Blue Ridge Buffaloes Hockey #2

Love in the Net: A Sweet Hockey Instalove RomCom

Rate this book
Goalkeeper Liam “The Wall” O’Brien can block every puck that comes his way, but nothing can prepare him for the whirlwind that is Claire Daniels…





The only thing more chaotic than a park full of twenty-five dogs with minds of their own? My life after meeting Liam O’Brien.

It starts with Waffles, my golden retriever and partner-in-mischief, tackling him into the mud during what was supposed to be a peaceful community event. Turns out, Liam isn’t just a ridiculously handsome dog-lover—he’s also the starting goalkeeper for the Blue Ridge Buffaloes and a walking advertisement for broad shoulders and brooding stares.

One accidental collision, one “stolen” wallet, and one fateful dinner later, and I can’t stop thinking about him. Or the way his kiss feels like coming home. But when your life revolves around a dog treat bakery in a small town and his involves arenas, road trips, and screaming fans, it’s hard to imagine how the pieces fit together.

Liam says we’ll figure it out. He says I’m worth it. And every time he looks at me, with those smoldering gray eyes and that soft, steady smile, I want to believe him.

But love, like hockey, isn’t without its risks. And I’ll have to decide if I’m brave enough to take the shot—because the man who owns my heart is standing in the net, and this is the game of our lives.



Trigger This book is full of hot kissing, fun dog treats, multiple canines, and body positivity from a plus-sized heroine. Read at your own pleasure!

Liam & Claire

Loved this! Super cute! Loved Liam & Claire’s meet cute and their love of dogs. Though this is a short read, it’s still a full story-loved the depth that was created!

Such a sweet and cute read. I enjoyed Liam and Claire's cute meet and enjoyed that their story involved dogs. If you are looking for a relatively quick hockey read with instalove, then this one is for you.
