ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 9, 2026

I loved him…
And he destroyed me.
Five years ago, Brooks Saxton left me at the altar. Now I’m breaking into his billionaire fortress in the dead of night, desperate enough to steal from the man who once owned my heart.
He’s ruthless. Powerful. Untouchable.
I’m broke, disposable, and still haunted by the way he said I don’t.
When he catches me with my hands in his safe, I’m suddenly trapped between the man who destroyed me and everything I tried to forget—hate, need, and secrets sharp enough to draw blood.
He thinks I’m a mistake he buried. I know he’s my downfall.
But the man who ruined me still wants me.
And this time, walking away will cost us both everything.

REVIEW:THE BACHELOR AND THE BREAK-IN is the third instalment in Elise Faber’s contemporary, adult EAGLES HOCKEY: OAKRIDGE VINEYARDS erotic, cross over romance series. This is billionaire businessman Brooks Saxton, and Briar’s story line. THE BACHELOR AND THE BREAK-IN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers (off page) for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Brooks and Briar) THE BACHELOR AND THE BREAK-IN follows in the aftermath of the wedding that never happened. Five years earlier, Brooks Sexton walked out of his wedding to the woman he loved leaving a heart broken Briar behind. Fast forward five years, Briar has returned, a woman destroyed by betrayal and abuse, a woman broken by the people she thought would help her survive. Brooks had his reasons for walking away but in doing so brought more danger into the life of our story line heroine, a woman who is forced to betray the only man she had ever loved.

The world building focuses on the past but barely touches the who, how or why. Brooks Sexton walked away in an effort to protect our story line heroine but never suspected the fall-out would destroy the woman he loved.

The relationship between Brooks and Briar is one of second chances but Briar is struggling with issues of trust; fears repercussions and vengeance from Brooks family and friends, but Briar is no longer under her own control, and the people in charge have threatened everyone she has every loved. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Ontce again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including the return of billionaire jean-Michel Dubois, his daughter Chrissy and her husband Rome (Knotted Laces / Eagles Hockey 1), Jace Henderson and Marie Austen (Beauty and the Boardroom), Thorn Wilkenson, Rory and River.,and Jean Michel’s ex Angela Rosseau. Thorn and River’s story is next.

THE BACHELOR & THE BREAK-IN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is intriguing and dramatic but there is no resolution to the story line conflict-or reasons given for the entrapment of our story line heroine. The romance is seductive but Brooks needed to do more grovelling 😉. The characters were determined and desperate.

Once again, the redundancy of nicknames and pet names cannot be ignored-baby is used 54 times, Raindrop 19 times, and Buttercup 12 times.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 26, 2025

I can protect her from everything—

Except from wanting me.

Kylie Connors survived the worst kind of betrayal, but now everyone treats her like she’s untouchable.

And the truth is…she is.

As the younger sister of the Sierra’s general manager, any man who’s interested in her would have to risk his career for a chance with her.

But then she asks me for help feeling something good again. Something real.

I’ve wanted her in silence for years, burying the truth that she’s the only woman I’ve ever truly craved. She’s forbidden, off-limits, and choosing her could cost me all I’ve built…and rattle the foundation of the life Kylie’s fought so hard to rebuild.

But when she trusts me enough to take that first step, every instinct in me screams to take the next ten for her.

And if she asks for more…I know I won’t hold back.

Even if it costs me everything.

OATHBREAKER (Gamebreakers 5) by Elise Faber & Kat Mizera-review tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2025

She was never supposed to be mine.
Walking away was the only acceptable decision.
It was just one night. Two lonely souls finding solace in the one place we shouldn’t have—my bed.
I thought once would be enough, but leaving her is my biggest—maybe my only—regret.
Now, I’m back and seeing the results of that night is killing me.
I’ll make it up to her. I have to. Because I’ve never loved anyone else.
Because I’d rather die than break her heart a second time.
But when duty calls, I swore an oath to listen.
And I know…
There will be no coming back this time.

••••

REVIEW: OATHBREAKER is the fifth and final instalment in the contemporary, adult GAMEBREAKERS erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends held together but a common loss, co-authored by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber. This is US Marine and Special Ops agent Colt Blackwood, and single mother Briar Dash’s story line. OATHBREAK can be read as a stand alone but for backstory and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as each instalment builds towards the series finale. Briar is Hudson Dash’s sister DEALBREAKER #3.

NOTE: For followers of the authors, there is a slight cross over with Elise Faber’s EAGLES HOCKEY / OAK RIDGE VINEYARD series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Colt and Briar) OATHBREAKER follows in the wake of the return of Colt Blackwood, a man long thought dead and lost. Approximately five years earlier, Colt Blackwood reenlisted, doing one final op for the US Marines but our hero disappeared without a trace, and was declared dead by the US government. Fast forward to present day, Colt’s return comes with mixed feelings and emotions for everyone, especially for the woman he has never stopped loving. Briar Dash had been struggling to move on with her life, but eventually would find a new man to love, preparing for a future with someone else but Colt’s return sends everyone into a spiral, even his best friends are struggling with his perceived secrets and lies.

The world building focuses on the return of Colt Blackwood, and the rebuilding relationships and friendships in the wake of grief and lost. Perceived betrayal sits at the root of his broken friendships, but none more-so than his love for a woman who has moved on with her life.

The relationship between Colt and Briar is one of second chances in the face of shock and anger. Colt is hoping to restart with the woman he has never stopped loving but Briar is struggling with five years of loss. The chemistry between our couple remains strong but the heartbreak and hurt may be too large to overcome. The sex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and determined secondary and supporting characters including the return of all of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to professional hockey player and Banks teammate West McGregor, whose story continues in CHASING LOVE (PUCKS AND PENALTIES #2).

OATHBREAKER is a story of secrets and lies, perceived betrayal and heart break, loss and grief, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and passionate; the characters are desperate, dynamic and a little bit broken.

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.

She’s everything I shouldn’t want.
But that’s never stopped me before.
I didn’t become a billionaire before the age of thirty by playing it safe. I’m a risk-taker…except when it comes to matters of the heart.
Until Lily.
The pop phenom is all legs and curves, with a boisterous laugh and a wicked sense of humor—everything that drives me crazy. She drives me crazy.
But the more we butt heads, the more I crave the sound of her voice…the feel of her body against mine.
Except I’m positive she’s hiding something from me. Something big.
I let someone else keep secrets once—I won’t allow that again.
She’s mine.
And I won’t stop until she knows it.

REVIEW: RULEBREAKER is the fourth instalment in the contemporary, adult GAMEBREAKERS erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends held together but a common loss, co-authored by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber. This is billionaire businessman Atlas Delarosa, and country singer turned pop star Lily Maxwell’s story line. RULEBREAKER 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 (Lily and Atlas) RULEBREAKER follows the building but struggling relationship between our story line couple. Lily Maxwell is at the top of her game, travelling and touring, with little time for a relationship or anything else. Atlas Delarosa is overworked, struggling to keep his head in the proverbial game when all he wants is to claim the woman who refuses to settle down but a woman whose secrets she doesn’t want exposed. While Atlas continues to cross the country in an effort to seduce the woman with whom he is falling in love, Lily refuses to define their relationship in the face of secrets back home.

NOTE: For followers of the authors, there is a slight cross over with Elise Faber’s EALGES HOCKEY / OAK RIDGE VINEYARD series.

The world building follows friendships, business dealings, concert tours , back stories, and secrets than threaten the growing love between our story line couple.

The relationship between Lily and Atlas begins as a one-night stand in which Lily ghosted our story line hero.Lily Maxwell doesn’t do relationships, too busy on the road but a deeper secret threatens more than her friendships but the growing love of a man who refuses to listen when the truth is revealed. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of charismatic and fun secondary and supporting characters including the return of Banks and Aspen, Jade and Royal, Hudson and Willow; Atlas’ PA and friend Briar; Jean-Michel Dubois and Tiffany Hernandez( Eagles Hockey: Oak Ride Vineyard).
RULEBREAKERS is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and heart break, family and acceptance, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is captivating, emotional and intriguing; the romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are determined and energetic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2025

I signed the contract.

I just didn’t expect her to show up ten years later, ready to cash it in.

Recently traded to the Grizzlies, I’m struggling to find my place on the team. I’ve changed coasts, moved away from my best friend, from the Breakers who became family, and…I’m alone.
And it’s my birthday.

A fact that everyone around me seems to have forgotten.Until a knock at the door proves differently.
I was in love with Luna when I was a teenager, and now she’s on my doorstep, vivacious and beautiful and…holding a piece of paper I barely remember.

One that says we’ll get married…
And I think I’m just insane enough to say yes.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 23, 2025

She’s the biggest movie star in the world.
And she’s in danger.
My specialty is security for the rich and famous, so when legendary actress Willow St. Claire asks for my help protecting her, I can’t say no.
The only problem is that I’m in danger too.
Of losing my heart.
She’s smart and sweet, beautiful and kind, and despite my determination to never fall in love again I know I’m going to make her mine.
But when her past catches up with her, the future I’ve begun to plan is suddenly at risk.
I might lose her.
And everything I never knew I wanted.

••••

REVIEW: DEALBREAKER is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult GAMEBREAKERS erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber. This is former US Marine turned security specialist Hudson Dash , and actress Willow St. Claire’s story line. DEALBREAKER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hudson and Willow) DEALBREAKER follows in the aftermath of separate attacks, and recovery for our story line couple. Hudson Dash’s most recent assignment ends with a broken hip and sprained ankle. While in the hospital, frustrated with his recovery, Hudson overhears a series of threats against another patient, and quickly discovers former child actress Willow St. Claire, the target of the abuse. Willow St. Claire is a survivor whose life is no longer under her own control, and Hudson has offered her protection from the man who is determined to destroy her life. As Hudson and Willow begin their recovery together, someone else is waiting behind the scenes to finish it all.

The world building follows Hudson and Willow from hospitalization to recovery in the face of smear campaigns and lies directed towards our story line heroine. Willow has not been in control of her own life since her earlier years and a show of her own, and the team at Hudson’s elite security and bodyguard firm for the rich and famous, offers Willow the opportunity to face down the man who has taken control of her life.

The relationship between Hudson and Willow is one of immediate attraction. Hudson knows that Willow is in trouble, and is determined to protect the woman with whom he will quickly fall in love. Willow has had no one to protect her, from an early age. The rampant excess and emotional betrayal in the industry has left Willow a shell of her former self. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, we are reintroduced to Hudson Dash’s close knit group of friends and co-workers: former rock guitarist Royal Ewing and Jade Cantrell, hockey player Banks Christianson and his fiancée Aspen, Atlas; Dash’s sister Briar and her daughter Frankie; and Willow’s ex Dylan Durand.

ELISE FABER

USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.

She lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or email her at elisefaberauthor@gmail.com
