Blue Ridge Buffaloes Hockey #5

Love Behind the Boards: A Sweet Hockey Instalove RomCom Short Read

Rate this book
He’s a grumpy hockey star on the verge of retirement, but she might just be the one to melt his icy exterior.





My life is all about creating the perfect scent and making people smile—until I literally collide with Grayson Wolfe, the grumpiest defenseman on the Blue Ridge Buffaloes hockey team.

One bodyslam and a ruined wedding bouquet later, I find myself inexplicably drawn to this brooding athlete with a hidden heart of gold. As I help him organize a charity pancake breakfast, our chemistry fizzes like one of my bath bombs. But Grayson’s hiding an injury that could end his career, and I’m determined to show him there’s more to life than hockey.

Between soap-making mishaps, carnival adventures, and steamy kisses behind the boards, I’m falling hard and fast. Can I convince this Wild Wolfe that love is the greatest victory of all? Or will his fear of the future leave us both out in the cold?



This book is full of hot kissing, the scent of cedar wood, soap puns, grumpy hockey players, and body positivity from a plus-sized heroine. Read at your own pleasure!

Grayson & Violet

Loved this one! The soap puns will have you smiling! Loved grumpy Grayson and his sunshine Violet. A cute, short & quick read but still packed with a full story!
