Merry Pucking Christmas

This is a beautifully well written story that will get you into the Christmas spirit. It is so much more than a beautiful, cozy romance with hot chemistry and a fun, flirty, sweet connection between these two strangers. It’s full of symbolism regarding family strength and hope after loss. But it also is brimming full of what Christmas is all about. Family. Giving. Love. Selflessness. I didn’t want to put this down. From beginning to end I was consumed in this heartfelt romance, making this book a must-read that effortlessly blends humor, passion and self-discovery.

“The cocoon epitomizes both visible outer transformations and personal inner ones. It also tells us that for life to change, we must also change ourselves.”

Unless he can give her a reason to stay.

This story shimmers with a magical touch as the reason for the season will wrap around you as these two find their HEA!

MERRY PUCKING CHRISTMAS is part of Kelly Jamieson’s Bears Hockey series. Player Nils Axelsson and accountant Harley Reid meet when Harley accepts her aunt Nora’s invitation to spend Christmas with her in New York City. While her life back in small-town Ohio is fine, her recent divorce and her ex’s subsequent new relationship aren’t exactly cheering her up, and getting away from that to be with family sounds just the ticket.

Nils and Harley’s relationship is definitely a bit of insta-love, though neither is really ready to call it love. They are both cheered to discover they genuinely enjoy each other’s company, and giving Harley a chance to enjoy the Big Apple’s Christmas festivities lifts both their spirits.

Kelly Jamieson’s characters charmed me, although I confess at times I wanted to gently shake all of them. They do eventually find their way past the issues that trouble them, and it’s a sweetly satisfying journey indeed. Well done, Ms Jamieson!
