About this ebook

From USA Today Bestselling author Jami Davenport comes a new clean/sweet Hockey Romance series featuring adorable animals, yummy hockey players, and relatable heroines. Join the men of the Spokane Lynx as they fall in love and battle for the future of their careers.

My past has come back to haunt me.

I’m the oldest player and the captain of a minor league hockey team. My aspirations of playing in the big-time are fading, and I’m facing an uncertain future. My teammates decide to have a little fun at my expense and sign me up for a dating site. My first and last date happens to be with my old nemesis, Emory, who still blames me for ruining her chances as a hockey player. Not a fun time I’d wish on anyone.

Imagine my surprise when the team’s social media admin retires suddenly for personal issues, and Emory arrives as his replacement. We’re butting heads at every turn much to the amusement of my teammates. The night of the Lynx holiday party, we’re assigned to the same cabin as the result of an alleged administrative mistake, and there’s no other room at the inn. If that isn’t bad enough, a wet, furry bear of a dog adopts us, a blizzard hits, and we’re not going anywhere soon. Emory and I might greatly dislike each other, but we’re also in denial regarding our mutual attraction. I don’t see how this will end well for either of us, but it’s Christmas. Perhaps the magic of the season and a large stray dog might make the impossible possible.

All Pets & Pucks novels are heartwarming, closed-door Hockey Romances. They'll make you laugh, cry, and turn the pages followed by a smile at the end and a guaranteed Happily Ever After. 

Ratings and reviews

I'm going to be honest the cover drew me to this one. I couldn't pass up that dog on the cover. I'm glad I read this one. It's a holiday romance with some twists. Laine and Emory have a history and it's not a great one. They feel the other is to blame where their lives have not ended up. Things get interesting when Emory is the new social media manager for Laine's team. I loved the minor league hockey vibe. Just myself really getting into AHL hockey last year I can appreciate this book.

What a wonderful start to the new Pets & Pucks Series from Jami Davenport. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Hockey is Laine Jacobs and Emory Hillman’s enemies to lovers romance. Laine is the captain and the oldest player on the Spokane Lynx minor hockey team. His dream was to make it to the NHL but that was put paid too when he took his father a colleague coaches side over a young woman goalkeeper playing for the team….. Emory never thought she would come face to face with Laine again

When his fellow players sign him up for a dating site, he reconnects with Emory Hillman. This was a slow burn enemies to lovers’ romantic story that ticked the boxes for me. I love stories set around the holidays. It’s a time for the magic of the Christmas season to create the miracle that these two need. This was a well written and entertaining story with a couple who you cannot help but become invested in. Can they come to terms with the past and in doing so make a future together?
