Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey comes a steamy novella full of hope and humor tracking a couple’s fake marriage for a year after the wild New Year’s Eve when they first say “I do.”

Adored by all, Britta is an ambitious waitress working at Sluggers. The popular bar holds a special place in her heart and is a regular hangout for the Bridgeport Bandits, the local hockey club. With a half brother on the team, Britta has a strict no-dating policy for hockey boys. But she does have a soft spot for one particular player.

A beast on the ice, Sumner Mayfield is on the brink of breaking into the NHL. But time’s running out. With his work visa about to expire, Sumner’s only chance to stay in Bridgeport is to marry an American—and get a green card. Otherwise, it’s back to Canada for the defenseman.

On New Year’s Eve, the team begs Britta to marry Sumner that very night. Sum is embarrassed yet hopeful—he’s desperately in love. But Britta balks at first. Until something about Sumner’s soulful brown eyes and ripped physique makes her reconsider…

Predictable but still cute

I never get use to men reading the women’s part and vice versa. But over a feel good story. Short sweet and a little naughty.

A quick and steamy novella!

This was the perfect amount of humor and spice to keep me out of a reading slump.

A marriage of convenience to attain a green card leads to strengthening a friendship that can't lead to more.

I love Sumner's character and honesty. He's a genuine book boyfriend and I love every moment he's on page, especially his patience with Britta and her past issues with relationships.

All the steam that Tessa is known for, but the characters that will stick with you for days to follow.

needed some research but super fun

This was a fun story with lots of great dirty talk and steam. My one complaint is that I wish the author had done a tiny bit of research about green cards. The ridiculousness of the timeline took me out of the story to start. However, the characters, the steam, and the brilliant narrators helped me get back into it. Very enjoyable short book.

Short, cute, steamy

The storyline was cute and sufficiently steamy. The male voice performance was a bit too cheesy for my liking — he didn’t sound like a 27 yr old hockey player would and I found his performance sort of cringey.

Meh 🤷‍♀️

Not TB best story. The story felt forced the obsession of the main character weird. The time in the story went from 9 months of nothing and then at then end like everything happening fast.

A cute way to read your way into the New Year.

I listen to this the day before New Year’s Eve, and it was a super cute listen. I think festive books are meant to be short and sweet, and the characters already have some sort of backstory or history between the two of them. I enjoyed the fact that the book started on New Year’s Eve and ended the next year on New Year’s Eve. So it was a full circle moment for the characters. It wasn’t overall funny and charming book that was great to read for the last listen of the year.

LOVED IT!

Had me hooked from the first chapter. Author did a great job of combining a feel good story with the hot and spicy romance. Glad this is in my library, because I will definitely listen again. Narrators were amazing!
