BREAKING NEWS: The Puck & Play Kickstarter is OFFICIALLY LIVE, and our early bird rewards are already being snatched up faster than the last cold drink at a summer game!
OMG, I’m practically vibrating with excitement as I type this. After months of preparation and enough coffee to fill an Olympic-sized pool, my Puck & Play hockey romance series Kickstarter campaign for Grumpfest has officially launched—and we’re already at 10% of our funding goal!

What’s in the Puck & Play Series?
For those just joining the team (welcome to the bench!), the Puck & Play series centers on the Orlando Sunblades hockey team and the steamy romances developing on and off the ice. The series launches with Grumpfest, featuring our brooding goalie Max and the sunshine-optimist Lily who melts his icy exterior.

The Campaign So Far
It’s day one into the campaign, and:
- We’ve reached 10% of our funding goal
- Early bird tiers are being snagged with a quickness
- There are 3 weeks remaining to back the project (campaign ends August 28th)
- Each backer brings us closer to making this special edition hardback a reality!
What Makes This Series Special?
If you’ve enjoyed my previous works featuring ex-SEAL hunks, get ready for hockey player heroes who know how to handle their sticks both on and off the ice (wink). The Puck & Play series brings together:
- Steamy romance scenes that’ll have you cranking up the AC
- Emotional depth with characters working through real issues
- Orlando, Florida settings where the weather isn’t the only thing that’s hot
- Hockey culture with all its superstitions, rivalries, and tight-knit team dynamics
- The perfect balance of angst and humor (because we all need to laugh between the swoons)
- Slowest burn EVER
How You Can Help
Beyond backing the project (which, thank you!), here’s how you can help make this campaign a success:
- Share the Kickstarter link with fellow romance readers
- Post about it on social media with #PuckAndPlay or #Grumpfest
- Tell your book club about these steamy hockey players
- Follow and tag me in your posts so I can share and thank you! (@honeymavryck)
Thank you from the bottom of my romance-writing heart for your support! Let’s make this hockey series steamier than a Florida summer and more satisfying than watching your team score in overtime.
P.S. If the Orlando Sunblades’ character collector cards don’t make you swoon, you might need to check your pulse. Just saying.
P.P.S. Remember: Early Bird pricing ends AUGUST 8TH. Campaign ends AUGUST 28TH, at 9PM EST. Let’s fund this baby!
