The hockey has-been, the barista, and some holiday magic…
Court
Cut from the team, fired my agent…now what?
This can’t be it for me. Unfortunately, the phone isn’t ringing. My best bet is to head home for the holidays and regroup.
Problem: I don’t know what to do with myself. Helping out at the rink might be my ticket out of here, but nothing is happening fast enough. And then there’s Ivan. No, no, it’s not what you think. We went to school together. We’re acquaintance-friends…nothing more.
But you know, I like him. A lot. He’s funny and relentlessly upbeat. I’m a better person when I’m with him—the kind who volunteers to deck the halls and wrap garland on lampposts and—
Whoa. What’s happening here?
Ivan
I love the holidays! But running the coffee shop on my own during the busiest season of the year is going to be a challenge. And the sudden appearance of my former crush is all kinds of distracting.
See, I spent my formative years mooning over Court Henderson, our high school’s hockey phenom, even though he was out of my league. Thankfully, I grew up and left the silly remnants of my youth behind. Or did I?
Grown-up Court is full of surprises, and under his gruff yet extremely fine exterior, he’s a good soul with a huge heart. He’s charming, sweet, handsome, and— Uh-oh.
My crush is back. Just in time for the holidays…
Holiday Crush is an MM bisexual, small town romance featuring a renewed ancient crush, some mistletoe latte art, and a little seasonal magic.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Court’s hockey career hasn’t exactly been going well lately. He hasn’t been playing well and he knows it. No matter how hard he tries, he just can’t find the groove but he’s sure he can get himself back on track. Too bad his coaches don’t believe so. Next thing he knows he is cut from the team and decides to return home to Elmwood to figure out what next. He isn’t ready to be done playing hockey yet. Especially not like this. So he’ll do what it takes to get himself back on track. What he never expects is the surprises Elmwood has in store for him. The biggest being Ivan. Ivan is happily surprised that his long time crush, Court, has returned to Elmwood. Though it’s been many years, so he’s sure that crush has died long ago. So he’ll focus on his coffee shop and the holiday season. But then he runs into Court (literally), and ends up spending a lot of time with him and then learns that Court is bi. And suddenly that crush is right on back. And the crazy part? Court is clearly crazy about Ivan as well. A holiday romance that will have you swooning and ready for all the holiday cheer! Court and Ivan were absolutely adorable. Ivan is nonstop and Court is there for it all. This was a fun holiday romance and I loved being back in Elmwood! You definitely won’t want to miss this story.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
