Riley, Lia

A romance featuring a hockey pro who time travels and enters into a marriage of convenience with Jane Austen’s bestie sounds like a wild concept, and Riley (Virgin Territory) delivers all the fun that readers would expect in this playful, trope-filled diversion.

Although the protagonists profess their love rather quickly and female empowerment seems a bit tacked on, the sexy chemistry between Neve and Tor is undeniable. Fans of the first in the series, Mister Hockey, will happily devour this installment.
