Accidentally Fudging the Beast

Accidentally in Love #2

by Nichole Rose

Nothing tastes as good as chocolate…until it nearly kills the hot hockey star of your dreams.

Dani
I had a vision when I made fudge for the team's homemade Secret Santa exchange.
It didn't involve nearly killing Trent Kirk, the hot hockey star I've been obsessing over for months, but here we are anyway.
Now, he's insisting that I spend Christmas break helping him recover.
His idea of healing and mine are not the same.
His plan involves me naked in his bed. Mine? Well, maybe they are the same.
But he's hockey royalty, and I'm still Googling how to talk to men.
There's no way this is going to work…right?

Trent
My imminent death masquerading as chocolate was fate.
Now, I have an excuse to get Dani Frost out of the training facility and into my bed.
I've been obsessed with her since she told me to strip the first time.
But convincing my mouthy little physical therapist that I'm the man of her dreams before Christmas?
Well, I'll think of something because there's no way I'm letting her go now.
She nearly fudged me to death. That basically means we're soulmates.
And, rules be damned, I will be keeping her.

This one was a cute novella for me. We have Dani who works for the team making sure the guys are good has a sorta crush on Trent. And he has one on her so he takes up all her time lol. She accidentally poisoned him with honey since hes allergic and takes care of him. Lol its cute there is alittle we cant because we work together from Dani side but it wasn't to bad.

I was alittle suprised with the lack of spice. Since nichole does do spice alot. But its okay.

This story is simple. The H is a veteran hockey player, and the h is the physical therapist. It is the Christmas season and there are secret santa gifts exchange. Our lovebirds are secretly in love with each other, and Trent, pretends to have back pain for the three months since they met and secretly follows her around when he is not in her office. Dani is too shy to shoot her shot, thinking he isn't into her in that way, and even if he were it could cost him his career and hers. The story starts after they met 3 months ago, so they tiptoed around each other for that long before the story starts.
He eats the fudge she made but it contains honey which he is highly allergic to so our heroine takes him to the hospital. That scene is pretty funny since he cannot speak properly because his tongue is swelling, but still manages to flirt with a panicked Dani. She is worried she almost killed him while he is just trying not to scratch his ass covered in hives in front of his sunshine. After begging her to be his personal nurse, they spend days and nights in each others arms. Finally after 3 months, it took fudge and a trip to the hospital for these two to get together and it is a sweet rom com with very little angst. There is a Christmas party he wants to go to with her but she is not sure they should be seen publicly together. They do go together and it is amusing. He is proud to have her as his woman, beaming at having her in his arms, but she is afraid of abandonment and judgment. She has had a rough life and is afraid of loss. Trent shows Dani that he is here to stay and they are meant to be together forever. The sex would be hot if it were DV, but I am glad we had no history on him (it is a low bar with NR because she is known to be mercurial when it comes to the men and the unfairness unnerves me). When it is shoved in our faces many times that she is a virgin, I anticipate him responding back that he is too so that our heroine can have the right to claim him just as much as he claims her, but to be met with silence instead, it is as disheartening as if you say to someone you love, 'I love you', only for the response to be, 'Mmm hmm, that's nice.' That is how I feel when there is unfairness between the hero and the heroine in terms of experience; the hero gets to claim all of her, but I have a feeling it is not the same for the heroine. It is simple for me, if its not dual virgins, I am disheartened and saddened; it is just my personal taste. In general it was sweet but I will not reread it. I get having a Christmas story in December, or have a Christmas in July story, but not in October. That was a dumb choice. October is spooky season!
Happy reading

Lighthearted, steamy, holiday-themed hockey romance between Dani, a physical therapist, and Trent, veteran player hottie and strictly off limits to her as a member of the team she treats. A not-so-secret Santa swap results in Trent having an anaphylactic reaction to a sweet treat Dani made, resulting in a trip to the ER. As a condition of his hospital discharge, Trent demands Dani accompany him home to monitor his recovery. One thing leads to another and feelings give way to action.

I received an advance reader copy from Instalove Influencers, and I’m sharing my honest review.

This story focuses on Trent and Dani. Dani has been working as a physical therapist for a big name hockey team for a few months. She has been trying to find her footing and nursing a crush on one of the players on the team, Trent. Trent has had his eye on Dani since she started with the team but hadn’t found a way in with her yet beyond scheduling a lot of sessions with her. When he eats the fudge she made and accidentally has an allergic reaction to the honey in it, Trent takes full advantage of the situation and gets to work on finally making Dani his. I loved the two of them together! This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

Nichole Rose brings a darling laugh out loud steamy hockey romance. I could totally relate to Dani’s running brain talk as she tries to function in an overwhelming hockey environment while quietly having a mind affair with the hot Trent Kirk and hiding herself in her work as team PT. Trent is just as much vulnerable but determined to find a way to make Dani his. A little Christmas treat disaster, an EpiPen and a little fudging on truths by Trent puts them is steamy proximity. Loved the banter, the slowburn to sizzle, the team chaos, the bravery and the heartfelt HEA. I received an advanced copy of this book and this is a voluntary review.

This book was so cute! I loved almost every moment of it. It's very much instant-ish love with an MMC doing everything he can to get our girl's attention. This is a short, quick, steamy read with tons of laugh out loud moments. If you need something light and easy, definitely check this one out.

Anytime we have Nichole Rose and hockey players... I know I'm going to be a happy girl. I absolutely devoured this book, the same way our poor Trent devoured the fudge... thankfully, with better results 🤣. I laughed so much 😂. I swooned over our obsessive, smexy, grumpy to everyone but Dani hockey player 🫠. I paused for a glass of water.. 🥵🥵! I just absolutely loved it 😍!

Oh my gosh this was such a fun and heartwarming story.😍😍 Dani is the physical therapist for an ice hockey team. Trent is one of the hockey players and he is obsessed with Dani. He saw her and instantly knew she would be His . A fudge and an anaphylactic shock later Trent finally has the chance to get Dani in his house and in his bed😏 Now he just has to convince Dani that he wouldn't hurt her and that it's the real deal between them.

Dani Frost is a physical therapist for the Chicago Wind’s Hockey Team. She has been obsessing over Trent Kirk the hot older hockey star for months. So when she gets the hardest person of all to buy for as her secret Santa, she decided to make it. Dani also thought that while she was at it, she would impress Trent with her fudge by making enough for the whole team. With him in mind. Trent had been coming to Dani on a regular basis to get a massage for his sore back for the past three months.

He asked for her every time. This day, there was no exception on the day before Christmas Eve. She gets the fudge to the table without dropping it. A miracle since the room looks like a frat party is going on, more than resembling a training facility. Trent hasn't arrived yet, so before she can tell the guys it's for them, Ryan is already cutting into it and eating some. Trent arrives and lets her know. She tells him she just needs to get the room ready. So he steps out, then steps in again, telling her the fudge is great.

He leaves again. When he comes back in, he’s eating some more, and she tells him that he might want to go easy on that before Sandra comes after him. She’s the nutritionist. She tells him to lie down, and she starts the massage. They start kidding around, and he turns to look at her that’s when she realizes his face is beet red. And that his speech is off. Dani says, “Do you have any allergies?” Then it's like a fast-moving movie reel flashing before her, she sees it all his medical history, and there it is bees, and anything related to bees honey.

Oh! No! Raw honey was in her fudge. She yells for her friend Liz, the other therapist, to get the medical kit with the newest epinephrine pen STAT! Meanwhile, there are welts popping up, he is coughing and clearing his throat, and he starts scratching at his skin. She’s half carrying him to the door nearest to where she parked. Liz comes running and gives her the pen. Dani administers it into his thigh. The results are instant when it comes to opening his airways and some swelling.

She gets him in her back seat and takes him to the nearest ER. Someone had called ahead, so they were expecting them. The whole time he kept telling her that if he was going to have a near-death experience, he was glad it was over the good fudge that she had made. While they are there several people mistake them for a couple, catching her off guard. They pump him full of Benadryl by IV, so although woozy he is feeling better, itchy in places until the meds are fully on board.

Meanwhile, they tell them they will be releasing him, but he needs someone to stay with him. Dani said she planned on getting things squared away and then would call his brother to come stay with him. He told her that it wouldn’t work because he works in homicide and can be called in at any time. So he guilts her into staying. That's when he finally tells her he’s had a crush on her for months. That he has wanted to ask her out, but she has always been as skittish as a colt. Dani just assumed it was just the drugs talking. But they really started to get to know one another. That night he asked if he could just hold her, nothing else he promised, and in the morning when the drugs would wear off they could revisit going out. She said sure. See where the next day takes them. With her background can she allow herself to have someone as good as Trent in her life? Will Trent truly know how to care for a bruised soul, and a heart like Dani’s? Read and see.

OMG!!! WOW!! Fab*u*lous Absolutely love this one!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice read, a little longer than I usually read but so worth it.

Trent and Dani met when she starts working with his hockey team as the physical therapist. Trent has to fake an old injury to get to see Dani, he also pays off some of this teammates to take their spot. When Dani takes in some fudge to work for some of the hockey players, Trent is eating it when he breaks out in an allergic reaction. Trent comes to see Dani for his appointment when he's eating the fudge she notices some blotches on his skin. Dani soon realizes she put honey in the fudge and Trent is allergic to bees including honey. Someone gets Dani an EpiPen and she injects Trent, then rushes him to the hospital. Trent does everything he can to make sure that Dani stays with him while he's in the ER. When Trent is released he's told he can't be alone so he tells Dani she has to stay with him because he eat her fudge. Dani stays the night at Trents place and they end up in bed together. Trent confessed last night to Dani that he's been trying to see her whenever he can, but she thought it was the drugs he was on. Trent then pleasures Dani and they make love. Trent makes Dani breakfast and they talk about their families. Trent asks Dani if she'll go to a work party with him, but she doesn't want to so he has to convince her. Trent and Dani spend the rest of the day getting to know one another. Later that night Trent and Dani show up at the party together. Several of the other players notices them together and tells Dani it's about time she figured out Trent wanted her. Some of the puck bunnies gives Dani dirty looks, but she figures its not them that Trent wanted to bring to the party. Trent and Dani find a room alone and make love, when they come out one of the players is there and tells her good luck. Dani gets a little tipsy at the party and Trent takes her back to her place. The following morning Dani is in the bathroom throwing up when Trent wakes up. Dani insists that Trent go to his parents for Christmas but he wants to stay and take care of her. Dani makes Trent leave she doesn't want him to see her like this so he goes to the grocery store and buys things to make her feel better. When Trent comes back to Dani's he notices she's been crying, so he makes her some soup and they cuddle on the couch together. A few days later, Dani heads to work determined to talk to coach about her relationship with Trent. When Dani walks into coach's office Trent is already there. Trent and Dani talk to coach and he has not problem with their relationship. Trent tells Dani that he loves her and Dani tells Trent she loves him. On New Year's Eve Dani wakes up with Trent beside her. When Trent wakes up he asks Dani to move in with him. Dani asks Trent if it's too soon. Trent asks Dani if she'll marry him and she tells him yes. Five years later, Trent wakes up to the sound of his girls in the kitchen. When Trent comes down he finds his four year old daughter, Alisha and Dani in the kitchen making fudge. Dani is pregnant and due any day. Dani went all out for Christmas this year, with lights all around, and tinsel on the tree. Trent gets to work helping out making the fudge, then helps Dani clean up the kitchen. Trent has a new job coaching college hockey. Dani tells Trent she never thought she would have this, and Trent tells her he never thought he would either. Trent knows this is right where he was always meant to be.

Dani Frost is the new physical therapist for the Chicago Wind hockey team. She has been there for three months. She makes homemade fudge for the Christmas party which is the day before Christmas Eve. She leaves it in the general PT area and goes into her office. On her schedule today is Trent Kirk. Dani has had a crush on him since she started. She always gets nervous around him. She is generally awkward socially which is why she is still a never been kissed virgin.

Trent eats a couple of pieces of fudge before Dani starts working on his upper back. All of a sudden, Trent is having an allergic reaction. He is allergic to bees. Dani put honey in the fudge recipe forgetting that Trent is allergic. She administers an Epi Pen and rushes Trent to the ER. She is mortified. Trent has liked Dani since she started. His back is fully recovered from his fall, but he still puts himself on Dani’s schedule twice a week just to see her alone.

The ER releases Trent as long as there is someone to drive him home and keep an eye on him for the next twenty-four hours. He is not supposed to do anything but rest. Dani planned on driving him home, setting him up with fluids and calling his brother Noah to come stay with Trent. His brother Noah is a detective with the Chicago Police Department and is on a case right now. Trent guilts Dani into staying with him.

These two were so cute together. She is generally insecure and traumatized since she grew up in foster care. He is afraid to quit playing hockey because that is all he knows how to do.

Nichole does it again giving us a banterful, instalove, Christmas time romance between Trent and Dani and I loved it from the start.

Dani is one of the team physiotherapists, and Trent is a veteran hockey player on the team. They've both wanted one another since meeting, but neither have made the move. Until a piece of fudge made by Dani takes down Trent, and a plan forms in his hazy mind to finally get his girl.

I'm absolutely loving being in my instalove Christmas era 🎄❤️

5++ stars

Oh my gosh, this book was awesome! I swear, I laughed my butt off SO many times then minutes later I’d be melting at how sweet it was. Especially Trent—a pure cinnamon roll hero if there ever was one, sweet as sugar and three times as hot.

Don’t miss this Christmassy hockey romance… it’s hockey light really with it being just about the players but I don’t think even hardcore hockey addicts will mind as Trent falls for Dani, his physical therapist when he fakes an injury just to get her hands on him. When her fudge sends him into anaphylaxis… and the ER… he’s ecstatic as he FINALLY has her undivided attention when she stays with him—out of pure medical necessity, of course (riiight). Not that Dani minds as she’s been scribbling their name together and planning her wedding to him practically from the first glance. I could go on and on because it’s just that good but for time’s sake, I’ll just say, grab it, you won’t be disappointed. 5++ stars

This is the ultimate in rom-com storytelling! I honestly don’t feel bad about having laughed through the entire incident where Trent reacted to Dani’s fudge, but I couldn’t help myself! Poor Dani feels horrible for almost killing such a hockey legend by fudge, but, honestly, everyone else’s reactions…!!!

This is a lighthearted, funny holiday story about two people finding their way to each other. Both have spent the past several months mooning over the other, and through the calamity of an allergic reaction are able to spend their first holiday together. And the team interactions between the two main characters just continue to add brevity to the whole story. Well worth a read if you’re looking for sweet, funny and entertaining!

[Tiffany Hill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my goodness, that was so fudging good!

Accidentally Fudging the Beast is a delightful standalone hockey rom-com, and I completely gobbled up Trent and Dani's love story! It was just as quick as Trent could devour Dani’s fudge. Even though Trent found himself in the hospital because of a tiny allergic reaction to a substitute ingredient in Dani’s recipe, he’s making the most of it. Now he has Dani right where he wants her—cozy at his house for the holidays, keeping an eye on him to make sure nothing goes wrong!

I absolutely loved Trent and Dani! Their playful banter had me laughing out loud, and their chemistry is just sizzling! I can’t wait for Trent's brother’s book to come out in the future!

[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

At just 155 pages, this was one of the shortest books I’ve picked up—and definitely the quickest. I devoured it in half an evening! There’s no slow build or backstory; you’re dropped straight into Trent and Dani’s world. While that fast start kept the pace moving, I did miss having a little more world-building to fully connect with them. The author sprinkles in pieces of their upbringing, but not enough for the deeper attachment I usually feel in longer romances.

That said—this book still gave me all the cozy feels. Trent and Dani’s banter was adorable and added just the right spark to keep me turning the pages. Their teasing moments were my favorite (and honestly made the story feel like wrapping up in a comfy blanket).

[Dawnmarie Burke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an absolutely adorable hockey holiday rom-com Trent and Dani's story is a fast and funny steamy read that really gets you in the holiday spirit. Their story is so relatable,we can't wait for the two of them to admit their feelings for each other and get together. Dani is the PT for the hockey team that Trent plays for and she's been obsessed with Trent for a while. When Dani decides to make fudge for the secret Santa she has no idea how that one decision will change her life. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this absolutely adorable hockey holiday rom-com to see what happens. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

This was a fun rom com with a hot mess of a couple and I loved every second of it. I loved that Trent was so desperate for her, had a serious side when needed, but also had the maturity of, well, a hockey player! Dani was awkward, didn’t put up with anything and so funny, but she was also vulnerable and shaped by her past. They were perfect for each other and the steam was oh so steamy. This is a feel good, no drama, no third act breakup kind of book and it was great! No cheating or OM/OW drama, virgin FMC (unknown for MMC), dual POV, HEA and an adorable epilogue 5 years in the future. I cannot wait for his brother Trent’s book, I just know it’s going to have the same energy and be even better!

[Amanda Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

The start of another great series by Nichole. She is the Queen of Romcom’s. This story has banter, a hot hockey player and a (kinda) shy physical therapist.
All it takes is seeing Dani across the room and Trent knows she will be his forever…now he just has to convince her. He’s doing all he can to show her that not only is he interested but if she gives him a chance, he won’t ever let her go.
Trent is a total sweetheart to Dani and worked hard to break down her walls.
Dani has had a crush on Trent since she first started working for the team but she has it in her head that he will never see her as anything more than a physical therapist. Little does she know, he sees her as so much more…
Will Trent get his wish and get the girl? Will Dani’s past affect her future?

Beeeutiful.....

Trent and Dani
Trent is a 38 year old hockey player and Dani is a sports PT. They have more than hockey in common. They are obsessed with each other but don't know quite what to do about it. Her job complicates it slightly, but Trent uses it to his advantage, faking back pain to get to see her. She can't tell if he's flirting or just being "one of the guys" with her. But the day she brought her secret Santa homemade fugde and the guys a plate, she started the unmasking of feelings for them both. Because fudge made with honey ate by a hockey player allergic to everything bees doesn't bode well for life, epi pens and chaos ensued. Definitely a HEA

Absolutely and totally the best story about finding love!

This is a beautiful story about individuals who never thought love with a capital L would be possible for them. I enjoyed all the little thoughts and actions each character dealt with as events unfolded. There are those who are convinced they will never be truly loved, but if we communicate instead of procrastinate we can have those impossible moments in our life. This romance was awesome to sit back, read, and honestly enjoy!!!!!

Nichole Rose did it again with this rom com. I probably shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did when poor Trent was almost dying due to Dani's fudge. This book was hysterical and sweet. I loved every bit of it. Trent's teammates are a hot mess but I am hoping we see books for them in the future. Dani and Trent are perfect together. If you want to laugh, some naughty times, and a love so sweet then this book is it. Loved it. 5 stars!!

If you're looking to feel every emotion this is the book for you. I loved this story so much. Dani and Trent's chemistry is off the charts.
A secret Santa exchange gone horribly wrong brings the hot hockey player and his team's physical therapist much closer than either of them planned.
It's a story of love and healing. I highly recommend this story. Nichole Rose only gets better with each new story.

Dani is a no-nonsense team physio, and Trent is the veteran player she definitely shouldn’t want—but does. And the feeling’s mutual. When a piece of Dani’s homemade fudge sends Trent into an allergic reaction, he hatches a (slightly hazy) plan to finally make his move. Cue forced proximity, flirty tension, and some serious holiday charm.

Festive, fun, and full of chemistry, this was a feel-good read.

**This is an ARC review for my honest opinion.**

This is and holiday hockey romance about Dani, and Trent, hockey player who she feels like she doesn't have a chance with. A not-so-secret Santa swap results in Trent having an allergic reaction. With a trip to the hospital and being discharged, Dani has to watch over him to make sure he is ok. This book was good and light hearted and you will love it.

[Lauren Stockdale · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dani is shy when it comes to Trent even though she does imagine being his future wife. Unfortunately a severe allergic reaction brings Dani and Trent together when he eats some of her Christmas fudge. Trent loves that he can finally be close to Dani but Dani can’t believe she caused him to have a severe reaction. Their story was so funny and romantic with Trent reassuring Dani that he will always be there for her.
