Checking Under the Mistletoe: A Reverse Harem Hockey Romance
She swore off Christmas—and love—after being left at the altar.
Stella Frost built walls around her heart that would make a hockey rink look fragile. Event planning keeps her busy. Keeping people out keeps her safe. And Christmas? She survives it, one painful day at a time.
Until three professional hockey players make her an offer she can't refuse.
The contract should have been Plan the Frostbite Falls Knights' charity gala. Smile through the holiday events. Collect her paycheck and disappear.
But nothing about Dash, Camden, and Theo is simple.
Dash—the intense captain who sees through every defense she's built.
Camden—the quiet goalie who understands her pain without asking her to explain it.
Theo—the golden retriever winger who makes her laugh when she's forgotten how.
They don't just want her professional skills. They want her. All of her. Together.
It's impossible. It's unconventional. It's terrifying.
And it might be exactly what she needs to believe in Christmas magic again.
But when you've been shattered once, trusting three men with your heart feels like skating on thin ice. Can Stella risk loving again—or will fear make her lose the family she never knew she needed?
A steamy reverse harem hockey romance about healing, second chances, and discovering that the best kind of love doesn't follow the rules.
Perfect for readers who love Why Choose romance, sports heroes, found family, emotional healing journeys, and holiday magic with heat.

I might have been able to finish this book, if it weren’t so badly in need of an editor. The first thing was that the timeline was all over the place. But the issue that really irked me was the repetitive and redundant nature of the transition from the MC keeping the men out of her life to trusting them. She’s wish washy and/or seems to forget that she already committed to trying, and they keep saying the same thing over and over. Honestly, I’m wondering if AI was used to write this book.

100% written by AI. The time line is all over the place. Names of characters changed. At one point her past situation was 5 years ago and suddenly it was only 1 year ago. Several scenes happen for the first time several times (first kiss scenes, certain conversations, large events in the book like a gala supposedly happened off screen and it’s days after the event and then suddenly it’s the night of the big gala kind of thing).

Wow, bad. I made it about 5 chapters and finally called it. The writing is bad and to straight forward.
Right away the characters are all emotionally mature like "Oh, we can tell she is so wounded and hurt from the man in her past. We must teacher her to love Christmas and men again."
