Genre: Holiday Sportsball Romance

When Maddie Grainger’s longtime boyfriend dumps her on TV for the entire world to see, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom.

Until her parents announce that they’re spending the holidays with her ex’s family… And he’ll be bringing the woman he left her for.

All Maddie wants for Christmas is to stick it to her cheating ex. But how?

Enter Sebastian Slater, the NHL’s most infamous player.

On a drunken night out in Vegas, Maddie asks the superstar athlete to pose as her new boyfriend. She’s kidding, mostly. But Seb shocks her by making a counter offer: he doesn’t want to date Maddie for the holidays… he wants to 
marry her.

Show up at her ex’s cabin alone, or with a surprise new hockey-playing husband? Maddie opts for the ultimate level up.

Because maybe, just maybe, revenge is a dish best served 
betrothed.

This was pretty cute. A festive, light read to end the year. I love a baking show and I love hockey and I love a marriage of convenience, so what's not to love about this book? Maddie's family was one thing, apart from her brother, of course. Her mom and stepdad kind of sucked a lot, in a semi-triggering way. But mostly everybody got what they wanted for Christmas!
