The deal was simple: marry my teammate’s sister, fake the fairy tale, get her a green card, and part ways like it never happened.
No feelings. No strings. No complications.
Yeah, well… that didn’t go according to plan.
We caught feelings. Big ones.
Now she’s pregnant, with my baby. And just when I’m ready to admit this might be more than just a deal, she drops a bombshell: she’s leaving. Headed back to Slovakia.
And she’s taking my kid with her.
That’s not happening.
She might think it’s over—but this story? It’s just getting started. Because they’re both mine, and I’m not letting go without a fight.
We enjoyed Aiden and Hana's story, particularly Hana's character. She was intelligent, charming, endearing, and had a vibrant personality when not consumed by worry.
Aiden, on the other hand, had his moments of goodness, but his actions and reactions often fell short for us. He made promises to himself about their relationship but failed to follow through, and his lack of action and tendency to make empty promises left us feeling disconnected from his character.
While we found him likable, we struggled to see him as truly lovable. Hana deserved better than empty words and unfulfilled promises.
For a couple who had an intense attraction and connection even before marriage, we didn't feel any of that, not even their chemistry. However, there were enough touching moments to outweigh the things we didn't like. The beautiful friendships and supportive family were heartwarming. We appreciated the honest portrayal of tough subjects like mental health struggles.
The ending brought a smile to our faces thanks to a couple of little old ladies. Fate works in mysterious ways.

I just didn't expect her to show up ten years later, ready to cash it in.
Recently traded to the Grizzlies, I’m struggling to find my place on the team. I’ve changed coasts, moved away from my best friend, from the Breakers who became family, and…I’m alone.
And it’s my birthday.
A fact that everyone around me seems to have forgotten.
Until a knock at the door proves differently.
I was in love with Luna when I was a teenager, and now she's on my doorstep, vivacious and beautiful and…holding a piece of paper I barely remember.
One that says we’ll get married…
And I think I’m just insane enough to say yes.
Married to Twenty-Two is the first book in the brand new Grizzlies Hockey series. If you love big, bearded hockey players who fall hard and fast for the women they love, this series is for you!
We thoroughly enjoyed the story of Luna and Aiden, high school sweethearts who get asecondchance at love. The chemistrybetween them was beautiful, and their relationship was filled with passion and playfulness. We loved the premise of how their reunion came about from a pact they made long ago.
The characters in this new series were lovable, especially Aiden's supportive hockey team and his family. We loved them all; they were wonderful, engaging, fun, and sassy.
The story was engaging with elements of meddling grandmothers, family drama, and deep emotional connections. Aiden was a charming and caring character, while Luna, also known as the "Tiny Tornado was sassy and fun. Their love for each other never wavered, and their journey of self-discovery andgrowth was heartwarming.
Overall, we loved the story, its characters, and the mix of drama, humor, love, and second chances. We found ourselves laughing and smiling throughout. We are eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.

They say to marry your best friend. So that’s what I did. But what no one knows is that it’s not even real—it’s a marriage of convenience.
Yeah, I married Claire Weller to fulfill a long-ago promise made back when we were just kids. Problem is, I’ve always had feelings for Claire, and now I’ve gone and fully fallen in love with her.
Too bad she sees me only as a friend.

Well, not really. Our marriage is a sham.
But I don’t want it to be—I want more. I’m afraid to tell him, though. What if he doesn’t feel the same way?
I don’t think my heart can handle that.
So I guess I’ll just go on pretending.
Until I no longer can.
