The Goalie Who Stole Christmas by Cali Melle is now live!
Asher
After my mother was diagnosed with cancer last year, she has been on my siblings and I to get married.
Afraid that her time is running out, she just wants to be here for all of the milestones in our life.
I'm the last one left, the one who doesn't even have a girlfriend.
My family knows that my life is invested in hockey, yet they still continue to push.
I can't show up at my brother's wedding alone and deal with their disappointment.
Instead, I need to find someone who will pretend to be my girlfriend for the week.
And Sydney Phillips is the perfect candidate...
Sydney
With my family gone for Christmas, it looks like I'm spending the holidays alone.
Until Asher Golding propositions me.
We've been friends since freshman year and swore to keep it that way.
Asher asks me to go to Maine with him, to be his fake date for his brother's wedding.
He wants me to spend the holiday with his family afterwards, to make his mother happy.
Who am I to say no?
I don't have any plans, Asher is one of my closest friends, and we're just playing pretend.
Nothing could possibly go wrong with our fake relationship, right?
Even if we do end up having to share a bed...

MY REVIEW
Asher needs a girl to come home with him for his brother's wedding. Pretend to be his girlfriend to appease his mom. He isn't exactly looking forward to finding someone who won't read into it, so when his friend Sydney agrees to be the fake date, he's actually ecstatic because they have an easy friendship and he knows she's not the type to demand more than he's willing to give. Except he didn't account for close proximity and realizing just how perfect she is for him. How he might just have found someone that will divert his attention from hockey.
Sydney made her friend Asher promise he wouldn't fall in love with her if she agreed to be his fake date. So what should she do when she's the one falling? How could she not? She's discovering new depths to her hockey obsessed friend, has found a beautiful family in his welcoming one, and she doesn't want to go back to their reality and leave this holiday bubble of warmth and love.
Friends turned more can be tricky to write. For me to appreciate this trope, the couple has to have strong chemistry already, and the angst can't be so much that it ruins the friendship, even for a little while. I was glad to find that Asher and Sydney make a great couple with hot chemistry that meshed easily with their familiarity as friends. Both are likable, especially Sydney, and the angst isn't too much or too little. Though short in length, their love story feels like a full length fully drawn romance.
