Hat Trick: A Hockey Reverse Harem Romance

by Cassie Cole

I’m the new physical trainer for the Atlanta Reapers hockey team.
Which means I’m around shirtless, sweaty, shredded athletes every day.
I know I need to keep my personal and professional lives separate.
But these three players make that awfully hard.

Rhett Lawson, the young right wing, has his eye on me.
And with his swoony Georgia twang and playful smiles, he’s tough to ignore.
Then there’s Cole Thibault, the calm, confident, Canadian captain of the team.
After helping him rehab his knee, he rewards me with dinner—and more.
Finally, Elias Nystrom, the towering goalie from Sweden.
He’s a silent viking who pushes everyone away… until one day he finally asks me for help.

It’s my job to keep the players injury-free during the season.
But after a few freak accidents, we start to wonder if the team is cursed.
Can I score a hat trick with these three star athletes and help them win?
Or will we all lose more than just a game?

HAT TRICK is a standalone hockey Reverse Harem romance. There’s no cheating, no cliffhangers—and a guaranteed HEA!

3.8 stars.
Hot, for sure, but the timeline was so long that we didn’t get very much development in the relationships. It mostly felt like they kind of just fell into things. It was fun, though.

I received this book wiht the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet June Wilder, Rhett Lawson, Cole Thibault, & Elias Nystrom. When this book opens we find that June has just joined the Atlanta Reapers as their new physical trainer. From the moment she starts she knows that she is going to get push back but there is something about not only this team but these guys that have become more to her than she thought when she first started. Rhett is the kind of guy who make a joke with anyone. One night when something happens with June he realizes there is something more than just jokes with her. Cole has been compartmentalized his life for years now. With the addition of June to the team he finds himself finding a person who understands his compartments and lets him be him. Elias is a man who is a an island. When he learns that opening up to one person who sees him allows him to grow and heal in many ways. Can they all find a HEA or will their positions make that impossible?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I swear I devour everything she writes in a single day (read it late into the morning on the 27th) i just can’t get enough.

I absolutely loved the little suspense mystery in this one. I wasn’t expecting it.
Rhett, ugh I love a silly goofy man. The gene wilder of it all had me cracking up. His movie date was so perfect.
Elias, the protective af teddy bear. And his skill in the bedroom… yes PLEASE. I love that he was the one that was there to save her.
Cole, i think he might be my favorite. Everything with his sister had my heart so happy especially having a mother in a wheelchair. Their first date was so cute. Him taking everyone to Florence so she could see the statue in person was perfect.
The bonus epilogue was hilarious, and now I’m imagining them with a shit ton of kids. That would be perfect.
My only qualm is that we didn’t get a love confession from anyone 😭 that’s always my favorite.

A new hockey season is underway for the Atlanta Reapers and the team's personal trainer is retiring. Coach has a replacement lined up and ready but she is not what the guys expect. June is ecstatic, she has landed her dream job, her only concern - will she fit in? As the guys get to know June, she is welcomed and becomes part of the team but there are a couple teammates that want to get closer. Rhett, Cole and Elias work extremely well together on the ice, now they are expanding their teamwork off the ice. A great story, great characters that bring alot to the story - natural ups and downs and of course, the team building activities. Enjoy!.

I always know what to expect from Cassie Cole's books. Well define and likable characters, interesting well written story to entice, and steamy romantic encounters that brings the heat. This didn't disappoint me one bit. I'd enjoyed it very much. This sports romance harem story is about June a physical trainer for the Atlanta Reapers hockey team and three hockey team members: Rhett the right wing, Cole the team's captain, and Elias the goalie. Each man has their individual personalities as they form a unit. June was a delightful lady who can't believe the three men want her, but they woo her until she does. There's a twist in this romance story as danger to the team is written in this enjoyable story. I'd received a copy and volunteer to read and review.

Overall, I liked this book. The banter between the characters was pretty great, and had me, literally, laugh out loud several times while reading. The two big "mysteries" were a little predictable to me, (I called them both as soon as they came up) but it was still enjoyable getting to the resolutions of both. I have to admit, it made my eye a little twitchy every time a character referred to having sex as sleeping together, especially when there wasn't even a bed or sleeping involved. I know it's a colloquialism, but, still, if it's just a quickie, it's not "sleeping together"

While I enjoyed this book, I'm not sure it's one I would read again, but it was a fun, quick read.

Hat Trick is classic Cassie Cole-fast-paced, flirty, and full of that delicious why-choose energy she does so well. The chemistry between the heroine and her three hockey players sparks from page one and never lets up. Each guy brings something different to the table, and the way their dynamic grows feels both fun and surprisingly heartfelt.
There's plenty of steam (like, plenty), but also enough character moments to make you genuinely care about the relationships. I loved the playful banter, the supportive vibes between the heroes, and the heroine's journey into embracing a love that doesn't fit a traditional mold.

The Captain, the Charmer and the Grumpy 5 stars. - June got the job of her dreams and she doesn’t want any entanglements to mess it up. She’s a capable and competent physical trainer and having a relationship with any of the hockey players, let alone three, will work against her. The story has the right blend of steam, romance and sports with a little bit of plot. I like the author adding enough hockey details and a little bit of danger and mystery to the story. Looking for something steamy that’s easy to read? This is your book. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily chose to review it.

Despite the dates, I read this in a day. I “started” it a few months ago but didn’t get more than a page into it. So I just started again.

This was a hot little RH. Plenty of spice. Reminded me a lot of another hockey RH, but this was a good deal shorter. (While good, that other one was lonnnggg).

It felt like there was less falling from the guys’ perspective, which I missed, but it adequately spicy to compensate.

And, I gotta say, I really prefer when the RH becomes more widely known and is treated as NBD. Live and let live. Love and let love. As long as everyone is legal and consenting! 👍🏽

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. Told in the point of views of each of the four main characters, the percentage of each perspective is proportional to how verbose that character is, I.e. chatty Rhett narrates more chapters than strong, silent Elias. The characters were well developed and interesting and their interactions and relationships were well written and engaging. The conflicts and drama throughout the plot added to the overall experience of this book.

Great story.
I loved this story how could you not with June & her 3 hot hockey players.
She wasn't sure the team would accept her but they did from the start & sexual chemistry with Rhett then Cole off the charts. Howevervthere was a broody a Swedish hot player Elias who also fell under her charm only it took a while for him to show it.
Yes there was a lot of steam but also fun, sass, flirting, emotional, secrets & drama kept me glued till the end.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked how June gets her dream job and how relationships developed with Rhett, Cole and Elias into love. There was a bit of trouble and danger that lasted for awhile before the culprit was caught. I liked how it was June and Elias who caught him. Although the reason behind the trouble was terrible, I liked how the team handled the situation.

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

Personal Trainer - June (FMC) lands the perfect job as the trainer for the Atlanta Reapers Hockey Team. Though her dream job comes with an attraction to players - Rhett, Cole & Elias. All of which brought on plenty of steamy scenarios. Shocking for me was grumpy anti-social - Elias who was definitely a dark horse in this book. The backstory was a gripping addition to this book and made for a great read.

Hat Trick (A Hockey Reverse Haven Romance)

I loved this book, what a trip! All the things a girl could want, plus getting Alice involved with their family. Nothing better than a lot of sex and love and a great sport, the baby sill be so spoiled when they have one, wow.
Reverse harems are a favorite of mine. What a treat with this family, poly amorous it is.
Interesting to the end. See you next time.

[reader101 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Quick and easy short read. The characters fell flat. They did not seem to have any sort of depth or development throughout the story. Yes there was a sister involved that we learned about and some trauma but it did not seem to add anything to the story. It was a fun read which is keeping me from giving it one star but I wish I had seen some sort of development. And the crazy man plot wasn’t developed enough. It was very odd.

[Narelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's June's job as the physical trainer to keep the men of the Atlanta Reapers hockey team moving on the ice. Team captain Cole and fellow players Rhett and Elias make it their business to look after the beauty and are there when needed. A steamy and sexy menage read.

Hat Trick

I’m not the hugest fan of hockey but I adore Cassie and she did not disappoint with this one!

All three guys were great in their own ways but Elias will own my heart.

I wish the mystery and suspense were a little more drawn out honestly. There was potential there but it fell flat.

This one is certainly going on my reread list!

[Stephanie Wise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hockey as a pallette cleanser...Yes

Picked this up as an after read from an emotionally heavy book. I just needed some hunky hockey players and their woman.
Brain "dirtyfying" complete!

Book was great. MCs showed a lot of growth. Everyone was happy in the end.

5 stars as it did what I intended. To clear my mind.

[Sarah Freilinger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sucks you in

You are not going to be able to put this down once you start reading. Rhett and Cole are the classic hockey player jocks, and Elias is a gentle giant. And June gets to experience all of them, together or alone.

hockey boys and their play toys

This was just gorgeous.
The characters, the plot, the twists... all of it.

It seemed very similar to another book until I realised that I had actually read it before but was unable the post review on the Zon and GR.

Very good story!!!

I loved the characters and the storyline. Even a little mystery weaved in to the RH experience. The story made me laugh, cringe, hold my breath, and get sweaty. The love scenes were 🔥🔥🔥 🔥!!!! Great story to read!
