Elise Faber writes contemporary romance, hockey romance, billionaire romance, small-town romance, romantic suspense, and paranormal fantasy.

Her bibliography is extensive, but it does not form one continuous universe. Gold Hockey, Breakers Hockey, Rush Hockey, Sierra Hockey, Eagles Hockey, Grizzlies Hockey, and several newer series each follow different teams or communities. The Billionaire’s Club, Life Sucks, Roosevelt Ranch, and Love, Camera, Action occupy separate continuities.

Most of Faber’s romance novels follow a different central couple and provide a complete romantic ending. Reading within a series is still recommended because teammates, friends, relatives, earlier couples, and team developments carry from one book to the next.
The Best Starting Points
- Begin with Blocked for Elise Faber’s longest hockey series.
- Begin with Bad Night Stand for billionaire romantic comedy.
- Begin with Disaster at Roosevelt Ranch for family-centered small-town romance.
- Begin with Broken for Breakers Hockey.
- Begin with Big Puck Energy for a shorter hockey series with playful titles.
- Begin with Broken Laces for Eagles Hockey.
- Begin with Married to Number Twenty-Two for Grizzlies Hockey.
- Begin with Phoenix Rising for paranormal romantic suspense.
- Begin with Ballrooms & Blackmail only after completing the earlier Oak Ridge Vineyards books.
The Hockey Reading District
Elise Faber has several hockey series. They share a genre, but they should not automatically be treated as one continuous team universe.
The safest approach is to complete each team separately:
- Gold Hockey
- Breakers Hockey
- Rush Hockey
- Sierra Hockey
- Eagles Hockey
- Eagles Hockey: Oak Ridge Vineyards
- Grizzlies Hockey
- Home Ice Heroes
- Blue Line Matchmaking
Some crossover references may appear, but each series has its own starting point.
Gold Hockey Books in Order
Gold Hockey is Elise Faber’s longest completed hockey sequence. It follows players, coaches, team employees, friends, and relatives connected to the Gold.
The books are interconnected standalones. Publication order preserves team changes and recurring relationships.
- Blocked (2016): A hockey player and a woman with strong reasons to resist him begin the Gold series through a romance shaped by professional pressure and emotional defenses.
- Backhand (2017): Another member of the Gold organization faces a relationship in which old assumptions and the demands of hockey make trust difficult.
- Boarding (2019): A team-connected romance develops through conflict, close proximity, and the consequences of crossing personal boundaries.
- Benched (2019): A player removed from the action must confront the emotional and professional problems he can no longer escape through hockey.
- Breakaway (2019): Attraction creates an opportunity for two people to leave old patterns behind, but the Gold family ensures their choices affect more than one couple.
- Breakout (2019): A character trapped by reputation or circumstance attempts to build a different future while falling for someone inside the team’s wider circle.
- Checked (2020): A relationship is tested by interference, professional expectations, and the kind of emotional collision that cannot be treated like another play on the ice.
- Coasting (2020): A Gold player or team-connected character learns that maintaining momentum is not the same as making a genuine commitment.
- Centered (2020): A romance develops as the central characters search for stability inside a professional world built around pressure and constant movement.
- Charging (2020): Determination and attraction push another couple toward a relationship that requires more emotional risk than either expected.
- Caged (2021): A character constrained by fear, duty, or personal history must decide whether love offers freedom or another form of vulnerability.
- Crashed (2021): A sudden personal or professional collapse forces a member of the Gold community to accept help from someone capable of changing his future.
- Cycled (2021): A relationship caught in repeated patterns can only move forward when both partners confront the history keeping them apart.
- A Gold Christmas (2021): Players and established couples return during the holidays for relationship updates, family developments, and a seasonal continuation of the team’s story.
- Caught (2022): A character trying to conceal attraction, feelings, or a difficult truth is forced into honesty when the relationship becomes impossible to hide.
- Cap (2022): Leadership, responsibility, and the expectations placed on a central hockey figure complicate a romance with consequences for the wider team.

- Crushed (2023): A painful attraction or long-standing emotional wound brings another Gold couple together while earlier relationships remain active around them.
- Changed (2023): A character returning to the Gold world discovers that personal change does not automatically repair the relationships damaged before it happened.

Golden
Golden (2024): A later Gold Hockey story revisits the established team family and gives readers another relationship shaped by the history of the long-running series.
Golden is sometimes listed outside the primary numbering. It should be read after Scored rather than used as an introduction.
Gold Hockey Reading Recommendation
Read all twenty numbered books in order, then add Golden.
A Gold Christmas belongs after Cycled. It reveals established couples and should not be read as a standalone holiday introduction.
Breakers Hockey Books in Order

- Bound (2024): Obligation, loyalty, or an unavoidable connection ties two people together until their arrangement becomes a permanent relationship.
- Branded (2025): A character carrying a powerful public reputation must confront whether the identity placed on him matches the partner he wants to become.
Breakers Hockey Reading Recommendation
Begin with Broken and continue through Branded.

Is There One Elise Faber Chronological Order?
No.
Gold Hockey, Breakers Hockey, Rush Hockey, Sierra Hockey, Eagles Hockey, Grizzlies Hockey, Roosevelt Ranch, Billionaire’s Club, Life Sucks, and the other series occupy separate continuities.
Chronological order matters inside the Phoenix books because they follow continuing supernatural plots. It also matters within long hockey series when recurring couples and team developments are important.
A full publication-order read would move constantly between unrelated teams and genres. Series order is clearer.

Final Reading Recommendation
Begin with Blocked when hockey romance is your priority. Complete Gold Hockey in publication order, then choose another team rather than mixing every hockey series by release date.
Begin with Bad Night Stand for the Billionaire’s Club and continue through Bad Business. Add Bad Billionaires Quickies after Bad Bridesmaid.
For a shorter family series, read Roosevelt Ranch from Disaster at Roosevelt Ranch through Desire at Roosevelt Ranch, then finish with Christmas at Roosevelt Ranch.
The Phoenix books require the strictest continuity. Read the original trilogy before the LexTal Chronicles. Most of the contemporary series are interconnected standalones, but publication order remains the clearest way to preserve recurring characters and relationship developments.
