This is the latest book in this series. If you are a hockey fan (like me) or love romances than you will enjoy these books. I know I sure have enjoyed reading these books. In fact, I don't even care that the hockey is not the main focus. Although, there are some brief moments featured on the ice. Yet, it is what transpires off the ice that counts.
Asher and Emma have been friends for a long time. They are ready to take their relationship to the next level. There was not a lot of build up prior concerning Asher and Emma's relationship. Yet, I was fine with this. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not when a couple hooks up within the first couple of chapters. In the case of Emma and Asher it works. They were hot together. I loved that Emma took charge as well. She did not just let Asher make the moves, she commanded him. Maybe This Christmas makes the perfect stocking stuffer gift.

They were Best friends first and then become friends with benefits. Now Emma wanted more but was Asher ready for more or would the thought send him running. It seemed everyone had a plan for what they wanted from Emma but no one asked her, does she even know? After an injury left Asher benched he starts to wonder what is next out side of hockey, especially when everyone around him seem to have it all figured out. He knows one thing it better not take long to be back on the ice because he is going back no matter the cost and no one will stop him. Then he would figure out what was next as he went. Can they figure out what they want out of life or will the cost be to much?
I have been following this series from the beginning and this book did not disappoint at all. I am not sure if there are more books to come in this series but I hope so its been completely enjoyable so far. This book has to be one of my favorites, I really loved Emma and Asher friendship and how everything wasn't perfect and I enjoyed Emma and her strong personality. I loved this small town of Glenwood Falls and I love how there was follow up to the other characters in the other book and you get to find out whats going on in there lives. I will say this book does have strong language and adult scenes so it may not be suitable for all readers. Otherwise grab this book its with it and a super fun read.

This is my first time reading Jennifer Snow, which means that I stepped right into the middle of this series. However, I don’t feel like that had any effect on this story for me.
Ash and Emma are immediately established as longtime FWB so it’s already clear that they have a connection that goes beyond best friends.
Forced by an injury to face head-on a rivalry with his older brother, a possible addiction to pain medications and a future that might not include his best friend, Ash is dealing with a lot. However, he came across as too self-absorbed and assuming. I didn’t like how he just expected that Emma would be sitting around waiting for him to be done with his career so that they could start their future while never having such a conversation with her about it. He’s seemed so caught up in his career achievements and goals that he couldn’t see much past all of that.
Although I didn’t appreciate the way Emma’s sister went about criticizing and judging Emma and Ash, I did agree with her on certain points. Emma did kind of seem like a pushover when it came to Ash, except when she finally wasn’t anymore. It’s like I was waiting for that moment where she would stand up to him and stand up FOR herself.
Overall this story was a simple, easy read that was a good way to meet a new-to-me author. I could see myself picking up the other books in the series sometime soon.

Maybe The Christmas is book three in the Colorado Ice series.
I loved the previous books so of course, I couldn't get my hands on this book.
Maybe The Christmas is about Emma and Asher . I very much enjoyed it because It is fun, cute and sexy.
This story wasn't my favourite but I did enjoy it none the less. Very well written and like the others, it was a fast read.
I do highly recommend.
I give this a 3 out of 5.

This was the first book I'd read from this series and feel it is a good stand-alone book.
Emma is in love with her best friend, Asher. Asher is an NHL hockey star and having him jetting all over the US keeps her heart from completely breaking. Once he gets injured though he is back in his hometown recovering, and he wants her to help him recover. Emma is afraid to get too close but as physical therapist wants to help him get back on the ice.
A cute friends to lovers tale that brings the feel of a small hometown with some quirky characters and lots of heat!

I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Maybe This Christmas by Jennifer Snow is a fun, steamy romance that kept me up all night until I finished it. I adored this story and everything in it! Two friends who suddenly find themselves in love and wanting to make a go of their relationship….it was done perfectly.
Emma Callaway is head over heels in love with her best friend and she doesn’t know what to do about it. She does know that their friends with benefits arrangement can’t continue because it will eventually break her heart. The question is how does she tell Asher that.
Asher Westmore is one of the hottest stars in the NHL and about to hit a major career milestone when an injury puts him on the sidelines. The only bright spot is that Emma is a physical therapist. Not only can she get him out on the ice faster than anyone else she brings light to all his life. The only problem she’s ready to settle down and start a new path in her life and he isn’t.
Asher is a swoon-worthy idiot. From the first chapter in his POV, the readers know what he does not: that he is in love with Emma. This man can’t take his eyes off his best friend, he can’t wait to share every detail of his day with her, yet he’s a commitment phobe. This aspect of Asher’s personality irritated me. He’s got everything he wants until he realizes that Emma may leave him. It’s like this detail is what kicks his butt into action, it forces him to realize his feelings. Emma is no better. I wanted to reach through the pages and strangle her. Honestly this book could have ended after five chapters if the two main characters would have actually communicated their feelings.
Despite my frustration with their miscommunication, I did love their story. It’s sweet with steamy chemistry and I loved how easy it was for the two best friends to move into a more permanent relationship. I loved the tension and even the drama associated with it. While this book is the third in the series, it can be read as a standalone, but do know that other characters from previous books make an appearance here and cause minor spoilers for those books. (Don’t worry, I haven’t read those yet either and these things are not going to stop me from reading them.) If you enjoy steamy, best friend romance, I highly recommend you read this book!

Das letzte Buch dieser Reihe. Es war eine schöne Geschichte, doch ich hätte mir noch mehr Weihnachtsfeeling gewünscht. Außerdem war an einigen Stellen der Schreibstil auch wieder etwas komisch ausgedrückt. Man konnte auch hier wieder die Geschichte voraus erahnen. Trotzdem würde ich das Buch empfehlen.

Hockey hottie? Check!
Friends to more? Check!
Christmas? Check!
I am a sucker for a hockey story. Put hockey in the blurb and I will one click that thing faster than you can say "mine!"
I have adored the earlier books in the Colorado Ice series that I have read so far (I have missed a couple but will be going back to them) however I think that Maybe this Christmas is now my favourite.
I adore the friends-to-fwb-to more storyline. I adore that it is not all about how great the guy is on the ice. I adore that is is about our lovelies finding their way to more, that there is more to life than sport, that you have to do what is right for you, not for anyone else.
I did get a little frustrated with Asher at times though - he was a bit of a dunce when it came to things other than hockey (most of the time anyway).
And then there is Emma's sister. OMG the more the story continued, the more I really did come to dislike her. She redeemed herself with me with about 10% of the book left, but OMG I wanted to throw my kindle at her!
Maybe The Christmas was just the thing to start getting me in the festive mood, and now I can't wait to see what Ms Snow brings us next.
