Heartbreak Hockey Book 1

 

MAKE ME CHASE YOU. MAKE ME WORK FOR YOU.

Jack

Rhett and I were supposed to grow old together, but he double broke my heart when he forced me to choose between marrying him and hockey. I had to watch his sever in two as I felt mine breaking apart. Worst day you’ll ever have, lemme tell yah.

I chose hockey and if I’m choosing hockey, I’m doing it all the way and leaving love out of the equation, maybe forever. No point getting involved with someone else just to break both of our hearts.

Slept with my new coach, though. It was on accident, okay? It’s not like I knew he was gonna be my coach when it happened. I do know that if it happens again, my heart will be in jeopardy. I’ve just got to get through the season without falling back into bed with him.

Annoying the ever-loving heck outta him should do the trick, eh?

Mercy

People depend on me. They need me. That’s what my life has been about since I was ten years old. The one time I stepped outside of that was such a colossal failure, I vowed never to do it again.

My sister cursed me. She said that one day I’d pay for my situationship ways by falling so in love with a man that I’d do anything for him.

I hate that she was right.

My heart’s decided Jack’s mine and now that I’ve fallen, I’ll never be the same. I might have to live the rest of my life as half a person.

He’s on my hockey team and I can’t avoid him. I’m drawn to him. Can’t stop thinking about him. What do you do when you know in your heart someone’s yours, but you can’t have them?

This real Canadian adventure features possessive MCs, an age-gap romance, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and the sweetest hockey romance you’ll ever read. Oh, and of course, it contains the caretaking dynamic Mock (S. Legend and Canadian) is known best for. It’s a verified member of the Hot Pink Peaches Club.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Jack has had quite the year. And it started when his longterm boyfriend, Rhett, decided that when he proposed marriage it came with an ultimatum. Jack should give up his hockey dreams. He’s been in the AHL a while and unlike Rhett who is in the NHL, clearly it’s not working. And after giving up, marry Rhett. Heartbroken that this is what their relationship has come to, Jack decides to pursue his dreams. But the season that followed the break up wasn’t his best. His stats were lower than ever and still no looks to be moved up. He’s not happy and his new view on relationships is no love and just hook ups. But then one night with Mercy, will that is the first time he is tempted to have someone in his bed again, so he leaves. But too bad for him, Mercy ends up his new coach. And it is just the beginning of what is a very long and hard earned romance. Mercy is the oldest of his siblings. Most of which are his half siblings because his father just can’t seem to stop getting women pregnant and Mercy finds himself more of the father figure than anything. And there is apparently a new half-sibling on the way. They are drowning, until Mercy gets an offer to coach hockey again. He realizes he has to take it (after some encouragement from most of his siblings). It will help them financially and he’ll get to live his dream again. But he never expects to see Jack again. Like Jack, his rule was stay away from love and just do the hook up life. But one night with Jack and he knew he was different. But now he is his coach. They have to stay professional… or at least they try. This story was a long journey for them. Neither were in a good place for a relationship. Jack’s ex still causes trouble, Mercy has his family to look after. But the chemistry between them is stronger than either expected. They’ll clash and clash until they have no choice but to give in. And these guys don’t realize that giving in means adding their hearts to the mix. It’s clear as the story goes on that these two fit way better than anyone else that came before them. It’s a hard earned happily ever after for them and even by the end, their story feels like it’s only just beginning all over again! Can’t wait to check out the rest of this series.
