Get Frosted by Amy Aislin
4.0
I love a good Amy Aislin small town romance and Get Frosted was all kinds of small town, holiday sweetness!
Mik Gilmore is a retired professional hockey player who made his way back to his hometown, Christmas Falls, to take over the family bar with his retired pro hockey player brother, Josh. After playing hockey for 10 years, Mik enjoys working at the bar, but isn’t sure that’s all he wants long term. Mik is a little ray of sunshine - he’s goofy, sweet, totally in love with his family and his hometown and has a weird but cute obsession with Bigfoot. The one person who gets under his skin like no one else is his brother’s best friend who keeps popping up in his life.
Rudy Snow is also a retired professional hockey player and is Josh’s best friend. When he retired, he followed Josh back to Christmas Falls with no real plans to stay long term after a childhood and professional life full of moving around. After two years in town, occupying his time by managing another Christmas Falls bar, he’s feeling restless and ready for something new. Rudy’s a bit of a grump but he has a heart of gold and has had a crush on Mik for years, something he’s kept close to the vest.
While I expected more of a rivals to lovers storyline between these two, I loved what they actually were even more - Mik thought they were rivals and Rudy was teasing and pining from afar the whole time. It’s a small town, so it’s inevitable that these two see each other a lot but with them taking over hockey coaching from Josh and handling Mik’s grandma’s surprise party planning, there’s plenty more opportunities for their relationship to grow from rivals/pining into something real. Their relationship is really sweet and fun to read - they work together really well and I loved that Josh was super supportive of them being together because they fit together so perfectly.
Excited to read more stories in Christmas Falls this holiday season!
