Tessa Chauncy is the best kind of trouble. Beautiful, sweet and completely off limits. I’ve sat by and watched other men drool after her and forced myself to stay in check. Hey, I’m in the NHL… I have self-control in spades. Except when it comes to her. With the bat of her lashes and quick whip of that sharply pointed tongue Tessa can knock grown men to their knees. I’ve seen them wither and … knees. I’ve seen them wither and crumble under her confident stare— something I’m pretty sure she learned from sparring with me, thankyouverymuch.
But I’m not just falling for her. I’m down for the count.
She’s the girl I wanted, when wanting her was wrong.
She’s also my new roommate–
And oh yeah, my best friend’s little sister.
Heaven help me, I’m probably going to get his fist to my face or his hockey stick shoved in very dangerous places for what I’m about to do, but I don’t think I care anymore.
I’m in love with my best friend’s little sister….and I’m done waiting.

Jason Taylor
Tessa Chauncy
I need to start this review by stating the Stacey Lynn is quickly becoming a favorite author for me. I love her stories. I love her characters. The dialogue she writes flows and is engaging. There is not forced in her story telling. There is a natural evolution to how the characters get to their HEA.
Hooked on her is the 3rd book in the Ice Kind Series, however it can be read completely on its own, but if you even just sort of like the Hockey Romance Genre do yourself a favor and read the other books.
Tessa and Jason have danced around each other for a decade. Normally they fight and argue like wet cats. Tessa is coming of a breakup with a total dbag. Tessa normal resides in Toronto but is in NC visiting her brother Sawyer and his live in Girlfriend Debbie. Sawyer is also a hockey player for the Ice Kings and best friends with Jason. Tessa’s ex has wiped out her savings, taken all her possessions from her apartment as she was leaving for her mini vacation to visit her brother. Jason has decided he has waited long enough to let Tessa know how he feels.
Jason’s character is not very smooth. He does not have the words or the personality to simply woo Tess. Jason totally keeps sticking his foot in his mouth making it hard for Tessa to accept the idea of them as more than friends. The evolution of the relationship has its moments of tears and laughter.
This is a Friend to Lovers Romance, but also Friend’s little sister. This is a trope that isn’t really my favorite but because I love Stacey, I went in hoping it would be good. I am so glad I did read it. This was a slow burn romance but once it gets hot, it gets hot. This was a 5/5 read for me. I really enjoyed this and highly recommend it.
Another good story in this series! Jason is so amazing and Tessa is a great fit for him.
Tessa just got out of a bad relationship and is visiting her brother with even more bad news. As he wants her to stay with them, she finds herself living with her brothers best friend Jason. The guy she has a huge crush on. Who also has a crush on her, and doesn’t hold back in trying to win her over. But can she go from one relationship to another?!
Lovely and quick read. Jason is absolutely swoon worthy, and I really love how he kept telling her about his intentions.
I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a really sweet, hot and romantic story. It stars Jason, and Tessa. They both have had crushes on each other but Tessa has had a fiancee who just broke her heart and Jason sees her FINALLY single and so he makes his move.
This is a best friend sister romance where they also become roomies. I loved how into Tessa Jason is and I loved how he has been wanting her all these years and waiting for her to open her heart to him
This was a wonderful story, with wonderful characters and I absolutely adored every moment of this fast paced romance.
4 Timing is Everything Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free
Timing Is Everything, No, Really It Can Be. How many times have you felt, being in the right place at the right time made all the difference in you achieving your career goals, your getting that apartment, or even meeting your partner… See, you know what I am talking about.
Staci Lynn takes this idea and runs with it. She gives us two people who haven’t been in the right place to act on their feelings for each other…for years. Either being the little sister of the best friend, or she lived in another country and you were pursuing a career that wouldn’t allow time to nurture it, or the brother would probably kick you in the nuts if you did…
And then there is the obstacle of her having a guy…one she was engaged to. So the timing was just not working for this couple.
But then things happen, like the man who was engaged to our gal turns out to be a stealing, disgusting thief, stripping the apartment and bank account. This leaves her needing a place to stay until she can regroup. This brings her to her brother’s home he is now sharing with his new girlfriend. It also brings her to see the best friend of her brother she fights and bickers with all of the time…
Now our guy has decided this is it. This Is His Time. He is going to go for it with this woman no matter what.
And he does. But he may be an Alpha, sexy and hunky, etc., but he sometimes doesn’t know how to say what his heart is telling him. Things kinda get twisted and with the history they have with each other, it can be hard for our gal to trust her feelings.
This worked and was a slow burn. The two of them have hurdles to overcome, but in the end, their timing is finally right.
HOOKED ON HER by Stacey Lynn is book Three in the Ice Kings Series. This is the story of Jason Taylor and Tessa Chauncy. I haven’t read the previous books yet, so for me this was a standalone book. Tessa just went through a awful breakup and has come to her brother Sawyer and his girlfriend to stay with for a little while. This puts Tessa seeing her old crush Jason who of course nothing every happens because he is her brother’s best friend. Jason has always wanted Tessa but he didn’t make a move because of his best friend, but now she is back in his sights he wants to start showing her that he wants her to be his. This starts with him offering her a place to live but where will it end? This was a hot read that you can’t put down. Loved it.
He’s watched her from afar for a few years now, constantly having to fight his urge to make a move and claim her heart. But he is growing tired of waiting for his girl, and now that she is single and staying in the same town, now seems as perfect time as any to finally tell her how he feels.
But what happens if she doesn’t feel the same way, or she decides to return to Canada?
Between the pages of Hooked on Her readers will meet a couple that has longed to be together for years now, never knowing how the other truly felt. But now fate, and Tessa’s jerk of an ex-fiance, have given them a fair shot of seeing where their feelings and attraction could lead them. Tessa is completely down on her luck and Jason is determined to make her feel loved and wanted, and help her forget her no good ex. But Tessa has her reservations about jumping head first into another relationship after just ending one, and putting their friendship in jeopardy… but Jason is determined to not let them fail. He went to great lengths to sneak his way into her heart. (It didn’t take long for him to steal mine too!!) I loved every single second of this little journey, the feisty banter, shameless flirting, emotionally charged passion, and of course the heart-squeezing romantic stuff too…. it all helped to make it a thoroughly satisfying tale! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
Hooked on Her is a great addition to the Ice Kings series.
Tessa is down on her luck thanks to her ex. She’s staying with her brother, Sawyer, and his girlfriend on a vacation, but thanks to her family she decides to make extend the stay. Enter in Jason. Her brother’s best friend and teammate and her secret crush. He offer’s her a place to stay. What’s the worst that can happen?
I felt for Tessa with everything going on thanks to her jerk of an ex. However, due to those events she has a much better future ahead of her. I love the relationship she has with her brother. She loves and supports his hockey career, plus gets along great with his girlfriend. Jason has been friends with Sawyer forever, he has also been crushing on his little sister for almost as long. However, timing has never been in his favor. I loved his determination, especially when it came to Tessa.
Jason and Tessa have loads of chemistry. I love their connection to each other, they have a history together. They both have secretly been wanting more with each other, but never took that next step. There was so much wasted time between them, but they don’t waste any more time making it up once they fully give in to their chemistry.
I loved this book from the moment I started reading it and I’m glad there was little glimpses of characters from the previous books in the series. If you love hockey romances or best friends little sister romances this one is MUST READ!
5 Hooked stars.
Hooked On Her is the third book in the ‘Ice Kings’ series by Stacey Lynn. It’s a stand-alone so you don’t need to have read the previous two books. But, they are equally as good, so why not spoil yourself and have a binge read and grab all three?
Tessa and Jason have known each other for a long time. They’ve spent the last decade fight and busting each other’s chops. But beneath their bluster and anger, there is real affection, at least for Jason, and now that Tessa is in his hometown, he’s going to show her how he feels.
Tessa’s just coming out of a bad breakup, she’s been used by her ex and taken to the cleaners.
Jason isn’t all that smooth, but he’s sweet and sexy, and a genuinely nice guy. He just has to get Tessa to open her eyes and ‘see’ him.
I really liked this slow-burning friends to lovers story and was rooting for both characters and liked how the relationship evolved at a natural pace. One-Click your copy today.
Hooked On Her is another great book in the Ice Kings series by Stacey Lynn. I enjoyed the plot of the story and how everything unfolded. The premise for the story really caught my attention from the start and I was glued to the pages of this story.
Jason and Tessa had a story to die for. I love a good best friend’s little sister storyline, so this story was perfect for me. I loved the chemistry that sizzled between Tessa and Jason and that their attraction blossomed from friendship into a relationship.
Stacey Lynn has done a fantastic job with this story. It was very well written and I really enjoy this author’s writing style. I look forward to following what’s next in this series.
I just love the feeling I get everytime I read Stacey Lynn’s book. She definitely has the ability to ease my mind and leave me with nothing but a smile on my face.
Jason and Tessa were the cutest couple ever. I was so funny to see her trying to figure out what to do with the fact that her longtime crush has been keeping his feelings for her a secret for so long…and good God Jason!?! That man was a force to be reckoned with when he went after something he wanted. Poor Tessa didn’t stand a chance…
As always a feel-good and laughing out loud book by the amazing Stacey Lynn! It’s a must-read for sure!!

Jason and Tessa’s romance will warm any ice cold heart!
Hockey wingman, Jason Taylor, might have a crush on his best friend’s little sister…a girl he has known forever.
Tessa Chauncy needed to get away after she came home to her Toronto apartment to a heartbreaking sight…she hopped on a plane and went to visit her brother, hockey player, Sawyer.
This brother’s best friend/hockey romance is a wonderfully written, melt-the-ice-hot, low-angst, full of perfect characters story by Author Stacey Lynn. She does a great job writing hockey series, and HOOKED ON HER is a perfect example of this! I loved everything about this…and the ending…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! 4.5 pucking stars!!
This was a cute brothers best friend romance! I really felt for Tessa when she had to deal with her prick of an ex. No one deserves that in their life.
At first I wasn’t sure if I liked Jason but he grew on me when you seen how much he cared for Tessa. Tessa had a right to be wary of new relationships, I know I would have been. I really liked how it wasn’t all roses in their relationship that they argued like all couples do.
My favourite part was the happily ever after of course. I liked getting to see Sawyer & Debbie get their happy ending too.
I received an arc of this book in return for an honest review.
What began as a waltz morphs into a tango. Tessa and Jason have a bond that was years in the making, yet they never seemed able to get it right. When life throws them the chance, will they finally step up to the plate? Lynn blows hot and cold with highly electric results. Hooked on Her goes from zero to sixty and zooms away with more than just hearts.
This is the third book in the Ice King series and the first book I’ve read within the series. I feel these can be read as stand alone’s. I wasn’t lost at all. This is about Jason and Tessa. Tessa is the little sister of Sawyer. And Sawyer and Jason are best friends, as well as teammates. Tessa has always had a crush on Jason, not knowing that Jason has also been harboring a crush as well. When things go wrong with Tessa, she comes for a visit. This gives Jason the chance to finally make Tessa realize what is right in front of her. Tessa can’t believe that her fantasies are coming true. She had no idea. When the walls start to come down, the chemistry between these two is explosive!! I love the banter between them as well. This is a fun book with lots of chemistry. It is a must read!
Hooked On Her is my new favorite in the Ice Kings series! Stacey Lynn gives the story of Jason and Tessa in this book. Tessa finds herself living with her brother and his girlfriend which is less than ideal. Enter Jason with plans of winning her over and getting Tessa to stay. This friends to lovers is a sweet easy read. Jason is totally swoon worthy and I’m a huge fan of these hockey romances!
I loved Hooked on Her. The tension between Tessa and Jason is so hot. You feel the passion between them from the very start. You get why Tessa is gun shy with giving into Jason once you get to know her. I love Jason and how he finally gets the balls to tell Tessa how he really feels. You will love Tessa’s stubborn side. I couldn’t get enough of Tessa and Jason. I loved this one so much.
What a great addition to the Ice King Series, each story can be read as stand-alone’s as each book is about a different player from the Ice Kings NHL Team, although I’m sure once you pick one of these books up you will want to read the rest of the series.
This is Tessa Chauncy and Jason Taylor’s story and it’s a tale with all the feels you want and expect in a great read, it certainly ticked all my boxes and I’m sure if you one click this gem you won’t be disappointed. Jason has had feelings for his best friend Sawyer’s sister for many years but it was a line he wasn’t prepared to cross because Sawyer is not only his best friend he is also a teammate. Funny thing is Tessa has crushed on Jason for as long as she can remember but both were clueless to each other’s feelings until now….. will Jason take a leap of faith or will Sawyer still be in the way.
The chemistry is sizzling as this relationship goes from friends to lovers but it was Jason supporting Tessa on her next journey that really touched me. I loved everything about this book, it has all the feels, I smiled at the witty banter and I swooned as this couple took their friendship to the next level and I can’t wait to see where Ms Lynn takes us next.
Hooked on Her by Stacey Lynn is the third book in the Ice Kings Series and tells the story of Tessa and Jason. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
Tessa decides to go visit her brother, Sawyer, a hockey player for the Ice Kings after she finds her home vandalized by her ex-fiance. While visiting her brother she reconnects with Jason, who is Sawyer’s best friend and Tessa’s teenage crush. Jason finally believes he can reveal to Tessa his true feelings, now that she is not in a relationship.
Jason is an alpha male who pushes Tessa, but she pushes right back. The two are perfect for each other and work through their hesitations. This was a sweet story and a great addition to the series. I look forward to the next book in the series.
