Content Warnings for Mari Loyal’s Books

  • Spice Level

    You can expect plenty of chemistry between the leads and well described kissing, stopping maximum at a closed door.

  • Language

    As the male leads are athletes college-aged or professional, they use occasional coarse language. However, there won’t be f-bombs or religious blasphemies.

  • Innuendo

    Romance involves a hefty does of flirty banter that can sometimes heat up, but stays at a safe for work level (i.e. no explicit description).

  • Spanish Vocabs

    At least one lead character will be Latin American, and occasionally communicate with family/friends in Spanish. Every book contains a glossary of these terms in English.

  • Difficult Topics

    Sometimes, characters have gone through a traumatic event that has shaped them (e.g. the loss of a loved one, accidents, etc.), although this isn’t the central focus of the story.

  • Underage Drinking

    College parties can be a bit wild, and even though the author doesn’t condone this, her characters can sometimes behave badly as part of their development journey.

Mari Loyal was born and raised in Venezuela, a baseball country that only cared about another sport, football soccer, every four years. As such, she decided to make hockey her whole personality because she had to make a point of being different. These days she no longer suffers from Not Like Other Girls syndrome and is very happy to be in the sports romance fandom. She writes closed door romance with a Latin American flair and an abundance of cinnamon rolls heroes. She also enjoys eating cinnamon rolls (the confections), in her spare time.
