Two cute kids, a cranky goalie, and a gingerbread house. What have I gotten myself into? Joey and me? Let’s just say we have history. And no, it’s not the cute kind. We orbit in the same sphere of friends, so avoiding him is like trying to dodge a Zamboni in a hallway. At best we’re frenemies, but nothing more. When Joey’s sweet nephew asks me to help build a gingerbread house for a contest at his school, I’m all in. Baking for a competition? Who can resist? Hopefully his handsome uncle and I can set aside our differences for the sake of the contest. I thought I would skate through my senior year, play for the Golden Stars, and get drafted into the NHL. But when I get to know the beautiful baker better, I realize there’s more to life than hockey. Will she ever see me as more than a thorn in her side, or am I stuck in the frenemy zone like a goalie with no stick? There’s a fine line between love and hate. Will Emma and Joey skate over that line? Gingerbread and Goalies is Book 3 in the new Golden Stars Hockey Rom Com series. This short and sweet romantic comedy is filled with a delightful blend of hockey, romance, and humor and is a perfect lighthearted read for the beach, a cozy Sunday afternoon, or after the kids go to bed. There's lots of snappy banter, swoony kisses, and laugh-out-loud scenes, but all are “kisses only” romances with a guaranteed HEA.
