Do I like this????

Have you read Cali’s books before?

I never thought I would say I’m a contemporary romance girlie, simply because I like to escape and romance feels too close to reality. Basically training with daggers vs sending emails and avoiding your ex. Cali’s books caught my eye when I was preparing for ApollyCon, and I thought I would broaden my TBR since I had never read a hockey romance before. I read Meet Me in the Penalty Box in ONE DAY! Then proceeded to binge the ENTIRE SERIES in a week. After the last book I was like “wait…that’s it??” Then I found out she has 2 other series and immediately dove into another.

FYI in The Tides Between Us, he learns ASL for the FMC (she doesn’t know until he signs to her)…

I am now hooked and can’t stop reading them. Currently reading Make Your Move and I am officially a new fan of single mom romances. I even got my fiance to listen to an audiobook of Cali’s.

I HIGHLY recommend her books, and the audio are F A N T A S T I C 👩🏻‍🍳💋
