Welcome to Litsy!

Two sweet m/m hockey romances from Catherine Cloud. I love the world she has created - I‘ve been immersed in her Same Old Streets AO3 collection lately. I enjoyed the tagged book last year, it seems to be the only title of hers in the Litsy database.

This is a low pick for me. I liked the plot and the MMC. However, the FMC I didn't care for. I prefer a strong female character. 3🌟

Romance with 🌶️

Hear me out, we need some recipes we this one 🤤

Hopped on the Elle Kennedy train and it did not disappoint 🚂

With her 8th book, Rachel Reid turns to second chance romance for two early-40s hockey retirees. There‘s a ton of baggage here, packed tight with decades-old fears and mental health challenges, but the drama never feels excessive because the characters have the maturity and the perspective to really SEE each other, understand the realities they both lived with in their 20s, and consider where they might go from here. Definitely recommended.
