About the Author:
An exhilaratingly fresh insight into the dilemma of a small town romance. New author, Sasha Thorensen, hits with characters that are believable and whom experience real life choices. The conflicts they face and the end result of their persistence will have you on the edge and cheering for their success. A delightful steamy escape.
I write about believable characters that you can immediately identify with or that remind you of someone you know. They are the type that you would like to call ‘friend’ and get to know. You’ll sympathize with their trials and feel their heartaches and triumphs. You’ll be cheering for them by the end.
I enjoy the four seasons and spending time outdoors in the PNW. At home, I chill with my better half and two cats.
Writing has been a new adventure after a 35-year career in Engineering.

He blocks pucks for the joy of it.
She bakes for the entire small town.
Love doesn’t always come when you’re ready—but sometimes it comes when you need it most.
Leander Mäkinen is a grumpy ex-NHL goalie who believes feelings belong in the penalty box. He’s divorced, scarred, and now stopping pucks in beer league. His adult son, Johan, is his dad’s protector on ice. But off the ice, he’s hooking his dad up with his girlfriend’s mother, Sofia.
Sofia Petersen is a shy small-town baker whose biggest risks is burning a batch of sticky buns. She’s widowed, warm-hearted, and underestimated. He daughter, Amanda, Johan’s girlfriend, invites her out to watch Johan play. Sofia doesn’t plan to fall for her daughter’s boyfriend’s very attractive, very gruff hockey dad.
Run-ins at the bakery become hotter than an oven. Cowbells in the stands and locker-room shenanigans go right to the heart. A snowmobile trip that ends with them snowed-in together, hits harder than a slapshot.
Blending families, risking heartbreak, and letting love past the blue line? That’s a whole new game.
Goalie Interference is a laugh-out-loud, steamy hockey romantic comedy with grumpy/sunshine energy, forced proximity, found family, and a championship-worthy HEA.

Vanessa Sterling doesn’t do distractions.
As Newport’s top real estate broker, she’s built an empire on focus and control. After her divorce, she swore she was done with love. She charters a sailboat for a chance to regroup before expanding her empire down the coast to Miami.
The man at the helm is temptation himself. Alejandro Mondragón is younger, ex-Navy, and far too intense.
What begins as a simple voyage becomes much more complicated when a storm destroys the boat’s navigation. Stranded at sea, Vanessa and Alejandro find themselves in close quarters where boundaries blur, agreements are thrown overboard, and desire rises with every wave.
She fears risking her empire. He fears risking his freedom.
She’s the silver-haired cougar everyone whispers about. He’s the restless wanderer no one can tame. The rules say it shouldn’t work, but on the open ocean, it’s passion that rules.
Stranded with the Silver Cougar is your next steamy, age-gap obsession.
“You definitely want to read this one!! Exceptional writing, phenomenal storylines, memorable characters!! Gives me hope that finding love is still a possibility.” – Deb 5 Stars
“It’s about time that I got introduced to the trope of reverse age gap. This was the first book I’ve read from this author and I think I’ll be looking out for her other works. This was a story between Vanessa and Alejandro. Two people that had a difficult relationships in their past. The question I had was at what age is a woman enter her “cougar” stage in life? Anyway, the story was written thoughtfully and appreciated the way she made difficult choices that were the best for her. It was a wonderful story that was well written and well paced. The circumstances were believable and characters, relatable. Overall, this was a very good read and I would recommend it.” – C.J. 4 Stars
“I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It made me want to keep reading more to see how Cole and Sienna’s story will turn out. It kept me interested in seeing how they both broke down and through their own barriers to find their true selves and each other. It’s refreshing to see how our own self built walls and barriers can be torn down with someone else’s help and love.” – T.D. 5 Stars
“Sienna and Cole, an unlikely couple that capture each other’s eye on the first day of class. The insecurity is real, they both have high walls to chip away at, will they be successful? This book breaks down the barriers of age gap; professor/student stigmas. I enjoyed this page turner that has enough spice in it to make it a ‘real-life’ love story.” – Kel 5 Stars

The first novella from Sasha Thorensen!
I can’t get out of this town fast enough. Falling for the bad boy biker before I finish college was not in the plan.
My newer car breaks down, and it’s Luke Harrison—magnetic, muscular, and a little bit dangerous—who jumps to my rescue. He’s all leather and classic cars. I’m all books and computers. Our worlds couldn’t differ more.
I steal away every chance I can to see him. Luke is either a gentleman or an animal in disguise. I will dare myself to find out which one it is. I’m ready to surrender it all.
I’ve caught his eye, too. He comes out of his grumpy shell every time he sees me. He’s resolved to let me into his locked heart.
My family would be furious that this secret love has disrupted their expectations.
I need to make an overdue decision without ruining everything.
“The author has a wonderful knack in bringing emotion and feelings to his characters. I was actually absorbed in the initial stages of Luke and Jade’s budding romance…..goosebumps and anticipation. I reflected on my own life and romances. This is an excellent read with just the right touch of naughty. I look forward to more of Sasha’s writings.”

“I just finished reading and I have to say, it was an absolute delight! The characters leapt off the page with such vibrancy and depth that I felt like I knew them personally. Each one had their own quirks, flaws, and charm, making them so engaging that I couldn’t help but root for them every step of the way. The chemistry between the leads was electric, pulling me deeper into their story with every turn of the page.”
