Get Both Vancouver Storm Hockey Romances in One Combo Set by Stephanie Archer

About the Book

This combo set includes two fan-favorite hockey romance novels, Behind the Net and The Fake Out, both part of Stephanie Archer’s beloved Vancouver Storm series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but together they deliver a full, satisfying world of professional hockey, heartfelt connections, and love stories that are nearly impossible to put down.

From the Back Cover

Behind the Net: He is the hot, grumpy goalie she had a crush on in high school. Now she is his live-in assistant, and keeping things professional is proving to be a lot harder than she expected.

The Fake Out: The best revenge after a horrible breakup? Fake dating her ex’s biggest rival on the ice. The problem is, it starts feeling a little too real.

About the Author

Stephanie Archer is a bestselling author of spicy romantic comedies known for her sharp wit, laugh-out-loud banter, and stories that always end in a guaranteed happy-ever-after. She lives in Vancouver and has built a loyal following across TikTok and romance reading communities worldwide for her ability to write heroes who are equal parts swoony and obsessed.

Who Is This Book For?

This combo is perfect for romance readers who love sports, slow burns, and emotionally rich love stories with a generous dose of steam. If you enjoy hockey romance, fake dating tropes, grumpy-sunshine dynamics, or books that go viral on BookTok for all the right reasons, this set belongs on your shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Do I need to read Behind the Net before The Fake Out? No, both books are written as standalones and can be enjoyed in any order. That said, reading Behind the Net first gives you a richer feel for the Vancouver Storm world and the characters that carry over into The Fake Out.

Q2. Are these books part of a larger series? Yes, Behind the Net and The Fake Out are Books 1 and 2 in the Vancouver Storm series by Stephanie Archer. The series continues with The Wingman and more, so this combo set is a great way to start from the beginning.

Q3. How spicy are these hockey romance books? Both books are adult contemporary romances with steamy scenes and mature content. They are best suited for readers aged 18 and above who enjoy spicy romance with emotional depth and humor.

Q4. Why is this 2-book combo a good buy? Getting both books together saves you the hassle of ordering separately and lets you dive straight from one story into the next. It also makes an excellent gift for any romance reader or hockey fan in your life.

Short Summary

In Behind the Net, Pippa Hartley takes a job as assistant to NHL goalie Jamie Streicher, only to discover he is the boy she crushed on back in high school. What starts as professional tension slowly builds into something neither of them can ignore, and along the way Pippa finds her lost passion for music again. In The Fake Out, Hazel Hartley agrees to a fake relationship with charming pro hockey player Rory Miller to get back at her ex, but the lines between real and pretend start to blur fast. Both books are filled with witty dialogue, warm character growth, and romance that builds slowly and pays off beautifully.

About the Book

Are you waiting for one best friend to meet all your needs? It’s time to rethink friendship.

From the Business Bestie who understands your career ambitions to the Old Friend who knows your history, this book helps you recognize the value in different kinds of relationships and shows you how to nurture each one intentionally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the Life Council concept?
The Life Council is a framework that identifies ten different types of friends every woman needs—like the Daily Duty Friend, the Fellow Obsessive, and the Yes Friend. Instead of expecting one person to fulfill all your friendship needs, you build a diverse council of people who each play a unique role in supporting your life.

Not at all. This book is for any woman who wants to be more intentional about her friendships, whether you’re building a new social circle, maintaining long-distance friendships, or simply want to deepen the connections you already have. It’s about quality and intentionality, not loneliness.

Q: How does Laura Tremaine define the different types of friends?
Tremaine breaks down friendships into ten categories based on what each friend brings to your life—from practical support to emotional understanding to shared interests. Each chapter explores one friendship type with real examples, helping you identify who fills these roles in your current life and where you might need to invest more.

Q: Can this book help with maintaining adult friendships when life gets busy?
Yes. The Life Council addresses the unique challenges of adult friendship—busy schedules, competing priorities, and geographic distance. It offers practical strategies for staying connected without overwhelming yourself, and helps you focus your energy on relationships that truly matter.

Q: Do I need to have all ten types of friends right now?
No. The book isn’t about checking boxes or creating pressure. It’s a framework to help you understand the different roles friends can play and to recognize where you might want to invest more intentionally. Some friends may fill multiple roles, and your council will naturally evolve over time.
