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 October 6, 2025

My hockey career’s final chapter is writing itself. I’m thirty-five now, and with retirement looming, I’m desperate to make this season count—even if it means playing in L.A., the last city I ever wanted to call home.

Then Billie crashes into my life.

She’s sunshine personified—more than ten years younger and my teammate’s little sister.

Every instinct screams she’s forbidden territory.

But one taste of her changes everything.

The chemistry between us is undeniable, explosive.

I know I should walk away, but I can’t.

If her brother discovers us, I stand to lose more than just her—my career could end before I’m ready to hang up my skates.

💜 Rulebreaker (Gamebreakers 4) by Kat Mizera & Elise Faber-review tour💜

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

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 August 11, 2025

The deal was simple: marry my teammate’s sister, fake the fairy tale, get her a green card, and part ways like it never happened.

No feelings. No strings. No complications.

Yeah, well… that didn’t go according to plan.

We caught feelings. Big ones.

Now she’s pregnant, with my baby. And just when I’m ready to admit this might be more than just a deal, she drops a bombshell: she’s leaving. Headed back to Slovakia.

And she’s taking my kid with her.

That’s not happening.

She might think it’s over—but this story? It’s just getting started. Because they’re both mine, and I’m not letting go without a fight.

REVIEW:CLEAR SHOT is the ninth instalment in Kat Mizera’s contemporary, adult LAUDERDALE KNIGHTS erotic, hockey romance series. This is professional hockey player Aiden Barbeau, and Hana Hajek’s story line. CLEAR SHOT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Hana is Johan Hajek’s sister (Cheap Shot #5)

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hana and Aiden) CLEAR SHOT follows the marriage of convenience between our story line couple. The company for which Hana Hajek’s works has been hit by fraud, and she has seven days before her visa expires. With no new opportunities on the horizon, Hana prepares to return home to Europe until an offer she cannot refuse comes from her brother’s teammate Aiden Barbeau. A marriage of convenience for visa purposes only, and after one year, they walk away but a Florida hurricane, and the search for a new home, pushes our couple closer together until a perceived betrayal has Aiden walking away without looking back.

The world building focuses on several pathways including a deadly storm, a personal revelation, and heart break for our story line heroine.

The relationship between Hana and Aiden begins as an arrangement in which neither is expecting more than the surface arrangement. Hana has lusted after Aiden for as long as she can remember but Aiden has loved and lost, and his secret may tear our couple apart. Aiden’s attitude towards Hana distressing-I think he should have been forced to grovel more.The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word, although only used once, more for shock value than anything else.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, energetic and encouraging secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples, and team players from the Lauderdale Knights: Wolf Bodilsen, Felix Lessard, Jordan Palmer; Vaughn and Juliet, Jude and Chloe, head coach Anatoli Petrov and his wife Tessa, Hana’s brother Johan and his wife Sloane are determined to protect our heroine when heart break ensues, and Anders and Claudia (Body Shot #8).

CLEAR SHOT is a story of secrets, perceived betrayal, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is heart breaking, edgy and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic, dynamic and magnetic.

Edge of Heaven (Crimson Edge 2) by Kat Mizera-review tour

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

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 24, 2025

I have everything I’ve ever wanted—except the thing that matters most. Her.

Rock and roll is my life.
Playing bass for Crimson Edge is the best job in the world. Even when we’re on tour with our musical arch enemies.
Until the woman I’ve secretly been in love with for years starts dating one of them. I can’t stand the way he treats her, and I don’t know why she stays.
I can’t get involved—the band has too much to lose.
But I’m going to anyway.
One way or another, I’m going to make her mine.

••••••

REVIEW: EDGE OF HEAVEN is the third instalment in Kat Mizera’s contemporary, adult CRIMSON EDGE erotic, rock romance series- a spin off set in the author’s Rock Hard and Rock Harder worlds. This is Crimson Edge bass player Michael ‘ Mick’ Lipson, and model Taryn Blakely’s story line. EDGE OF HEAVEN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross over with the author’s LA Phantoms Hockey series.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mick and Taryn) EDGE OF HEAVEN focuses on the building relationship between Crimson Edge bass player Michael ‘ Mick’ Lipson, and model Taryn Blakely. A few years earlier, Mick and Taryn spent three glorious days together but life and everything else got in the way. Mick promised but didn’t call, and Taryn is struggling with the decision in her life. Fast forward to present day, Taryn is currently involved wit Callum Yates, lead guitarist for Karnal Death, a man who is controlling and abusive but Taryn has a secret, and is unable to walk away without someone else getting hurt. Mick is determined to save the woman with whom he is falling in love but he isn’t sure said woman wants to be saved.

The world building focuses on Taryn’s relationship with her abusive and controlling boyfriend, a man who is virtually holding our heroine hostage. Taryn needs something that only Callum can provide, and in this, she believes she owes Callum more than she is hoping to give. Mick wants nothing more than to claim Taryn as his own but the closer they get, the more problems for Taryn at home, and if Callum goes down, he’s taking Taryn and Mick with him.

The relationship between Mick and Taryn is one of second chances but Taryn is in a relationship, and Mick struggles with Taryn’s current situation. The longer Taryn remains with Callum, the worse it gets, and Mick is determined to protect our heroine form the ongoing blackmail that is threatening her life. Our couple is not together for most of the story as they Taryn must work through her problems before setting herself free. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and determined including the return of the members of Crimson Edge: drummer Angus Jeffries, and twenty-four year old, journalist Ryleigh Bell, lead singer Jonny Gold, band manager Sasha Petrov (Anatoli -Las Vegas Sidewinders 4)and lead guitarist Sam Fielding; Taryn’s mother Tracy Blakely, and Karnal Death lead guitarist Callum Yates; designer Alexa Humboldt, and supermodel Stevie Marchand.

EDGE OF HEAVEN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power, abuse and control, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic, gritty and edgy; the romance is limited but seductive; the characters are desperate and charismatic.

NOTE: There is a prequel novella EDGE OF FOREVER introducing the band

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. Atlas’ story line is next.

DEALBREAKER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, abuse and survival, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is fast paced, dramatic and entertaining; the romance is spirited and sensitive. ; the characters are sassy, charismatic and animated.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 29, 2025

Falling for her is a risk I shouldn’t be willing to take… but I didn’t get to the top of my game my backing down.

Ten years, three kids, and what I thought was unshakable marriage—until she slept with one of my teammates. The divorce left me reeling.

Trust isn’t something I give freely anymore.

Now, all that matters is fighting for custody of my kids, while my ex tries to take them and move across the country.

The last thing I need is someone like Stevie: A stunning model with a troubled past, no interest in kids, and baggage even heavier than mine.

One dance at a wedding changed everything. I can’t get this woman out of my head.

I’m not looking for more complications, but walking away from her isn’t an option either.

Not when I can’t tell where I stop and she starts…or if playing dirty is my only shot at making her mine.

REVIEW:PLAY DIRTY is the fifth instalment in Kat Mizera’s contemporary, adult LA PHANTOMS erotic, hockey romance series. This is thirty-two year old hockey player Martin ‘Marty’ Nadeau, and twenty seven year old model Stephanie ‘Stevie’ Marchand’s story line. PLAY DIRTY 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 (Marty and Stevie) PLAY DIRTY follows hockey player and single father Martin ‘Marty’ Nadeau as he fights for custody of his three young children,in the wake of his wife’s affair with one of his teammates but Marty never expected to come face to face with model Stephanie ‘Stevie’ Marchand, a young woman whose career and life have been put on hold. Several months earlier, Stevie’s ex Damien almost ended our heroine’s life, and with the help of several doctors, and her friends, Stevie is hoping for a complete recovery but entering into a new relationship was the furthest from her mind until meeting single father / hockey player Marty Nadeau, the man with whom Stevie will fall in love. When Marty’s past returns, and Stevie has yet to face her own demons, Stevie is willing to walk away to save the man and the children he loves.

Stevie suffered at the hands of her ex, while Marty is continuing to battle for his children in the face of his wife’s ongoing affair. As Marty prepares for a new season of hockey, Stevie finds herself at a crossroads in her career.

The relationship between Marty and Stevie is one of mutual attraction, each continuing to suffer the effects of betrayal and loss. Stevie doesn’t do relationships in the face of several unsuccessful romances, and Marty’s priority is the safety and love for his children. As Marty and Stevie begins a slow seduction, Marty’s past returns for a second chance. The Sex scenes are affectionate and impassioned without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 21, 2025

Welcome to the Crimson Edge tour… where love and music are both about to get their big break.

Secrets.

I have a really big one.

My image as the bad-boy drummer for Crimson Edge isn’t going to save me when word gets out.

My band is going to be furious.

And the woman I’m falling for?

She’s not going to stick around for the fallout.

•••••

REVIEW: LIVING ON THE EDGE is the first instalment in Kat Mizera’s contemporary, adult CRIMSON EDGE erotic, rock romance series-a spin off set in the author’s Rock Hard and Rock Harder worlds. This is thirty-two year old, Crimson Edge drummer Angus Jeffries, and twenty-four year old, journalist Ryleigh Tucker’s story line. Several characters cross over with, or are mentioned, or have connections to characters in the author’s Rock Hard series, Rock Harder series, and Las Vega Sidewinders hockey series.

NOTE: There is a prequel novella-Edge of Forever- focusing on Crimson Edge guitarist Sam Fielding and teen singing idol Kirsten Aiken.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Angus and Ryleigh) LIVING ON THE EDGE follows Ryleigh Tucker as she struggles to make a name for herself in the world of music journalism. Ryleigh’s late father worked for the music magazine Rock Harder, and gifted his daughter a shot a fame working for Rich Fowler and Rock Harder magazine. A music reviewer and online blogger, Ryleigh is desperate for a full-time job, and her first assignment is to write an expose on the up and coming rock band Crimson Edge but from the outset Ryleigh’s place with the band is fraught with issues of trust, and when secrets are revealed, Ryleigh is forced to take the blame for something she did not do. Crimson Edge drummer Angus Jeffries is hiding a secret, and if exposed, his life with the band may spiral out of control but Ryleigh Tucker is about to uncover a much darker series of lies, and pay the price for someone else’s sins.

The world building focuses on the dynamics of the band as the pressure to succeed is threatened by someone else’s jealousy and hate. A perceived betrayal will push Ryleigh out of Angus’ life, a betrayal meant to destroy and break out story line hero. As the band begins their climb towards stardom, someone else is determined to take them down.

The relationship between Angus and Ryleigh begins acrimoniously as the band isn’t found of someone reporting their every move but Angus quickly discovers Ryleigh is much more than a wanna-be journalist, she is the woman who is about to destroy his heart. Ryleigh knows that to get involved with Angus Jeffries is a potential conflict of interest, and in this, Ryleigh battles between head and heart when someone else takes advantage of her burgeoning career. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to the energetic members of Crimson Edge: guitarist Sam Fielding and his girlfriend, teen singing idol Kirsten Aiken (Edge of Forever), lead singer Jonny Gold who struggles with the betrayal of his band ‘brother’, bass player Mick who is in love with another muscian’s girlfriend, rhythm guitarist Tate Jeffries, band manager Sasha Petrov (Anatoli -Las Vegas Sidewinders 4), singer Lexi Rousseau from Nobody’s Fool; Ryleigh’s questionable boss Rich Fowler, musician and Crimson Edge nemesis Callum Yates, and his girlfriend /model Taryn Blakeny, and bus driver Ben.

LIVING ON THE EDGE is a familiar story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and manipulation, trust and heartbreak, forgiveness and love. The rock star / journalist love affair has been done by many authors, and all with the same take on betrayal and forgiveness but none the less, LIVING ON THE EDGE is a spicy tale of heart break and forgiveness. The character driven premise is captivating, dramatic and edgy; the romance is passionate and intoxicating; the characters are determined and charismatic.
