The Bannister Brothers Books in Order

The Bannister Brothers books are hockey romances with a strong family streak. Instead of ranches and rescue barns, the main world here is built around pro hockey careers, team politics, and the messier side of public reputations. But the core appeal is familiar Marts territory: protective heroes, funny moments, strong chemistry, and people trying to figure out whether love is worth the complication.

The series follows the Bannister brothers one by one. Icing On The Date pairs hotheaded NHL player Owen Bannister with caterer Gabby Davis. Worth The Shot is a shorter story about Bane Bannister and Addison Cavanaugh, the coach's daughter he absolutely should not be kissing. Skirting the Ice shifts to Jack Bannister, the quieter brother, whose old crush Murphy Ryan comes back into his life as an adult with plenty of history still between them.

Hockey drives the pressure, but family drives the feeling.

That balance is what gives the series its shape. These books are not just about locker rooms and headlines. They are about brothers who know each other too well, women who refuse to be dazzled by fame alone, and careers that can magnify every mistake. Public image, trades, injuries, rivalries, and coaching rules all push on the romances, but Marts keeps the emotional center close to home.

The tone is a little sexier and glossier than her cowboy books, though still easygoing and warm. The heroes may be athletes, but they are not written as untouchable stars. They come off as stubborn men with family baggage, too much pride, and a strong tendency to fall hard once the right woman gets past their defenses. The heroines are equally important because they give the stories their backbone.

If you want sports romance with humor, banter, and a real sibling dynamic running underneath the love stories, the Bannister books are a good fit.
