St. Cloud Hockey Series (Complete Set) (Mari Loyal's Book Sets #1)

Three swoon-worthy novels to binge read from Mari Loyal, your new favorite closed door sports romance author!

FACEOFF

Sparks fly when hockey rivals face off, but can they win the game of love if their teams hate each other?

The days in Luz’s hockey career are numbered after an accident years ago left her with chronic pain. Playing at the new women’s team of her jock-hating ivy league college is her last chance, and getting named captain means that she can’t afford any distractions.
That is until her meet-disaster with Max, the new men’s hockey team captain, leads to their teams declaring war on each other.
Even if his massive Italian family doesn’t recognize it, Max is one of those once-in-a-generation talents, and he plans to focus on nothing but hockey to wow them. But when a snobby professor pairs him with Luz for a project, she starts to become the one distraction he can’t shake.

OVERTIME

When their overtime tutoring sessions take a romantic turn, can they beat the ticking clock until graduation?

The pressure is on to wow hockey recruiters for Aran’s college senior year. But his coach is less than impressed when Aran’s latest fling makes a scene in the middle of his team’s locker room. And that’s without Coach even knowing that he’s about to flunk an elective.
So Aran has a step one, swear off girls for the rest of the season. Step two, do some overtime school work with the help of a tutor.
Insert Maddie. Even though there’s just a few months left for graduation, she’s desperate to move away from her fatphobic roommates, even if it means taking on more tutoring jobs at the expense of her budding author career. Instead, she’d prefer to start working on a hockey romance book that she can self-publish quickly. But there’s a Maddie knows nothing about hockey—or about real life romance.
They strike a Maddie agrees to tutor Aran in exchange for teaching her about the sport. All she needs to do is remember that a real-life romance is off the table.

SHUTOUT

Are they playing the only game they can both win by shutout, or are they about to lose each other forever?

Liv would rather hang out with her boyfriend or stay home making new recipes to the tune of hard rock jams. But her friends convince her to stop being such a black cat and go to a party with them. Then they get there and find Liv’s boyfriend making out with a random girl.
To make matters worse, the one who confronts her now ex is none other than Brooklyn—the hockey captain, golden retriever extraordinaire, and her former best friend… who has no idea of the major crush Liv had on him basically all her life, especially after their fallout last year.
Brooklyn wants to seize the chance to get back in Liv’s good graces. What better opportunity than fulfilling the promise they made freshman year of signing up for a Spanish elective together?
But just as they’re getting closer again—more than ever—a huge offer that could kickstart Brooklyn’s hockey career with a bang forces him to choose between hockey and Liv.

The St. Cloud Hockey Series novels are first person dual POV, with guaranteed happy endings, mild language and plenty of heat without spice. If you want all the excitement of college sports romance like Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series, but prefer to keep the door closed, this series is perfect for you!
