Description

I swore I’d never fall for another hockey player. Not after Zane. My ex and the father of my daughter.But when I need a place to stay, River Thompson is the one who opens his door. My ex’s teammate and best friend. Completely off- limits. The man who looks at me like I’ve always belonged to him.There’s just one catch… I have to share his bed.Living under the same roof makes it impossible to ignore the way he’s been quietly biding his time. He’s patient, protective, and determined to prove he’s not like the man who broke me. And the way he is with my daughter makes it even harder to guard my heart.Every night I spend in his bed, the slow burn between us threatens to ignite.Trusting River means risking not only my heart, but my daughter’s too. The scariest part?I’m starting to believe he might be worth it. Hold Me Tight is a best friend’s ex, enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn pro hockey romance with a hero who’s been biding his timeβ€”and a heroine afraid to trust her heart to the wrong man again.

She's always been the endgame!
Format: Kindle
Hold Me Tight is book 2 in the Chicago Railers Hockey series and follows River & Callie's story. "She's always been the endgame. Even when she belonged to another man." River Thompson...Where do I even begin with him? Talk about playing the long game! This guy has been waiting for YEARS for his shot with Callie and when he finally does...he goes all in! He doesn't just say the right things, he actually does them! He opens his home to Callie and her daughter, protects Callie and they way he's sweet on her daughter just warms my heart! She has him wrapped around her little fingers and it's the sweetest! The slow burn chemistry is worth waiting for. He was so patient with her and made sure she knew it wasn't just the physical but the emotional attraction as well. This was a perfect heartfelt romance and I was totally here for it! If you love: Hockey Romance Single Mom Forced Proximity Slow Burn Then add this book to your TBR! p.s. I also did the audio for this book and loved both narrators! Vivienne LaRue & Grayson Owens were perfect ... show more

Callie & River
Format: Kindle
River and his patience with Callie is 😍😍😍. Like could not be better. He had me swooned from the start. He was definitely on it in this book. An opportunity to make Callie his arose and he didn’t think twice about it. Also, him with Nora had my previously a single mom heart melting. Callie has been through it and the hits keep coming. River’s offer to help her comes just in the knick of time. However, she knows deep down that she can only trust herself. No matter how pretty River’s words are or how handsome the man himself is. When they finally give in to one another and start becoming something more. Someone tries to take back what he always thought should have been his. ... show more

spoilers ahead
Format: Kindle
It was okay. H was a total unicorn boyfriend. h was not my favorite. (Possible spoilers ahead) h annoyed me because her ex-baby daddy, Zane, was a freaking millionaire, and she was just accepting that he wasn’t supporting their kid. Wut? The guy was straight up dog πŸ’©, and when he tried to cause a 3rd act breakup in the end with his pathetic β€œI want you back and I can change” - this h literally had to think about it. WTF? 😳 I mean….he had a new fiancΓ© and was living the high life, but she actually had to have her BFFs tell her, β€œI seriously doubt he was the one who paid off your bakery loan.” She really believed for one second that Zane paid it off? Does this woman actually have brain cells? All I can say about H is that he was perfect. He fell in love with h as soon as he saw her (she was dating his friend/teammate), and he’s been celibate for 3 years waiting on her. It’s a tad creepy that he was in love with his friend’s woman and was waiting around for her, but whatever! He’s definitely a unicorn. This book is like a Hallmark movie. Low drama, and vanilla’ish spice. I’d probably rate the spice 1.5 ⭐️ (I read a lot of dark romance, so my spice meter may be broken) Both MCs have been celibate for 3 years. No OW drama. There is OM drama, but it doesn’t amount to much. Boooo on there being no update in the epilogue on how the co-parenting is going with Zane, if Zane got married, or if Zane is still on the team. It makes me wonder if Zane may be the last book in this series. Maybe he gets a redemption arc???? ... show more

I just knew Callie and River's story was going to make me swoon, and boy, was I right! Callie tries suppressing the attraction she feels towards River with iciness and cold indifference. Too bad River doesn't take the hint, or at least, that's the lie she tells herself. Everywhere she turns, he's there. After her ex, Zane, smashed her heart with his cheating and refusal to be a part of their daughter's life, she's sworn off men. There's no way she can go down that road again, especially when River just stood there and watched the drama unfold from the sidelines. What she doesn't realize is there's more to the story. River's had a thing for Callie since they met. He didn't pursue her because she was dating his teammate and former best friend. Instead, he did what he could to support the relationship, advising Zane to do better by Callie and their daughter. River's tried to keep his distance, but he's like a moth to a flame. When he finds out that Callie's on the verge of losing her business, can't afford a rent hike on her home, and her ex is no help financially and looking to reduce child support payments, he knows it's time for him to step in.

She charms River right off the bat and quickly has him wrapped around her little finger. It's so sweet. I love how much River wants to help Callie carry the load and make her life easier, something that her ex couldn't care less about. What will Zane do when he finds out that Callie and Nora have moved in with River? Will he step up? Will he try to sabotage the relationship building between River and Callie, or will he find it eye-opening and turn over a new leaf? The side drama between Evelyn and Hugh continues to heat up, the tension between them t-h-i-c-k. I have so many questions. I need to more, and I need it now. Also, Rina and Oliver are up next, and I know Rina is not going to go down without a fight. That woman is feisty! ... show more

Jennifer Sucevic Has Me Hooked
Format: Kindle
As a single mom to a 4-year-old whose dad isn’t in the picture, I was really excited to read Callie’s story and see how motherhood with a young child was handled. As a working mom who barely has time for herself half the time, I always enjoy seeing those realities woven into a romance in a way that actually feels believable. Jennifer Sucevic did such a good job with that here. I loved how supportive River was, not in an over-the-top perfect way, but in the small consistent ways that actually mattered to both Callie and Nora. The way he showed up for them honestly made me tear up multiple times. The relationship progression felt natural and never rushed, which made it so easy to get invested in them. You could genuinely picture these relationships developing the way they did. The chemistry between Callie and River was so good and I thought this book balanced emotional moments and spice really well. I also loved getting glimpses of characters from the first book and seeing everyone rally around them. At this point I’m fully obsessed with this series and already need the rest of the books immediately. ... show more

This book is in my TBR list so long. Didnt get the urges to read it. Love Steele's story but I can't bring myself to read this on... Until I did. And it's also because I want to read about Rina and Oliver. I didn't know how deep is River and Callie's story. His love for her is so swwwoooonnyy.. Is that a word.? I bet it isπŸ˜‰. Man, this man loved her since the first time they met.. Even though that time she was with his friend.. I like how he didn't give up and always there for her.. Whenever she needs him, he's there. I don't blamed Callie to take times to understand how deep and to finally really see that River is here to stay. Cant wait to continue with the rest of the series. ... show more

Love a man that pines
Format: Kindle
I'm really liking Ms. Sucevic's writing style. She somehow pairs pining and angst with a fast enough pace that I'm hooked almost immediately. I was sucked into River and Callie's romance from book one. We love a man who pines and this man, whoa boy, does he. Congratulations for making me fall for a blonde man. River is every green flag you can think of and then some. He's patient and kind and good with kids (which didn't even matter to me and he still somehow made it sexy.) Callie was the once burned, single mom. I understood her reluctance to jump in with River. My biggest issue with her was somehow not realizing what a narcissist Zane was. Like the fact she needed closure was insane to me. I will probably skip the next book because as much as I love those two characters, I don't give a hoot about a surprise baby trope. It's not my thing. ... show more
