About this listen

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…

Love when the guy falls hard

Britta agrees to marry Sumner so he can remain in the US to play hockey. Sumner fell for Britta when he first met her and he wanted a real marriage, but Britta had been hurt in the past and trust doesn’t come easily to her. Cute and quick novella.

Cute love story

It was a very predictable but cute little story. The 🌶️ was 10/10. Very fast paced. Makes for a quick listen.

Cute novella

4/5 ⭐️
2/5🌶️
4/5 🎧

This was a cute novella by Tessa. I liked the narration a lot, but some of the plot lines were unrealistic and hard for me to get into. I also didn’t like the major time jumps as I wanted to see more of their relationship together. I loved how obsessed Sumner was with Britta. I loved his character so much. It was overall a cute read, but I feel like Tessa has better books out there.

Not for me!

I love Christmas stories, I just however, do not like stories with explicit sex talk in it.

Yawn

Slow and predictable. Skipped to the end to make it through. The narrators were fine but they didn’t have much to work with.

Spicy fun!

I loved that the two main characters traded telling the story and shared their different POVs.

Typical romantic story with some erotica thrown in

There is nothing earth shattering about the story and it’s a nice quick listen. I didn’t love it, however, and even fast forwarded some of the sex scenes because I got bored with all the description. I did end up listening to see how it ended and I will say I loved the ending.
