Stick Tease
Never tease a captain’s stick… unless you can finish what you started.
Jessica Brooks used me as her fake boyfriend to dodge a creep at a bar.
One kiss went viral, and now the whole internet thinks the sassy fashion influencer is dating Miami’s most untouchable captain.
Yeah. No.
I don’t do relationships. I don’t do beautiful blonde distractions in the middle of a playoff run. And I sure as hell don’t do fake girlfriends.
But my PR team sees an opportunity. Her do-gooder brand plus my ice-cold reputation equals foundation funding.
Fine. We’ll fake it.
The problem?
Jessica’s laugh. Her gorgeous blue eyes. Those soft, pouty lips… and the things I want her to do with them.
Now she’s under my roof, pushing past my walls… and punishing me for being too much of a jerk to admit this is getting real.
She thinks breaking my self-control is a game.
Sweetheart.
You’re about to learn that when you play with the captain's stick—
He’s gonna make you beg to keep it
Stick Tease is a steamy standalone fake-dating, enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity hockey romance. This is book two in the Miami Blazers series with a guaranteed HEA! When a viral kiss forces Miami’s most untouchable NHL captain into a fake relationship with a sassy fashion influencer, the last thing he expects is to end up sharing a roof with the one woman hell bent on wrecking his self-control.

Way too long imo
The book wasn’t bad, just way too long for a whole lot of nothingness. 640 pages is way too much for just a basic hockey romance.
There were quite a few grammar errors and repeated sentences. I also feel like the character development on both ends was very wishy washy. It was hard to get a clear picture on what was going on at times.
It also just feels incomplete? Random things would just be thrown in with no explanation or context. For example, she supposedly was a capital V card holder, but we as readers are never told this and it was never even alluded to. We find this out at the same time as the MMC and it was just confusing on how it was just thrown in.
Also, at the end there were so many things just left we don’t know about the characters, relationships with MMCs parents, what they wanted for the future, ect. Which is crazy given the length of this book.
By the way, there’s no third act conflict. I could be mistaken, but there’s no real climax to the story really at all. Once the couple gets together they stay together and then a whole lot of filler and spice. Then, that’s it.
Finally, there’s no HEA - only a HFN. Which would have been fine, except for that fact that this book was over 600 pages. You’re telling me that we read this whole thing and didn’t get more than just the end of the same season where they got together!?
Anyways, the book was okay. I wasn’t personally a fan of either the FMC or MMC and I also didn’t really care if they ended up together or not, but for 600+ pages I really expected something deeper than this was. Definitely needed a hefty chop and more cohesive progression of the story.

One second I almost DNFed, and the next I’m crying because it was cute. First 1/2 of the book I wasn’t the biggest fan of the MMC, however he grew on me and I ended up really enjoying it.

one virgin was okay but two??
I DNFed the book at 46%. *****spoiler the first book's fmc was an inexperienced virgin who then got with the cool hockey god plot line. It was fine for the first book I actually really enjoyed it. However I get the the first spicy scene in the book and lo and behold this fmc is yet another inexperienced virgin. Once is plot line, but having it in your second book too is weird. Very purity culture.

Loved Dom
I really liked Dominic ,Jessica I disliked , she was one who latched on to him in the bar not the other way around and wasn't happy at first about all the attention but man she changed her mind quickly and again got grabby and acted like he should be thankful and set conditions which were again dumb and selfish, she should swallowed her pride and explained why she wanted to move in then got irritated when he really didn't want her there at first. I just hated her selfish personality. All he wanted was to start the kids club. Even when at end he explained his family she was a bit annoying about it. Sorry to those who liked her but I couldn't because she made it about herself .

I’m not stupid. I know manipulation when I see it.
But damn—when it comes wrapped in a face like that, with a voice like his, in a deal that reads like seduction, how do you tell the difference?
Everyone’s hot. Jessica was hot. Dominic was hot. And even I felt hot reading their explicit scenes. Besides the hotness? Brilliant writing that got me giggling— like the childish innocent kind of giggles. I started this book with mid expectations, but this book def blows my mind away. At first, we didn’t see much of their ‘closeness’, and I gotta say that the only feelings they felt for each other was lust. I love despite the hotness, both Jess and Dom’s character were kind, loyal, and hardworking. Jess is a social media content creator and designer (a dayum good one), whereas Dom is the broody captain of the Miami Blazer. They crossed path at a nightclub where a man tried to flirt with Jess but somehow crossed the sexually harassment line, and there comes Dom who was forced to act as her boyfriend. They did a short kiss on the cheek as a way to prove to the douchebag, but atlas their spontaneous act got caught in the social media and everyone in the team decided that it will be a good PR for Dom’s image, which will also help with his intention in building a Youth Centre.
“This batch is for Addams only,” she says seriously. “I used lactose-free milk for him. I heard someone mention he’s intolerant.”
I stare at her, not believing what I’m seeing. She goes back to the tray, humming softly.
I truly believe that one of the kindest things someone could do is memorising the little details about you. The fact that Jess remembered one of Dominic’s friend is lactose intolerant truly shows the kind of character she is, and that’s one of the reasons Dom fell for her. We went from seeing Dom as a very private person to someone who’s willing to do everything for Jess— taking selfies, asking her to join their away games, always thinking of her feelings, and of course, even pulled some strings just to get her designs to be noticed by well-known designers.
“So, why do you have these?”I pick up the mini shovel and hold it up.
“I need your help burying a body. Hardware store was closed, so I figured this would do.”
A small laugh escapes me as he lifts the plastic shovel dramatically. “I’m serious,” I say, still smiling. “What are they for?”
“For a sandcastle.”
This scene definitely got me blushing and in awe, because what do you mean the famous mean and broody Captain remembers the details of their first ‘date’ that Jessice faked about during one of their interviews? At first Dom showed dislike towards the idea cuz he said there’s no way he would do that on a first date, but atlas, the man went down and tried to follow all the things that Jess described. Lastly, I can’t express how much I love this book and how I adore both character’s way of hardworking, and also I can’t wait to read Zedd’s book!

Dom really peaked my internet is Jaces book. I mean overprotective, tall, a Captain, and a dirty talker in your ear. Yes please!!!!Jessica was all the things he didn't know he needed. There story was everyrhing.
This review I couldn't resist doing just some of my favorite quotes from Dom. He was so easy to fall for.
Dominic- I like things that fit me perfectly.
Dominic- My cock, my mouth, my nervous system they all voted without me.
And I'm Dom so unless you're blind and stupid on top of being chatty, you should understand one thing, don't put your hands on my woman.
Dominic- "When I touch you again, I want you sober feeling every single fucking thing I do to you."
Dominic- "This is your last chance. Once you say yes, you're mine and I won't stop."
Jessica- When he finally stills, breathing hard, he stares down at me.I'm completely ruined wrecked and- his.
Jessica- "Don't lose out their captain, her mouth curves. I don't date losers."
Dominic- "don't do well with things in my way."
Dominic- "It won't bite," I tell her quietly, "Only I do!"
Dominic- "God's not doing this to you." "I am. Say my name". . "Dominic!!"
Jessica- "You're insane." She pants "You're delicious." I murmur
Dominic- She's the most beautiful fucking thing I've ever seen brilliance, fire, passion, and I refuse to be anything less for her. She deserves it all.
Dominic- "I got you dirty," I say looking up at her. "So it's my job to get you clean."
Blazers 2 Red Wings 0
Dominic- "You can have me on my knees anytime" he adds "Anywhere."
Teamate- "Dom I could actually kiss you right now." "Hot, but you're not my type." He acts offended. "What is it? It's because I wax, isn't it?" "Yeah, and the fact that you're swinging a nine-incher down there. I prefer oysters over sausages." "But if there aren't any oysters around." "Then you can call me."
Dominic-"I'd like the chance to turn your fantasies into reality."
Dominic-"I've been subtle all afternoon. You've been talking and smiling and eating strawberries and I've been hard for 3 hours. Trying to be a gentleman, I think I've hit my quota. "
Dominic-"I'm your man, which means I don't stand on the sidelines while you climb. I put whatever I have where you need it. My name, my face, my time, my body in a tux, Whatever you'll let me give."
Dominic-"I'm in love with your daughter sir, It's my pleasure." Dom smiles
Jessica's Dad- "Well that's wrong, I taught my boys how to fish. Guess I better teach my third."

Stick Tease is the second book in Miami Blazers series by Vitina Rose and I seen a reel on Facebook advertising this book so I jumped on it. The author is new to me and I would read her again but....this book IMHO left to many questions, what age is the FMC, V card was exposed at last minute, MMC hip injury, his parents relationship and finally the HFN in the epilogues just left you hanging after over 600 pages. You will get spicy steamy scenes, a found family, hockey, slight OW drama, forced proximity with fake dating but no enemies to lovers situation. I'm very interested in Zed's mysterious story...
Jessica Brooks, Fashion Influencer, has moved to Miami and her best friend convinces her to go out to a club. A creep has her cornered and she grabs for a huge man for help and they end up going viral.
Dominick Moreal is Captain of the Miami Blazers Professional Hockey Team and he's out celebrating a win with his team when a woman grabs onto him and with one look he's smitten.
Jess never expected a call from the PR team to ask her to fake date the Captain to help improve his image while also promoting her fashion designs.
Dom likes control and things in there place and he doesn't get that when Jess invades his home but the silence of the home has gone and he could get used to having her in his space. Is she counting down to the deadline or she on the same page as him?

The heat in this book melted the ice in the rink!
Dominic is the captain of the Miami Blaze hockey team. He had rich, but cold family who he is currently estranged from. Jessica is a designer and seamstress. She grabs him at a crowded bar to get rid of a jerk who's harassing her. Dominic makes her an origami flower and tucks it behind her ear. That goes viral and his PR staff decides the relationship could benefit them both. Make Dom more human and help Jessica with her design business.
The tension between these 2 - phew. They both have feelings, but don't know how to handle them. Jessica teases Dom mercilessly trying to make him break. Dom is growly and protective. When he finally does break - the steam is amazing. The scenes in the kitchen, the shower, and on the ice rink will melt your kindle.
But the relationship between them feels so real. And once they truly connect Dominic is THERE for Jessica in every important way. I lvoed the development of the side characters. Jess's best friend Danni, and Dom's teammates. They do get their HEA. And in the last chapter we find out what Stick Tease really means.
I'm not a hockey fan, but this book totally stands on it's own and is a great, steamy romance.

Stick Tease by Vitina Rose is a 5+ star book. It was unbelievably good. I want the two main characters to be someone I could meet in person. They are fantastic! The banter was not just fun, but so smart and sarcastic. Witty. Laugh out loud. The slow burn was worth it, and, then, when they finally moved into the action, it was so amazingly hot it was through the roof delicious. The main character of Jessica is someone anyone would root for and want to be friends with. She is strong, confident, and takes no prisoners. Dominic, the grouchy captain of the hockey team that she is pretending to be romantically involved with to improve his image, is just plain hot. He is a possessive, alpha male who is beyond drool worthy.
It's a shame this book had to end. It was just sooo good, I could have hung out with the characters for days. Instead I stayed up until 4:00 am because I couldn't put it down. For someone who is not into sports, including hockey, that is just amazing. Oh, and the title comes out at the end with a surprise play on words. At least it was for me.
Grab this one. Then wait for the story about Zed, the goalie. If it beats this one, I will be amazed.

This book was the absolute best when it comes to fake dating. Dominic and Jessica engage in a kiss that goes viral. So not the hockey team Captain has been ripped into a fake relationship to help with PR. Dominic isn’t about relationships and all that but he agrees anyway. And when Jessica mixes in with him, he tries to make things hard for her. But Jessica isn’t having any of that. She gives just as well as she gets. She’s a strong woman, fun and sweet. And no matter how hard Dominic tries, he’s falling for her.
The back and forth, push and pull, was perfect. And when these two finally came together, it was explosive. I loved seeing these two together. They were great with one another.

Not sure why this labeled enemies to lovers cause there is instant attraction and interest. There’s a bit of bitterness at the fact they need each other to reach their goals, but I wouldn’t say they were ever enemies. Dom is closed off, comes across cold and unapproachable. Jessica is the opposite. She is a social media influencer whom many adore. Them coming together was the perfect amount of slow burn. Them trying to keep things “ professional” was a valiant effort, but futile. I absolutely loved the banter. I wish Jessica had more fight when they were getting down to business, I loved the story overall.

3.65 stars?
This book was still good but not as good as the first. I liked the story line, the fmc was pretty cool, and it was an interesting read.
I just fully couldn't get behind the mmc. He hated his parents for how controlling and micromanaging he was. That is literally his whole personality in this book but he calls it protectiveness so it's alright. He does some cute things for the fmc and she calls him out towards the very end for being hot and cold BUT I would argue he is basically just like his parents (which were toxic). He can slightly be excused since he's fictional but if my friend dated someone like this in real life I'd tell her to run away.

I am kinda shocked this book has such high ratings/overly positive reviews. I generally read a book in one or two days but I struggled with this one and only didn’t DNF because I hate not giving it the ‘good ol’ try’ - just in case. I jumped to other books because this didn’t keep my interest. Dom sounds like a douchenozzle for most of the interactions, until the end when he decides he likes her. The sex scenes were kinda cringey to me, too. This girl is a virgin? Cmon. And if she is that’s immediately how you treat her? Blech.
Most of all - why the f is this book 660 pages?! Unnecessary. Overkill. Fluff.

This was so much fun! I love a good sports romance/fake dating! I usually don’t love fake daring because it always ends up in daring anyways but this one was so fun. The enemies to lovers wasn’t really that, it was more like super charged chemistry and they trying to deny it. Some points were so fun, like the contract, I love her with him and the team. The plot itself was pretty straight forward but honestly that was fine. The spice was so good!! I wasn’t loving the mmc’s attitude, I’m all for a possessive mmc but don’t go hot and cold all the time!! I was so annoyed with that. The ending was so cute!!

I’ll give it a star because it kept me through 50% before I couldn’t do it anymore. First the MMC is a douche and I don’t care if he thinks nice thoughts in his head. Plain and simple he says some fkd hurtful things and treats her like crap. Second the FMC is a doormat that needs some serious esteem counseling and really starting to see this author has a virgin theme going with older characters. Odd but ok. Really disappointed as I love the first book but this couple is toxic. She’s a user and he’s a douche.

Tenacious Woman Meets The Captain
I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a while. The slow build and burn of their attraction and relationship is just right. The small nudges each gives the other towards being better are exactly what makes them believable while they are frustrating each other. I wanted to see Val get more of a blow off but what happens is enough I suppose.
I really enjoyed the hints at Zed’s history and the humanization of his character in this book. I’m looking forward to digging deeper into his story.

Want to know what a bestselling romance book looks like. Then you should definitely read this hot, amazing, and magnetic hockey romance book by Vitina.
Holy smokes I absolutely LOVED this book. FANTASTIC characters, the most PHENOMENAL storyline that grips you right away. I always have loved reading anything Vitina writes, but this romance book right here just became my new #1 favorite to read by her. That is until her next book comes out.

A classic romance hockey book, I think they’re all the same but I like it everytime. In a lot of romance books the main characters despite their age act like teenagers and in this book I think their behaviour was adequate for their age. The plotwist if there was one even, was boring and in my opinion the smut started really early in the book but everyone’s taste is different. The book didn’t really woke up any emotions in me.

This book is fast to read and has you sitting on the edge of your seat. You really feel with the characters and for me I felt with them. It is a good story and well build. Im a slow reader and I have read this book in les then 3 days. It is a perfect combination of haters to lovers and yearning in the process. You really tart to love dominic and Jessica and I can’t wait to read more about the story of zed. I highly recommend this book.

Another winner…
I am loving The MiamiBlazers Series. I really hope there’s more to come. Dominic and Jessica are hot, hot, hot! And I love learning more about Dom’s teammates. Their camaraderie seems natural - not forced or over done. I’m already wondering who the next book in the series will be about and when it will be available.

This is by far the best hockey romance I have ever read. I loved the banter between the MMC and MFC. I loved the touch her and die vibes. Jessica was a little spitfire and I loved that about her. I can’t wait to continue on with this series and I hope to see more of all the other characters in upcoming books. This is a must read. Love scenes were also fire! Read it you won’t regret it

Wonderful read.
This book was sooooo good! No breakups, no losing sight of their wants. This was 100% wholesome. This book was described with perfect yearning on both parts and kept me smiling. This book entails a love we all look for our whole lives. This love story I will be thinking about long down the road. ❤️

I really wanted to love this one… but unfortunately, the chemistry just wasn’t chemistry-ing. 😭
The premise had potential, but the pacing felt all over the place and I never fully connected with the characters. I kept waiting for that moment where everything would click for me, but it never really happened.
Definitely a case of “this sounded better in theory.”

my new favourite book
Omfg this book was amazing it was slow burn without being too slow, drama in perfect proportion, spice that had me blushing like a school girl talking about a crush AND the mmc can take accountability! This book was genuinely perfect and I think I’m ruined for other hockey books now.

“I suddenly see a young boy who never got the chance to be a kid—whose father didn’t teach him to fish, whose mother didn’t kiss his cheeks—and my heart is full of something so bittersweet a single tear finally slips free.
“I’m going fishing,” he says, like he can’t fully believe it until he says it out loud to me.”

A must Read
I’m still baffled by the writers ability to give such amazing descriptions of the story that visually you see each scene. I love the connection between Jessica and Dominic. Their love story makes you want the book to never end! Great read!

Two people with who together burn brighter
The need to humanize the granite formed hockey player with a talented young designer to assure them their dreams if they do it together. A great story of compromise and discovery .It was a great read.
