ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 29, 2025
One moment captured on a jumbotron changed my life.
One glance at that screen and…I was Coldplayed.
My fiancé getting caught canoodling on national TV was not on my bingo card for my first season of coaching the NHL’s Oakland Eagles.
Neither was falling for a hockey player on my roster.
I’m not in the market for love, not after being humiliated, and I’m certainly not going to date one of my own players.
Only…the universe keeps pushing us together and every moment I spend with Hudson means my attraction to him grows…until I can’t seem to stay away.
And then I find out he’s playing the long game—
Because he has absolutely no intention of letting me go.

REVIEW: LUCKY LACES is the fourth instalment in Elise Faber’s contemporary, adult EAGLES HOCKEY erotic, hockey romance series, a part of her numerous interconnected hockey series. This is NHL Oakland Eagles’ head coach Diana ‘Dee Dee’ Connors, and hockey player Hudson Blackwood’s story line. LUCKY LACES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Diana and Hudson) LUCKY LACES follows the building but potentially forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Diana Connors‘ first game as head coach of other Oakland Eagles is interrupted when her fiance is caught with another woman on the jumbotron, and in the ensuing nightmare, Diana finds herself trapped in her office with hockey player Hudson Blackwood, in the wake of an earthquake that has rocked Oakland California. An injured Hudson, and a profession of desire finds our couple struggling to keep their new relationship a secret, a relationship that has the potential to threaten the entire organization.
The world building focus on the growing love between Dee and Hudson, as Hudson is placed on injured reserve, while he recovers from the injury sustained in the earthquake. Dee battles between head and heart knowing their relationship may threaten her position with the team, in the wake of an already questionable start with her former fiance making headline news.
The relationship between Dee and Hudson begins as coach and player but quickly turns into something more. Trapped together for several hours, Dee is desperate to protect the man with whom she will fall in love but behind the scenes someone else is determined to destroy their careers. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story lines.
There is a large ensemble cast of energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters including many of Hudson’s teammates, as well as team owner Jean-Michel Dubois, players Cam Jackson and West Stevenson, King, Rome and Rhodes: Dee’s ex fiance Jason, and her neighbor Ernie.
LUCKY LACES is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, friendships and love. The character driven, fast paced premise is edgy and intriguing; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are determined, charismatic and dynamic.
