Could've Fooled Me by Jenny Proctor

 

One of my favorite romance troupes is marriage-of-convenience which isn't super common in contemporary romance but throw in hockey and a former Apies player as the hero I'm hooked. I also wondered what had, had happened to Carter and his twin.  Could've fooled Me answers that one.   Carter's such a sweetheart and Sarah just loves her family, though I have to say I can't believe her brother did what he did.  Though one of my micro troupes is when the heroine doesn't like hockey and ends up dating a hockey player or in Sarah's case married.  And I'm also here for the brother bond the hockey players have on and off the ice. And hockey fan me loved the reference to my real life favorite player.

I liked that this one was one of Jenny's more serious books but her trade mark humor was still there. I also found myself relating to Sarah with the mom aspect. When you and the heroine belong to the same club no wants to belong to it’s hard not to relate and love her. Carter might be a tough hockey player on the ice but he's really a cinnamon roll. My favorite hockey rom com hero tough on the ice and a cinnamon roll with her.

One more made up Love Song by Jenny Proctor review

 

I loved Ivy from the moment I started One more made up love song. And after Once Upon a boy band Freddie to a little bit to warm up but once I did I loved his character. I was a sucker for the banter between them. I also enjoyed the fake relationship aspect of this one because Jenny Proctor is awesome at writing them. And I have to say I thought she handled what Ivy went through before book and the after in the book was tact and grace.  I feel like I’m the only person my age who never got the whole boy band fandom. But I still enjoyed this book.

When Alec Met Evie by Jenny Proctor review

Title:  When Alec Met Evie 

Author: Jenny Proctor 

Ch: 30 plus epilogue 

Pg: 331

Series: Appies 6 

Genre:Rom Com, Hockey Rom Com 

Rating: 5 stars 

Publisher: Indie 

Never thought a hockey rom com would make me cry but When Alec Met Evie but did. I didn’t think any Appie could replace Felix as my favorite, but Alec did. I mean what’s not to love about a hockey defenseman captain who’s a cinnamon roll off the ice and loves his family. And apparently I’m a sucker for a hockey player holding a baby. 

Alec has always seen Evie as his little sisters best friend until new in town and needed a place for her and her infant daughter to stay. Alec offers up his house and ends up falling hard.  

This one made me laugh and cry because both Alec and Evie are at a crossroads with choice that will change their future. I mean I got teary eyed throughout but it was chapter 29 that had me bawling. 

Alec and Evie’s story was sweet and this was one a great end to the Appies series.  The Appies aren’t just teammates their brothers. 

Romancing the Grumpy by Jenny Proctor review

Title: Romancing The Grump

Author: Jenny Proctor

Ch: 26 plus epilogue

Pg:358

Series: Appies 4

Genre: Rom Com

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: indie

I never thought that any of the Appies would replace Flexi as my favorite. But that was until I read Romancing the Grump and met grumpy Nathan Sanders. Grumpy sunshine has always been one of my favorite tropes. But Nathan was more than just a grumpy hockey player. And of course, Summer’s the exact opposite of him making the banter awesome.

I mean as a rom com you know how it ends but the fun is the journey the characters take to get there. And it doesn’t hurt that he loves his family. Nathan really is a grump with a heart of gold.

Title: Absolutely Not in Love

Author: Jenny Proctor

Ch: 23 plus epilogue

Pg: 326

Series: Sweater Weather 7

Genre: Rom Com

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Jenny Proctor Creative

Just when I thought that Colby Knight from Flirtation or Faceoff by Leah Brunner would be my favorite fictional hockey player. Jenny Proctor writes Felix Jamison. I mean who does love a guy who can play hockey, cook reads and loves classical music. He’s the swoonist hero in the sweater weather series.
