My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by these authors, and it blew me away! After seeing the cute cover, I had a feeling I would pick it up. I love that they put the tropes up front because I knew I was in for a good read after seeing them. I won’t give anything away, but it was truly refreshing to find that this was not a typical sports romance book. Kaitlyn is a force to be reckoned with which had me hooked instantly. Banks had me flustered at first, but after awhile I found a soft spot for him. Don’t let the cover fool you, there are some spicy scenes in this book that will surprise you (in a good way). I loved their chemistry, their banter, and the forbidden romance of it all. I finished this in one day because I couldn’t get enough! If you are looking for a funny and steamy sports romance, look no further than this. I highly recommend picking it up and giving it a chance!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a fun Rom-Com with humor, a strong female character, romance, and spice, then please grab this book.

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart follows hockey agent Kaitlyn and Hockey superstar Banks as they went from an instant connection in an airport to becoming enemies and rivals. As they find a way to work together, that fire starts to come back. Will they skate away together or melt the ice?

I love the enemies to lovers trope and this one delivered. The chemistry between the two was palpable, but it was how well rounded and fun they were that really drew me in. The banter kept a smile on my face until the last page.

The authors did an amazing job at presenting the dilemmas the characters faced while still keeping the humor. Hot Flashes, mood Swings and love…oh my. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to continue the series.

Happy Reading!

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings
3.5

I really enjoyed this from the standpoint of the characters are facing new life scenarios, they are older. It was refreshing not to have a prime twenty something but characters that appeal to another generation.
At times this book lost my attention briefly but there were also parts where I was all in and couldn’t put it down.

Kaitlyn with a K is good at what she does but second guesses herself and worries too much about what other people think. Don’t we all?!?!

Hot Shot or Ben or Banks depending on the day is a hockey star that seems to be up shits creek due to age but can he salvage his career with the help of the right agent?

Is it a coincidence that the lady he met in the airport is the women he needs ten years later?!?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kaitlyn is a sports agent in a man’s world of hockey, and has to be as badass as it sounds like she does to deal with the alpha males in the sport. She started in football under a highly misogynistic male boss, Ed, but put up with all the comments and BS associated with women in a men’s highly competitive sport because she knew she wanted to end up being an agent with her own company.

As she is rushing through the airport to meet up with her first hockey player who took a shot on her, she meets an insanely attractive man named Ben at the airport bar and they had a great day eating grilled cheese sandwiches and sitting next to one another on the flight. They both walked away with many secrets they didn’t share and many thoughts of one another into the following day – when Kaitlyn meets Banks on the ice as she meets the team of her new athlete. Things go from having great chemistry, a lot of fun and positive thoughts to quickly making enemies of one another. They spend the next decade absolutely devastating each other with the horrible burns they dish out when they aren’t totally ignoring and avoiding each other.

10 years later, Kaitlyn has 3 players on the team, Banks is the oldest player at 38 with bad habits that make him look like he doesn’t take his job seriously, contract negotiations in the very near future and a retiring agent who has dropped him. The retiring agent just so happens to be Ed, and Kaitlyn is offered the suggestion of picking up Banks so he can finish his career with a bang. In addition to making herself look like a goddess in the world of agents, she also would get to make Ed look bad, negotiate a ton of money for making Banks look great, and offer herself a challenge in the meantime. While it takes a touch of work and help from his best friend, Banks takes Kaitlyn up on her offer.

The 2 have incredible chemistry, incredible dislike for one another, a passion for hockey and an absolutely hilarious cast of characters that offer laugh out loud fun for this super quick read. I planned to read a bit at a time but I couldn’t put this book down and finished it within a day. Absolutely recommend. Fantastic fun, funny and steamy read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Banks and Killer Kaitlyn are a power couple, except they are not a couple in that sense of the word. They are beautiful, funny, sexy and flawed and determined. However, time is ticking for them both. Banks is aging and his hockey career is in jeopardy and for Kaitlin, she is aging and her hopes of becoming a mother are slipping away as her eggs begin to become “seasoned”. Working together may get Banks the deal of a lifetime, but can they also make Kaitlin’s dreams come true.

As a hockey fan, the references to the game and the players’ positions were spot on. Being of the perimenopausal group, those symptoms are spot on as well!

So glad this is a series! Looking forward to reading more hockey stories!

This was my first hockey romance and I’m glad I jumped on the band wagon. This was a steamy, enemies to lovers, slow burn. With a meet cute in the beginning.

Kaitlyn assigns herself as Banks’ new agent to try and save his career, which is plummeting due to his age and other agents dropping him. They agree to work together to get back at his old agent, who Kaitlyn also has a connection to. Over ten years, there’s a lot of tension and built up grumpiness from both sides, but once Banks shows who he really is under his tough exterior and they stop trying to push each other away, they both end up falling. Great characters, great banter.

I was already a fan of Sylvie Stewart, so when I saw this come out I knew I had to grab a copy. She and Marika Ray did a fantastic job. Will definitely be reading the others in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first book in the series was a delightful read, and this one was even more enjoyable. I found myself completely immersed in the story, eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next. It was a truly satisfying experience.

Banks and Kaitlyn met at the airport 10 years ago and shared a sweet, memorable flight together. Little did they know they would meet again, and a misunderstanding would color their relationship for the next decade. Gone was the sweetness and bitterness, and possibly hate replaced it. Now, all they do is snipe at one another.

Banks is the oldest player on his hockey team, and his reputation isn’t the greatest either. He has just been dropped by his agent and desperately needs another one before he is traded. It looks like his old enemy, Kaitlyn, holds his fate in her hands. If anyone can turn his reputation around and make him into “the golden boy,” it’s her. She also wants to stick it to Banks’s ex-agent as he is her old boss and always treats her differently because she is a woman. Can they put aside their differences for their common goal? What’s with the annoying attraction they are beginning to feel for each other?

I was deeply moved by Banks and Kaitlyn’s journey. They were a couple in the making, even if they were oblivious to it. The realization that their past misunderstanding had clouded their perceptions of each other was a poignant moment. Banks was not the immature ‘man child’ she had labeled him, and she was not the ‘ice queen’ he had believed her to be. Their gradual falling in love was a beautifully crafted slow burn that I couldn’t help but root for.

As I said, I’m a huge fan of this series This fabulous writing team keeps getting better! They created a great pair of main characters and a hilarious cast of secondary ones. I can’t wait to see what the next book holds.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in the Hot Flash Hookups Series. I loved the first book and this one was just as good. This is a sports romcom with a enemies to lovers theme. What I love about these books is the authors writing of the characters. The banter between them had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. I also love how the female lead are of an older age and going through menopause and all the joys that women go through around that time. It really makes the characters feel human and relatable.

This is Banks and Kaitlyn’s story. When a chance meeting and a delay at an airport put Kaitlyn and Banks together there was no denying the chemistry and attraction between them. But with them going their seperate ways thats the end of their connection right?
So imagine Kaitlyn’s surprise when the hockey player she is representing turns out to play in the same team as Banks
Kaitlyn knows she needs to remain professional at all costs. And the animosity between them gradually grows.
Fast forward and Banks finds himself in need of a new agent. Kaitlyn is definitely the woman he needs to turn his career around but can they work together to achieve that or will the animosity that’s build up between them cause more issues?
As well as fighting her attraction to a guy she can not have Kaitlyn is also suffering with symptoms of perimenopuase. With all this going on does she even stand a chance of sorting this man-baby out? And what happens when temptation becomes to much will they give in to it?

This is book two of the series and I did read read book one but this can be read as a standalone. I love hockey so I knew I would like them howeber you dont even need to like it. These books have hockey, laughter, romance and conflict. Ben & Kaitlyn hit it off it at the airport but once they see each other on the ice , are they sure they can get along and nake it work.

I am never one to turn down a sweet hockey romance. Mood Swings and Hockey Flings was definitely entertaining and worth the read. Kaitlyn with a K and Banks kept the pace moving right along and eventually made it to their happy ending. There were some snags along the way, but they were all worth it.

What a fun read! I like to mix up genres when I finish a book that is longer. This book was the perfect change of pace for me. I loved that the author wrote a bit about the history between Kaitlyn and Banks so we have an idea about the dynamic between them. As we meet them again 10 years later, the two of them are finding out more about each other than they ever expected as Kaitlyn takes Banks on as a client! How will these strong willed professionals finally find what they have been searching for? The author did a wonderful job world and character building. I will be checking out more books by this author. I connected with both Kaitlyn and Banks as they go through the ups and downs of relationships.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mood Swings & Hockey Flings is a sports romance with some animosity and passion. A slight second chance. The author gives you two characters that had a wonderful “meet cute” yet quickly had a misunderstanding that changed things for them.
Banks has always been slightly troubled in his hockey career. Yet a chance meeting with a beautiful woman at the airport he was willing to change things about himself. What he didn’t expect was that woman to show up at his practice and she wasn’t who she seemed. Now that he’s older and has been dumped by another agent, this woman is his only hope of not only continuing his career but with his current team.
Yet can he trust her?
What about the attraction he has for her?
Kaitlin is out to prove herself. Prove that she doesn’t only know football by moving into the hockey world. A sports agent with a passion that’s being held back by her boss. Unfortunately she runs into one of the hockey players on a flight down to her new client. He seemed great but later proved himself otherwise. Now there’s everlasting animosity between them. Yet they travel in the same circles so are constantly crossing paths. Now he needs her more than he realizes. Not only that but gives them both a chance to stick it to her previous boss.
However, what happens when she truly gets to know them?
Can they keep things strictly professional or will feelings become an issue?
I already stated it’s a romance but nothing is ever cut and dry. These two characters have so much to give to anyone. However they both get in their own way. They are stubborn. Yet they both care deeply for those that mean something to them.
If that’s the type of book you’re looking for, it’s up to you to jump right in. I can guarantee it won’t be disappointing. Just trust me!

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings was a great read. I loved reading about Ben / Banks and Kaitlyn.
Those two met at an airport
about 10 years ago and had no idea who the other person was. They were both attracted to eachother but Kaitlyn has a one track mind and her job is the most important thing on her life. Meeting a hot guy and learning he’s a hockey player, makes her angry. They did alot of flirting at the airport and on the plane but, Kaitlyn is a different person in
Work mode. Banks and Kaitlyn grow to dislike eachother more then you would think even though they secretly have some hidden feelings.
Now 10 years later, Kaitlyn is asked by Roman to
Be Ben’s agent. Both Ben and Kaitlyn are against it
But, Ben needs the best of the best and that’s her. But what will happen when they start spending alot of time together? Can Kaitlyn stay strong and deflect the blue eyed, gorgeous guy she has spent 10 years avoiding? Or is it inevitable ? These two are both such strong characters but, Ben is willing to put everything aside for a chance with Kaitlyn to see what happens. Kaitlyn knows it will
Be career suicide being she’s a hockey agent, he’s a hockey player and the cherry on top is…..he’s her client !

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings is an enemies-to-lovers romance. Kaitlyn is a sports agent breaking into the hockey scene. On her way to meet her first client, her flight is delayed and she ends up having a great conversation with the man at the bar. They flirt, even on the flight, and at the end they part ways with no contact. However, to her surprise, he is a hockey player on the same team as her client and she gets mad because he has “lied” about who he was. Banks “Benny” Bennet is a professional hockey player but is known as the bad boy, who cares-type of player who is getting up there in age. After his and Kaitlyn’s meet cute, they end up as enemies and now 10 years have gone by. At this point, they claim to hate each other but have some residual sexual tension from 10 years ago. Banks is now looking for a new agent and Kaitlyn is persuaded into helping him. Through this “arrangement,” they start to learn more and more about each other and see that there is more to the story. Will they be able to cross these boundaries to satisfy what has been hanging over their heads for so long? Is this possible “arrangement” worth both of their careers?
I really enjoyed this story. Kaitlyn is a badass woman rocking it in a man’s world. She is respected but also hated for her position in the league. She had many sides to her character and I enjoyed all of them. As for Banks, OMG I just fell in love with him. The way he handled all the things that came his way (especially when they were not true) was just amazing. He is misunderstood, manly, gently, and hiding a really big heart. I just really enjoyed learnig about him and seeing his character develop throughout the story. In the end, he is just a down right good man who wants to protect what he wants, but learns that consequences occur, but sometimes it is totally worth it!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hot Flash Hookups book series is one that I adore reading! The authors do an amazing job of creating a great storyline with characters that you would not normally think to pair together. One of the main characters is a hockey player, and the other is usually a strong woman who knows exactly what she wants but not what she needs in her life. Mood Swings and Hockey Flings is no exception to this amazing formula that truly works, and it works well. I had a good laugh as I read about our main female stressing over possibly being in perimenopause, especially when the doctor let her know she may still have a good 10 years of fertility left before menopause kicks in. To our main character, this means that her eggs are all drying up, and she needs to get pregnant ASAP, despite how busy she is working as an agent to hockey players. Our main male character falls hard for his new agent, with whom he has been having a love/hate relationship for the past 10 years. His agent has been hiding her feelings for her client through a love/hate relationship herself. Throughout the story you get to see the point of view of both main characters and follow along as they work through their client/agent relationship, all the while fighting against their attraction for one another. There’s a fine line that shouldn’t be crossed, but what is more important, a career or finding your soul mate? What a sweet romance this story was, filled with dilemmas that our main characters must work through, including not allowing their impressions of one another to shadow the real characters of our main people. I love that we got to continue along with Olivia and Roman’s love story from the first book while following along with Ben and Kaitlyn’s story in this new book. I cannot wait to see who gets featured in the third book in this series. I am so invested in reading more about the development between each of our couples we’ve met so far.

Kaitlyn and Ben (aka Banks) met 10 years ago…and they did not leave on good terms. Since then, Banks has been busy on the ice while Kaitlyn is working hard to become a top agent. So, when Banks’ current agent drops him, these two find themselves having to work together. Kaitlyn wants to clean up his image, get him a great deal, and be done with the whole thing. However, there seems to be more behind the image that Banks portrays and she is finding it hard to resist. Ben realizes that Kaitlyn is not the cold-hearted ice queen that she is made out to be and finds himself being able to think of anything except her.

The banter between these two is what kept me turning the pages. Kaitlyn is making her way in a world dominated by men…while also dealing with the onslaught of premenopausal hormones. Ben is constantly trying to overcome his poor choices while fighting these feelings he is having for Kaitlyn. I was cheering Kaitlyn on as she was making her mark on what most consider to be a man’s world. There is steam, witty banter, romance, and of course some hockey!

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings (Hot Flash Hookups Series) by Sylyvie Stewart and Marika Ray – Review by Jessica Stone

Oh man! This book was so fun, so total transparency, I have not read the previous book in this series, but rest assured after getting a few chapters in I, to my complete delight discovered this book could in fact be read alone. And I’m so glad it could, this was my first hockey rom com and it felt soooo good! I’m so excited to dive into this series more and into this genre more.

The chemistry between the two main characters was absolutely palpable, tension so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. Let’s start of with Kaitlyn with a K, I was a bit worried she was going to be a soulless, work to live live to work type, but I was so happy to get to know the girl underneath her stone cold facade. And I fully squealed when she got her HEA.

Now Ben, or should I set Bennett, oh boy, I think I’ve loved him since the moment i read him penned on those pages. His sense of humor and general nonchalance is weirdly endearing. I loved his character arc, and his final admirable to his feelings, his character blossomed SO hard in this book. And it was everything i needed.

So throw these two interesting characters together in a force proximity/reluctance situation and you get pure magic. Add a splash of hockey, the love of the game, rivalry, heavy atmosphere, and it’s complete as one of the best rom com’s I’ve read in a good while.

This is the first book that I have read for these authors and I absolutely loved it. I love a good sports romance but this story exceeded my expectations. This is the second book of the very addictive hot flash hookup series. You will fall in love with these characters right from the start. They had me laughing out loud with their banter. It only took me a little over a day to read this amazing enemy to lover story. I can’t wait to see who they will write about next.

Kaitlyn worked very hard to get where she is now. She is a new hockey agent and she can’t wait to meet her team. Kaitlyn is waiting for her flight but then a very handsome man comes and sits next to her. They get to know each other and hope to see him again. She is in shock that her mystery guy is a hockey player for the team she came for. Kaitlyn feels so betrayed that she doesn’t talk to Bennet again. Ten years later she is told that she has to be Bennet Bank’s new agent and she loves a challenge. She knows what she needs to do to help his and her career but will they be able to be a good team or will they rip each other apart?

I loved this very relatable story of the relationship between Ben “banks” Bennet and Kaitlyn with a K.

They meet by chance at an airport catching the same plane and by coincidence their lives are intertwined due to professional Hockey…. Kaitlyn becomes Banks agent but the lines become blurred and the attraction wins…

Very steamy sex scenes and certainly a page turner.

I have loved this series so far!! I think it is because I connect to the characters a little more as they are older, like me (45 *gasp*). I really enjoyed book one and couldn’t wait to hear another story in this hockey world. Banks and Kaitlyn’s story is an enemies to lovers with all the feels. Ben and Kaitlyn mee at the airport one evening and hit it off, only to learn that Banks (aka Ben) is a hockey player on the same team as a young player she is an agent for. Banks makes a comment that he thinks is funny and Kaitlyn takes it the wrong way and they become enemies. Ten years later and now Banks is looking for a new agent as he is nearing the end of his career and she decides to help him out to make her ex-boss look bad. This book is funny, full of banter between characters, some really sweet moments as we get to know Banks better, and a peek into Kaitlyn’s past too. Kaitlyn is trying to make him look good, going through some major mood swings, and trying to stop herself from falling for him. This is a fun, fast paced, story with s sweet romance and a bit of spice. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

MOOD SWINGS AND HOCKEY FLINGS (HOT FLASH HOOKUPS BOOK 2)

There are so many little things about this book I loved, starting with how Banks and Kaitlyn met. At an airport over grilled cheese sounds like a great way to start off. If only their relationship had been as simple as their initial meeting.

Ten years changes so much, but there are also so many things that haven’t changed. Banks is still in the NHL and Kaitlyn is an amazing sports agent. Their paths have crossed several time over the years, but nothing like now that Banks is in need of an agent.

We learn dark secrets about each of them and I was totally not expecting the big secret Banks was hiding.

Once again I was thoroughly entertained by Ms. Stewart and Ms. Ray’s book. Looking to the third book and seeing who is next. I have my money on one particular couple and really hope I’m right.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Banks Bennet is a hockey star that has a bad boy persona and Kaitlyn has now become his new agent. For one small moment Banks and Kaitlyn share banter, chemistry and the promise of what could have been. That is until Banks realizes who Kaitlyn is then an acrimonious relationship begins. That is until the agent and hockey player become a team, then the intensity between the two becomes two much to ignore can the two find that they are just the right fit for one another?

Delightful, pure fun. The attraction is sizzling between Banks and Kaitlyn. Page turning entertainment, I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to see what is next in this series.

I loved the chemistry in this book. It had great witty banter between the sassy Kaitlyn and the snarky Ben. I enjoyed them unraveling each other’s personalities they keep hidden. This book was well written.

Book 2 did not disappoint and was just as fantastic as book 1 in this series. Ben and Kaitlyn make a great duo in this story. Once again the authors nailed the hockey and sports storyline and this time, with the added element of a female sports agent. Lots of hilarious moments but also a blend of many other emotions, too. I cannot wait for book 3. Another very successful romantic comedy book for Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart.

This is the second book in the Hot Flash Hookups Series. This book was just as good as the first one. A chance meeting in an airport bar finds Kaitlyn and Ben attracted and flirting with each other. Until she finds out he is on the team with her newest client. That is when the drama starts and the love hate relationship starts. This is a great enemies to lovers story. The characters are all so fantastic.

Amazing!!! I couldn’t stop once I got into it. It was so “real” and represented a lot of today’s issues in relationships, our past experiences still haunting us! The character development along with relationship dynamics and growth were fun to read, and kept you reading intrigued to see how it plays out. Hoping she writes about other characters love stories now… especially Niko & Chloe… highly recommend this
