Pucked Off is here!



Pucked Off, an all-new emotional and sexy STANDALONE from Helena Hunting is LIVE!!
Pucked Off by Helena Hunting
Genre: Contemporary Romance


***A Standalone novel in The Pucked Series***

I’m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance “Romance."

I’m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I’m a player on and off the ice. I’m the one women with no inhibitions want.

Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don’t know how to be any other way.

I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she’s the kind of bad I deserve.

At least that’s what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She’s all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark.

I shouldn’t want her.

But I do. 

I should leave her alone.

But I won’t. 





Excerpt:
Armed with my clipboard, I walk down the hall to the waiting room. Lance is impossible to miss. Despite the fact that he’s wearing a sweatshirt and the hood is covering half of his face, he’s more than six feet of broad, hockey-playing man. 
He’s so wide his shoulders encroach on the chairs on either side, which would explain why no one is sitting next to him. He’s slouched down so his head rests on the back of the chair, and his hands are clasped in his lap, a baseball cap hanging off one knee. His lips, plush and soft—I know since I’ve had them on mine; it might have been a decade ago, but I remember it clearly—are parted. He looks like he’s asleep.
I clear my throat. “Lance Romero?” 
He doesn’t move.
Bernadette, the receptionist, gives me a meaningful look.
I clear my throat again and call his name a second time. He jolts awake and the hood falls back, exposing his face. It’s not in good shape. He has a black eye and bruises on his left cheek. There’s a fly bandage across one eyebrow.
Sadly, he’s still hot.
He blinks a few times, yawns, and smacks his lips, his tongue touching the split in the bottom one. His gaze sweeps the room and finally lands on me. Heat explodes in my cheeks and courses through my limbs, warming me from the inside out as he starts at my sneaker-clad feet and roams up over my yoga pants to my company-issued T-shirt before stopping at my face. I can’t look directly at him for more than a couple of seconds. I sincerely hope he doesn’t remember me. I cannot go there and also be professional. 
I’m sure the smile he gives me has melted many a panty off a slutty bunny. Mine stay right where they’re supposed to, wedged up my ass.
I force a polite, professional veneer. “I’m ready for you now.”

Release day for Possession by A.M. Johnson and review


Grab your copy today.  There is so much turmoil in this book, but I couldn't put it down.


This was the first book I have read by A.M., but it won't be my last. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Declan and Paige are two individuals who are better together, but were separated for 9 years because of choices they both made when they were younger. 
Declan has always had mental problems, which were controlled, for the most part. He would have delusions and hear voices, which sometimes made him unsure of what was real and what wasn't. When he met Paige in high school, he found her beautiful, but she was the exact opposite of him. She was wealthy, beautiful, normal. But against all odds, they became friends and when he started teaching her how to draw, they became more. Things were great. They loved each other. They spent as much time together as two high school students could. Until. . . she found out she was pregnant.
Declan was happy and wanted to marry her and take care of the baby. The only time he felt normal and didn't hear the voices was when she was in his life. She didn't want to risk ruining his life by marrying him and was 'helped' into making the decision of having an abortion. After the procedure, things weren't the same and when they got in a fight he told her not to come back.
He realized he made a mistake, but it was too late. She regretted the abortion but it was also too late. After that day, they didn't see each other for 9 years. She was married within a year and he knew he would never love anyone like he did her, but there was nothing he could do. She left her husband (he was a cheating, lying tyrant) and they happened to see each other again when he rented space to paint where she worked.
The story that takes place after they meet up again is one of heartbreak, sadness, forgiveness and hope. They have to learn how to trust each other again. They have to learn how to communicate with each other. Not only do they have to forgive each other, they have to forgive themselves. When her ex comes back, under the guise of having the divorce papers finally, will it break Declan for good or will his love for Paige be enough to save him? This book was painful to read at times, but overall, it was a book of hope and forgiveness.

Pucked Off Teaser


Pucked Off, an all-new STANDALONE from Helena Hunting is coming February 21st!

Pucked Off by Helena Hunting Publication Date: February 21st, 2017 Genre: Contemporary Romance


***A Standalone novel in The Pucked Series***  I’m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance “Romance."  I’m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I’m a player on and off the ice. I’m the one women with no inhibitions want.  Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don’t know how to be any other way.  I have secrets.

She lights up my dark.  I shouldn’t want her.  But I do.   I should leave her alone.  But I won’t. 




Excerpt: 

I’ve agreed to go out with Lance. On a date. Two actually. I don’t even know what to think. I grab my purse and slip into my jacket. As fall settles in and the temperature drops, layers are becoming necessary.
When I return, Lance is standing at the desk, checking his phone. He’s smiling.
“Ready to go,” I say.
He hits a couple of buttons, pockets his phone, and turns that grin on me. “Cool.”
I lock up the clinic, and Lance walks me across the lot. This time he doesn’t leave the usual space between us, and the back of his hand grazes my hip.
I’m nervous when we reach my car. His Hummer is parked right behind my Mini this time. I adjust the strap of my purse and look up at him. Strangely, he looks as nervous as me.
He scans my face and takes a small step closer. I can see his hand lifting in my peripheral vision. My hair is in a ponytail, which is sitting on my shoulder. He fingers the end of it.
“Why do I always want to pull this?”
I don’t have the opportunity to answer, because he drops his head and his lips skim my cheek.
“I want to kiss you.”
“You just did,” I whisper.
“I want do it again, but here.” His thumb touches my bottom lip.
“Oh.”
He’s so close. His lips almost touching mine as he asks, “Can I do that?”
“Yes, please.”
His lids grow heavy, and he kisses the corner of my mouth. Lance strokes my cheek and rests his palm on the side of my neck. The other hand skims the length of my arm until he reaches my fingertips.
He leans back a little, and for a second I think it’s over before it’s even begun, but he takes my hand in his. Uncurling my fingers, he lifts it and presses my palm against his cheek. A full-body tremor runs through him, and his eyes drift closed. He turns his head toward my palm, and I smooth my thumb along the contour of his bottom lip. A deep sound comes from the back of his throat, making my skin prickle and heat blossom in my belly.
When he opens his eyes again, the fire in them matches the heat flooding my entire body. “Can you keep yer hand right here?”
“If you want me to, yes.”
“I definitely do.”
He leans in and brushes his lips over mine again. It’s soft and warm. The next time he takes my bottom lip between his, he releases it slowly, and then does the same with the top one. When his tongue flicks out, I might whimper. Light fingers cup my head, and I tilt it back farther.
I part my lips, and his tongue sweeps my mouth. His groan is low, sending a shiver down my spine. He drops the hand that’s keeping mine pressed against his cheek. His arm winds around my waist, and he pulls me in tight against him.
I expect the kiss to grow in intensity. It doesn’t, though I can feel the heat building inside me. That feeling I’ve been searching for all these years is finally back.

Teaser Tuesday

Sorry it is late, but I woke up yesterday with chills and a 101.9 temp ended up being strep throat.

Fallen Woman release day



After waking up yesterday with chills and a 101.9 fever and then finding out that I have step throat, I am finally feeling better. So, even though it is a day late, here is my review of Fallen Woman.

This book gave me all the feels. At first glance, I thought I was going to be reading a book about a woman who sold her body so she could make extra money. Boy was I wrong. While yes, Gia did get paid as an escort, there were heartbreaking reasons as to why.



Gia is a broken woman. After her husband's secret life is revealed and subsequently dies, she is forced to move forward and support her three children. She has to leave her three children home alone just so she can apply for jobs. Unfortunately, she has no other options and she feels guilty doing it but she doesn't know what else to do. She finally gets a job and strikes up a friendship with Jase.  She doesn't want to let him in, but slowly she does.
While at work, her neighbor watches her children and she becomes a surrogate grandma. The old woman has a young grandson that she has custody of as well. In an attempt to help Gia, Jase suggests she accompany his friends and him to social functions and they will pay her. She gets offended, but ultimately realizes that he is trying to help and that sex isn't included in the dates.
Both Jase and Gia feel more for each other than they admit, but they are great friends. She calls him after each date so he knows she is safe.




Throughout the book, you feel their connection and you know there is something going on with the neighbor, but you hope they will find a way to be together. Jase never goes on a date with her, which is explained, and I really liked his reasoning. When they finally admit their feelings for each other, can they be happy?  Will he accept her children?  Can they even make things work when she finds out that he isn't just a coworker?  Pick up Fallen Wonab today and find out.
