Here are 11 hockey romances (and series) that are straight, gay, teen, new adult, adult, sweet, sexy, sensual, funny, angsty and, above all, romantic.The first novel in a sexy series featuring the hockey players of the Brooklyn Bruisers and the women who win their hearts-from the USA Today bestselling author of the Ivy Years series. Also, don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself Googling ' hottest hockey players.' Who knew I could love hockey so much? Not too long ago, after having read a few hockey romances, I watched a professional hockey game on TV and actually understood what was going on (the big surprise was that I wanted to watch hockey at all.) So not only are hockey romances sexy and entertaining, they’re also educational. Hockey romances are rollercoaster rides of emotion, angst, sex, and hockey. Their rock-hard abbed exteriors hide smushy, gushy hearts and an endless supply of emotional baggage, and all they need is a good woman or man to make them whole and wholly themselves. This is what I’ve learned from reading this particular romance sub-genre: all hockey players are hot and the action off the ice is even hotter. Until two months ago, I’d never even picked up a hockey romance, but here I am going down the hockey-romance rabbit hole and loving it! Just in time for the NCAA Frozen Four and Stanley Cup playoffs: hockey-themed romances!
