From USA Today Bestselling author Jami Davenport comes a new Hockey Romance series featuring adorable animals, yummy hockey players, and relatable heroines. Join the men of the Spokane Lynx as they fall in love and battle for the future of their careers. My past has come back to haunt me. I'm the oldest player and the captain of a minor-league hockey team. My aspirations of playing in the big-time are fading, and I'm facing an uncertain future. My teammates decide to have a little fun at my expense and sign me up for a dating site. My first and last date happens to be with my old nemesis, Emory, who still blames me for ruining her chances as a hockey player. Not a fun time I'd wish on anyone. Imagine my surprise when the team's social media admin retires suddenly for personal issues, and Emory arrives as his replacement. We're butting heads at every turn much to the amusement of my teammates. The night of the Lynx holiday party, we're assigned to the same cabin as a result of an alleged administrative mistake, and there's no other room at the inn. If that isn't bad enough, a blizzard hits, and we're not going anywhere soon. Emory and I might greatly dislike each other, but we're also in denial regarding our mutual attraction. I don't see how this will end well for either of us, but it's Christmas, and perhaps the magic of the season might make the impossible, possible.

Yes, this is another Calculus book. However, it fits in a niche between the two predominant types of such texts. It could be used as a textbook, albeit a streamlined one — it contains exposition on each topic, with an introduction, rationale, train of thought, and solved examples with accompanying suggested exercises. It could be used as a solution guide — because it contains full written solutions to each of the hundreds of exercises posed inside. But its best position is right in between these two extremes. It is best used as a companion to a traditional text or as a refresher — with its conversational tone, its 'get right to it' content structure, and its inclusion of complete solutions to many problems, it is a friendly partner for students who are learning Calculus, either in class or via self-study.Exercises are structured in three sets to force multiple encounters with each topic. Solved examples in the text are accompanied by 'You Try It' problems, which are similar to the solved examples; the students use these to see if they're ready to move forward. Then at the end of the section, there are 'Practice Problems': more problems similar to the 'You Try It' problems, but given all at once. Finally, each section has Challenge Problems — these lean to being equally or a bit more difficult than the others, and they allow students to check on what they've mastered.The goal is to keep the students engaged with the text, and so the writing style is very informal, with attempts at humor along the way. The target audience is STEM students including those in engineering and meteorology programs.
