Lexi wants to have a quiet Christmas, so she decides to go to her family's secluded cabin to get away from everything… Little does she know, her dad - who happens to be the head coach of an NFL team, gives his key to one of his hockey players, Ryder. Once he gets there, he gets snowed in and they work from a fragile sympiotic relationship to something more.
Lexi has dealt with heartbreaking pain by someone who should have kept her safe and for that reason, she has built up walls to protect her heart. Ryder is so caring and wants to show her how much she is worth and that there is good in this world. Lexi and Ryder start to learn who to trust and who earns their places as found family. This is one of my very favorite tropes and it's done so well here. I feel like Im part of the group and I love that!! I adore the chemistry between Ryder and Lexi. They match so well. 🩷🩷🩷
‘The Christmas You Crash' is the second book in the ‘Going Rogue’ series. This is the first book I've read of the series, but I loved this one so much - I will definitely be going back to read the first one!! This is such an outstanding holiday read!

Ah! Luscious. The Christmas You Crash is giggle-inducing, cozy, and oh-so-sexy. Lexi and Ryder are the perfect pair. They can banter with each other and cry together. They have fun, but they also protect each other. They create the ultimate safe space for each their, and it’s beautiful to read.
The family that is created through the Rogues is stunning. The series so far has warmed my heart so much through its found family, and I could honestly read about every single one of these characters. I hope we get to.
There are some tough subjects touched on in this book, and Piper Hale handled them all delicately and with grace and respect. Still, do check trigger warnings.
I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, and I’ve blushed. The Christmas You Crash is gorgeous, and I’m so glad I live in a time when I get to read it.
