Resumen del Editor

From New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey comes a steamy novella full of hope and humor tracking a couple’s fake marriage for a year after the wild New Year’s Eve when they first say “I do.”

Adored by all, Britta is an ambitious waitress working at Sluggers. The popular bar holds a special place in her heart and is a regular hangout for the Bridgeport Bandits, the local hockey club. With a half brother on the team, Britta has a strict no-dating policy for hockey boys. But she does have a soft spot for one particular player.

A beast on the ice, Sumner Mayfield is on the brink of breaking into the NHL. But time’s running out. With his work visa about to expire, Sumner’s only chance to stay in Bridgeport is to marry an American—and get a green card. Otherwise, it’s back to Canada for the defenseman.

On New Year’s Eve, the team begs Britta to marry Sumner that very night. Sum is embarrassed yet hopeful—he’s desperately in love. But Britta balks at first. Until something about Sumner’s soulful brown eyes and ripped physique makes her reconsider…

spicy

A quick read. Told in first person with two POV'S, main female character and main male character. If you're into the Hockey Romance this fits it perfect. Teammates sister, man is obsessed with her, marriage of convenience and very very detail spicy scenes from the Male POV. He loves the dirty talk. It actually felt like most of the books was spicy scenes and dirty talk.

New Years Novella Gold!

Britta is a confident, beautiful bartender with a hurtful past and plans to never be married. Sumner is a star hockey player on his was to the NHL. Sumner is also a hopeless romantic and he can't help but fall for his teammates sister- Britta. On New Years Eve, the hockey team begs Britta to marry Sumner to keep him from getting deported before he's called up to the NHL. No strings attached. But could she keep her guard up around this sweet, thoughtful, gorgeous man?

I cannot say enough about this one! Tessa Bailey is the queen of dirty talk and sweet Sumner delivered! Their relationship was so fun to read and the ending of this one was PERFECT! The audiobook for this one was also great. I loved both the male and female narrator (PS- did anyone notice that the male narrator, William LeRoy, sounds ALOT like Owen Wilson?? Anyone??) Now you won't be able to get it out of your head. Highly recommend for a quick, sexy, fun Rom Com.

Miss Bailey…

Hands down the filthiest thing I’ve ever read/listen to from this woman. I loved every minute of it 😍

Short and Steamy

I love everything by Tessa Bailey! This was the perfect short steamy listen to give me a break from the heavy, dark things I was reading.

Short and Sweet

Cute novella. I think I would have liked reading it vs listening, the female’s voice was not my favorite. The FMC acted more like a teenager than someone in her mid-twenties. Very immature and annoying at times. But since the book was so short, she was tolerable enough to finish.

cute and spicy quick read

loved this cute little quick read! I loved the banter between the two MCs. There was also some spicy which was interesting to listen to as opposed to reading it haha

Loved it!

Tessa Bailey does it again! Great shorter story, excellent narrators! Now I’m craving broccoli cheddar soup!

Quick and absolutely adorable

This was the perfect novella. Fake marriage, hockey, he falls first! Ugh loved it so much. Perfect novella to end the year with ❤️

Fun and Sexy

I listened to this in December when I discovered Tessa Bailey. Her books are fun, sexy, and spicy. She brings heart and heat to her writing. The write narrators/performers add to the storytelling.

Good voice acting

I love Tessa bailey-- this one was a bit cheesey, but a fun listen! I would recommend her others for sure over this but it was cute!
