Publisher Description
Owen Cook
I have one goal: To be the best hockey player I can be. I’m not going to waste the opportunity I have. All my focus is on hockey. I avoid distractions like women and relationships during the hockey season, but when a quirky subway busker asks me out on a fake date, somehow I’m intrigued enough to accept.
Emerie Ross
I gave up my music dreams to look after my half-sister. I don’t want her to feel as alone and neglected as I did after our mother died. But my ex-boyfriend is still trying to win me back and now my stepfather is helping him. Gah! I’d rather drink bleach than marry Roman Moretti. If they think I’m involved with someone else, maybe they’ll give up on that idea. All I need is a man…a date for a party.
Owen
When Emerie introduces me to her wicked stepfather (ha) I realize I’ve made a huge mistake. He’s my boss—the man who owns the team I play for. And he’s not happy to see me with Emerie. Can you say career ending move?
Emerie
Oops. I hate hockey. How was I supposed to know who Owen is? How are we going to keep Vince from trading him away? How am I going to make sure I stay happily un-married? We’re going to have to keep up this pretense even if it means me going to hockey games. Ugh. Even if it means disrupting Owen’s rigid routines. Even if it means everything gets a lot more complicated…
Customer Reviews
Wonderful story
Ms. Jamieson did a wonderful job writing this story. It was entertaining and provoking. The characters were in-depth and likeable. Even the side characters had life and appeal. The back-story of each character’s loss was relatable and pulled on my heart strings, while the romance burned slow. I want to read more about these characters.
5 Stars for this hockey romance!
I just love Ms Jamieson's style of writing. Her characters are always so real and the banter makes me feel like I'm right there in the book with them ... and Owen and Emerie's story is no different. I felt so sorry for Emerie and all the loss that she had to deal with and totally understood why she would be so overprotective of her little sister. Owen had demons of his own and channeled them into hockey ... which was his whole life. Neither one of them are looking for a relationship, but the chemistry between them is so strong that before they know it their "fake" relationship is turning real. This book had me laughing, swooning and wiping my eyes. A fantastic start to a new series and I highly recommend it.
I received an early copy courtesy of Victory Editing NetGalley Coop through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
