Publisher Description
A best friends to lovers hockey romance.
My coach is playing matchmaker.
And that’s a problem because I work with this beautiful and distracting woman.
Also, she’s my best friend’s ex making her very off limits.
I also might be crushing on her. Hard.
That’s a hat trick of reasons to say no. But if I don’t follow coach’s playbook on and off the ice I’ll be benched. Kind of like my heart.
If I say yes to this fake-dating plan…well, it could save my reputation (nice guy, wrong place, wrong time, etc., etc.) as well as get me those deals I so desperately need. It could even help out my teammates who’ve worked too darn hard to have their captain trash it all because he’s afraid to fake it with his friend.
To hold her hand.
To kiss her in front of the cameras.
To show her how she should be truly treated by a boyfriend—pampered and cherished.
And maybe to show her how I really feel…
Laugh, cry and fall in love along with these two meant-to-be characters as they stumble their way toward true love. This sweet romance is set in the same charming small town world as Jean Oram's The Cowboys of Sweetheart Creek, Texas series. Enjoy! (These are slow burn, closed door hockey romances.)
Customer Reviews
A wonderful romance
This couple has been friends for so long and now that a fake relationship is required, they each have the opportunity to explore the emotions they’ve hidden for so long. And it all goes so right until the busyness of life catches up to them. What is worth the sacrifice? I greatly enjoyed this relatively romance and the strong, well-developed characters. I appreciate how the relationship and the values are the focus and not the physical.
It was cute till it wasn't
Overall, I'm not mad I read it but I would not read it again. I thought I would enjoy it but at the end I felt a little... upset maybe unsatisfied... I find that there's a lot of useless details and but sometimes not enough detail when needed. Also I thought I would really like the characters but they got more and more confusing and irritating as I read.
Finding the one.
Daisy-Mae has had a crush on her friend Maverick for a long time but he doesn’t seem to feel the same way. She would do anything to help his career, including fake date him when Maverick’s coach suggests it.
Fake dating is fun because so much can go wrong. This sweet romance with so many interesting characters was very entertaining.
