15 Golden Retriever/Black Cat Energy Romance Books

Grumpy heroes are my jam most of the time, but sometimes I’m in the mood for opposites attract romance done a little differently – and that’s where golden retriever meets black cat energy kicks in. One of my favorite rom com movies growing up was 10 Things I Hate About You, and it’s got the same energy as this newish romance trope. It’s not quite grumpy/sunshine (or reverse grumpy/sunshine, which…

Fake It Till You Bake It

Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley satisfies your sweet tooth with a reality tv star/ cupcake shop owner relationship that leaves you wanting more. Jada is fresh out of a reality dating show that left her with legions of fans who blame her for rejecting the bachelor’s proposal. She has never found something she wants to do with her life, so when her grandmother offers her a deal to gain control of her inheritance early if she works at one place for six months, she says yes. Even though she recently insulted the owner of the cupcake shop she is set to work at. As a professional football player, Donovan knows he needs his passion for baking to turn into a successful business if he wants to have something to build on when he leaves the field. He is analytical, even-tempered, and risk-averse, but opening Sugar Blitz with two fellow teammates and friends is a risk he was willing to make. Donovan has also agreed to hire Jeda as a favor to her grandmother and the owner of his team, but he never expected to find himself in a fake dating scenario with her. Reporters love Jeda a lot more now that she is in a new relationship, and the struggling cupcake shop is finally getting the steady traffic it needs to stay afloat. Adding love to the recipe threatens to change both their lives, but they cannot say no to something so sweet.

Cupcakes, reality tv show dating drama, football players, and fun event planning all come together in a near-perfect culinary romance. I think Sugar Blitz is a perfect store. I cared about what flavors they had on their menu, their employees, their regulars, and even the development of the decorations. Sometimes the businesses or shops in romances serve as a functional, but bland backdrop to the romance at the center of the novel. I never felt that way about this cupcake shop and let me tell you I am already invested in who the other owners fall for.

I completely bought into Jamie and Donovan’s whirlwind relationship. They fall for each other the moment she steps in the door. The romance is more animosity-to-lovers than enemies-to-lovers, but I was still here for it. Jamie and Donovan quickly move past the light arguing to mutual respect to a fake dating scenario to real dating. Jamie supports Donovan’s efforts at the shop and is there for him when he explains his struggle to feel financially stable in adulthood after a childhood with a parent who has a gambling addiction. Donovan also works to help Jamie feel confident that her work is enough and she is enough after growing up with parents who saw her dyslexia as a problem. I will always root for a relationship that feels like a partnership and their chemistry was just icing on the cupcake.

Fake It Till You Bake It by Jamie Wesley fills a lot of different needs so if you are looking for a celebrity romance, a sports romance, a culinary romance, or a black romance book this could be the book for you.

A Week of Romance

Dear Fellow Reader, Sigh…. It has been a while again. I swear that I will keep this up and then life gets in the way. Since I wrote last, we have moved into Spring and almost Summer. But since I am sitting here in a sweatshirt and slippers, it certainly isn’t Summer today. I still need to get the hang of audiobooks. I have listened to a couple but so far I haven’t been sold on them. I…

Episode 30: Coming Clean

If Paul was planning to test the waters about coming out, it seemed that talking to Jamie was the best start. After their awkward encounter which revealed their shared attraction to Thornton, they still hadn’t properly talked about it.

Paul began by asking her what happened between her and Thornton that night–aside from the dirty version she’d already told him about. He made it clear that he was asking without judgment and that there were no hard feelings. After all, she was right that they never defined their relationship.

She said she was upset with Thornton that night and confronted him. She didn’t think it was right for him to cut her off like that because of Morgana’s insecurities. After some back and forth about it, Thornton and Jamie both admitted to having feelings for each other. Things started to get physical, but Thornton stopped and said he couldn’t continue. That was when Jamie stormed off and found Paul.

She apologized for using Paul to deal with her feelings about Thornton, but Paul supposed he was doing the same thing that night. “If you didn’t already figure it out, I’m bisexual,” he confessed, feeling a bit lighter now that he’d shared the truth with someone else.

Jamie sensed the weight he’d been carrying and warmly embraced him. She assured him that she didn’t feel any differently about him and supported him 100%. Paul was appreciative, but pointed out that the bigger issue at hand was her feelings for another man. Jamie sighed. “I wish I didn’t want him, but I do,” she said, her eyes brimming with tears.

“I guess I could say the same,” Paul quipped, and they both laughed at the awkwardness of the situation. It felt good to share a laugh with someone over something that had caused him such turmoil.

Ultimately, Paul and Jamie agreed that there were too many outside factors at play for them to continue their romantic relationship and decided to just be friends.

After Jamie left, Danica and Wesley came to check in with Paul. They'd picked up on the tension between him and Jamie and were wondering if everything was okay with them.

Without getting into all of the details, Paul told his friends that he and Jamie decided they were better as friends. He also took the opportunity to come out to them. They both apologized for the hurtful comments they'd made in the past and promised to be more supportive.

Paul ended the day feeling as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He was finally experiencing the acceptance he'd craved for so long. He just hoped coming out to his family would be this easy.

[What if the Leafs/Sharks game in Epic was covered by TSN? Spoilers Him/Us/Epic (Sarina Bowen, Elle Kennedy)]

NHL | TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS | SAN JOSE SHARKS

“He was f***ing incredible”: Maple Leafs’ Wesley on playing against husband

TSN.ca Staff

SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks victory last night will be one to remember for their unlikely hero, emergency back-up goalie Jamie Canning – husband of star Maple Leafs forward Ryan Wesley. The game made history, being the first time a married couple has played in an NHL game, and facing each other across the ice on opposing teams, at that.

“I was sitting there in the opponents jersey thinking, ‘Wes is going to kill me’,” said Canning. “I hoped that I would just have to sit there and open the bench door for the line changes. And I’d never had better seats for one of Wes’s games.”

It was a few minutes into the third period that 25-year-old Canning, a Toronto major junior hockey coach, was called into action for San Jose, tasked with facing a Leafs team where his husband started as a rookie almost three years ago. Canning, originally from California’s Marin County, came away with a 4-3 victory for the Sharks in his NHL debut, shutting Toronto out for the duration of his shift in net.

“He was f***ing incredible”, said Wesley. “We didn’t know who the back-up’s back-up was going to be until he was announced and skated onto the ice. At first I didn’t know what was happening. Watching my teammates playing against my own husband was so f***ing trippy.”

Once a prospect for the Detroit Red Wings, Jamie Canning was a formidable college goaltender in his senior year at Rainier when they clinched a spot in the Frozen Four. His Tigers were eliminated in the semifinals, but Wesley’s own Northern Mass went on to win the NCAA championship that year. Despite playing in the same tournament, the two never faced off against each other.

Until now. Injuries meant that Canning, who was already at the arena to cheer the Leafs on with his family, was asked to dress as a last-resort back-up for the now-starting goaltender Tim Pitti. A pile-up on the 101 meant that a back up goalie from AHL-affiliate San Jose Barracuda would not make the arena in time for the puck drop.

“I am on the emergency back-up list for the league, but nobody ever gets called,” said Canning, who wore number 33 for the game. “Every now and then you hear stories about an accountant who gets called up to play one period for the Rangers or the Kings, but those are practically fables, rare situations that allow an everyday Joe to live out his professional athlete dreams. I couldn’t say no.”

After the second intermission, Sharks netminder Tim Pitti was levelled following a punishing hit by two Maple Leafs’ forwards, and Canning answered the bell. Toronto had led 3-1 after the first two periods, but Canning made saves on every shot the Leafs fired on him, allowing the Sharks to come back with three more goals of their own.

“Look at J-Bomb go!”, forward Blake Riley was heard to shout from the Maple Leafs’ bench. Riley is close to the pair, who he has dubbed ‘Wesmie’, and is romantically involved with Canning’s sister Jessica.

The moment when the husbands came face-to-face arrived with five minutes left on the clock. Wesley found himself on a breakaway, charging towards where his other half stood guard. Some say that they had seen Canning stick his tongue out at Wesley when his glove closed around the puck, denying him the goal.

Toronto was not able to tie up the game.

“Of course I’m disappointed that we didn’t win”, said Wesley. “But I can’t deny that I’m happy for Jamie. He deserves it.”

After the defeat, Wesley’s teammates are understood to not hold any ill feelings towards Canning, who has proudly been called a member of the Maple Leafs’ family ever since their relationship was revealed two years ago.

Said Toronto forward Matt Eriksson, “When I heard that Canning was headed into the Shark’s net, I thought ‘s***, this is going to be epic’, and he was.”

Wesley and a few Leafs were seen graciously celebrating with Canning and his new teammates at a local San Jose bar after the game. Wesley had been told, “you can have your goalie back after we buy him a drink.”

“He saved our butts tonight,” said Nik Sokolav, San Jose’s star forward. “It was a big surprise to us in our locker room when we figured out who he was. I thought, ‘no f***ing way is this guy going to be our back-up goalie, he’s just going to hand the game to Ryan Wesley’. But he said nothing would make him happier than to kick his hubby’s a**, and I guess he did.”

A correspondent for TSN reports that Tim Pitti, seen at the bar with his arm in a sling, bought a round of drinks for both teams. Said Wesley, “we lent you Toronto’s best goalie coach. It’s time to pay up.”

Canning will return to Toronto this weekend where his major junior team will play their game against Niagara. In spite of his dedication to his coaching career, Canning is rumored to be a target for the Ottawa Senators, who are looking to bolster their goaltender ranks.

Jamie Canning married Ryan Wesley after Wesley’s rookie year with the Maple Leafs, in which he came out as the first openly gay player in the NHL. The two had been childhood friends, having attended hockey camp together at Lake Placid, New York, every summer since they were both 13 years-old.
