OFF HER GAME
by Suzan Butler
Penalty Number One: Men
Making time for men and relationships
doesn’t fit into Valerie Chase’s game plan. This crisis-counselor-turned-cocktail-waitress
knows the score—Men
are a distraction. But
when a certain hockey player tempts her wild side, part of her wants to indulge
in a little harmless fun.
Penalty Number Two: Desire
As the star center for the Texas
Highlanders, Darren
Moran's good looks and deadly determination make him a fan favorite. But after
the previous season’s
disaster, the last thing he needs is to let some woman crawl under his skin.
But… Valerie is different. She brings out the best in him—both on and off the ice—and
he’s not about to lose her.
Penalty Number Three: Passion
When the game moves to the next level, Darren and Val have got to call timeout. An unplanned romance is a game-thrower,
a sinful temptation that neither of them can afford. After all,
there’s no way to have order in matters of the heart when the
penalties tally up to an ejection from the game.

Four Awesome Hockey Movies
I
make no secret of my love for hockey. In fact, it might be to my detriment,
since everything I do online has some form of hockey involved. It’s that author
branding thing, you know? Anyway, I figure it’s part of who I am, so I’ll roll
with it. So today, I’m going to talk about my top four hockey movies and why they are my topfour.
Hockey Mom
This is a little known
flick. It’s Canadian, and was originally known as another title in Canada. As
with a lot of movies, the title changed to fit the US market. It’s about a
single mom learning to balance what’s important. It struck a lot of chords with
me.
Mystery, Alaska
Man, I need to rewatch
this. Basically, this small town hockey team that plays for fun gets sucked up
into a media circus when they are chosen to play against the New York Rangers.
And you know, Russell Crowe… I loves me some Russell Crowe.
The Cutting Edge
Ahhh… Now this movie… I get a big sigh over this movie.
Washed up hockey player goes into pair skating with a stuck up figure skater.
Teehee. This movie makes me smile. Now I want to go up to some random person and say “Toe pick”
and run away.
The Mighty Ducks
Emilio Estevez.
Hockey. So, a self-centered lawyer is sentenced to community service coaching a
rag tag youth hockey team. Now I look back on this movie, and I think that
Emilio Estevez is hot here. But when I first watched this waaaaay back in the
early 90s, guess who had a crush on the child star… one Charlie Conway… played
by Joshua Jackson. Would you know that I didn’t realize he played the kid until
I looked it up recently? Crazy.
Sure, there are more
hockey movies. I’ve seen more. But these four are the ones that stick with me
the most when I think of hockey movies.
So what’s your
favorite hockey movie? Do you have a favorite hockey book too?
