Veronica Lansden’s model thin body and looks were what people thought she was all about as she traveled the world for her modeling career. In truth, Veronica’s dream was to open a bakery and fill people’s hearts and stomachs full of sugary deliciousness. However, when her life landed her in New York City, it was the last place she wanted to live. She decided to leave the big city and ended up in … in Boise, Idaho, with her best friend, Sharen Parker. Together they opened their coffee house, Java Love. Everything was finally coming together—except her love life.
Nathan Moore, a professional hockey player, needed a change. He got it from the hockey expansion draft when he was sent to Boise, Idaho. Leaving the bustling and chaotic city of Washington, D.C., which held the memories of gold-digging ex who eventually ended up with his teammate, he knew he needed more out of life. Idaho offered it. Fresh air, room to breathe, and nature as far as the eye could see. But when he ran into local coffee proprietor Veronica, his dreams of a bachelor-life went out the window, and he couldn’t see a future without this woman in it.
Will Nathan be able to slapshot his way into Veronica’s latte world?

This was a fantastic read, I loved the characters not just Veronica and Nathan but also their friends and I could relate to them, the fact they both don’t reveal everything about each other for some reason or another was totally understandable but boy they don’t do well with communication at all which never ends well. Be ready for laughs, frustration, attraction, awkwardness, love and deeply satisfying read. This is one of the few books I would read again as I enjoyed it so much and can not wait for the next to come out and see who is next up!
Great hockey book I really enjoyed it!!
Lattes and Slapshots is a great read! I loved Veronica and Nathan, and I loved how they meet. This book was so entertaining, I couldn’t put it down.
This is the first book in the series and my first book by these two authors. I was drawn to this one because it’s a hockey romance and the heroine likes to bake. I love to bake myself so I’m always drawn to books with characters that do. I loved the cover as well. That drew me in. The coloring caught my attention. One of the things I really liked about this book is it has a nice flown to it. I really liked Veronica. She has a lot of guts to follow her heart career wise and start fresh in a new place. I wish I had her bravery on that front. I liked Nathan as well. I liked he is an outdoors guy. It fits him well. Veronica and Nathan are cute together. I loved watching their love story evolve and play through. It’s one I’m so glad that I read.
It took me a minute to get into the book, but once I did, Veronica & Nathan didn’t let me put their story down! I loved the chemistry between them, it was soooooo HOT! This was a great small town, sports romance!
Veronica, dissatisfied with her life in NYC, is a city girl staring over in Idaho along with her best friend. Nathan is the new captain of his hockey team. Famous, jaded, and tired of the women who only want him for his fame and fortune, he’s enjoying his anonymity the simple and easy life of Idaho. Until he runs into Veronica. She’s beautiful, intriguing, and best of all, she has no idea who he is. But when his presence threatens to derail her hard earned new life and truths surface will they their connection be strong enough to endure?
These two were hot! Their chemistry clearly sizzled and you just know they need to be together. At times I wanted to shake Veronica and Nathan and tell them to just talk things out, but mostly I just needed them to find their HEA. Also, any book that talks about coffee hockey has my heart!
I enjoyed Lattes and Slapshots. It was a great story to curl up with and enjoy some coffee and a good romance. 4 stars.
This is such fabulous book, I love books with hockey players, really any sports related stories but hockey is my favorite. We get to meet Nathan and Victoria in the first installment of the Boise Grizzlies, it’s my first but won’t be the last. This story has so many twists and turns, you don’t know what you’re in store for, but you won’t be disappointed.
The supporting cast of characters are friends we all can relate to or wish we had. I would love to have the guts Victoria did, leave your career move to another state and open a business, she is a rock star.
Can’t wait for the rest of the series.
This is the first book in this series and the first book I have read from this writer. What a great book to kick out this series. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It was well written, flowed with ease and kept me interested. Veronica has had enough of her life. She decides to pick a spot on the map and start over with her dream. Her and her best friend end up in Boise, Idaho. They open a coffee shop where busy is growing by the minute. One day her friend tells her they are going to sponsor the hockey team in town. Veronica ends up meeting of the players but Nathan never gets the chance to tell her that he plays for the time. These two bond and really get to kindof know each other. But they are both hiding secrets from each other that could destroy the relationship they are trying to build. What will happen between these two? I loved this one. It was well written, a great storyline and two amazing characters that you cant but help fall in love with and want to get a happy ending. I cant wait to read more from this series and this author. She gained a fan with this one. So glad I took a chance on reading this one.
