Roaring back from a life-threatening injury, Theo has the world at his skates as defenseman for his new team, the Chicago Rebels. Everyone adores his big personality, his on-ice talent, and his killer smile. Everyone but his prickly neighbor-or so he thinks. One chilly Christmas Eve, Theo will learn that maybe the girl next door isn't such a hater after all... Elle Butler is the most embarrassing person on the planet. How else can the ex-military-now-bartender explain her crush on the hot jock who lives across the hall? True, he has gorgeous green eyes and perfect cheekbones, but the filter between his brain and too-sexy mouth is permanently malfunctioning. Yet she can't stop checking out his Instagram antics or sneaking looks at him when he's at her bar. It's absolutely mortifying. Running from a past filled with damning secrets, Elle's determined that this guilty pleasure will remain buried in her deepest fantasies-because she couldn't possibly indulge with the Theo Kershaw...or make a mistake that draws attention to her under-the-radar life. And she especially couldn't be a mom to a professional athlete's baby...could she?

Ănnu ett exempel pĂ„ skön modern romcom = Klart underhĂ„llande, hjĂ€rtevĂ€rmande och lĂ€ttsmĂ€lt med nĂ„gra rejĂ€lt pulshöjande inslag đ Denna gĂ„ngen med fokus pĂ„ den snacksalige hockey-godingen och den fd armĂ©korpralen med den snabba kĂ€ften. Lite för mkt Ă„ngest och dĂ„liga sjĂ€lvbilder som aldrig verkar brytas ner men generellt varm o charmig. FristĂ„ende bok men inkluderar karaktĂ€rer och handling frĂ„n Good Guy. Kul och mysigt. Ăven liknande hĂ€nder hĂ€r och nu lĂ€ggs pucken upp för fler nya mĂ„l (đ) för flera av karaktĂ€rerna som fĂ„r egna böcker (I like). Ăven tvĂ€rt om -hĂ€nvisar till tidigare hĂ€ndelser som utspelar sig i tidigare böcker av samma författare. Lite förvirrande med audiobokens ensamma upplĂ€sare som gör att jag inte alltid fattar vem i boken som tĂ€nker eller sĂ€ger vad. Men helt okej som underhĂ„llande tidsfördriv.
