ABOUT THE BOOK:
No-strings-attached hook-ups are my jam.
After a hockey player hires me to improve his skating skills, sparks fly and a second-night stand sounds like a damn good time.
I have zero regrets…
…till he ghosts me.
Now that I’ve lost my summer gig, I get on with my life, picking up an old side hustle to keep myself afloat.
A top-tier viewer makes me an offer I can’t refuse—private, exclusive sessions for an outrageous fee.
He’s perfect until he sends me Cole Korhonen’s jersey to wear for him.
Turns out the ghost and my viewer are one and the same.
I’m a cam girl.
Cole’s a hockey star.
Can a one-night stand ever be anything more?
WAITING GAME, book two in the New York Stars’ series, is a standalone hockey romance.

Waiting Game by G.A. Mazurke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Serena Akeroyd has always delivered in the sexy sensual chemistry department and she hasn’t disappointed yet writing as G.A Mazurke. This sports romance series has me all kinds of revved up and we are only two books in! Speaking of this series, I highly recommend you read the first, End Game, before you read Waiting Game. I have my reasons, which I won’t detail in case you’re new to this world, but I’ll just say it is important to understand the characters better if you do. Do with that information what you will.
Another excellent trait this author has in her writing is uniqueness. I’ve always found her stories not to be cliché or trite. Even when she writes tropes I’ve read a million times, she always adds little titbits here and there that sets her stories apart from the norm in every trope she has written. For example, Mia becoming a cam-girl to make ends meet. You just don’t read that every day. Feel me? There are tons more but you’ll have to read to find out LOL Another unique trait she has is that every plot point has a meaning to the forwarding of the stories. She doesn’t write drama for dram’s sake, and she doesn’t fill her stories with unnecessary sub-plots that are not a direct relation to the romance journey. Almost always, no one is perfect LOL
4.5 STARS but half stars are not a thing and this story deserves a round-up!

MEET THE AUTHOR:  International Best-Selling Author G.A. Mazurke is the crazy lady behind Serena Akeroyd, crafter of smexy heroes you just wanna lick. While Serena has us expecting dark romance with lots of twists and turns … G.A. is her more mainstream/contemporary personality.
She explores her sweeter side while keeping the sexy we love, where the women fall hard but the men fall harder.
Some of G.A.’s books will cross over into Serena’s universes… so expect a cameo or two from beloved characters, while discovering new bands of brothers, with the banter, the laughs and the tears you are used to.
