Hat Tricks & Chrismukkah Nights by Evey Lyon is Available Now
It all starts just before Halloween—with sparks flying between me and my next-door neighbor. And not the fun, flirty kind.
Lainey is a single mom with a sharp tongue, a killer glare, and hockey’s #1 hater—her brother’s my biggest rival on the ice, too. She calls me grumpy, which is fair. I’m not exactly the “borrows jars of pumpkin spice for holiday cookie baking” type.
But then her ridiculously adorable kid ropes me into snowman building, Thanksgiving dinner, and—somehow—getting to know the woman behind the eye rolls.
Before I know it, things are heating up. Less arguing, more flirting. Less tension, more tangled up in my sheets…and Christmas lights.
Now we’re navigating Hanukkah chaos thanks to my loud and nosy family. While surviving Chrismukkah madness, I think I might be realizing this isn’t just a fling with the girl across the hall.
Because this year, the best holiday surprise didn’t come wrapped in paper. It came with sass, a smile, and a kid who thinks I’m a superhero.
This steamy, fast, and low angst romance brings together Tyler, a tough-as-ice hockey player, and Lainey, a fiercely independent single mom. A story filled with families who celebrate the winter magic of both Hanukkah and Christmas. Author’s Note: Tyler is a second-generation character as he is the son of Layla and Josh in The Unexpected Card. Does not need to be read to enjoy this story. Just a bonus!
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
This book was so fun! It’s a short and spicy holiday novella between single mom Lainey and Tyler, the pro hockey player who lives across the hall.
They definitely get off on the wrong foot, since Lainey and her son Enzo think Tyler is a bit of a grump when it comes to the holidays. Lainey’s brother is Tyler’s biggest rival in the hockey league, so she doesn’t exactly like him anyway. But when Tyler strikes up a friendship of sorts with Enzo, he and Lainey begin to realize that there’s a fine line between love and hate. I loved how Tyler learned to embrace the holidays the more he spent time with Lainey and Enzo.
Tyler plays for the Sparks, so this novella is connected to Evey Lyon’s hockey universe, and he is the son of a couple from her book The Unexpected Card, so it’s a next-gen romance, too.
Definitely check out Hat Tricks & Chrismukkah Nights if you are in the mood for a low-angst, steamy novella to get you through the holidays! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
