The Love Faceoff by Kristine W. Joy: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 





The Book

My little sister’s best friend just got dumped because of me … and now I can’t stop thinking about her.

I’m Dylan Williamston—pro hockey player, life of the party, and self-proclaimed playboy.
Relationships? Not my thing.
Pranks with my childhood rival? Always.

But one prank went awry, and now she’s single on Thanksgiving.
Her heartbreak is my fault.

So, I try to make it right.
Christmas tree hunting. Hot cocoa sipping. Window shopping.

And somewhere between the pine needles and the tinsel,
I start seeing her in a new light.

With every smile, every spark of holiday magic,
I’m realizing this isn’t just guilt…
I’m falling for her.

She’s the only girl I’ve ever wanted for real.
But what if all she sees is the player I’ve always been?

The Love FaceOff is a no-spice hockey romcom. It’s the fourth and final standalone story in Kristine W. Joy’s Glaciers Hockey Series.

Book Review

I have loved getting to know all these Glaciers hockey players, and I must admit, I'm a little sad to see it come to an end... but it's certainly going out on a high note with Dylan and Cheyenne's story! The dynamic between these two was so much fun. Their Thanksgiving prank war had me smiling right from the beginning... and then when those friendly feelings start to evolve into more? Oh, it was just so good! I just couldn't get enough of these two together. Best friend's brother, hockey romance and Christmas cheer? This story truly is a combination of some of my very favorites, and I absolutely enjoyed every single moment! As great as the romance was, I also really loved seeing Cheyenn's growth throughout the story as well... it only made me love their story all that much more! If you're looking to add a little hockey romance to your holiday TBR, this is one not to be missed! 

The Love Face-Off is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is the fourth and final book in the Glaciers Hockey series. While those who have read the previous book will enjoy seeing some familiar teammates, this could definitely be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
