Coast to Coast: Book Two All Aces Hockey, Single Dad, Nanny, Sports Romance
He’s hockey’s newest golden boy, a sudden single dad, and my brand-new boss. I’m just the nanny who agreed to fake-date him.
Tom Campbell has the hardest shot on the ice and zero idea how to raise a toddler on his own. Between cross-country road games, a demanding public image, and a custody nightmare playing out across state lines, his life is completely spiraling. He needs a professional caregiver. What he gets is me—an out-of-work marketing executive who desperately needs this paycheck, even if living on the road with the league’s most notoriously brooding defenseman is a recipe for disaster.
The rules were Keep the baby safe, keep out of the tabloids, and absolutely do not fall for the player.
But with his teammates sniffing around his new nanny and a fake relationship becomes the only way to protect his custody rights, our strictly professional arrangement blurs into something dangerously real.
Tom is used to fighting for every goal on the ice, but now he’s fighting for us. The only problem? My heart isn't part of the contract.

Enjoyable read
I mainly started out reading this book to see what happened to Crew. I ended up really liking Tom and Calliope. You knew where their story was headed but Tom was still heartbreaking. Crew was just as cute as ever and I'm glad I got to see more of Sam and Kelsey.

I’m super torn about my review of this book and I’d give it a 3.5 to maybe 4. It would have stayed at 3 had I not read the acknowledgements.
The story is a quick read with great characters. I never read book 1 in this series, but like a good hockey romance and am a total sucker for single parents with cute kids. This book checks all of those boxes and more.
This book is heavy on the spice factor, which was pretty good spice. There were a few small things that annoyed me about the storyline within the book, but honestly they were small and I thought it was overall an enjoyable read- and as I mentioned I really liked all of the characters.
So what’s the problem you ask? The editing. Not in a plot lines sort of way, in a literal spelling, grammar and punctuation way. Normally a typo or two doesn’t bother me at all. I can quickly overlook it because I’m totally immersed in the story. But these were so many that it kept pulling me out of the story. I’d read a sentence and it would be confusing so I’d reread it only to realize one of the words was wrong and it was intended to say “him” instead of “her”, and “Tom” instead of “Tim”..among so many others.
The author writes an acknowledgement at the end thanking everyone who reads her books and explaining she’s pretty much a one woman show who does all of this outside of her normal job. I totally get not having an editing team and self publishing, but what about beta readers? Net galley?? I absolutely would have read an arc of this to proof read and I’m sure there are plenty of booktokers and other romance readers that would as well.I just discovered with this book you can send typos into kindle and sent several..
In that regard it was a bit painful to get through and there were a few things about the story I didn’t like which makes it not a solid 5*, but I certainly couldn’t write a whole book this creative in my spare time so credit where credit is due.

Sexy text banter!!! I don’t know why (maybe it’s the millennial in me), but cute sexting/banter just is the icing on the cake for my reading.
There’s definitely a bit of insta lust (which I don’t mind), and I will say the hockey season itself is zoomed past to give this couple their grand finale.
I appreciated no 3rd act break up!!
There’s a lot of great side characters coming through now and really I hope PJ and Monica figure it out and Juno is swept off her feet. Not sure if that will happen, but definitely characters I would love to see more of 😊😊

Callie & Tom
Another feel good romance for the win! Calliope and Tom come together in the sweetest way to care for Crew. A fun extension to the last book. Low drama, low angst, & a perfect story if you’re looking for a sweet romance.

The one was better than book 1 based on Crews mom and step dad Sam.
The ending was all rushed but that’s okay. Does Damon have a book I think he is going to be depressed and I thought he was going to get with Juno somehow idk from where I got that idea.

loved the premise and really wanted to like this book but the typos, wrong names, and confusing grammar made me put it down a few chapters in.

This was adorable. And a little spicy.

Lots of typos/grammar issues. Moves very quickly at the end with the acceptance of Tom and Kelsey being together and Sam and Kelsey just being ok with it over a few sentences.

Better than book 1 but this author needs a better editor. Multiple grammar and spelling errors. And a very abrupt ending.

Enjoyed the story and the characters.
There were a lot of little issues. A 16 month old speak full sentences seemed a little much, there was more focus on the physical than I usually like. Lots of little editing mistakes.
