BLURB:
Connor Spears is hockey royalty who most definitely never planned to accidentally marry his childhood irritation Hadley Crews.
Connor is smug, grew up destined for his hockey career, and heโs irritatingly good-looking. He was also my next-door neighbor growing up. He wouldnโt give me the time of day and made it clear he would never be friends with me, the ballerina and daughter of a baseball legend. Except for that one time. Years later, one hazy night, and now heโs apparently my husband according to the paper next to his bed in a Vegas hotel room. You would think we would have it annulled, but he needs to clean up his image, and Iโm a sucker for his occasional glances.
So, we agree to stay married.
Rumor spreads fast in Lake Spark, and the responses of our parents, who are best friends, well, uhโฆ theyโre mixed. But the problem with marrying for convenience is that you discover secrets about each other. You learn things too, like how he is by far more protective of you than you thought, or how sharing a bed brings out his dominant side. The thing is, it turns out that I may mean more to Connor than heโll ever admit. When life throws me another twist, I need a real husband to support me. And it turns out that Connor may have always been offside, waiting to winโฆ
Connor and Hadley bring heartwarming steam to this marriage-of-convenience romance with a hint of enemies-to-lovers and a dash of unrequited love. Waiting to Win can be read as a complete standalone and is the second book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is a spin-off of the Lake Spark series that includes their parentsโ stories. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I was so excited when I found out that Connor and Hadley were getting their own story! I loved seeing these two as kids in their parents’ books and couldn’t wait to see how their own romance played out. And it didn’t disappoint!
This book starts out as enemies to lovers as Hadley and Conner exchange snarky barbs on a trip to Vegas with his teammates/her friends. When they wake up married the next morning, they agree to stick it out for a bit rather than break the hearts of their parents, who are best friends. I loved the use of history between these two characters, who grew up next door to each another. I also loved that this was a second-chance romance, because those are my favorite. Plus, the playboy star of the Spinners hockey team turned out to be a cinnamon roll hero and a pretty perfect husband!
While the plot twist that upends Hadley’s life was shocking, I did feel a bit let down after the reason was revealed why Connor broke things when they were teenagers. That was it? I was expecting a bit more. That said, Connor put in the work to prove to Hadley that they were meant to be together and I was very happy with how these two turned their oopsie drunken elopement into something real.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
