Las Vegas Vipers Box Set
Top 100 bestselling sports romances now combined! Fall in love with the Las Vegas Vipers hockey team with the first three full-length novels and one novella from this series
Garrett and Lizzie have been friends for years, but one night of passion, and one huge surprise a few short months later changes everything. Will they risk their friendship for the promise of something more? And how does it all work when Garrett’s been traded to a hockey team half a country away…
Winning the hockey championship cup should have been exhilarating. For Joey Taylor, it paled in comparison to waking up next to his best friend’s little sister, only to find out they’re now married. Take a trip of a lifetime with Joey and Gabby as they navigate their families, a trip across the country, and figuring out if they can make their marriage-mistake into something more…
Dominick didn’t mean to end himself up in jail… or be forced to do community service as penance, but these kinds of things are common due to the family he grew up in. Which explains why he’s the ultimate hard-shelled, grumpy hockey player who spends more time in the sin bin than on the ice. Until he’s forced to coach a youth hockey league and can’t seem to peal himself away from the sweetness of one of the mothers. She’s everything he’s not, and far too good for him. But when she needs rescuing, it’s Dominick that’s there to save her… and then everything between this grumpy hockey player and single mom changes…

Wow! I absolutely loved this boxset. Amazing characters and wonderful plots. Very beautifully written and easy to read.
This boxset includes Final Shot, prequel to the Las Vegas Vipers Series, Game Changer, Dream Maker and Rule Breaker.
Every one of these books have everything you would want in a book. Banter, all the spice, the right amount of drama and plot twists. I loved every single book in this boxset and I would read it again just to experience all the feelings again.
Overall I loved these books very much. If you’re looking for a hockey, best friends to lovers, accidental pregnancy, best friend/teammate’s sister, Vegas wedding, single mom romances then you’re going to love it.

The 𝐋𝐚𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐱 𝐒𝐞𝐭 by Stacey Lynn offers an amazing hockey romance reading experience that covers many tropes with fantastic world building and compelling characters! Don’t miss these great stories!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶.5
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐭 is a novella by Stacey Lynn that is the perfect setup for the Las Vegas Vipers Series. While it focuses on setting up Lizzie and Garrett’s story, it also introduces the other teammates and important characters! It’s clear that the banter and camaraderie will play a key role throughout.
𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 is the 1st book in the Las Vegas Vipers series by Stacey Lynn, featuring a hot, best friends to lovers romance for Garrett and Lizzie. They have plenty of spicy chemistry, if they could just get their timing right. Perhaps an accidental pregnancy can help them sort their issues. I loved the banter, the friendships, and the found family bond. There’s one scene, in particular, where the team really pulls together, that brought tears to my eyes!
𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 is the 2nd book in the series by Stacey Lynn, featuring a drunken Vegas wedding turned marriage of convenience for Gabby and Joey. Gabby and Joey have both been unlucky in love, so it was quite a shock when they woke up hungover and married. But, maybe the universe knew what it was doing, because they were forced to work together and get to know one another to protect their reputations. I loved the connection they had, and watching it evolve was my pleasure. With every book, the character development gets better and better. The emotions are authentic, and the chemistry is blazing!!🔥
𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 is the 3rd book in the series, featuring a riveting single mom hockey romance for Dominick and Holly. When the grumpy hockey player finds himself coaching a bunch of 10 year-olds as penance, he’s put in the path of young Ben and his sweet mom, Holly. I loved watching both of them work their way past Dominick’s defenses, as both Dom and Holly process some emotional baggage. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, with a little outside drama, and a ton of team support and amazing characters!
I received an ARC for free, and am leaving my review voluntarily.

This box set has the first three books in this series and this series is flipping hot!
In Game Changer, Garrett and Lizzie open this series with their friends to lovers romance. These two have been friends for years, been through everything together. And one weekend, Garrett admits his feelings and how he wants more and that leads to a very steamy night together and a few weeks later a pregnancy.
The way these two navigate everything was so great! Garrett’s love for Lizzie is selfless and Lizzie really makes up for her earlier behavior.
Dream Maker, Joey and Gabby end up married after a wild night in Vegas. The press is eating it up, which leads to them staying in the marriage to keep up appearances. I loved how Joey supported her dreams and he was such a sweetheart.
One of my favorites, Rule Breaker, has Dominick coaching a youth hockey team after an incident lands him in jail (at the end of Dream Maker). He meets Holly, the mother of one of the kids on the team, and Dominick falls hard.

Das Las Vegas Vipers Box Set enthält die Bände 1-3 sowie Band 0.5, eine kleine Novella welche die Vorgeschichte zu Band 1 bildet. Hier kommt Part 1 meiner Rezensionen.
Band 0.5 - 𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕊𝕙𝕠𝕥
Lizzie und Garrett haben sich auf dem College angefreundet, wurden beste Freunde und dann irgendwann mehr. Doch eine Nacht, ein Missverständnis auf beiden Seiten hat für jahrelange Funkstille gesorgt. Jetzt treffen sie sich bei Freunden wieder und die Gefühle sind so stark wie eh und je, aber auch diesmal kann es nicht klappen - oder?
Eigentlich lese ich Novellas wirklich super selten. Aber da sie hier Teil des Box Sets war habe ich sie natürlich gelesen und fand, dass es gut geholfen hat die Vergangenheit von Lizzie und Garrett zu verstehen, aber auch ihre Dynamik kennenzulernen. Und ich muss sagen, dass ich so eine “Kurzgeschichte” als Einstieg super nett finde. Kurze Kapitel, wenige Kapitel, aber trotzdem wird alles Wichtige vermittelt und die eigentliche Geschichte wird nicht mit diesen zusätzlichen Informationen aufgebläht.
Band 1 - 𝔾𝕒𝕞𝕖 ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕣
Nach einer erneuten Nacht verschwindet diesmal Lizzie und sie und Garrett gehen wieder getrennte Wege. Doch dann stellt Lizzie fest, dass sie schwanger ist. Sie springt über ihren Schatten und ihre Ängste und macht sich auf es Garrett zu sagen. Ob er sich für sie und das Baby entscheidet?
Game Changer verfolgt dann tiefergehend die Geschichte von Lizzie und Garrett gespickt mit einer Schwangerschaft und weiteren Missverständnisse. Lizzie und Garrett lernen miteinander zu kommunizieren und dafür gibt es ganz viel Applaus von mir. Dazu lernt man endlich das Team der Vipers kennen und ich persönlich freue mich schon jetzt auf so viele Geschichten der Jungs. Es gibt Spannung, überraschende Wendungen und Herzschlag-Momente in denen man so sehr mit den beiden mitfiebert. Eigentlich bin ich so gar nicht der Typ für friends to lovers, aber Garrett und Lizzie waren perfekt und wundervoll und ich konnte ihre Geschichte nicht aus den Händen legen.
Band 2 - 𝔻𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕞 𝕄𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣
Gabby und Joey erleben eine Nacht die alles verändert und wachen miteinander auf. Verheiratet. Joey - noch nicht lange geschieden und auf sein Image und das des Teams bedacht - und Gabby - der man nachsagt immer erst zu handeln und dann zu denken. Aber Joey ist fest entschlossen Gabby davon zu überzeugen, dass diese Ehe eine gute Idee war und sie verheiratet bleiben sollten.
Dream Maker schließt direkt an die Geschehnisse von Band 1 an und spielt nach dem Super Bowl. Ich mochte Joey von Anfang an und war super gespannt auf seine Geschichte und er hat mich nicht enttäuscht. Joey ist nicht nur ein super Book Boyfriend, er ist auch einer der tollsten Charaktere deren Geschichte ich je lesen durfte. Little Crush here. 😍 Gabby ist ein gutes Gegenstück und auch ein wahnsinnig tiefgründiger Charakter und ich fand es klasse sie genauer kennenlernen zu können, weil sie bisher immer sehr einseitig dargestellt wurde. Die Liebesgeschichte entwickelt sich wundervoll und ich würde ihre Reise gerne selbst machen jetzt - vor allem weil ich einige Stopps die die beiden machen bereits gesehen habe. Unser Lieblingsteam ist ebenfalls wieder am Start und endlich lernen wir auch Dom ein bisschen besser kennen und das Ende macht mega Laune auf seine Geschichte. ❤️
Band 3 - ℝ𝕦𝕝𝕖 𝔹𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣
Dominick gerät mit dem Gesetz aneinander und muss daher Sozialstunden ableisten. Sein Team hat entschieden: Er muss ein Kinder-Hockey-Team coachen. Für den sozial-scheuen Dominick natürlich der Horror. Doch dann begegnet er Bens Mom Holly und auf einmal wird Dom zutraulicher. Doch er kämpft immer noch mit dem was er mit aller Verzweiflung mit sich selbst ausmachen muss.
Auch Rule Breaker schließt direkt an die Geschehnisse vom vorherigen Teil an und der Übergang zum nächsten Vipers Spieler ist nahtlos. Ich war super gespannt auf Dom und Fun Fact: Den Teil habe ich bereits vor einem Jahr gelesen, aber ich habe Doms Geschichte erneut so sehr genossen. Ich liebe die Mischung aus der liebevollen und toughen Holly deren alles erstrahlendes Lächeln ich beim Lesen förmlich vor mir sehen konnte und dem verschlossenen Dom den ich sofort ins Herz geschlossen habe und für den mein Herz immer mehr gebrochen ist je mehr man über ihn erfahren hat. Dazu Ben mit einfach den klassischen Sprüchen eines 10-Jährigen der mich herzhaft zum Lachen gebracht hat. Rule Breaker liefert einfach ab: eine tolles Liebesgeschichte mit grandiosen Hauptcharakteren, ein Team das mehr Familie als Team ist, tolle Nebencharaktere, einen Nebencharakter den man einfach nur verprügeln will und dazu jede Menge Spannung.
Fazit: Das Box-Set ist einfach genial. Da die Geschichten alle so nahtlos ineinander überfließen kann man direkt weiterlesen und muss nicht erst mühsam das nächste Buch als E-Book kaufen oder gar auf das Taschenbuch warten. Und man hat direkt 3 seiner liebsten Vipers-Spieler in einer Box. 😍

Final Shot:
Final Shot is the prequel to the Las Vegas Vipers Series and while I loved meeting these characters before the start of the series, I have to say it was heartbreaking. Lizzie and Garrett have been best friends for years, before they went their separate ways because of a misunderstanding, and they are both miserable. It ends on a cliffhanger leaving you wanting more.
Game Changer:
Garrett and Lizzie met in college and became best friends with sometimes benefits. After a night together at Christmas, Lizzie is pregnant. She feels like she waited too long to tell him, and she thought he was involved with someone else. When Garrett comes with the Vipers to Chicago, she knows she has to go talk to him no matter how scared she is.
Garrett has been trying to let Lizzie go, since she left after their night together without a word. He loves her more than anything but doesn't know how she feels. When she comes to meet him at his hotel, he was not expecting to hear that she was pregnant. This news changes everything for him, it’s what he has always wanted and with the girl of his dreams. Will they be able to work through everything and
The characters were well written, realistic, and you could feel the emotions with the characters. The chemistry between these two sizzles right off the page, and it’s so obvious to see no matter how hard they try to hide how they feel from one another. Their relationship has been built on trust and friendship which is evident in their romantic relationship because of how well they know one another. I am happy I gave this book a chance and really enjoyed Garrett and Lizzie's story.
Dream Maker:
Joey Taylor just won the Stanley Cup with his team the Las Vegas Vipers, when they go out to celebrate, he asks his teammates sister, Gabby, if she would like to go. After a scare a few weeks prior, they had started growing closer and have a crush. When they wake up the next morning with a killer hangover and new jewelry, they decide to stay married and try to make it work.
Joey has a big heart, and he is a good man. When he does something, he doesn’t make rash decisions and knows that if he did something out of character for him there must be a reason. Gabby is always there for the people she cares about, and Joey is no different. If he asks her for something she doesn’t hesitate. These two characters together are sweet, with a few twists but who doesn’t have ups and downs in relationships. I loved how he waited for her to make her decision and stood by her even though he was hurting. Joey and Gabby’s story has well written characters and has relatable and realistic plot lines. I highly recommend this story.
Rule Breaker:
Dominick is a professional hockey player and hasn’t been that social with his teammates. We did see that start to change when Gabby came into his life in Dream Maker. Dominick tends to keep to himself because his personal life is a mess, and he doesn’t want his teammates or the public to know. When he is arrested at the end of the previous book, the media of course got it all wrong, and he was sentenced to community service and coaching a kids hockey league. He figured he was going to hate it, but he met a sweet 10-year-old boy who was constantly put down by his father and his sweet mother Holly.
Holly and Dominick are great together and have chemistry that is constantly growing as they get to know each other. I loved how Holly helped to heal Dominick and help him to become closer to his teammates. Rule Breaker is a great fast read, with emotional topics that may require some tissues, and I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series.

The *Las Vegas Vipers* box set was a truly enjoyable ARC read! This series hit on so many favorite tropes and managed to keep things fresh, fun, and unexpectedly deep in some places. Whether it's friends-with-benefits, “one-bed” setups, “Drunk Married in Vegas,” or a grumpy MMC who’s soft only for his FMC, this series knows how to deliver classic romance with a unique twist. Each book brings its own vibe but has that perfect balance of steam and emotional depth that keeps you invested from start to finish.
Starting with the spicy prequel novella, this short, lighthearted read sets the tone for the series. It’s an enjoyable friends-with-benefits dynamic with just enough plot to get a feel for the characters, plus a classic “one-bed” moment to keep things interesting. From there, each book adds layers, showing us different sides of love, growth, and the challenges that make each character’s journey so satisfying.
One of the highlights of the series is how it handles classic romance tropes. Take Garrett and Lizzie’s friends-to-lovers journey: their chemistry is undeniable, and Garrett is exactly the kind of partner you’d want in a complicated situation. The tension between them is amplified by their refusal to communicate fully, which can be a little frustrating, but adds realism to their story. It also gives us a moment to pause with the miscarriage scare, adding a layer of sensitivity to their journey.
Joey and Gabby’s story brings in the “Drunk Married in Vegas” trope, but with a refreshingly natural twist. Their relationship feels genuine, and the road trip aspect adds an extra layer of charm, giving the book a “cross-country adventure” feel that makes it stand out. However, the subplot with Gabby’s family—especially her inconsistent mother and overprotective brother, Garrett—adds some frustration. Yet, Joey’s character shines through, making you root for his happy ending.
And then there’s Dominick and Holly—by far my favorite couple in the series. Dom’s grumpy exterior hiding his soft side for Holly is everything you could want in a romance. Holly, as an older FMC, feels incredibly relatable and grounded, bringing a refreshing sense of maturity to the story. The lack of third-act breakup and unnecessary drama in their story allows for a more genuine connection, and Dom’s protective nature only adds to the swoon factor. His family dynamics (hello, psycho mom!) bring a dash of chaos, but it’s all in good fun, and the story remains focused on Dom and Holly relationship.
Overall, this box set delivers a fun, steamy, and emotionally satisfying series that’s perfect for romance fans who love a mix of classic and refreshing storylines. With an overall rating of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and spice level of 🌶️🌶️.5, the *Las Vegas Vipers* books will satisfy your romance cravings and keep you hooked till the last page!

This collection is amazing! These stories hit the heart and pulled me into their world with strong characters, sweet stories, spice, and so much more. We get to see the softer side of these intense athletes, what makes them tick, and the amazing women that bring out the best in them. I loved everything about these books!
Final Shot
Oh Lizzie and Garrett! I loved this introduction to their deep friendship, and those feelings that have caused some waves in their relationship. They are very lovable characters, and my heart twisted for them both as they have navigated the break in that friendship and having to spend time together we get to see how that plays out for them. I am ready to dive into more of their story!
Game Changer
I really loved Lizzie and Garrett's story. They've been friends for years, best friends, throw in some certain benefits and things just build from there. What I really loved is that they have that connection already, with that history they just click as their story progresses. Garrett is full of heart and very lovable. They are both strong characters, with characters around them that I'm looking forward to learning more about. I was able to be pulled in, to root for them, and take that journey with them. It's a great start to this series!
Dream Maker
Loved this! The story completely pulled me in and I loved the connection between Joey and Gabby. They have an organic growth throughout the book. There's sweetness, getting to know one another, a push and pull that keeps things spicy. The characters have heart, I liked them each from the start and loved the friends and family around them. I'm looking forward to Dom's story and will be diving into the other books in this series!
Rule Breaker
Loved it! I was really looking forward to Dominick's story and I was not disappointed. There's so much to learn about this moody hockey star and what makes him tick. He and Holly have a great spark and that protectiveness comes out in him. He's great with her son, Ben, and doing what needs to be done. It's a great story that hit on some very emotional subjects, things in his past, his family and why he is who he is. My heart twisted at times, wiped a tear or three but I could not put it down. Another great read in this series!

Book Review: The Vegas Vipers Box Set by: Stacey Lynn
Stacey Lynn is a new author for me and I’ve been really into hockey lately so when I saw this box set of three books I jumped at it! It has all the check marks for all of my boxes in a hockey romance! The plots, the characters you just grow to love and the story telling is phenomenal!
Final Shot is a novella and it masterfully sets up the series it’s focused mainly on Lizzie and Garrett but you also get intros to the other players and important characters. I really loved their group and their back and forth banter and sense of closeness.
The first book is Game Changer it’s one of my favorite tropes best friends to lovers. It’s Lizzie and Garrett’s story. They have wonderful banter and off the charts chemistry and finally another favorite trope of mine accidentally pregnant. There are so many great moments of steam, spice, but also sweet moments that will have you tearing up. This book is rich with friendship and found family another must for me!
The second book is Dream Maker and this one was so good it’s a drunken wedding to marriage of convenience and it’s about Gabby and Joey. These two unlucky in love people soon have to work together to keep their relationship and good names in tact. I loved the slow and genuinely sweet way that these two get to know each and grow together. But the banter and the deep connection and chemistry lead to some steamy spicy moments that enhanced and added to the story. I really loved that in a book so it was the chefs kiss on this one!
And finally Rule Braker was book three in this series and it’s a single mom trope loved it!!! It’s the story of Holly and Dominick. He is a perfect grump and then pairing him with a bunch of ten year olds is just splendid!!! This one was so sweet with Ben and Holly and then the emotional trauma they work through. You can feel the connection and then the whole team rallying around them. The sweet balance of emotions and spice was so good in this last book. I just loved all the characters and how they are all a tight unit. They are a wonderful group of characters!

*This is an ARC review
Final Shot - 2.3⭐
If your looking for a quick, easy read this book will be for you. However if you want a book with great character development it won’t. The story felt and little rushed and I wasn’t a fan of how the story was introduced, there was no context. For exemple how did they met (ok trought college but that’s literally the only thing we know) how did they fell in love (again there wasn’t much context). Also I don’t really like the miscommunication trope and it fell so childhish, I guess. Like you are best friends but you can’t communicate??? I don’t know, it’s suppose to be a novella to introduced to the world and character and it didn’t. But the novella end’s with a cliffhanger, wich made it so much more interesting, I think the characters and the story have a big potential.
Game Changer - 2.8⭐
Again if your are looking for an easy read this book will be for you. Also, THERE WAS COMUNICATION IN THIS ONE! And there wasn’t unnecessary drama, at leat not that much. But like the last one, the story started out of nowhere, it help with the context of the novella but still. The characters where great, the side characters too and I’m really curious for the rest.
Dream Maker - 3⭐
I liked this one, I really liked. Thank you again for the comunication, we all loved it when there is no miscomunication (at least I do). Really liked the characters, Gabby is the sweetest I really liked her.
Rule Breaker - 3.3⭐
I really liked this one, I liked the characters and the chemistry. Love the single parent trope, and I loved Ben he is such a sweet character. I also really liked that we had a pretty good backgroung on Dominic’s background, no necessary drama it was a perfect balance. It is a really easy read, just to give an example I read this first 4 books in 5 days.
Thank you so much Valentine PR/and the author for the advance copy❤️

I have read a couple of other books by Stacey Lynn and have really enjoyed them. I was pretty excited when she started writing hockey romance and put the first three books into a set. I honestly think each book got better as they went.
You start with Lizzie and Garrett. These two have known each other since college and occasionally hooked up but are also best friends. When they have a falling out that separates them for a year, both blame the other. When they meet up again for their mutual friends baby christening the two reconnect and work out a lot. However Garrett wants more but Lizzie is never ready to settle down. She needs some time. Enter a little surprise pregnancy and things move a lot quicker but no less easy.
Second book is Joey and Gabbys story. I loved their story…the two had met before but didn’t know each other well. Gabby is Garrett’s little sister from book one and Joey is his teammate. Both are surprised when they wake up married in Vegas a morning after celebrating the team’s Stanley cup win. The two decide to try to make it work since there are benefits for both of them but the path to their happily ever after isn’t all that easy.
Last book follows Dominick and Holly and is so far my favorite. I love Dominick, the dark broody bad boy of the Vipers. When he gets in trouble and has to serve community service as a peewee hockey team coach he meets Ben and his mom Holly. Holly is a divorced mom with a piece of work ex. Dominick is instantly drawn to her even though he fights it. He doesn’t want to drag anyone into his very sketchy and heartbreaking past. But as he begins to open up to Holly and the team, he learns what real family is. Even when his real family tries to pull him down.
Overall very well written books with great plots. Would recommend and I’m looking forward to reading the next books in the series!

I received this book from Valentine PR in exchange for an honest review.
Overall average rating for the novella and the first three books: 3.5/5
Final Shot
This was a short novella to introduce the characters of book one. After reading the blurb of book 1, this book made more sense. I am interested to see how this continues. Hopefully it ends up being really good!
Rating: 3 stars
Game Changer
when starting this book I was quite happy that I read The 0.5 novella as it basically just continued on from that. I did feel like it was a bit rushed and that it could have been spaced out better. But I did enjoy this couple and I am excited to see them grow in the further books if they make an appearance in the rest of the series.
Rating: 3 stars
Dream Maker
I did enjoy this book more than I enjoyed the novella and the first book. But this book did feel like Insta love and I’m not a fan of it As it was only over a span of a couple of weeks. I do wish it was spread out more so that way it wasn’t insta love. But other than that I did enjoy the book and the way that this book was left on a cliffhanger is making me want to start the next book as soon as possible because I need to know what happens next.
Rating: 3.5 stars
Rule Breaker
This is definitely my favourite so far in the series. The characters had more depth, the book was spaced out better. Everything that Dominick went through and how he slowly grew into the person he ended up being was incredible and written really good. I loved having the dual point of views as we got to see both Dominick and Holly’s thought process for everything they were feeling. Will definitely be reading the next book

Three Las Vegas hockey players's happily ever after.
Garret and Lizzie are best friends and one passionate night changes their lives forever. Garret just moved to Las Vegas NHL team and Lizzie is still in Chicago. Plus they are not together and they will have a child on the way. They will have to decide if this can work between them. They will have to figure out how they are going to make this work.
After winning NHL championship Joey went out to celebrate and he ended up married to Garret's sister (his teammate) Gaby. They don't remember the ceremony but it's all over the gossip site and they will have to fake it until things settle down. But Joey is determined this time will work even if this wasn't what he planned. Joey is trying his best to win Gaby and stay married. Gaby wants to find herself before she settles down and her mother disapproves her actions. Joey will have to win everyone over and he is falling hard for Gaby. Gaby is happy with Joey but she is in Chicago and not sure what she wants to do before she becomes Mrs. Taylor. Will Gaby give him a chance before everything falls apart or finds herself and find her happily ever after.
Dominick is a loner in his team. Nobody knows who he really is since he never opens up to his teammates. He ends up in jail after a fight and he will need to do community service instead of jail time. So he ends up coaching a youth hockey team. He never knew he needed this job. He slowly opens up to everyone and one particular single mom Holly and her kid Ben warms their way in to his heart. His past comes to the light and he is learning to love others through Holly and forgives himself. Most grumpiest player meets his perfect sunshine heroine.
This is great Hockey series. I enjoyed reading all three books. It's bit lengthy but worth reading all. If you are big fan of Hockey, this is great book to read.

I have been reading Stacey Lynn's books for a number of years now and her hockey series are some of my favorites. I was excited to see the novella and first three books in the Las Vegas Vipers series collected into a set.
Game Changer has one of my favorite tropes, friends to more, and I loved Garrett and Lizzie together. They have been friends for years and have a strong connection. It was sweet seeing them fall for one another and their relationship evolving to something new.
Joey's life is complicated. He had his heart broken by his ex-wife, and then finds himself waking up with no recollection of how he ended up married to his teammate's sister Gabby. When they decide to stay married for the time being it isn't long before real feelings start to form. The two of them had a great connection and it was fun watching them fall for one another.
Dominick and Holly's story definitely gave me some Mighty Ducks vibes with the hockey player who gets in trouble and has to coach a youth hockey team. However, this takes that premise on a whole different direction. I loved seeing Holly and Dominick work through their feelings and attraction as they figure out how to open up to one another. She's dealing with a not-so-great ex and taking care of her son Ben, and he's got baggage of his own to work through. Their relationship development was nicely paced, and I liked the bonds that Dominick forms with Ben and the team.
I enjoyed all three books and the series as a whole! I can't wait to read more from Stacey.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.

When they decide to stay married for the time being it isn't long before real feelings start to form. The two of them had a great connection and it was fun watching them fall for one another.
Dominick and Holly's story definitely gave me some Mighty Ducks vibes with the hockey player who gets in trouble and has to coach a youth hockey team. However, this takes that premise on a whole different direction. I loved seeing Holly and Dominick work through their feelings and attraction as they figure out how to open up to one another. She's dealing with a not-so-great ex and taking care of her son Ben, and he's got baggage of his own to work through. Their relationship development was nicely paced, and I liked the bonds that Dominick forms with Ben and the team.
I enjoyed all three books and the series as a whole! I can't wait to read more from Stacey.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.

This box set is the perfect way to get the first half of Stacey Lynn's series all in one place! This bind up features the beginning novella and first 3 full length novels in this series. This Hockey Romance bind up is perfect for anyone looking to delve into a team and watch each of the hockey stars find their true romance. Lynn's writing in each novel is engaging, conversational and compelling. I love watching the interweaving and growing of a team in the backdrop of each of these romances. I loved that each character feels unique to themselves and well rounded. Lynn beautifully illuminates the bond between the Vipers and highlights that team is not just a sports term but it is the essence of who these men are to each other and the support they give. Stacy Lynn also does a lovely job using fun and charming tropes to easily draw the reader into each book. We get a second chance romance between friends to lovers who find themselves with a surprise pregnancy, a brother's friend and drunken Las Vegas wedding, and a youth coaching community service paired with a single mom and her hockey loving son.
Any romance reader is sure to find a trope them love. They are easily going to fall for each of these men. And you will just be delighted that there are 3 additional books in this series for your pleasure. Stacey Lynn is a contemporary romance author worth your time if you are looking for a low angst romance that is sweet, sensual and always going to leave you with a full heart!

The Las Vegas Vipers Box set is a collection of books that includes the first three books in the series and a novella. All the book features one of the guys from the Las Vegas Vipers hockey team. This series starts out featuring Garrett and Lizzie relationship in the novella and picks right back up in the first book a few short months later. The second book is about Joey Taylor and his best friend’s Garrett’s little sister Gabby. They wake up married after a night of drinking and have to navigate their life together. The last story follows Dominick who is the least know about from the first two books as he tends to keep to himself. This story follows him after he lands himself in jail and has to do community service coaching the youth hockey league. Through the youth hockey league he meets a single mother and slowly falls in love. I always love a good hockey romance and I am glad the series follows each of the guys on the team but so far Dominick’s story is my favorite. The first two while they were good I felt like they were too predictable but the last one kept me entertained. Also getting to finally see who Dominick really was under the tough exterior that he project was wonderful. Joey backstory was already told in both the novella and parts of the first book so there wasn’t much to explore there but learning more about Gabby and seeing how different her relationship with her mom was compared to Garrett’s relationship with their mom was surprising. I can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series and read Max story. Thank you Stacey Lynn and Valentine PR for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Novella and book 1 - Lizzie and Gareth’s story.
Miscommunication trope, accidental pregnancy trope. I loved it! Still smiling days later. The banter between these two was so fun and I loved that they had so much history and worked so hard for their HEA. Another exceptional book boyfriend.
Book 2 - Joey and Gabby's story.
Really enjoyed this one too and an again, still smiling. Not sure what to trope categorise it as but it was such a gorgeous journey for them. The spice was good, the work they both put into themselves and how they fought for their HEA was exactly what I needed. Loved the glimpses into the side characters from the previous book too.
Book 3 - Dom and Holly's story.
Single parent trope, oh yes! Grumpy/Sunshine, cool kid, sister getting a second chance, bad guys getting what was coming to them... exactly what I needed. Loved everything about this one. Bit of a slow burn and lower on the spice, but loved the story. Dom's journey to where he ended up broke my heart, but it was so beautiful.
Low angst across all the books which was a really nice palette cleanser. Loved the writing style and cannot wait to read the rest of the series and find out what happens to all these characters I've fallen in love with.
Highly recommend this series. One of my 5 star reads for 2024.

game changer (4/5): opening the series we have garrett and lizzie! the way I'm a sucker for a good friends to lovers romance. these two were easily my favorite story out of the three books because their tension just jumps at you. what happens when garrett admits his feelings? que in an unplanned pregnancy (secretly one of my favorite tropes)! lizzie ends up leaving after their night together and as time will tell, the news of her pregnancy changes everything.
dream maker (4/5): what happens in vegas stays in vegas... or does it? after a steamy night together, joey wake up in vegas married and end up staying together. joey ends up becoming my favorite male lead of these three books with no questions asked. I really liked enjoyed gabby and joey's relationship as they end up being very similar.. two people with big hearts.
rule breaker (3/5): it did take me awhile to get invested into these characters but halfway through the book as things started to pick up, I was pulled into their story and was hooked. dominick going from him not needing love to quickly doing more things for holly's son because he wanted both of them to be happy was everything. he was changing before everyone's eyes. the way he was so protective of his sister.. yeah my heart.
thank you valentine pr and the publisher for providing this arc in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions <3

Welcome to the world of the Las Vegas Vipers!!!!!
This boxset gives you the wonderful opportunity of reading the first three full length novels and the prequel novella in one go.
Final Shot is the prequel to the Las Vegas Vipers Series and it does exactly what a prequel should do. It gives you enough to leave you wanting more but not to much that you know what’s about to happen. This is an introduction to Garrett and Lizzie and the team!!!!
Game Changer is book one in the Las Vegas Vipers
This is Lizzie and Garrett’s story and if this story is anything to go by this will certainly be another hit series for this very talented author.
It’s bad enough to fall for your best friend but to accidentally get pregnant by him as well…..
Garrett and Lizzie have been best friends since college, they have survived distance when he got traded, career changes and other relationships but one wild winter weekend has him confessing he wants more but she wants time. Problem is 12 weeks later Lizzie finds herself pregnant and alone so how does she tell her best friend he is going to be a father after walking away and asking for time.
Dream Maker is book two in the Las Vegas Viper Series and what a wonderful addition to the series. I’m really struggling to write this review as I’m not sure my words can do this book justice and how do you describe a book that that took over your life, a journey you didn’t want to end and a couple you couldn’t get enough off …well here goes and I hope I can convince every sports lover to one click this gem. This is Joey and Gabby’s entertaining and heartwarming story.
We all know “ What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” or does it?
A Stanley Cup win has the Vipers out celebrating and Joey ends up spending the night with his best friend and teammates sister. But it wasn’t just hooking up for the night because imagine waking up with wedding bands on your fingers and imagine that before you can do anything about it’s blasted all over the news and social media. Another problem is Gabby and Joey actually have feelings for each other so can he convince her to take on change on them, to give their marriage a chance….
Rule Breaker is book three in the Las Vegas Vipers and it’s a wonderful addition to this fantastic hockey series. This is Dominick ( Dom) and single mum Holly’s story and all I’m going to say is you do want to join their captivating, heartwarming journey.
Dom is not your typical hockey player, he comes across as a grumpy playboy, losing his temper more often that not but underneath the walls he has built around himself is a wonderful, caring man. After spending a night in jail his team coach forces his to coach the local kids in the youth hockey league and who would have thought that a little boy named Ben would bring out the best in this grump. Being surrounded by kids is just what he needs to realise life can be fun but it’s Ben and his mum Holly that have caught this players eye so can they make Dom realise relationships can be wonderful.
I love this series and even though I read these books when they were released I was excited to dive in again and get reacquainted with the Vegas Vipers and their partners. These books have it all, swoon worthy hero’s, adorable heroines, plenty of sizzling chemistry and lots of witty banter. But I guess what’s more important is this series is well written and captivating, it’s about camaraderie, friendships as well as finding your soulmates. I highly recommend you all one click this boxset.

These were my first books by this author in this box set. I devoured them and cannot wait until I can read the rest of them. This boxset has Garrett, Joey and Dominick's stories.
Lizzie and Garrett Novella
Oh my what a way to grab me hook line and sinker. Cannot wait to see what happens in Vegas.
Garrett & Lizzie Book 1
Sigh... this is a great book. I enjoyed the story even though I wanted to smack them both several times. They finally figure out how to get their heads out of their bottoms and swoon what a great rest of the story. Cannot wait to see what happens with the rest of the group
Gabby and Joey
Swoony and making me tear up. This is Gabby and Joey's story. Get ready for a rollercoaster of ups and downs with some tears. I love the way Joey was with Gabby. His love for her was spellbinding. Cannot wait to read the next story and catch up on all these characters in the next one.
Holly and Dominick
I truly enjoyed this one. I was so glad they found each other. My heart truly hurt for Dom and Lucy. I am thankful you put this out there as it is something that truly needed to be talked about. Highly recommend this book and the whole series. Cannot wait to read the next ones.

The novella- Final Shot
4 stars
Read it! It made me understand Lizzie and Garrett so much better! I can’t imagine reading book 1 without it!
Book 1 - Game Changer
3 stars
Now! I usually hate a whoopsie pregnancy but I kinda loved this at first. We open up with the FMC already pregnant due to the events of the novella. I was worried it would be one of those situations where she didn’t tell him but that wasn’t the case. However it made me feel like ok so what are we doing then? They clearly wanted one another and it was a little boring.
Book 2 - Dream Maker
4 stars
I adored both of these characters from the moment that I met them, so I was really excited when I found out they were the main characters of this book. They had amazing chemistry, and I loved that they were literally working their relationship backwards. Bonus, not really a sports romance. Hes an athlete but there is so very little hockey involved.
Book 3 - Rule Breaker
4 stars
Dom is mysterious and i have wanted to know more about him since book 1. We start this book with him getting arrested. I was really intrigued by him yet I somehow became even more interested Holly because I saw myself in her. I wanted to squeeze poor Ben.

Omgness I absolutely loved these three stories. I cannot explain how much, I enjoyed reading these stories. What I love the most is that, the author did it as a box set. You did not have to wait long or anything like that. You were able to dive right in to the next story as soon as the first story ended. I loved that part the most. I enjoyed reading about the different couples. I like how the author writes stories that are not heavy on the drama. The characters issues are more internal and ones that are true to real life. They have to overcome their own obstacles and feelings to get to a point where they can truly let go and be who they were meant to be with their partners. This is my first time reading this author but it will definitely not be my last. She did a great job with the characters and the story building. I was truly impressed with the way she captured your attention from the moment the story started until the story ended. You were invested in the story and could not wait to see how it ended.

Las Vegas Vipers is a series of 7 hockey books. This box set contains the first three books of the series and a bonus novella. Each book features a different couple and a variety of tropes. Some of the tropes include: friends with benefits, brother’s friend, surprise pregnancy, getting married while drunk, and our typical grumpy male character involved with a single mom. Each couple has chemistry and a connection. The stories are engaging and each book is a standalone in a connected series. I was invested in each couple finding their HEA and loved the background of these players playing hockey and forming their own team family/community. Each book does have some spice and has its funny moments that will make you smile. I love that each character stood out on their own (not carbon copy of each other) the female characters were strong and resilient. I hope the remaining 3 books are also sold as a box set. I consider myself a serial reader (I love a series of book that are interconnected) so it’s nice to have a set of books all in one.

Boxset of hockey romance
I love a boxset, it’s a wonderful way to binge read a series. This set contains the prequel novella and books 1-3.
Each story seamlessly connects to the next, with wonderful characters and engaging storylines.
Each couple face challenges, individually, as part of the team and as a couple.
The writing is immersive and I loved getting to know the characters as each story played out.
Full of emotion, some angst, tension, drama, romance, chemistry, romance, steam, sweetness, swoons, banter and humour.
There’s second chances, surprises and character growth, great connections, sometimes a little miscommunication, always a lot of heart, soul and love and a wonderful found family.
I look forward to reading more from the Vipers.

jumped in and started reading this series with book 3 and loved it. I received a free ARC from the author and Valentine PR which gave me the opportunity to read the series’ prequel, book 1 & 2.
This is a great series and I’m a huge fan of Stacey Lynn. Her books focus on great characters with interesting situations, a strong sense of found family among the Vipers player and their significant other.
Each other couples in this box set will quickly grab your attention and your emotions. Be prepared to want to keep reading past your bedtime because the storytelling is addictive and engrossing. Once you start getting to know the rest of the characters, you will want to read the rest of the series and her earlier series too!
