Icing on the Date: A Sweet Sports Romantic Comedy
He’s the brooding goalie who falls right into her cookie display. She’s the sunshine baker who melts his defenses.
I’m up to my ears in gingerbread when a six-foot-plus avalanche of flannel and Viking energy crashes into my Christmas cookie pop-up event.
Turns out, the man who takes out my brioche tray is none other than Noah Becker, the Blue Ridge Buffaloes’ new starting goalie and the mystery muffin tin returner who’s been haunting my Thursdays all season.
When we’re paired for the town’s peppermint bake-off, I brace for awkward silences and a plethora of over-kneaded dough. What do I get? A hot goalkeeper with secret smiles, gentle hands, and a surprising talent for melting my defenses.
He’s quiet, steady, and gorgeous in a way that should be illegal. One bake-off, a few kisses, and a whole lot of flour later, we’re elbow-deep in peppermint and feelings I don’t know what to do with.
But love isn’t always sugar cookies and hot cocoa. With hockey season heating up and my heart on the line, when Christmas ends, will the magic of our instant connection go with it?

Noah and Maddie
This is a fun and romantic short story. I enjoyed reading as Maddie and Noah met then grew together in love. I liked getting to know their friends and family. If you’re looking for a quick to read book I recommend Icing on the Date.

What a fun, sweet story about a brooding goalie and a sunshine baker who are paired up for the town's peppermint bake-off. Their first encounter is hilarious, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters' backstories and their insta-love story.

Bakery owner meets hockey goalie and falls in love. This is a cute holiday read with fun characters and a heck of a story. Noah is a goalie who has been paired up with Maddie for a holiday event. Together they make magic in more ways than one. This holiday read was adorably perfect.

Sweet story
A fun, sweet, short story. The storyline is fun and swoony even though it is short. Great read when you don't have a lot of time.
