ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 10, 2025

She was just supposed to be a one-night stand…

But then she became my world.

Once, I was the lead guitarist of the hit rock band, Midnight Sun. Then a tragic accident took everything from me. I can no longer play guitar, my wife left me, and the future I worked so hard for is slipping away.

All I am now is a grumpy, infamous, former rockstar.

So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m not in the market for a woman, especially not Jade Cantrell—who’s as beautiful and talented as she is sweet.

Then the media pounces on a story about the two of us, and suddenly we’re zipping off to a mountain retreat and writing an album together.

I can’t keep it strictly business—no matter how hard I try.

And the more I get to know her, the more I know I don’t have any hope of keeping her out of my heart.

One night will never be enough.

I’m going to keep her forever.

REVIEW: HEARTBREAKER is the second instalment in the contemporary adult GAME BREAKERS erotic, romance series co-authored by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber. This is former rock guitarist turned music writer Royal Ewing , and country music star Jade Cantrell’s story line. HEARTBREAKER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Royal and Jade) HEARTBREAKER follows in the wake of a one-night stand between Royal Ewing and country music star Jade Cantrell. A few years earlier, rock guitarist Royal Ewing lost the use of his right hand as a result of a car accident, and in the ensuing time, Royal began his music writing career. With his song up for an award via the voice of country singer Jade Cantrell, Royal struggles to face the paparazzi and fans, until a rescue by the woman in question. Enter Jade Cantrell. A one-night stand ends with Royal ghosting our story line heroine followed by a betrayal for Jade Cantrell but another chance meeting at Banks Christianson’s hockey game, finds our couple pushed together in an effort to write a new album for our story line heroine. A successful snowy weekend of writing,followed by another betrayal force Jade to reconsider her future going forward, including the possibility of a relationship with our story line hero but Royal Ewing is about to get blindsided, taking his frustrations out on the woman he loves.

The world building follows several paths including Royal Ewing’s struggle to move on from the past, knowing his former band mates went on without him. As Royal found purpose in writing, Jade finds herself facing down more betrayal at the hands of the people paid to protect her back.

The relationship between Royal and Jade is one of immediate attraction. Royal struggles with the loss of his music career, and battle between head and heart believing he is unworthy of love or a second chance. Meanwhile Jade must come to terms with a personal betrayal, and in doing so, the pain of heartbreak sends Jade into a spiral going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but I am not a fan of a certain four-letter word.

The secondary and supporting characters are interesting and energetic. Royal’s sister Briar, and her daughter Frankie. We are reintroduced to Royal’s best friends: security specialist Dash, hockey player Banks Christianson, Atlas; music producer Rico Galagos, publicist Farrah Henley. Dash’s story is next.

HEARTBREAKER is a story of betrayal, secrets and lies, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is captivating and exciting ; the romance is fated and captivating; the characters are charismatic and dynamic. HEARTBREAKER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

I’m ready to warm the bench, but with a solid season behind me, they’re willing to give me some ice time. This is the chance of a lifetime. Until she walks in.

My first love. The one I never forgot.

But dating her could risk everything we’ve both worked for.

Nothing has ever come before duty.

Until Natalia. The bravest, most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. She’s fierce, breathtaking, and impossible to ignore.

Maybe that’s why when the Royal Protectors asked me to help finish her training, I had to say yes. But falling for her wasn’t part of the deal.

My past is closing in, the enemy is getting closer, and I’m running out of time.

How the hell do I choose between my duty and my heart?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 21, 2024

He’s not looking for love, and she isn’t looking for him… but when opposites attract, the rules of the game change.

Anders
As a pro hockey player for the Lauderdale Knights, my life is great—friends, hockey, and casual flings are all I need. Love isn’t even on my radar. But I’ll admit, dating my teammate’s hot sister sounds like a fun distraction.

Until I see her shy, nerdy friend sitting alone at the team party. Claudia’s nothing like the women I usually go for. She’s awkward, brilliant, and inexperienced, and I still find myself wanting more.

The problem? She’s headed back to Philadelphia, and I’m stuck here in Lauderdale.

Claudia

One bad experience left me done with men. I’ve got a great job, supportive family, and friends who mean the world to me. The last thing I need is a smooth-talking playboy hockey hunk trying to worm his way into my heart— and pants.

But then I meet Anders, my best friend’s brother’s teammate, the swoon-worthy Swedish player who’s breaking through my walls.

What started as one week together turns into something I never expected. But I can’t trap him like his ex did. I love him too much.

So I’ll let him go… even if it breaks my heart.

••••••

REVIEW: BODY SHOT is the eight instalment in Kat Mizera’s contemporary, adult LAUDERDALE KNIGHTS erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the professional hockey team Lauderdale Knights. This is twenty-seven year old, Swede Anders Nyberg, and twenty-four year old computer wiz Claudia Pomeroy. BODY SHOT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Anders and Claudia) BODY SHOT follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Weeks before the season opener, the Lauderdale Knights embark on their infamous, yearly beach party where Swedish hockey player Anders Nyberg will come face to face with his future in the guise of twenty-four year old computer wiz Claudia Pomeroy, Johan’s sister Hana’s best friend but a woman who struggles with a painful past. Determined to pull Claudia into their crazy Lauderdale Knights family, Anders begins a slow seduction of our story line heroine only to discover they have several days together before real life takes over. Claudia is starting a new job in Philadelphia, and the hockey season opener is just weeks away. Trying a long distance relationship is their only option until Claudia pulls away, breaking Anders’ heart in the process.

The world building focuses on the building romance and relationship between Anders and Claudia. Anders has watched from the sidelines as his teammates have fallen in love, started their families, while he has faced betrayal from a woman he thought he could. Meeting Claudia stirs something deep within our story line hero, something he wants to lock down for his own happily ever after.

The relationship between Anders and Claudia is one of immediate attraction but Claudia struggles with a painful past, and battles between head and heart believing she has little to no future in the romance department. Anders is determined to take things slow, including a careful seduction of our story line heroine until Claudia pushes Anders out of her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar and colorful secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Lauderdale Knights: Vaughn and Juliet; Jude and Cloe; Wolf and Scarlett;Cam and Sutton; Slava and Zoe; Johan and Sloane: as well as teammates Felix Lessard, Jordan Palmer and Aiden Barbeau; Johan’s sister Hana; Claudia’s parents Jeff and Laura.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 21, 2023

Michael Boone has just one goal: to get traded to his hometown team so he can be closer to his family. But when a runaway bride who happens to be his coach’s daughter jumps into his car to escape Mr. Wrong, the heat is on … in more ways than one.

Boone
I’m supposed to be a guest at my coach’s daughter’s wedding to a player from another team, but instead I find myself helping her escape it. The timing couldn’t be worse—I have to stay in Coach’s good graces to secure the trade I need. But when the sexy, newly single redhead with legs for days shows up in my life again, I can’t say no.

Jolie
After escaping marriage to a man who made me feel like I was never enough, I plan to focus entirely on completing my dissertation. Science has never let me down—I can avoid emotional entanglements by focusing on cold, hard data. But when I’m powerfully drawn to a man who is warm and, okay, I’ll admit it—also hard—all bets are off. Mr. Right Now is exactly what I need, until both of us find ourselves wanting the one thing we can’t have—more.

••••••

REVIEW:HARD HIT is the fifth instalment in the contemporary, adult ST. LOUIS MAVERICKS erotic, hockey romance series co-authored by Brenda Rothert and Kat Mizera. This is team member Michael Boone, and PHD student /coach’s daughter Jolie Gizzard. HARD HIT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as many previous scenarios are mentioned.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jolie and Michael) HARD HIT follows in the wake of a runaway bride. Jolie Gizzard was about to marry a man of her father’s choosing, a man she didn’t love, and who didn’t love her in return. On the run, Jolie jumps into hockey play Michael Boone’s car, the man with whom Jolie will fall in love. Jolie is the daughter and only child of Michael’s grouchy coach, and as such, Jolie has been declared off limits by the man in charge but all does not go according to plan when Michael Boone finds himself a temporary parent to his sister’s son, and struggles in the wake of his own brother’s illness. Hoping for a trade, Michael finds himself falling for a woman who may or may not be available when an impending trade comes through. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Michael and Jolie, and the potential fall-out as Jolie’s father not only threatens Boone, but his actions, threaten to push Jolie out of his life.

Michael Boone never considered dating the coach’s daughter but Jolie was no longer engaged, and our heroine wanted something more from our story line hero. Jolie would often help with looking after Boone’s nephew, a young man caught in an impossible situation. Boone is desperate for a trade to be near his brother but a trade means leaving the woman with who he may be falling in love.

The relationship between Jolie and Michael begins as a rescue-Jolie is a runaway bride who doesn’t love the man she has been forced to marry. Knowing the coach will not be happy with the current situation, Michael Boone intends to keep his distance but finds himself falling for a woman who could break his heart. The $ex scenes are provocative and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

For fans of the series, most of the previous story line couples return as several impending births push the players together. We are reintroduced to Hadley and Weston (Hard Fall), Sariah and Nash (Hard Pass), as well as Jolie’s father Coach Gizzard, her grandmother Grandma G, Boone’s brother Andy (via phone), their sister Emma, and nephew Joey.

HARD HIT is a story of family and relationships, power and control, desperation and determination, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character drive premise is captivating and energetic; the characters are animated and edgy; the romance is spicy and sassy.
