Love and the Hidden Hockey Clues is the first book in Linda O’Connor’s Laugh-out-Loud Hockey Caper Romance series.Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Linda O’Connor. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
Love and the Hidden Hockey Clues by Linda O’Connor
Genre Sports Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PGWhen she was younger, Dr. Abigail Clark dreamed of playing professional hockey, but the world
wasn’t ready for a female player. That stung. She skated as far away from hockey as possible –
until she lands a job in the emergency department of a hockey-crazy town and buys the house
of the late beloved Zamboni driver. A tin box is discovered during the renovation of her new
home, and Abigail brushes it off as a time capsule left by the previous owner – that is until
someone tries to steal it. Turns out, the odd collection is more than just sentimental hockey
memorabilia.
Abigail inadvertently embroils Del Braebury, captain of the local pro hockey team, into helping
her sort it out. Her history with hockey players is rocky at best, but he comes in handy when she
needs to access parts of the rink that are off limits. Del is happy to be tangled up in the clues of
the hidden hockey loot. In the process of solving the mystery, he hopes to win Abigail’s heart!
Is it true:
this is your first book?
Nope. This is the sixteenth book I’ve written. They keep getting better and better!
this book is part of a series?
Yes. It’s the first book in the Laugh-out-Loud Hockey Caper Romance series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
No. Sometimes if I’m lying awake I might plot the next scene, but writing never keeps me awake at night.
you did research for this book?
No, not really. I might have researched hockey schedules and seating in arenas, but that was the extent of it.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
No. Only humans in this one.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes! It’s a hockey romance, a romantic comedy, a medical romance, and a white collar mystery.
you speak more than one language?
No, unless you consider medical-speak a language of its own. I balance writing with my work as a physician.
you grew up where you live now?
No. I haven’t moved very often, but I didn’t settle where I grew up. I’m in the same province, Ontario, but it’s about three hours away.
you love to read?
Yes, reading is my way of relaxing. Right now, as well as romances, I’m breezing through cozy mysteries.
you are never late?
Yes. I always aim to be ten minutes early.
you love pizza?
Yes, I do love pizza. I’m currently on the hunt for a delicious gluten-free pizza crust recipe that I can make. If you know a good recipe, let me know!
you love sushi?
Yes, I love sushi. I love it even more when someone else makes it for me.
you have a pet?
No, no pets. Raising three sons was busy enough without throwing a pet into the mix.

#SportsRomance Love and the Hockey Heist the new #RomanticComedy by Linda O’Connor @LindaOConnor98 #RLFblog #Contemporary
Following the clues and falling in love…the theft of a treasured clock sets off a hilarious series of events when Dr. Piper Roblin tries to steal it back! Love and the Hockey Heist by Linda O’Connor is a fun fake engagement and hockey caper romance.Linda, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Love and the Hockey Heist.
Love and the Hockey Heist by Linda O’Connor
Genre Sports Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
Dr. Piper Roblin is peeved. She’s pretty sure her new neighbour stole her travel alarm clock. It may not be worth much, but it has sentimental value. Piper hatches a plan to get it back, but her plan relies on Brent Dean, popular forward of the Brighton Edge hockey team, to finagle a dinner invitation to gain access to her neighbour’s house.
Brent thought the invite from the stunningly beautiful cardiologist was based on a thoughtful gesture to welcome new neighbours to Brighton. He didn’t realize the gig included subterfuge, thievery, and a fake engagement. But he didn’t get to where he is without a lot of hustle and determination, and since he’s always up for some fun, let the games begin.
Why did you write this book?
This book starts out with the theft of a treasured travel alarm clock. That is based on a real life experience of mine! I never did get it back, but turns out, it’s a fun premise for the story. I also love doing escape rooms with the challenge of clues to decipher and puzzles to solve. I thought I’d weave that type of white-collar crime mystery into a romance. Add in a smart, sassy doctor and a swoon-worthy professional hockey player, and the stage is set for a fun, clever hockey caper. This is the second of a new series and the stories will all be stand-alone, kisses-only romantic comedies with all the feel of a sexy romance – sweet with heat!
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love reading romance, of course, with the happy-ever-endings. I also enjoy cozy mysteries especially when they’re written in the third person. I just finished Baubles to Die For by Tonya Penrose and loved it!
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
My favorite character is Andy Carpenter from David Rosenfelt’s Andy Carpenter series. He’s a clever, resourceful, independently wealthy lawyer who reluctantly and hilariously takes on clients who are wrongly accused of murder.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on the third story of the Laugh-out-Loud Hockey Caper Romance series. Lately, I’ve discovered how to make my own covers and marketing ads on Canva, and I’m having fun putting those together, too.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
After this release I’ll be concentrating on the third and fourth books in the series. I’m thinking about all the twists and turns I can incorporate!
