Snowflakes and Slapshots by Lasairiona McMaster

 

 
 

Synopsis:

In the heart of snowy Iowa, as the holiday season descends upon the University of Cedar Rapids, the campus is abuzz with Christmas cheer. But for your favorite UCR Raccoons, life isn't all merry and bright: the clock is ticking down to a team Christmas party at the de la Pena mansion.

Told through multiple points of view, this enchanting tale weaves together the hopes, dreams, and struggles of the players as they navigate the magic of Christmas.

As the team prepares for their holiday party, they discover that the true meaning of Christmas isn't found in victories on the ice, but in the bonds they have cultivated with their teammates.

From going in to labor at a llama farm, to shopping for the perfect ring to pop the big question, this novella dives into the lives that have intertwined throughout the Raccoon's series, and the warmth of a team that becomes a family.

 

Review: 


 
I love Christmas in July. If you crave something refreshing don't be fooled because Lasairiona McMaster writing is scorching hot as usual.

Snowflakes and Slapshots is a very easy to read novella, it shows us a little glimpse of the future of the Cedar Rapids Raccoons' couples. You need to read the previous books of the series to enjoy it as much as I have.

I'm stupidly happy for these characters, they are still friends and they are all accomplished as persons and as couples.

Coming Home to Starr's Fall by Kate Hewitt

        Synopsis:   Welcome to the town of Starr’s Fall, where Autumn can feel like it goes on forever, and two people have a chance to fall in love… The leaves are falling, with a crispness to the air, along with the scents of coffee and pumpkin spice, past a half-empty street of shuttered storefronts and a bandstand that has seen better days… Just like the whole town of Starr’s Fall, thinks Laurie Ellis – as she and her beloved dog Max head to collect the store keys. Maybe she has seen better days, too, but she’s certainly ready for a new start—and to leave her past behind. Still Laurie wonders whether she made a terrible mistake in coming to lovable but shabby Starr’s Fall. Will she even find customers for her pet store and bakery, never mind a community to welcome and accept her? Not according to Joshua Reilly , the handsome but grumpy manager of the bookstore across the road, who claims he’s never heard of anything so ridiculous as a bakery for dogs. But Laurie rema
