Maybe This Christmas by Jennifer Snow
5.0
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!
