About this ebook

He falls first—and this grumpy hockey player is about to break every rule for the curvy, small-town woman who steals his heart.

When sunshiney Jenny wished for more adventure in her life, she never imagined she’d get a grumpy hockey player for Christmas. But Dylan’s arrival in Sweetheart Creek might just be the unexpected gift she didn’t know she needed. Sure, he’s injured, frustrated, and far too handsome for his own good—but there’s something about his quiet protectiveness that makes her heart melt faster than snow on a Texas rooftop.

Dylan’s used to being in control—on the ice and off. Now, with a career-threatening injury and trade rumors swirling, the last thing he needs is a distraction. But Jenny’s warmth, wit, and stubborn optimism break through his defenses faster than any slapshot.

He may be sidelined for the season, but this Christmas, Dylan has one goal in mind: winning Jenny’s heart for good.

Fall in love with this heartwarming, grumpy-sunshine holiday romance featuring a hockey hero who falls first, a curvy heroine who won’t settle for less than real love, and a small town full of laughter, hope, and second chances.

Ratings and reviews

Another fabulous book by the talented Jean Oram. Dylan and Jenny are opposites who click. Jenny is a small-town girl and Dylan is a professional hockey player. When they meet at Maverick's Thanksgiving dinner, sparks fly. Dylan is immediately drawn to Jenny because she isn't a swooning fan girl and pulls no punches where his fame is concerned. Their feelings don't take long to deepen and turn to love. Read this wonderful book to see how they navigate the road to love.

I loved these characters. Their dialogue was so snippy that it was hard to tell if they were flirting or fighting. (It's a romance. It's not hard for the reader to guess which it is.) The couple has several obstacles to overcome, some bringing a bit of physical danger, but most is their own inner conflict. I loved the ending!

I'm totally enjoying this series and getting to know all the hockey players and the women of Sweetheart Creek. I loved Dylan and Jenny's story. These two took a little while to figure out what they really wanted and how to get it. It all makes a captivating read that I read straight through.
