bonus materials that you can access via hyperlinks at the end of the book.

Been a while since we have had the pleasure of reading a Vipers book, and it was worth the wait.

Finding out her fiancé is a rat just as he is about the walk up the aisle was not on Pippa’s radar. Was making that split second decision rash?

Needing a way to get to an airport she hides away on a coach and ends up heading in a completely different direction.

A fun, sexy read, even the ice hockey game was well written. 😀

Great story!!

I love a good reverse harem story. These 4 guys have never shared together before, only the 2 brothers have, but they all decide they are OK to share Pippa. She is the one for them.
They went through a lot, but they found love in each other.
It's such a good series.

Amazing RH story

This one was a bit different than other RH that I have read. She was more so openly dating and they were just cool with it. In the end we get our group scene, but then the story ends. I would’ve gladly read another 200 pages of their stories and seeing more one on one scenes. Theo was my fav too!

Should be longer

The ending left me unsatisfied. We didn’t get much of the L word, so is it a HFN? The angry rink bunny subplot should have been explored more.

Pucking The Team (Hot Ice #8) is an entertaining read. The RH storyline is engaging, sooo spicy and kept me well entertained; the characters too are fantastic! I love the authors’ writing style, whether it’s steamy scenes, drama or tender moments, they’re always written well and perfectly convey the emotions being felt.
