My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely LOVED, LOVED this book! It was one of my favorite rom-com reads of 2023 if not one of my all-time favorites.

I loved that the characters in the book were older. Olivia is a successful engineer and is now the owner of a thriving business she built on her own. While her professional life is moving along successfully, her personal life not so much. She is a hot mess, going through that lovely time in life called perimenopause. Now, she has to go to her ex’s wedding to a younger woman in Belize. Roman is a hockey player who has had a successful career, but now he is contemplating retiring but not sure of the changes that will bring to his life. Olivia’s daughter and Roman’s daughter are college roommates, and they decide to be matchmakers, setting up Roman to be Olivia’s fake boyfriend for the week. What begins as a fake relationship might just be the HEA neither one of them was expecting!!!

How could I not love both Olivia and Roman!!! Olivia is intelligent, and her inner beauty radiates from within making her beautiful…even though she doesn’t see it. Roman is about as close to perfect as any man can get. He is so attentive to Ollie, and he knows what she needs even when she doesn’t realize it. He boosts her self-esteem and just goes along with the hot flashes and insomnia. Like Ollie, he is at a point in his life wondering what the future holds. He hasn’t always been the best father to his daughter, but he is trying to make up for the past and embark on an even better relationship with her now. The two are such an amazing support to one another.

The book was very well-written, even down to the dialogue. The authors gave me quite a few laughs. I can totally empathize with night sweats, emotional rollercoasters, and hot flashes. There wasn’t too much angst or drama, and they built a great cast of secondary characters. I’m so glad to see that this is the beginning of a series. Thank you, ladies, for showing us age is just a number, and that you can find love at any age!!!!

I don’t know what I expected when I picked up this book but I was not disappointed. This book was such a good read

Olivia is attending her ex husbands wedding. In the effort of not showing up alone, her kids convince her she needs to take a fake date. She does no expect Roman. At all. Olivia just needs to remind herself that no matter how great it’s going, it’s not real. It can’t be. Or at least Olivia is sure it can’t be. As the week progresses, Olivia and Roman grow closer. What happens when the island vibes end and reality sneaks in?

Olivia is such a relatable character. I’m not sure I’ve read any other book where the heroine battles menopause and all of the things that come with it but it was so relatable and real. Both characters were very well written. I was pulled into the story and couldn’t put it down!

Oh my what an amazing first book! It’s so hard to be the bigger person when you’re going through menopause! This is the predicament Olivia finds herself in when she’s invited to her ex-husband’s wedding to his younger woman bride. But she is determined to be supportive of her children and the best for them so she goes. Of course taking a hockey player hottie as her date isn’t at all what anyone expected! The two actually connecting and supporting one another while falling for each other is just the present Olivia derserves from karma for all her rising above! This author combo team was amazing and I can’t wait to get the next book!!

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is the first book in the Hot Flash Hookups series by two wonderful authors. This is a RomCom that I absolutely loved reading. The characters are relatable, developed and creative and made the story super fun to read. The chemistry between Roman and Olivia is off the charts. Oliva gets invited to a wedding of her ex-husband and her children decide to set her up with a fake date named. Roman so she didn’t have to go alone. Roman is a Hockey player who so good with Olivia . He shows her that even later in live one can find what they thought they were missing. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this wonderful duo.

This book is hands down the best book I have read this year. The fact that the male and female main characters were both over 40 with meddling young adult kids made this story even more realistic to me. Going through menopause myself at 49, I really connect with Olivia (Ollie). Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart have teamed up and written what I think is a fabulous story.

This book was so well written, I had a hard time putting it down. I adore the main characters, Roman and Olivia, their banter throughout the book had me losing it and they are both so relatable. Olivia deals with menopause like a boss. Roman is making an effort to make up for all of those times he wasn’t there for his daughter. One thing is for sure, the heat and chemistry from these two was on point! I highly recommend.

Oh, my stars, this sure was funny! I can’t imagine having to attend my ex-husband’s wedding. But then again, my ex tied the knot the very day our divorce was final. I love how the main characters were both over forty. I mean, dating in your forties in nothing like dating in your twenties. Yup, it’s a veritable gold mine for book fodder.

This romance had me up all night as I read the entire story from cover to cover in the span of one night, it is that good! I was invested in Olivia, our main character, the divorced mom of two suffering from perimenopause, who just got invited to her ex-husband’s wedding to a much younger, gorgeous woman, on an island of all places! Olivia does not want to be caught dead at this wedding, let alone without a date. Unfortunately, her college-aged daughter has other plans for her mother, and works together with her best friend at college, and roommate, to set up her single dad with her friend’s single mom. Roman is a pro hockey player, close to retirement age, who has spent his life missing out on most of his daughter’s life activities due to all of the traveling a pro hockey player must do. Of course, he agreed to the plan of going on vacation with his daughter, even as her friend’s mom’s plus one, if that was what it took to spend quality time with his distanced college-aged daughter. What better combination than putting together a woman who is always experiencing hot flashes, with a pro hockey player who is used to working in the cold ice rink where he is constantly working up a sweat. Olivia needs fans around the clock in order to sleep, and Roman needs extra blankets to keep warm enough so he doesn’t freeze in the night. What happens when you put these two in a hotel room together for the weekend, with one bed?

This book was so well written, and the characters’ personalities were so opposite, it was awesome getting to read the story from each of the two main characters’ points of view as they struggled to survive the weekend together. I could feel the heat as these two kept admiring one another without the other being aware of the attraction between the two. It was quite hilarious knowing that each felt intimidated that the other was way above their game when in reality they were both very much single and interested in the other. I loved the setting in which this story takes place, showing how each character comes from such a different world, yet it goes to show that opposites most definitely attract. I am so excited to see the next book in the Hot Flashes series come out in 2024, if it’s anywhere close to this book, then it’s going to be a winner in my book!

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1)
by Marika Ray (Author), Sylvie Stewart (Author) is an amazing Hockey RomCom. Olivia and Roman are a hilarious duo and so relatable. This was my first book by either of these authors but it definitely wont be my last. If you like Fake Dating, Hockey Romance, Romantic Comedy, and Vacation Fling you will love this. But my favorite thing about this book was that the FMC was not a young girl. It was so refreshing to have an older and more relatable female lead. 5 Stars!

If you are looking for a delightfully fun Rom-Com with humor, great characters, romance and spice, then please grab this book.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart follow fun loving Olivia and her fake date, the hunky Roman. They were thrown together because her kids knew she needed a date to her ex husband’s wedding!

I’m a sucker for the fake relationship trope and this one sure did deliver. The chemistry between the two was palpable but it was how well rounded and fun they were that really drew me in. They are both going through a change that makes them realize that they arent getting any younger . The authors did an amazing job at helping them navigate this while still keeping the humor. I can’t wait to continue the series.

Happy Reading!

I absolutely loved Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes.
This book was such a great read from beginning to end. I loved how Olivia just doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She’s a middle aged divorced woman about to go to her ex husbands destination wedding. She doesn’t want to go but her daughter tells her she has to go. Her daughter Holly brings her roommate from college Hannah. The girls decide they will get someone to be Olivia’s pretend boyfriend for the wedding and Hannah decides to call her dad who hasnt exactly been a great dad to her thru the years. Roman decides to go but isn’t prepared for all things Olivia. She shows up in Belize and is nothing short of a hot mess. When she spots Roman and realizes he’s her fake boyfriend, she thinks about him getting his own room so she doesn’t need to share a bed with him. I loved Roman from the very beginning. Both Roman and Olivia have grown children who think they can parent their parents. Over the course of a week in Belize Roman and Olivia become close but that week is over before neither is ready for it to be over. With Roman being a professional hockey player in Tampa and Olivia being a successful business woman in North Carolina, there’s no way for either of them to bring up their feelings without getting heartbroken. Will one of them take the leap and voice their feelings or will they just say good bye with hopes to maybe run into eachother when they visit their daughters at school? Definitely loved Olivia and her don’t care attitude and Roman….he is the perfect guy. He has no problems voicing his opinions and he is isn’t scared of Olivia even with her hot flashes and attitude. Definitely enjoyed this read.

4.5 Stars

 

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is the first book in the new Hot Flash Hookups series by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart. This is a fun contemporary romantic comedy with a fake dating element, OWYM, holiday hookup, forced proximity, only one bed, meddling family, reverse age gap, menopausal mischief, chemistry, funny quips, banter, one-liners, antics, family dynamics, drama, emotion, angst, and wonderful characters.
When Olivia has to attend the wedding of her ex-husband, her meddling children organise a ’fake date’ for her. Roman isn’t what she expected at all. A pro hockey player with more than just his looks and hockey skills going for him. What happens makes for a really fun and memorable read. The story was so entertaining, and I enjoyed every second between these covers.
These two authors have come up with a magic recipe here and I can’t wait to continue this madcap romp of a series. Bring on Book #2.I really recommend this book, and I can’t wait to continue with the series.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Sylvie Stewart & Marika Ray!

This was a great 5 star read. I love these two authors together. I had several LOL moments and I can relate to the hot flashes. Olivia quickly became a favorite character for me and Roman wowza. Roman was perfect for Olivia, I loved the bantering between them and the things Olivia would sass back to him. You could feel the connection between these two coming off the pages. The authors pull you in with their writing and you feel like you’re right there with the characters. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I can’t wait to read more from this series and the authors. 1-click and get started today.

This was a fun and quick read! Olivia has been invited to her ex husband’s wedding in Belize. She is feeling frumpy with twenty extra pounds, not very confident, and also perimenopausal. But she decides to go to support her kids. Holly, her daughter and Hannah, her new college roommate, think it is a good idea to set her up with a fake date for the wedding week. Roman, Hannah’s dad, is a professional hockey player and the oldest player in the league. He would do anything for Hannah since he has been absent for a lot of her childhood while on the road, so he says yes. The week in Belize is amazing, the walks, the sunsets, the laughter, and even the romance. I loved the characters, I loved the idea and story line, I loved the location, and I didn’t want it to end! It was nice to read a romance book where the characters were not in their twenties and have lived some life. I devoured this book in a day and will now be looking up the rest of the books written by these authors!

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1) by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart. This book is hilarious and I could relate with the hot flashes 100%. Its the story of Olivia who is going thru Perimenopause and has been invited to her Ex’s destination wedding. She can’t go single without looking like a loser so her daughter sets her up with her friends dad. Its just supposed to be a pretend date though. Roman is a a professional hockey player and will do anything in his power to make his daughter happy so when she asks him to pretend to be her best friends date he’s all for it. He has issues with women in his past so he’s not looking for a relationship so this will be easy. Or so he thinks! The more time they spend together and the more chaos they find sparks fly between them. This is such a funny, romance about a 40 something woman and all the challenges that age brings. I laughed out loud several times!

This book is everything you could want from a fake romance story. And for me, it was made even better by the fact that that main character was aliggtly older. The whole book was full of laughter. It was entertaining, fun and had two great characters.
Sylvie Stewart is an author I am very familiar with however, Marika Ray is a new author me. Reading her work in a collaboration like this is a great introduction. Their combines writing style pulled me into the story effortlessly and I already know I will be reading more. What a great start to a new series. Bring on Book 2!

This is the first book in this new series for these authors. What a great start it is and I look forward to seeing what is next in this series. This is a well written story that is full of romance and steam. If you enjoy reading a single dad, hockey player romance story, this book is for you. The characters pulled me in from the start. They are connectable and I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry. Their story is what happens when a hockey player and a fake date come together into something they never see coming. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. An easy romance story to read that is engaging and one that kept me turning pages to the end. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

This is a very cute romantic comedy that will have you swooning for the MMC and commiserating with the FMC all while laughing out loud. Olivia has been invited to her ex-husband’s wedding (to a much younger woman) and her kids decide to set her up on a fake date with aging hockey star, Roman, so that she doesn’t have to attend the event (in Belize, no less) alone. We get to follow along between Olivia and Roman (it’s a dual perspective…YAY!) from beginning, middle, and end as the adventure happens. It’s a super cute story and I love the way the authors work together to create a seamless tale of life, love, and happily-ever-after.

This is one of the funniest rom-com’s I’ve read this year. They had me laughing so hard. Roman is the kind of man many of us that are perimenopausal or post-menopausal want. He was taking her to the spa and doing all these nice things and he loves his daughter. He’s my kind of man, especially in a hot flash. I loved the story. I loved the characters. Evie is a beautiful bff to have. She had her back. Great book and I enjoyed every minute of it. I cannot wait for the next one.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is a steamy Romantic Comedy and the first book in the Hot Flash Hookups series by two wonderful authors Marika Ray & Sylvie Stewart.
I love that older women and life changes are being written about and these two do it so well. I found myself laughing out loud at the banter between all the characters. It had me eagerly turning the pages as we journey along to one woman’s plight and a new chapter in her life.
What could be more fun than menopause, a wedding, a tropical island, a fake sexy date, and some flirty and sexy times. It certainly wasn’t on her radar.
The heat is definitely turned up in this feel-good tale. The story is well paced, and the characters are well developed, honest and very realistic that I could totally relate to. It is told in several POV’s, which I love. It is a little quirky and the characters will find their way into your heart.
Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is funny and full of witty banter and will definitely leave you with a light heart and a smile on your face.
If you are looking for a great story full of drama, romance, love and laughter then look no further.

He’s a hot, shirtless hockey player…and he’s my fake date for my ex-husband’s wedding. Talk about a hot flash to beat all hot flashes.

The wedding bells are ringing and my ex-husband is the groom! When my grown kids hook me up with a fake date to my ex-hubby’s tropical island nuptials, I expect sun, sand, and plenty of fruity cocktails—not steamy nights with a shirtless pro hockey player!

Roman might be all swagger on the ice, but this growly, egotistical male model of perfection has a soft side too. While I battle dresses made for twenty-somethings, awkward run-ins with my ex, and unwelcome hot flashes, Roman is there to distract me with flirty compliments, stay up late with me when I can’t sleep, and make me feel vibrant and ageless.

As good as it feels, none of this is real, and Roman is way out of my league. Who’s going to believe this gorgeous, famous, muscle-bound athlete would ever date a scatterbrained, hot-flashing, insomniac nerd with twenty stubborn extra pounds around the middle?

But as the big day approaches, we grow closer. Wedding activities lead to beach walks at sunset, and his oh-so-talented fingers twist my hormones up in a whole new way. Gazing into Roman’s eyes, I start to wonder if he could be my shot at a real happily ever after.

That’s the thing about vacations, though; at some point, you need to return to reality. 

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is a single dad pro hockey romance with plenty of spice and a game-winning HEA. It’s the first book in the Hot Flash Hookups series, and can be read as a standalone.

Tropes:

growly alpha hero

menopausal woman at her ex husband’s wedding

slow burn

one bed

pro hockey

forced proximity/fake wedding date

He’s a hot, shirtless hockey player…and he’s my fake date for my ex-husband’s wedding. Talk about a hot flash to beat all hot flashes.

The wedding bells are ringing and my ex-husband is the groom! When my grown kids hook me up with a fake date to my ex-hubby’s tropical island nuptials, I expect sun, sand, and plenty of fruity cocktails—not steamy nights with a shirtless pro hockey player!

Roman might be all swagger on the ice, but this growly, egotistical male model of perfection has a soft side too. While I battle dresses made for twenty-somethings, awkward run-ins with my ex, and unwelcome hot flashes, Roman is there to distract me with flirty compliments, stay up late with me when I can’t sleep, and make me feel vibrant and ageless.

As good as it feels, none of this is real, and Roman is way out of my league. Who’s going to believe this gorgeous, famous, muscle-bound athlete would ever date a scatterbrained, hot-flashing, insomniac nerd with twenty stubborn extra pounds around the middle?

But as the big day approaches, we grow closer. Wedding activities lead to beach walks at sunset, and his oh-so-talented fingers twist my hormones up in a whole new way. Gazing into Roman’s eyes, I start to wonder if he could be my shot at a real happily ever after.

That’s the thing about vacations, though; at some point, you need to return to reality. 

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is a single dad pro hockey romance with plenty of spice and a game-winning HEA. It’s the first book in the Hot Flash Hookups series, and can be read as a standalone.
