Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I am combining CWW with Books From the Backlog hosted by Carole at Carole's Random Life in Books. This will allow me to feature some newly "rediscovered" books, which I plan on reading, alongside a new release.
This week I can't wait for

When a wronged bride and an NFL quarterback find themselves sharing the same Hawaiian vacation, a no-strings, just-for-fun encounter quickly becomes unforgettable in this warm-hearted, extra spicy football romance for fans of Sarah Adams, Tessa Bailey, Monica Murphy, Kristen Callihan, and Lucy Score.
Iris Benedetto’s wedding day just went viral . . . for all the wrong reasons. After a heated blowout with her lying, cheating fiancé at the altar, Iris storms off on a solo honeymoon—loudly announcing that she’s finally going to find out what good sex is all about. Rebranding from small-town preschool teacher to #Horny Runaway Bride was not the plan, but the insanely hot stranger who ends up double-booked in her bungalow on the island of Kauai is an opportunity even devastated Iris can’t ignore.
It’s not often NFL quarterback Roman Maguire meets someone who doesn’t recognize him. Even rarer to have that someone barge in while he’s taking a shower and quickly make him an irresistible offer. Roman is in Hawaii to secure the deal that could finally land him a Super Bowl ring—and closer proximity to his son. A sexy fling in paradise is a perfect way to spend a week with a surprise roommate . . .
Except . . . suddenly a week doesn’t seem nearly enough. And once the truth about Roman’s identity, Iris’s internet infamy, and all kinds of loyalty-testing secrets are revealed, will they both be willing to step into the real-life spotlight together?
This seems to start with some drama with a runaway bride who goes viral. I like the idea of her taking her honeymoon anyhow, and that she unknowingly ends up with a sports star. Sounds like an interesting dynamic with rom-com feels.

A GRINCH OF A GOALIE
Nick hates Christmas. Like, really hates it. And the holidays in Chance Rapids are OVER. THE. TOP.
In fact, they even filmed a cheesy holiday movie there.
They do have one good thing going for them—a hockey team. The players are treated like celebrities, and the highlight of the town’s ridiculous Christmas Festival is an outdoor hockey game.
That’s where Nick comes in. His mission: sabotage the game, make some quick cash, and escape this festive nightmare before he’s forced to march in the Santa Claus Parade.
But as he schemes to ruin Christmas, he meets Evie, the kind innkeeper's daughter. Her warmth starts to melt his icy heart.
Life in Chance Rapids with Evie could be perfect, but there’s no way she will forgive him if he goes through with his plan. Will he choose hockey...or her?
This was a freebie, and honestly, I am loving all the Christmas books right now. What a great combination for me - hockey and holidays! It sounds like fun, and you know I am always looking for a book that will amuse me.
