Jacques:
I'm a single father, and I've had all the change I can handle: Retirement from the sport I love, a crazy ex-wife in prison, and five kids who need me more than ever. I don't have time for a relationship, let alone one with the interfering mother of the best player on the hockey team I'm coaching. She’s annoying as hell, but she’s also equally on my mind.

Serenity:
I'm a hockey mom and proud of it. I'm also the oveprotective mother of a talented daughter hell-bent on playing with the boys. I'm determined that my daughter gets a shot at her dream despite her gender, even if it means butting heads with the team's rigid and hot AF coach. I have no intention in falling for this brooding man with a houseful of children, but sometimes life doesn't stick to the plan.

We wanted to blame it on the eggnog, but there's no denying our chemistry. Can two single parents find love and healing in the magic of a Garland Grove Christmas, or will our complicated lives ruin the best thing that's ever happened to us?

Garland Grove is the creation of four friends and USA Today bestsellers: Jami Davenport, Kat Mizera, Kelly Jamieson, and Tess Thompson. Journey with us to the quaint town of Garland Grove set in the mountains of British Columbia as our characters find true love when they're least expecting it

Blame it on the Eggnog is such a fabulous read. This is a single parent romance that will put a smile on your face as you go through the holiday season. Both Jacques and Serenity are single parents who have this sizzle that will want you hoping for more. I love the antics all 6 kids get up to when it comes to all that is Jacques and Serenity. Jacque is a wonder dad turned kids hockey coach. He has a lot of tough decisions to make when it comes to team dynamic and I love how he handles himself. Serenity is a sweetheart who is dealing with her teenage daughter the best she can. She is just wonderful with all of Jacque's kids and so patient with her daughter. There is so many wonderful and angsty moments between Jacque and Serenity's family that will keep you glued to the pages. This hockey romance will put a smile on your face as you watch the magic of Garland Grove claim another couple. I love what Jami Davenport brings to the pages to bring this Romancing the Rink book to life in the small town of Garland Grove. This is a holiday romance you will not want to miss out on.

Blame it on the Eggnog is the perfect holiday book. We meet Jacques Frontier a retired hockey player raising his five kids and just trying to get his and his family life back on track. When the local hockey team needs a new coach what he doesn’t expect is not only a girl on his team but her mom catching his eye.
Serenity Jacobs is a single mom raising her determined daughter who wants to play hockey even if she is the only girl on the team, when she meets the new coach she wants to give him a chance not only to do right by her daughter but she can’t help the attraction she feels towards him too.
There are so many obstacles for this couple to overcome, between their pasts, their children and even town gossip but together they are determined to overcome it all and blend their families and try and have a HEA.

I loved Serenity and Jacques. They had me all wrapped up and had to finish without stopping. Was it the eggnog or fate?

Holiday love

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2021

Blame it on the Eggnog is a wonderful holiday read!

Jacques is a retired hockey goalie with 5 kids and his ex-wife is in jail. He's trying to adjust to life outside of hockey and do the best for his kids. Desmond (Dez) is Jacques 14 year old son and he's on a hockey team. This hockey team just lost their coach because of an irate parent and Dez is trying to get Jacques to step in for a bit. Jacques doesn't want anyone to know who he is or worse, what went on with his ex-wife and why she's in jail. But, he feels bad for Dez and agrees to "temporarily" coach the hockey team.

Serenity is a single mom who's only child, Charlie, who's a great hockey goalie. Charlie is also a girl playing on Dez's otherwise all boys hockey team.

Jacques watches the team play for the first time and thinks Charlie is really good but he doesn't realize that Charlie is a girl until he speaks with her. In the meantime, he's already noticed Serenity sitting in the bleachers away from all the other hockey parents. He's attracted to her immediately. After the first practice Serenity pays a visit to Jacques to make sure that he will give her daughter a fair chance during the season. There's something fun about a mama bear wanting her child to succeed.

Will Jacques want to date the mom of one of his players especially when she's the one who caused the problems with the last coach?

There is something magical in the air (and the outside ice rink) at Garland Grove, not to mention something special in the eggnog. This is a wonderful holiday read full of real life angst and sweet holiday romance.
