The Pucking Girl Next Door : Power Play Off The Ice: Snowed in for the Hoildays by Nichole Ruschelle
3.75
I am giving this a 3.75. This is a small quick holiday novella that was a cute hockey read with childhood friends where the MMC is also the brother's best friend. Now this book is part of an interconnected series with each book being a standalone. I can attest this is a true standalone because while there were mentions of previous incidents, I didn't feel like I was missing out on the story.
As this is a novella the story is a little rushed, but it was cute when they first see each other as it's been forever since they saw each other, and they didn't recognize each other. But of course, when they realize who each other is they are immediately attracted to each other and old feelings at least for Annabele come back to the surface. It was a sweet straight forward story with a touch of the holidays to get you in the spirit.
I do wish there had been a scene however with a blow up at the boss quitting. Would have been a little cathartic and could have bumped it up to a 4 for me but otherwise it was a straightforward story with only really very minor easily solved bumps.
This book is about Smith who decides to stay at his best friend's family mountain home for some R&R and to escape his family around the holidays. He was supposed to be all alone, that is until he walks in on a woman he has never seen before or so he thought. Turns out it is Annabelle his best friend's younger sister who he uses to play with and who he hasn't seen for years. She unfortunately missed her plane for the family vacation due to her jerk of a boss, but she hopes to make it out on a later flight. That is until a snowstorm comes in shutting down the airport and snowing her in with her childhood crush. Seeing each other after all this time brings out new feelings in Smith and old feelings for Annabelle. Maybe the heat between these two will be enough to melt some snow?
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
