Hot Flash Hookups Books in Order

Hot Flash Hookups, written with Sylvie Stewart, is a romantic-comedy series about love after divorce, changing bodies, grown children, career shifts, and the brave decision to want more from life. The books pair women in midlife with men connected to professional hockey, but the real focus is on finding happiness without pretending to be younger or less complicated.

The series starts with Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes. Olivia is divorced, dealing with menopause, and not looking for another mess. Roman is an older hockey player trying to repair his relationship with his daughter. A destination wedding and a fake-boyfriend arrangement bring them together at exactly the wrong, or perhaps right, time.

The books make room for the realities that many romances skip. The characters may be parents. They may have exes, adult children, physical changes, old insecurities, and long-established routines. None of that is treated as a reason they should stop wanting connection.

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings, Night Sweats and Hockey Nets, and Sleepless Nights and Hockey Fights continue with new couples in the same lively world. Hockey provides the public-facing career and team connections, while family and friendship provide the emotional stakes.

The tone is frank, funny, steamy, and encouraging. There are embarrassing moments, difficult conversations, and plenty of jokes about the nonsense of dating when one is old enough to know better. The characters are not starting from zero. They are bringing full lives with them.

These are connected standalones, so each book offers a complete romance. Reading in order lets the friendships and hockey-world links build naturally from one couple to the next.

Start with Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes. It sets the tone for a series that treats midlife romance as messy, funny, sexy, and completely worth pursuing.
