Heating Up the Holidays!

Hey! So… yeah. It’s been a hot minute since I did like an official blog post. Radio silence since September was not on my BINGO card for 2025. But then again, back in January, I didn’t know I’d be needing shoulder surgery. And while my body physically heals well after a surgery, mentally I always tend to hit a roadblock. I’m not sure about the science behind it, but when I look back at the 2-3 weeks leading up to and then the 6-8 weeks following my surgeries, I find that I cr

"If you ever had the thought “if only it was the brothers best friend trope!” while reading the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy then this is most definitely the book for you!"

"There is nothing like a Rosie P. Burke sizzler for escaping…!"

Marigold Maybee, Amazon

"I love a best friends to lovers romance, especially if hockey is involved and especially if the shmexy talk is dirty and/or a character turns out to be........ more possessive in the bedroom. Super spicy, good banter!"

"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."

About the Author

Aka: the ickiest part of writing!

When I got my Bachelor AND Masters degrees in Recreation and Sport Management, I never thought I'd be using them to write sweet and spicy sports romance stories. And yet... PIVOT! I recently published the final book in my first series: the Dropped Puck Series, a six-book series of interconnected stand-alones that focus on the Chicago Sharks hockey team and the women who put those all-stars in their place. My books are love stories with witty banter, fun spicy-times, and semi-realistic situations (I've never actually dated a professional athlete, so don't AT me if you have. Or do. I love a good story!) The ultimate compliment would be a "one handed read with relatable characters"! 😉 I'm hard at work on my newest series which is sure to be sports-themed since sports + smut is a lot of what I know.

A SAHM, I live in Illinois with my husband, our two kids, and a dog who does just enough to keep his spot in the bed. I'm a big fan of historical fiction, Young Adult, and romances of all tropes. I also like cross-stitch, watching movies, and working out in our home gym. While I'm not big on peopling for long periods of time, this southern-raised author does love making new friends.

*** Truth? The older I get, the more I realize: Read the books. Watch the movies. Do you and be you because lord knows we need more gems in a world of fakes. Late in Life doesn't mean it's too late.
