Book Description


It’s the most wonderful time of the year... to end up snowed in with your ex-boyfriend's brother.

Clay Barlowe's NHL career ended the night his knee gave out. One torn ACL was bad enough. The second? Game over.

Now he's the guy with a reputation—grumpy, stubborn, hotheaded. Every teammate would agree he's impossible, and he hasn't bothered to prove them wrong. Coaching might be his second chance…if he can avoid distractions and keep the rumors under wraps.

Which is why being snowed in with Tessa St. James is a temptation he can't afford.

Their families spent every Christmas together. Everyone thought she'd grow up to marry Clay's brother. No one knew her heart quietly belonged to Clay.

She's sunshine, sugar cookies, and Christmas cheer. He's a grinch, cold as ice, with more coal than candy canes.

When one stolen kiss under the mistletoe leads to one night tangled up by the fire, Tessa isn't just snowed in…

She's stuck in the sin bin with the scrooge.

And this holiday season, the only thing at risk is her heart.

My Thoughts


Sin Bin with the Scrooge by Brooke O'Brien is a cozy, steamy, and fast-paced holiday romance that brings together a sunshine heroine and a grumpy former NHL player for an explosive snowed-in experience.

The story follows Clay Barlowe, a hotheaded former pro hockey player whose career was cut short by a torn ACL, leaving him with a stubborn reputation as the team’s grinch while he transitions into coaching. Enter Tessa St. James—his brother’s ex-girlfriend, the girl who is strictly off-limits, and the absolute embodiment of Christmas cheer with her sugar cookies and sunshine personality. Having secretly loved Clay for years while their families spent every holiday together, Tessa finds herself trapped with him during a snowstorm, forcing past yearning and present desire to collide.

Filled with high tension and delicious tropes like forced proximity, only one bed, and family pressure, the narrative balances drama, heartbreak, groveling, and plenty of heat. Tessa proves to be exactly what the troubled, brooding Clay needs, calling him out on his flaws and giving him the strength to stand tall as he navigates his next chapter. The immersive experience is brought brilliantly to life through wonderful audio narration by Amy Hall and Gabriel Spires, whose stellar performances capture every ounce of longing, spice, and emotional dedication, making it a quick and binge-worthy seasonal treat.
