ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2023

We had an instant connection the first time our eyes met from across the dance floor.
The connection grew later that night in my hotel room when we couldn’t keep our hands off each other, or so I thought before waking up to an empty bed.
When she showed up four months later, pregnant with my baby, I still had no idea she was my teammate’s little sister until his fist connected with my jaw.
We can’t deny our mutual attraction, but how do we turn lust and one incredible night together into love?

REVIEW: BLAKE is the fifth instalment in Samantha Lind’s contemporary, adult SAN FRANCISCO SHOCKWAVES erotic, hockey romance series. This is Shockwaves’ goalie Blake Watson, and attorney Raven Rowe’s story line. BLAKE 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 (Blake and Raven) BLAKE follows in the wake of a one-night stand between our story line couple. Four months earlier, Blake Watson was in Vegas for his teammate’s bachelor party, where he would meet a woman he only knows as Raven, wherein a one-night stand will occur. Fast forward to present day, Blake will come face to face with his teammate’s sister, the woman who has starred in his fantasies and dreams. Enter Raven Rowe, Camden Rowe’s sister, the woman with whom Blake will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Blake and Raven as the couple must navigate Raven’s pregnancy.

The relationship between Raven and Blake begins as a one-night stand but neither one knew anything about the other. Blake and Camden both play for the San Francisco Shockwaves, and Raven is Camden’s sister. A second chance, of a sorts, begins immediately upon their reconnection, and their love for one another grows fairly quickly. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters include several players and their wives from the Shockwaves, as well as Raven’s brother Camden, and their respective parents.

BLAKE is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is heart warming and inviting; the characters are flirty and spirited; the romance is tender and spicy.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 24, 2023

I’m ancient for a hockey player.

Broody as they come.

I wasn’t always like that, I had love once, but it was ripped away in the blink of an eye.

Now all I want in life is to play the game I love and to be left alone.

Until I met the team’s new photographer.

I did my best to avoid her.

She was too young for me.

There was just something about her that called to me.

I’m not sure I can let go of my past, even if it means a future I never thought possible.

Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Trinity Black is the new social media manager for the San Francisco Shockwaves, and within days of her hire she will come face to face with her future in the guise of defenseman Damien Thompson.

The relationship between Trinity and Damien is one of immediate attraction but Damien has loved and lost, and in the previous eight years, there has been no one to hold his heart of his soul. Trinity Black has found her dream job with the San Francisco Shockwaves, and falling in love is the perfect addition to her new life and her new job. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Most of the previous story line couples return as secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Trinity’s parents, and her best friend Michael.

DAMIEN is a story of friendships and relationships, loss and love, acceptance and starting over. The premise is captivating but there is no conflict or struggle for our leading couple. The characters are energetic and dynamic; the romance is provocative and intense.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 17, 2023

I was a forever-bachelor kind of guy.

I never planned on settling down.

I never wanted a family of my own.

Until a phone call came, the one woman I’d secretly loved my entire life needed my help.

I went from bars and hook-ups to late nights on the couch.

When her daughter is born, I find myself captivated by both of them, and falling deeper in love.

What happened to my forever-bachelor life, and is that the life I want?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 20, 2022

It took just one look and I knew she was meant to be mine.

Her body language told me she was onboard, but my job had her slamming on the brakes. She was convinced professional athletes had a puck bunny in every city, but that was far from the truth.

I agreed to be her friend for now……but how do I make her see we’d be better as lovers than just friends?

The relationship between Tori and Aiden is one of immediate attraction. Best friends dating best friends and teammates mean mutual commiseration, as well as time spent apart and together on the road.

We are reintroduced to Ryker and Avery, as well as Ryker’s daughter Ellie; several members of the San Francisco Shockwaves: Tristan, Damien, Jason, and Blake, as well as Tori’s parents Robert and Whitney. Tristan’s story line is next.

AIDEN is a fast paced story of friendships, relationships, and love. The premise is entertaining and engaging- once again, there is absolutely no conflict, no hardships to overcome, no outside interference or threats. The characters are charismatic and wonderful; the romance is steamy and hot.

After years of trying to get back home to be closer to my daughter, I finally secured a spot on the newly expanded San Francisco Shockwaves.
