Merry Little Kissmas
I should've known better than to make a Christmas bet with my brother's best friend. Six-foot-three, grumpy, and allergic to mistletoe and feelings.
My job sounded simple: find a holidate for the sexy single-dad hockey star before the team's Christmas Eve gala. But Rowan's sworn off romance forever. So when he bets I can't find him a plus one, I up the stakes and volunteer as tribute.
I'll fake date the holiday hater just to prove him wrong. Cue the mistletoe sabotage and Secret Santa subterfuge.
But soon our practice dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions feel a little too real-especially when he starts planning secret trysts in our snowy small town. Where I discover exactly how fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
And when I get to know his book-loving daughter and they invite me into their life, what began as a holiday bet is turning into a Christmas I'll never forget.
What if the only gift I want the grump to unwrap this season... is me?

It's a bit long in the middle with a 3rd act breakup, but the end is great!
Isla is a romantic who had her heart broken last Christmas but perseveres with her matchmaking business.
Rowan is gifted Isla's services this Christmas because he's such a scrooge this time of year. What no one knows is Rowan got his heart broken on Christmas day 5 years ago and was left alone and a single father so he's soured on Christmas forever.
Over the process of matchmaking and practicing for dates Rowan and Isla fall in love and have their HEA and a wonderful epilogue.
This has spicy scenes but is 100% a romance β€οΈ I'm giving it πΆ1/5 chilies on the spicy scale.
I listened to the audiobook and it's amazing! Lauren Blakely has always had the best narrators and this cast is full of all-stars!
