Trick Shot is a sweet and spicy Christmas novella and I really enjoyed it. I bumped it down a star because the mistaken identity lie went on for too long.

Leo and Riley are stranded at the airport on Christmas Eve, and after a couple of drinks, neither can deny their sizzling chemistry. The biggest issue is that Riley believes Leo is his hockey star brother Lucas. Leo is also in a situationship with his best friend and colleague, Jace, that is more like a serious relationship than he wants to admit. Because of the flight situation, Jace comes to pick up Leo from the airport, and he's slightly upset that Leo has roped him into the identity lie.

Throughout the night, things get spicy, and they have a deeper connection than any of them could have ever expected. On Christmas Day, Riley discovers the lie, and her trust is shattered because she genuinely trusted them. I don't want to spoil the end, so I'll end my recap here.

The spice was kinky and tender, and their intimacy was heartwarming. The biggest thing that bothered me was waiting for the other shoe to drop in regards to the mistaken identity lie.

This was my first read by Kayla Grosse, and it will not be my last. Thank you to Kayla for the ARC and this is my honest review.
