Summary:  Coaching him was never part of the plan. Falling for her should NOT happen. But in hockey—and love—sometimes the best plays come when you break the rules.

Elle: Coaching the River City Renegades is exactly where I want to be—hockey, small-town charm, and zero drama…but there’s him.

Dixon Andrews. The team’s broody, infuriating, gorgeous goalie. He’s got a jawline that could cut glass and a grudge he’s pinned on me for something I didn’t even do. Now, he’s making my life turbulent one smoldering glare at a time.

I’ve coached at the highest level and handled more egos than I can count, but Dixon? He’s in a league of his own. The worst part? Beneath all that attitude is a man I can’t stop thinking about.

Dixon: Elle Carter is the one woman I swore I’d never forgive, but she just walked back into my life. As my coach.

She’s as bossy and infuriating as ever, and every time she’s near, I can feel my blood pressure spike. She’s also breathtaking. Sharp, beautiful, and still capable of turning my world upside down.

I’ve spent years convincing myself she didn’t matter. But now? Game after game, practice after practice, she’s breaking down my defenses—and if I’m not careful, I’ll break the biggest rule of all: to never fall for her. Not again.

Goalie Interrupted is a closed door hockey romcom that includes tropes like enemies to lovers, forbidden romance, and found family. This is the second book in a series, and it’s filled with sizzling chemistry and swoony kisses.

One (or more) Sentence Summary:  I LOVED Goalie Interrupted! Honestly, my favorite part was a perfect female main character in a male-dominated environment.  A female professional hockey coach who is a legend in the hockey world. 

Coach Elle's prior history with the goalie, Dixon, didn't end well the last time their paths crossed.  However, once they clear the air it becomes steaming between the two (clean steamy). Great story that unfolds naturally. 

Another favorite character is Nan, Dixon's grandmother.  She was hilarious and continued to keep me laughing throughout the book. 

A fun and quick read with characters you will love. I highly recommend it!

Anne Kemp is a bestselling author of romantic comedies. She loves reading (and she does it ridiculously fast, too!), gluten-free baking (because everyone needs a hobby that makes them crazy), and finding time to binge-watch her favorite shows. She grew up in Maryland but made Los Angeles her home until she encountered her own real-life meet-cute at a friend's wedding where she ended up married to one of the groomsmen. For real.

Anne now lives on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand, and even though she was married at Mt. Doom, no…she doesn’t have a Hobbit. However, she and her husband do have a terrier named George Clooney and when she’s not writing, she’s usually with them taking a long walk on the river by their home.

The Guncle Aboard

Synopsis (from Amazon):  Patrick O'Hara is called back to his guncle duties . . . This time for a big family wedding in Italy.

Patrick O’Hara is back. It’s been five years since his summer as his niece Maisie and nephew Grant’s caretaker after their mother’s passing. The kids are back in Connecticut with their dad, and Patrick has relocated to New York to remain close by and relaunch his dormant acting career. After the run of his second successful sit-com comes to a close, Patrick feels on top of the world . . . professionally. But some things have had to take a back seat. Looking down both barrels at fifty, Patrick is single again after breaking things off with Emory. But at least he has a family to lean on. Until that family needs to again lean on him.

When Patrick's brother, Greg, announces he’s getting remarried in Italy, Maisie and Grant are not thrilled. Patrick feels drawn to take the two back under his wing. As they travel through Europe on their way to the wedding, Patrick tries his best to help them understand love, much as he once helped them comprehend grief. But when they arrive in Italy, Patrick is overextended managing a groom with cold feet; his sister, Clara, flirting with guests left and right; a growing rivalry with the kids’ charming soon-to-be-launt (lesbian aunt), and two moody young teens trying to adjust to a new normal, all culminating in a disastrous rehearsal dinner.

Can Patrick save the day? Will teaching the kids about love help him repair his own love life? Can the change of scenery help Patrick come to terms with finally growing up? Gracing the page with his signature blend of humor and heart, Steven Rowley charms with a beloved story about the complicated bonds of family, love, and what it takes to rediscover yourself, even at the ripe age of fifty.

One (or more) Sentence Summary: Guncle series is my favorite Steven Rowley books. This is a laugh-out-loud while grabbing for a box of Kleenex for an ugly cry kind of book. 

GUP is back and have moved to New York. Maisie and Grant are a little older and back living with the father when they are whisked away to Italy for their dad's wedding. 

You will not be able to put this book down.  Make sure you have nothing on your calendar when you start it......because you will not want to put it down. 

You don't need to read Guncle first, but I highly recommend it because it is amazing and will make you just appreciate The Guncle Abroad even more.  

I can't get enough of Steven Rowley's books.
