This is the kind of romance that sweeps you off your feet before you even realize what’s happening. Piper Rayne crafts a story that’s playful, bold, and packed with heart, following a bride-to-be who unexpectedly finds herself rethinking everything after one night with a stranger—who turns out to be Conor Nilsen, the charming goalie of the Chicago Falcons. From their first chance meeting during her bachelorette party to the unforgettable “I object” moment at the altar, this book keeps you hooked with its perfect mix of chaos and charm.
What makes this story stand out is how grounded the characters feel, even in the midst of such a dramatic plot twist. Conor isn’t just a swoony hockey player—he’s genuinely kind, thoughtful, and surprisingly respectful of boundaries. Their connection grows not just through flirty banter but through small, meaningful moments, like stargazing and talking about dreams left on hold. And her struggle? Relatable. She’s caught between expectations and the quiet, nagging feeling that she deserves more—more joy, more love, more life.
There’s a wild, cinematic energy to the story, especially when she ends up as his roommate post-runaway-bride chaos. But at its core, Mr. Swoony is about rediscovering your own voice, taking chances, and trusting that the right kind of love doesn’t ask you to settle. If you love slow-burns with a little spice, a lot of heart, and a dreamy hockey hero who makes breaking the rules look like falling in love—this one’s for you.
