Good Boy
by Sarina Bowen
2017
Jess Canning is trying to survive her brother's wedding without anyone learning about her huge mistake with best man Blake Riley. Blake, unfortunately, sees the weekend as his perfect shot to win her over.
Stay
by Sarina Bowen
2017
Hailey Taylor Emery suspects her favorite anonymous client is hockey star Matt Eriksson, her longtime crush. Online flirting is safe, meeting in person is a whole different risk.
Series background & context
The WAGs books take the Bowen and Kennedy hockey world and step a little farther from the rink. The players are still around, but these stories care just as much about wedding schedules, family group texts, career uncertainty, bad timing, and the odd social circus that forms around professional sports. If the Him books feel emotionally intimate and hockey-centered, WAGs feels looser, funnier, and more openly rom-com.
That shift works well.
Good Boy throws Jess Canning and Blake Riley together during a wedding weekend that already has enough moving parts without their history making everything messier. Stay moves into a more modern setup with Hailey Taylor Emery, an anonymous assistant, and Matt Eriksson, the hockey player who may be much closer to her online crush than either of them planned. In both books, the hook is not simply attraction. It is the way private feelings and public mess keep colliding.
The ongoing thread is the world around the romance. Families are loud. Friends meddle. Weddings create pressure cookers. Reputation matters, but so does the simple question of whether two adults are actually ready to trust each other. That gives the books a breezy energy without making them shallow.
They are also very readable when you want sports romance that is not only about the season standings. These stories are more interested in relationships off the ice, and in the people who have to live around athletes, cheer for them, date them, or tell them when they are being ridiculous.
If you want a short series that is warm, funny, and connected to the larger Bowen hockey universe, WAGs is a very easy place to spend a weekend. The books stand alone nicely, but together they show how much charm there is in the mess just outside the locker room.
