Blurb

From #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a brand new enemies to lovers holiday novella (40,000 words) about finding love in unexpected places.

Dear Sneaky Santa,

I’d like to have a word about your sense of humor. Was it really necessary to stick me, a professional hockey player nursing an injury and avoiding the media, in an isolated cabin with a bratty, boot-designing princess who seems to have made it her mission to despise me? I mean, come on, what did I ever do to you?

And let’s talk about our first encounter. Was it your intention for her to barge in on me while I was enjoying a soak in the tub? It wasn’t exactly my finest moment, and I’m sure she didn’t appreciate the view of my massive body floundering around as I tried to grab a towel.

Now, I’m stuck with her, thanks to a mutual acquaintance, in the middle of a snow blizzard, navigating through bear attacks, sketchy neighbors, and whole lot of tension. I had plans, Santa, plans to escape to Cabo and forget about the world, not to be trapped with a woman who thinks I’m unworthy of her time just because she can’t stand hockey players.
Oh, and speaking of our delightful Iris, she’s stingier with her food than Scrooge was with his pennies! I’m not asking for a feast, but a guy’s got to eat! And could you possibly turn her yippy dog into a reindeer or something? It would certainly add to the Christmas spirit and save my eardrums.

I’m trying to rediscover the meaning of Christmas, and you throw me into this chaos? Is this some kind of test, or are you just having a jolly laugh up there in the North Pole?

So here’s my Christmas wish, Santa: sprinkle a bit of your magic and either get me out of here or be a Cupid and ignite a fiery, undeniable passion between us, because right now, this scenario is frostier than a snowman.

Review

4 ‘Cupid’s cabin’ Stars!

ARC provided via Grey’s Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

I’ll read anything Ilsa Madden-Mills writes. Ever since Dear Ava, this woman has me addicted to her books so I was really excited when she announced a surprise Christmas novella was coming. It seems this year I am in the mood for holiday romance earlier than expected since this is already my second one this month but both are written by some of my top favorite authors.

So, Christmas Cupid is Ilsa’s newest standalone romcom novella and it tells the story of two polar opposites (Kyler Blanchette and Iris Miller) who find themselves “trapped” together in the same cabin around Christmas. They really seem to get on each others nerves at all times but as soon as they start opening up, the chemistry is impossible not to appear. They start falling for each other, steamy times are happening and what will happen when the snow stops and they have to go their separate ways?

He’s everything I’ve sworn to avoid: my brother’s best friend, a hockey player, and definitely not my type. Yet there’s something about him that makes me feel like I’m having fun for the first time in ages. Our banter, his unexpected vulnerability— heck, I even like it when he calls me a brat…
It’s so confusing.

I quite enjoyed this short story. In typical Ilsa’s fashion, we get a little bit of everything: sports, comedy, hate to love, holiday cheer, steam and feels. What’s not to love about Christmas Cupid, am I right? Yes, I wish this was a bit longer because I was so curious about Kyler and Iris (and Rob/Puck lol) but it’s a novella. You know how it works! So, I am rating this book with 4 STARS because it was an enjoyable quick read that I am sure many romance lovers will enjoy reading now that the holidays are quickly approaching!
