Just Don't Fall
by Emma St. Clair
read by Emily Ellet, Jay Myers
Part 1 of the Appies Hockey Romance series
Before Logan Barnes was hockey's hottest bad boy, he was my brother's best friend … and my first crush. Oh, yeah--and the guy who ghosted me and broke my teenage heart.
Now Logan is back in Harvest Hollow, but not willingly. Recovering from an injury (and some bad press), he's stuck playing for our minor league team.
Which means I'll be working with him almost daily.
As the hockey team's social media manager, it's my job to wrangle all the guys into filming TikTok trending videos. But Logan doesn't want to be wrangled.
Turns out … neither does my heart.
Because my old crush never died.
And when Logan becomes my accidental fake boyfriend, those old feelings flare hot enough to melt the ice.
But this is all totally one-sided. Totally fake. Isn't it?
No matter what signals he seems to be giving me or how real things start to feel, I know Logan's not home for good.
I survived Logan leaving me once. But this time, I'm not so sure my heart will recover …

Romancing the Grump
by Jenny Proctor
read by Rock Engle, Katie Schorr
Part 4 of the Appies Hockey Romance series
He's a grump and happy to stay that way. But can her sunshine melt the ice around his heart?
Nathan Sanders didn't earn his reputation as the grouchiest player on the Appies hockey team by chance. So when Summer Callahan breezes into his life with her flirtatious smiles and endless charm, he responds like he always does: he completely ignores her.
Summer is intrigued by the surly defenseman, so when a viral social media post requires her to step in and fake it as Nathan's girlfriend, she jumps at the chance. She's convinced the ones with the hardest shells are often the softest underneath, and she's determined to prove it.
But Nathan doesn't crack so easily. Despite their obvious chemistry, he makes his lack of interest in a relationship-any relationship-perfectly clear. But the longer they pretend, the less fake everything seems, and the more Summer starts to fall.
She can only hope her fake relationship doesn't lead to real heartbreak.
Romancing the Grump is a closed-door, grumpy/sunshine, fake dating hockey romcom with heart and humor, sizzle but no spice. Perfect for fans of sports romance who want a little less heat.

Runaway Bride and Prejudice
by Emma St. Clair
read by Rock Engle, Emily Ellet
Part 5 of the Appies Hockey Romance series
There's one rule smart hockey players know not to break: never-and I mean never-date the coach's daughter. But no one ever accused Van of being smart.
When the mouthy bad boy of the Appies catches the groom cheating on the coach's daughter, he can't just walk away, not on her wedding day.
Maybe his own relationships are casual, but he would never cheat and never treat wedding vows so carelessly. Not after he and his sisters watched their divorced parents cycle through marriage after marriage.
But forcing the groom to come clean sets off a chain reaction Van couldn't have expected. Ending with a black eye, an unexpected trip to Florida with one runaway bride, and a secret bargain struck with Coach. A bargain that may just jeopardize the very real and very inconvenient feelings he's developing for the very last person he ever should.
Runaway Bride and Prejudice is a closed-door hockey romance featuring the team's bad boy and a very good girl who also happens to be the coach's daughter. It's a sports romance with all the sizzle and swoon but no spice. This is part of the Appies Hockey Romance series of standalones, which is best enjoyed in order.

When Alec Met Evie
by Jenny Proctor
read by Rock Engle, Emily Ellet
Part 6 of the Appies Hockey Romance series
Evie told herself not to fall for her pro hockey player crush. But when she sees him holding her baby girl, all bets are off.
When Evie moves south to the same mountain town where her childhood crush plays pro hockey, she arms herself with all the reasons why she can't fall for him again.
Number one: Alec is her best friend's much older brother.
Number two: She's recently divorced and does not need another man in her life. At least not anytime soon.
Number three: With a four-month-old daughter, she has zero time for dating.
Trouble is, Evie doesn't know another soul in North Carolina, so when her rental floods before she's even moved in, her only option is to crash with Alec for a few weeks. When she protests, he insists it's what he'd do for his sister, and that's basically what she is to him.
But all these years later, the unexpected chemistry between them definitely says otherwise.
A new relationship is risky when Evie is still licking her wounds from her divorce, and she has no idea if Alec has any desire to be a dad. His sister already warned her that he isn't the type to settle down.
But she can't make herself care about any of that. Not until she's already fallen, and it might be too late to save herself from another heartbreak.
When Alec Met Evie is a closed-door, best friend's brother, hockey rom-com with heart, humor, and sizzle but no spice. Perfect for fans of sports romance who want a little less heat.
