My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is book 3 in the series. Each book can be read as a standalone however, it’s best to read in order so you don’t have any spoilers from previous books.

This books is about Coach Bowman’s adult daughter Chloe Cooper who recently became a widow and the best goalie ever who is currently with the Storm Chasers Nikolai ( Niko ) Drugov. Nikolai is going thru a rough custody battle with his ex wife over their daughter Ayana. He currently needs to find a nanny to show he has proper childcare for her. Chloe and Niko shared one kiss on Toronto which could’ve led to more if he didn’t get a call from his lawyer.

Niko didn’t know she was coaches daughter until they get back home but they seem friendly enough and she offers to help him out as his nanny until he finds someone he trusts to care for Ayana. She ends up being a live-in nanny when there is a flood at her place.
Of course she keeps flirting with him but he does well keeping his distance until he can’t take it anymore. They both agree it will be casual and nothing serious.

Both are on board with that until one of them isn’t. Will they be able to remain friends when Chloe moves back into her place or will they grow apart and regret their time together. Another great read in this series. Cannot wait for more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging romantic comedy which kept me happily turning the pages. When pro hockey player Niko shares a passionate kiss with Chloe in a crowded bar, he didn’t know she was his coach’s daughter. However, having realised she’s off limits it’s proving harder than he thought to resist her. Nico is embroiled in a custody battle for his young daughter as well as coming to the end of his hockey career. Meanwhile, Chloe is a widow who is starting a new chapter in her life, whilst trying to ignore the annoying signs of impending middle age. Having decided to focus on fun and adventures she continues to flirt with Niko and show him her own impressive hockey skills. Chloe becomes Niko’s daughter’s nanny when he needs to prove to the judge that he can take care of her. With Chloe moving in and filling the house with her vibrant personality and fun energy, she’s soon winning over both Nico and his daughter. I loved the likeable and relatable Chloe and Niko and their chemistry sizzled off the page, leading to some steamy scenes! I loved the developing relationship between Chloe and Niko’s daughter. It was particularly nice to read a romance where the main character, Chloe is in her 40’s and slightly perimenopausal, as this made her a very realistic character, and one who I could relate to.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been seeing this series circulate my social media pages and book review group, but I thought that it wouldn’t be of interest to me because of the age group targeted, and myself not having anything experience wise to relate at all, but how wrong I was. I ended up picking up another Marika Ray Novel, and I loved it, so when I saw this book come up again I immediately wanted to read it. I now have to play catch up with book 1 and book 2. I started with book 3, and while there were references to previous books in the series and the characters were the same, the main characters were the focus of the story, I still would recommend reading the books in order, although I didn’t feel lost or anything, I definitely felt like I was missing out on vital information. Night Sweats and Hockey Mets has a few familiar tropes such as grumpy/sunshine, the ever popular hockey star, both parties fight their attraction, single dad needs a nanny, but also some fresher tropes as well like characters over 40, plus size and confident, etc. Between Nikos random Russian sayings, and Chloe’s confident flirting I found myself laughing out loud at the banter between the characters. I also found myself truly not enjoying Peyton and her attitude. This was a wonderful read, a fun, cozy romance, and you can’t go wrong with a Marika Ray novel and now I’ve been introduced to a new author, Sylvie Stewart, as well.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups #3)Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Niko is a loner on his pro hockey team and never really associates with the other guys on the team. Chloe is the coaches daughter who had decided she was tired of missing out on life and wants to have fun while also using her talents in the rink to teach kids how to play hockey. Part of her choice of having fun includes flirting, heavily, with Niko. While coach has deemed her off limits, Niko can’t seem to help himself when it comes to her charm and beauty.

Chloe is drawn to Niko’s grumpy personality, and when she finds out part of his grump factor comes from being in the midst of a court battle for custody of his daughter, she offers to help. The offer comes just as he needs to find a nanny for his daughter Ayana to prove to the court that he can provide proper care for her with his professional hockey schedule. So, before they know they have too much time to think about it, Niko and Chloe come up with a plan and Chloe moves in with Niko and Ayana. Before he knows it, Niko’s house has been taken over by Chloe’s beauty, warmth and personality. The rest of this wonderfully written story is a whirlwind of chemistry, spice and ends with a wonderful HEA.

This is book 3 in a series but can be read as a standalone.

This is a very easy fun read to occupy your mind from the reality of life. It does have humorous parts, and some seriousness to the story. The author does well in having the main characters, and even the minor ones, complement each other really well. I love how the other characters in the previous books are intertwined in this book, however little it may be. Overall, it’s a very great read.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is the third book in the Hot Flash Hookups series by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart. I really enjoyed this book, it was refreshing to have a main character in a romance book who seems real, Chloe is 42, perimenopausal, and not a size 2, and I loved her for it. A lot of the time main characters are not the easiest to relate too but Chloe would be my friend. When Chloe returns to live in her hometown after the death of her husband, she throws herself into her passion, starting her own junior hockey league. As her dad is the head coach of the local NHL team, hockey is in her blood. Niko, the star goalie for the team, is struggling in a custody battle with her ex wife and doesn’t want any distractions, however after a chance encounter with Chloe, he is definitely distracted, and when Chloe suddenly becomes the answer to his childcare problems he is unable to stay away from her. I thought this book was heartwarming, sexy and laugh out loud funny at points. Definitely recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is the third instalment of Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart’s Hot Flash Hookups series, and follows Nikolai Drugov, a hockey player in the midst of a custody battle with his ex-wife over their young daughter, and Chloe, a widow who has recently moved to Florida and is currently going through menopause. Like Mood Swings and Hockey Flings, it was really refreshing to read a romance story focused on two leads in their late thirties/early fourties rather than their twenties. Chloe feeling like she was starting over so late in life and still finding happiness, and everything she’s ever dreamed of, can and should be an inspiration to all. My favourite character was Chloe and my least favourite character was probably Peyton. I recommend this book because it’s a refreshing read and a good love story with a happily ever after. I also feel like the authors did a good job of portraying the voice of someone who speaks English as a second language. ‘My voice sounds foreign—a sharp strum on a cable stretched tight enough to snap.’

I should have read the description of Night Sweats and Hockey Nets before I read it. I usually choose books simply off the cover and title. This book is pretty steamy, which it is warned about (again, had I read the synopsis). It is the 3rd book in the series, but the only I’ve read. It can be read standalone. Overall I enjoyed the story and the little details the author added. The characters really came alive and their friendships and relationship shined off the page. Despite the detailed scenes that are beyond my typical reading, I would read the others in the series.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups Book 3)

Romance has always been my preferred genre, young couples falling in love and figuring it out. As I have aged I find myself comparing the characters to my adult daughters. This series is the first one in quite a while that I can relate to the main female characters.

Chloe while younger than me is starting to go through that change so many of us women dread while she is also starting over after so many years away from home.

Nikolai the broody goalie for the Storm Chasers is focused on his daughter and playing. He doesn’t feel like he can divide his time more than that.

Lots of build up between the two and some incredibly hot moments after the succumb to their feelings.

I have loved each of these books, but think this may be my favorite so far. Looking forward to the next one. Hoping it will be Rhodes that falls next.

This extremely talented writing combo never fails to captivate their readers! I am so totally in love with this series and I really hope there is a lot more to come! I really enjoyed the story of Chloe and Nikolai. They are such wonderful, loveable and more importantly relatable characters that drew me into their world immediately. Ayana is a sweetheart too! This truly can be read as a stand alone but why just read this book when you could read the whole series!! Trust me you don’t want to miss a single book.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets was the 3rd book in The Hot Flash Hookups Series by Marika Kay and Sylvie Stewart and definitely did not disappoint! I didn’t want to put it down! There were lots of scenes that literally made you laugh out loud!

I loved the instant chemistry between Nikolai and Chloe from the moment they met in the bar. Chloe, a recent widow, is wanting to find a little fun. Nikolai is a loving dad that is  fighting for custody of his daughter, Ayana, and not at all  looking for romance. Little does he know, she’s actually his coach’s daughter! He needs a nanny and she steps up to help. They try to deny their feelings but Ayana has other plans.

And Nikolai’s accent – definitely hot! And you could hear it through the whole book!

The scene at the end with Rhodes has me thinking that we might just get a Book 4 and I can’t wait to read it!

4.5 Stars

 

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is the third book in the Hot Flash Hookups series by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart. These two authors make a great writing team as their styles blend together flawlessly into a witty, engrossing, sexy, and fun read/s.
This is another wonderfully fun contemporary romantic comedy with forced proximity, grumpy-sunshine factor, 2nd chances, reverse age gap, a forbidden liaison, chemistry, steam, funny quips, banter, antics, family, a pesky ex, drama, emotion, and angst- starring a perimenopausal widow and a sexy single dad/professional hockey player.
What happens when the sexy woman you kissed at the bar turns out to be your hockey coach’s daughter? And what happens when she becomes your daughter’s nanny? Keep things professional. No problem. Right? Well, things don’t always go according to plan- and what ensues here makes for a really entertaining, fun, and spicy read- with just enough drama and angst to keep you hooked. Let the fun begin!
I think this instalment might just be the best of the bunch, so far- can’t wait to continue this madcap romp of a series.
This series consist of (so far):
-Hot Flashes & Hockey Slashes (Book #1)
-Mood Swings & Hockey Flings (Book #2)
-Night Sweats & Hockey Nets (Book #3)
-Sleepless Nights & Hockey Flights (Book #4) – due to be released in March 2025
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Sylvie Stewart & Marika Ray!

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is book 3 in the Hot Flash Hookups series by Marika Ray and Sylive Stewart. I was very excited for this book as Sylive is a great author and I’m totally in my “hockey romance era.” That said, this one did not disappoint AT ALL! Each book is what I assumed would be intertwined however this was my first in the series and I didn’t feel left out of place. There was enough detail that I felt like I knew the other characters but also that I totally want to read the rest! Niko finds himself nearing the end of his hockey career while also fighting his awful ex for custody of their daughter. Not one to be life of the party, he still meets a woman at a bar. He can’t get her out of his head until he finds out she’s off limits. Chloe is the coaches daughter and looking for her next big thing. After her husband passed she move away and is wanting a fresh start. She winds up becoming a nanny for Niko as he needs to prove he can care for his daughter with his busy schedule. The flirting between these two characters is so fun and it’s nice to read about older characters. One thing is for certain, their no strings turns into so much more. This funny, relatable and saucy story was definitely a great, lighthearted, easy read!

Sylvie and Marika teaming up to write was an excellent decision. Their writing style is hilarious. “Night Sweats and Hockey Nets” is the second light-hearted book in the quirky Rom Com series “Hot Flash Hookups.” It’s a feel-good story featuring forced proximity and the single dad trope, filled with witty banter that will leave you wanting more.

The journey in the book is flirty, sexy, steamy, and realistic. The characters are older than usual, which I appreciate, as Sylvie and Marika handle it so well. Chloe is determined to start anew despite menopause, and Nico might just be the one to help her. However, he must convince a judge that his daughter should live with him. Let the enticing and charming adventure begin!

This story is a delightful mix of drama, romance, and laughter.

One’s famous last words. “Never again.” Niko said those last famous words when he realizes that he has kissed his coach’s daughter and vows to never do it again. Well…. Never say never hun. I love how this story has an older female lead. Most romance stories have the younger youthful woman and the male lead is the older one. But to have one with an older female has been a breath of fresh air. The father/daughter relationship that Niko and Alana was amazingly sweet. T see that he is trying everything to get custody of her is something you don’t see everyday. The chemistry between Chloe and Niko was whew! I could feel my face heating up every time they encountered each other. I was not disappointed when I started reading this book. I greatly enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down once I started reading.

Night sweats and hockey nets by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart, book 3 in the hot flash hookups series. This is a book that will make you swoon. We follow a single dad trying to get custody of his daughter and a widowed woman trying to start a new life. Nikolai is swoon worthy, he cherishes and dotes on Chloe. He is a big marshmallow on the inside but is tough on the outside. Chloe loves children and was a teacher before moving back home. She is the daughter of Nikolai’s coach. This book will have you kicking and screaming. I got to fall in love with not only Nikolai and Chloe, but also his daughter Ayana who is funny and gets to become best friends with Chloe. We get to watch her scheme and be a kid. I loved this book so much and would read it again and again.

I was so excited for another book in this series! This book follows Nico, the goalie for the hockey team, who is in a custody battle to get to see his daughter. Chloe is a widow and used to be a 3rd grade teacher but she is moving back to Tampa to be near her father and start her own hockey league for kids. They don’t know each other but travel to Toronto for the All Star Game and meet in a bar and share an amazing kiss. Life happens and so they don’t take it any further. Chloe knows who he is but Niko does not know she is his coach’s daughter. When they are back in Tampa, they keep running into each other. He doesn’t have time for a relationship and she is trying to start a new life, but he calls for help when he needs a nanny to show the court he is ready for custody of his daughter. Chloe jumps right in to help him. I love Niko’s Russian sayings that don’t always make sense. I love how Chloe fits well into Niko’s family with his daughter. I love the slow burning romance becoming a few spicy scenes. I love that these characters are in their 30s and 40s. I hope that more keep coming out because this has been an awesome series!

In the cutthroat world of professional sports, I’m the agent who always calls the shots. Until a decade-old feud with hockey superstar Banks Bennet resurfaces, and I’m forced to play nice.
When his agent drops him and rumors of a trade swirl through the league faster than a puck on a breakaway, I find myself in the dreaded role of Banks’s new agent. There’s no doubt I can save his career from crashing into the boards, but only if we don’t strangle each other first.
All I need to do is whip this man-baby into shape and negotiate an epic contract that will establish me once and for all as the top hockey agent in the league. No problem, right? But between babysitting Banks, battling perimenopausal mood swings, and fighting this annoying attraction to my client, I’m facing a hat trick of challenges.
Not everything about Banks is what it seems. Under all that bravado and childish behavior lies a sensitive and considerate guy who values more than just his time on the ice–leaving me to wonder if maybe there’s more to life than just wins and losses.
If I’m not careful, my emotions might have me losing control and throwing away the professional playbook for a shot at happily ever after…and that’s not how this game is played.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is wonderful, hilarious, fantastic!! These authors hit us with another tale of love the 2nd time around. Having characters in their forties is super relatable. We can’t all be 20-somethings anymore. 😁

Chloe is still grieving the husband she lost to cancer but is ready to reclaim her life. Being 42 isn’t old. When Chloe kisses a stranger in a bar, she knows it could never be more than that random stupid moment.

Nikolai is a dedicated goalie facing the end of his career. He is embroiled in a nasty custody battle for his young daughter. Nikolai also supports his family back at home. He has no time for relationships, especially if they would put his custody in danger. Not even for that raven-haired beauty he kissed in the bar. When she turns up unexpectedly at his coach’s house, Nikolai must find a way to avoid the biggest distraction he has ever met.

When Chloe makes an offer to help Nikolai out as a temporary nanny to help his custody battle, Nikolai refuses. When the professional nanny he found doesn’t work, Nikolai is stuck and asks Chloe to help. After some initial flirting, Nikolai and Chloe agree to keep it platonic and be friends. That only worked for so long. They gave into the heat, the sparks, the chemistry between them.

Nikolai and Chloe have some hurdles to overcome but the biggest ones seem to be themselves. They just can’t believe that they deserve to be loved and/or happy. Will they figure it out??

Loving this series!!

The Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour RomanceThe Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour Romance by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This modern story is told from the perspective of our protagonist, Bella. After 12 years of marriage, Bella finds herself newly single and feeling lost. She decides that she wants to begin her new life and tries dating casually, using dating sites. Through her many encounters, she begins to understand and appreciate herself more. I found myself eager to read each new chapter, happily rooting for her to find everything that she wanted. The reader is given a pleasant and seamless blend of stories as Bella builds a new life. It’s a story of self discovery, adult friendships, heartbreak, and even just a enough relatable trauma. The spice level isn’t anything too extreme, especially for long time readers of romance, but there is definitely lots spice.

I very much enjoyed reading this book, and found myself pretty happy with the ending. If you’re looking for a story with a fairly relatable female lead, interesting characters and some spice, I’d recommend giving it a read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is thirteen sexy books in one complete series. It follows the story of Bella who recently found out her husband (Mr. Wimp) has cheated on her after twelve years of marriage. Now in her 30’s she starts dating again. Quickly she finds out the dating scene has changed a lot since in the past twelve years. Bella loves a good glass of wine and a steamy romance book, and she wants to find a man like she reads in those books. Going through the motions of one-night stands and guys who only want one thing, she quickly finds out it’s not as easy as the books make it out to be.

I enjoyed reading the story of Bella and going along with her as she tries to find Mr. Right. She’s been married for so long she forgot who she was before she married Joel (Mr. Wimp). She has wonderful friends and co-workers who help her find herself along the way. It’s a steamy romance that you won’t want to put down.

This is a complete series of 13 novellas all in one place. This follows Bella along on a journey to discovering herself after divorcing her husband after he cheated on her. There is so much going on here that I don’t even know where to begin to explain. Bella is trying to gain her self-esteem back and she is working on it with all she has. This is the perfect book to help you learn how to overcome your own insecurities and help you learn to put it all on the line to discover who you really are, to heck with what others may think.

I adore this series and I hope you will give it a shot.

This is definitely only for those over 18 due to the many scenes of an adult nature, including some which could be classed as triggering.

Bella is a woman on a mission, she has just found her husband cheating on her and now she is on the road to a divorce, but being in her thirties, Bella is not sure about how to even date in this modern world. She does however, have a circle of best friends who have a bit of experience and so she dives head first into the world of online dating and everything that comes with it.

Here is where we meet the 12 Mr Right Now’s and the steamy reawakening that Bella discovers with each of them from the boring, to the nice and to the kinky, there is a man for every taste she may have while she figured herself out. The ride is not a smooth one though and some of the most enlightening moments aren’t exactly the best ones, but you have to take the good with the bad right?

This is a very steamy set of romance novellas where one woman finds herself through a journey of self discovery and all the highs and lows associated with it, so prepare yourself for a wild ride and a lot of spice!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Enjoyable steamy box set about finding yourself and your “happily ever after!”

The book begins with the demise of Bella’s 12-year marriage. While Bella is hurt, she knows deep down that her marriage has been in trouble for a long time. She discovers that her marriage is one of stability and not passion. As she adjusts to being single, she realizes she has lost her self-identity. When she decides to date again, she is in for a rude awakening…the rules have changed dramatically since she last dated.

Her journey to find her “Mr. Right” is steamy and, at times, hilarious! Each novella is about a man she meets. Some of them are great guys, and some aren’t so great! She discovers more of who she is with each new man, and I love her relationships with her friends.

She finally finds her “happily ever after,” and he is truly worthy of her. As much as I loved reading about her escapades, I loved seeing her become the person she was meant to be.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Human Mating Site, Complete Series by B.L. Wilde is an excellent collection of novellas that chronicle the main character’s dating life post divorce. I loved every single minute of this book. From the very realistic dissolution of Bella’s marriage to the very end we are watching her personal growth in a heartwarming and often humorous way. While the writing in this collection is really good with great characters, my FAVORITE part is Bella’s internal monologue.
She is an incredibly witty, fun character that you truly root for.
The men in this collection range from intriguing to cringy and everything in between. If you are looking for a steamy, humorous and entertaining series, I recommend the full collection all at once!

The Human Mating Site Complete Series by B. L. Wilde, is an absolutely steamy wild ride. Bella is wonderfully hilarious, and her inner monologuing was great. I adored the development she has throughout each book! I would like to mention this series is VERY steamy, with lots of sexual content, so if that’s not your thing I wouldn’t delve into this. This was my introduction to this author and I was just obsessed and couldn’t help reading for way too long at a time. I look forward to seeing this author again!

If you aren’t interested in steamy intimate scenes and adult language, this isn’t the book for you.
Oh Bella, what a wild ride. The inner monologue no portions had me rolling. Through each Novella you add another of Bella’s conquests, which honestly she deserves after a 12 year marriage that really led messed with her emotions, ending with being cheated on.
Her friends are a blast. Each with their very own interpretation on her relationships but ALWAYS having her back.  A mix of single and married ladies that truly just enjoy and appreciate each other for all their similarities and differences. Their girl group is strong, which is truly what Bellla needs as she navigates the world of dating after her marriage.
Things change a lot in 12 years, so online dating is new for Bella and the ways of communication compared to when she met her husband have definitely advanced. She’s attempting to discover herself again  and find out what it is that she wants. And boy does she experiment finding what she is and isn’t into.
A great collection of stories

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first read the title of this series, I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. But I was so intrigued. How can one not be when it’s called: The Human Mating Site. So of course I jumped in without reading what it was about. The author takes us on the ride of the main character’s life. A failed relationship, a resurgence with some promiscuous activities, while finding herself and potentially her forever. Of course nothing is ever simple and there’s some twists and turns along the way.
Bella has been asked for a divorce. By a man let’s face it she doesn’t really love, but has spent the last 12 years of her life with. At her friend’s encouragement, she went out to get back on the saddle, looking for no-strings attached intimacy. Drawing the attention of Liam, Mr.Smooth. I really believed she had a profound impact on him and he would change his ways. But you will have to read and find out what happened. However, he coached and instructed her to never settle for less and that she is worth the wait. This leads Bella on an adventure to find the ultimate friends with benefits relationship. She was done with commitment. Frequenting bars, joining online dating sites, anything she could do to find what she claimed to be looking for. She met some interesting characters along the way. Some were great and some were downright awful, but one is her forever.
Can you guess which one it is?
